Free Nintendo DSi

August 13th, 2009 · 3 Comments

Last month Nintendo had a dinner for all of the Nintendo Enthusiasts who were attending the BlogHer conference. I wasn’t at the conference, but since it was local, I was still invited to the dinner. I was able to bring one person with me and didn’t think that Dallas would appreciate all of the blogging ladies, so I brought Jess.

We went over to the Sheraton, where BlogHer was being held. From there we were taken in horse-drawn carriages up Michigan Avenue to the Hancock Building.

At the Hancock, we were taken up to the Signature Room for hors d’vours and wine. Lots of wine.

Then we all sat down for dinner and more wine.

After dinner we all got surprise gifts: Nintendo DSi!

Had a great time at the party. This Nintendo program has been awesome. Remember the Nintendo DS Lite party and the Nintendo WII party and giveaway? How could this all not be a blast!?

New Orleans Randomness

June 6th, 2008 · No Comments

While archiving older photos I came across these that I’d taken in New Orleans and never posted. Kind of a random assortment of photographs.

The Chewable Toothbrush


Saw these in the New Orleans airport. Has anyone tried them?


Secret public bathroom is by this courtyard at the French Quarter Visitor Center.


Ahem. Three years ago Sam proclaimed the correct word to be vagitarian.

Reminded me of Lolcats. (sorry for the crappy cell photo)

On Monday after breakfast & before my parents caught a cab to go to the airport, we went on a horse-drawn carriage ride through Central Park. The park was gorgeous. Bright sun, warm temperature, and colorful foliage. I have plenty more photos of Central Park from this weekend, I just need to get through them all. Expect more photos soon.
