"I'm calling about that green campaign."

Want to see what has been consuming my work life since December?

Watch the video. Seriously! It has Ty in it. That kid is so freakin' cute it's unbelievable. You'll see why we try and put him on a ridiculous amount of promo stuff. You can't say no to that face. And if you watch it and you're wondering what he says at the very beginning it's "Lightening McQueen". That's his hero and he met him in Disney World a few weeks ago.

Life will be very very very busy for me this month. I'm at a mall today from 3:30 to 9 for the campaign. I'm in Portage La Prairie Thursday. At another location all day Friday and the same one again Monday. I'm at the Health Sciences Centre on Tuesday. We are the charity of choice at the Old Timers Hockey game on Tuesday night so I'll be there too (as will all the staff). Then at the end of the month I have Amandas social and I'm at World of Wheels at our booth selling raffle tickets for some pretty kick ass kids cars. So yeah....busy.

So blogging will probably take a back seat to life right now. But we'll see.

In other news, I have a new laptop. YAY! We got it at the price of a song. It was an open box sale meaning someone bought, didn't like it, brought it back. Nothing was wrong with it other than the battery never got returned with the computer. Not sure how that happened. Anyway, It's a Sony Vaio that normally costs between 500 and 800 bucks. We got it for 250 due to it missing the battery and that it was a returned item. The battery was $100. So bringing the price up to 350. Our budget for my laptop was between $700 and $1000. I was even considering a tablet PC at one point for $1200. But I'm more than happy with my choice. Plus the battery arrived today which was awesome. Though it's not like I couldn't use it without it, I just perfer to use it in the kitchen on battery power more than anything. Yes, I use my laptop in the kitchen. Rather than wasting paper and printing out a recipe I read it off the screen. Yay for a new laptop. Though I'm having to learn vista which makes me grumpy.

I have to be at work in an hour so I'm going to go find some lunch. I like having the morning off. It's nice.
