Don't Try This At Home

I'm Not Home Yet!

Attention robber-types: I'm not home yet. I'll be home tonight. After the conference, my husband came and picked me up and we drove to Michigan to play golf. Correction: We drove to Michigan so he could play golf and I could sit on the clubhouse porch with my laptop. Lather, rinse, repeat for today.

My BlogHer '07 exploits are few, but varied. I'd love to share them with you, and I will, but I'm tired. Tune in this week to see how I made a fool of myself and to download the notes I took.

In the meantime, enjoy this little video I made with Shannon.

The Story of Sack

I did not receive any body grooming products in exchange for drawing your attention to this commercial. Oh my word. I was laughing so hard. This is hilarious viral marketing.

Congratulations Dog Days of Summer Winner

OK! Congratulations to Super Susie! You won the amazing tote bag! You will now be the height of fashion. You rock! I'll be contacting you via e-mail to get your shipping info.

Caption This #1

I'd like to try out a new feature for Saturday posts. I post a picture, you type a caption in the comments. I can't wait to see what you come up with!

 

Today's the Last Day!

Hey! Today's the last day to leave me a comment on this post so you'll be entered in the drawing for the tote bag! Don't forget! (One comment per person, please.)

I'll post the winner on Monday. Cross your fingers!

The Mass Exodus

 

• Nose glasses: not waxed, but checked!
• Shoes: 1,2, check, 3, 4, 5, 6, check!
• Skirts: twirly-swirly check!
• Books: Alohomora! check! (I finished the new Harry Potter on Monday, but I am reading it again it was so good!)
• Laptop and cords: tap-a-tap check!
• A bunch of other stuff: overpackers anonycheck!

Why? Because it's time for the BlogHer conference, y'all. And I'm going! (Along with a few hundred of my closest friends.) Like who? Well, let me do a little name dropping.

I'm rooming with Shannon (since, apparently, we can't go anywhere blog-related without each other), Antique Mommy, and Jeana. Then we're catching up with Kathryn, Eve, and Jenny. And maybe Chris. I know what you're thinking and I totally agree: They aren't big name enough to hang out with me. But I'm feeling generous and charitable. I decided I'd go ahead and let them all bask in the glow of my mustache.

Overheard

Wild Thing: Mom? You're not supposed to double dip!

Me: Um, yes. Normally. But this is a french dip sandwich. Thus, you DIP the sandwich. Since I can't eat it all in one bite, there's double dipping involved.

Wild Thing: OK, how 'bout you stop being French and start acting American? No double dipping.

Overheard

Max: I wonder which girl friends will be in my class next year?
Me: (raised eyebrows)
Max: NO! I mean friends that are girls, not girlfriends!
Me: Oh, I'm sure lots of the girls think you're cute.
Max: No, they don't. They think I'm macho and strong. Now drop and give me 20!

Dog Days of Summer Give Away!

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm late. Of course, I had a choice: I could either post about this or I could love on and play with my nephews who are visiting. Um . . . NEPHEWS!

But now I have a few minutes and I'll post my give away. It's a flowerdy, pink tote bag with a green lining and green handles. It's bigger than a purse, but perfect for toting stuff around in (thus, the name: tote bag). Yes, I made it myself just for you.

 

And I am holding a drawing for this bag on Friday. You want a chance to win it? Well, then, leave me ONE comment on this post some time this week. I'll hold a random drawing on Friday. If you leave more than one comment, I'll have to delete it, and then I'll be annoyed. So just one, OK? Thanks. Air kiss. Love ya. Mean it.

Oh, and good luck!

Welcome Back, Potter
