First registry

Chris and I went with Emily to Bed Bath & Beyond today to start our first wedding registry. Emily had been wanting to bring us there since she started working at BBB six or seven months ago. After four and a half hours, we had fourteen pages of items in our registry, and we think we may need to go back for more. During the first couple of hours, we had a detailed tour of the housewares from Emily. But after our "midway," we just couldn’t take it any more. Our scanner batteries had run low three times, we were tired, and we hadn’t had anything to eat or drink since Bennigan’s at noon. We rushed the last couple of hours, so we might have to look at the bed, bath, and other miscellaneous things a little more closely.

If you’d like to take a peek at our registry, just go to the Bed Bath & Beyond Bridal & Gift Registry website and search for either Christina Butzen or Mark Ordonez and you’ll find a link to our registry. As soon as we start registries at other places, we’ll post them here so you can find out. We are currently planning to also register at Target, Sears, and Amazon.com. We’ll keep you posted.

New look

So, as I’m browsing the WASTE network to which I belong, I saw ringtones for my Motorola i720 phone. Unfortunately, I do not have the computer connection kit for the phone, so I cannot just copy the ringtones to the phone via a USB cable :-( Continue reading ‘Motorola i720 Ringtones’

Another Taste of Chicago

We went to the Taste of Chicago on July 3rd, which happens to be the busiest day of the year for Chicago-area public transportation. The short spurts of rain weren’t too much of a bother, compared to the torrential rains on July 3rd of 1998 that lead to the destruction of my cell phone. The rain actually helped cool the weather (temporarily) and disperse the many other people visiting the Taste with Brad, Chris, and me.
