<p>As I sat to write this week&#8217;s weekend wrap, I was reminded of something I said to <a href="http://bigredtomatocompany.co.uk/2010/06/launched-yesterday/" target="_blank">Matthew Needham</a> about how time speeds up when you have children. The fact that Give A Brick is a little bit like my baby (who am I kidding, &#8216;a little bit like&#8217;?!) the speed that this week has gone shouldn&#8217;t really be a surprise then.</p>
<p>But it is. And so here you have another weekend wrap and me, feeling a little blown away that it&#8217;s July already.</p>
<p>Monday was a bit of a cheating quick post. I was just using <a href="http://www.giveabrick.com/celebrating-with-our-friends-6aliens-southrngurl6489/">Monday&#8217;s Celebration post</a> to give some link love to two great Give A Brick friends, <a href="http://thebenlumley.com/" target="_blank">Ben Lumley</a> and <a href="http://www.gurls-asylum.us/200th-post-celebration-give-away/" target="_blank">Jennifer Jinright</a>. And would you believe it, after having joked about Matthew&#8217;s son making an appearance, he only went and did. <a href="http://www.6aliens.com/2010/07/fridays-virtual-business-lifestyle-homework/" target="_blank">Ben took credit for that one</a> but go back, <a href="http://www.giveabrick.com/celebrating-with-our-friends-6aliens-southrngurl6489/">read the post</a>, you&#8217;ll see it was actually me. <img src='http://www.giveabrick.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Wednesday brought you my first ever business video. Business 101 Give A Brick style <img src='http://www.giveabrick.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  I can say no more than that. You&#8217;ll have to check out the post to see for yourself: <a href="http://www.giveabrick.com/rock-your-world/">How to rock your world in 3 easy steps.</a> And then of course, who could forget our lovely <a href="http://www.giveabrick.com/friday-friend-aussie-sire/">Sire and his Friday Friend interview</a>? If you missed that, be sure to check it out. It&#8217;s great <img src='http://www.giveabrick.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>And that&#8217;s your lot from Give A Brick for this week. Be sure to have yourself a wonderful weekend but first tell me, what did you enjoy reading this week? Let&#8217;s talk about it in the comments.</p>
<p>Oooh, and a <a href="http://www.ameaningfulexistence.com/2010/07/01/happy-canada-day/" target="_blank">belated Happy Canada day to all our Canadian friends</a> whilst to all our American friends, have a wonderful July 4th. Was it your birthday this week? Did I miss anything out? Tell me <img src='http://www.giveabrick.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
