Santa & Macy’s Team Together
Sometimes companies really do get it right, and Macy’s certainly has this year. They have teamed up with Santa and the Make-A-Wish Foundation this Christmas. At all Macy’s stores, there will be a special mailbox for your kids to drop off their letters to Santa. For every letter collected, Macy’s will donate $1 to Make-A-Wish Foundation up to $1 million dollars. My cousin was given a wish from the Make-A-Wish, so I truly do understand what a difference this charity can make in someones life. This is such a good cause that I hope you all write letters this year, so such a good charity can benefit!
I love Sony!
Seriously, I love Sony. You all may remember that I received a Sony Cybershot camera in April. However, when I went to Izeafest in September, my camera was dead. I thought it was the battery. However, it was not. Instead, I ended up contacting Sony about getting it fixed. All I can say is that their customer service team rocks. They were able to send me a label, and I sent my camera back. In a little less than two weeks, I had my camera back working good as new. They also able to help me when I lost the cables that connect the camera to the computer. Since my Cybershot saves to the hard drive first, I need this cable. They were able to send me one. This kind of customer service makes me want to buy more products like a Sony Vaio the next time I have to buy a new laptop (which should be about a year since that is about as long as my laptops last).
Do you know of any companies out there that have given you excellent customer service?
Izeafest: Night 3 – IzeaHunt
I would like to say that I was sober for the entire time I was at Izeafest. I ended up as the driver 2 out of the 3 nights, and I really don’t believe in drunk driving. That being said I did do the IzeaHunt without anything alcohol in me. We had to do a ton of wild and crazy things. What was at stake? A $100 gift card for Home Depot for all of us. When money is on the line, well, you do crazy things. Honestly I wish I would have brought some other outdoor clothing with. My clothes were almost destroyed from this scavenger hunt. It took several washings once I got home to get the shaving cream and chocolate sauce out!
For some reason, I cannot find my team photos on Flickr at all. What I will do is show you some of the other teams instead. You will see how crazy this really did get:
Ohh I take that back, I did find one and you can’t see me (yeah! — I’m in the blue shirt):
Ok, we had to do crazy things like take a picture with a 6’5″ person, make a human sundae, get pineapple and a potato, walk somebody else’s dog, etc. There was 4 pages of things, and we only had about an hour to try and do as much as we could. One of the more crazy things we had to do was find a toilet seat and bring it back. I think Ted was the only one who was able to do that! Unfortunately, my team did not win. However, it was still a ton of fun!
After the hunt was over, we all took a break, sat down, talked, and ate some great food. I was able to sit down and talk to Cass and Sean Jackson. It was hard to believe that I was going to be hopping on a plane the next morning and heading back home (what I didn’t know at this time was that Chicago had gotten record levels of rain and my yard was literally a swimming pool. The water in my yard was up to my knees!). We were able to compare notes and just enjoy ourselves.
