I Won Something!!

Can you believe it? I won a Flip video camera last week from the awesome ladies over at Ooh La La Mama!! They have an online store with really cool baby clothes that I hope you'll check out the next time you need to buy a present for that friend who is totally bitchin'. Too bitchin' for BabyGap or Marshall's (c'mon, admit it, that's where you usually end up getting the goods, right?). In fact, I kinda wish they had their designs in adult sizes, some of them are so excellent. --Think Ed Hardy for babies.--

Anyhow, Macs can be problematic with video gear (and don't let any quote-unquote genius tell you otherwise) so I had a few issues getting the flip to download it's video content straight to YouTube, like I was supposed to. (I haven't given up on it, yet, but to be timely with this post I turned to my trusty Roxio Toast to make the conversion happen. What I'm trying to really say is that I'm not sure that this video is indicative of the quality level that the flip can shoot.) So, to say thanks to Cindy, at Ooh La La Mama (you can follow her, too, @cindyoohlala on twitter - which is where I found out about the contest) here is a video I took with the flip of The Animal. He asked me to video him doing a pratfall. Little fella is going straight for the heart strings with request like that! :))

  3. Oooh Congrats! What a cool freakin prize! I have to say that I was just a Marshalls today. I knew we would get along just fine! How I long for a video camera. We can shoot video on our camera, but it takes up all the memory. Have a blast with your new prize!

  9. Aha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! "Darn it!" Aha ha ha!

    OMG! You know what I won last year on Mother's Day? OMG you are going to freak out! I won a trip to Spain! A 7-night, 8-day trip to Spain all expense paid! I got it from Club Astoria as a Mother's Day gift!

    Now you are going to freak out even more...I didn't go! Ha!

    No, it's not that I didn't want to go...it's just all those freakin' things that pop up out of nowhere and don't let you go anywhere, popped out of nowhere, and didn't let me go anywhere!

    I'd rather have won what you won! Sheesh! At least I could have used it! Ugh!

  12. Okay I was appropriately green with jealousy over Amy's new toy, but Charity C-G, can I just say WWWWTTTTTFFFF? I'm not hating, I'm just bewildered and awed. Everything went white for a moment when I read that...didn't go...didn't go to...didn't go to Spain?
