Oovoo

Hi again!

All right, so I got through all the Oovoo set-up, and it's really pretty straightforward.

Go to www.oovoo.com and click on "Get Oovoo".

Follow the prompts to download the program.  It only took me a couple of minutes until it was ready.

Fill out the form to make your username and password.  Go through their prompts.

Once you're all set up, look for me as a friend/contact under "ellenkrasin".

If you'd like to test run with me before the shower, let me know, and we'll give it a go!

Thanks!

Time for a game: Baby Animal Names

One of the challenges of a virtual baby shower is that it makes it a lot harder to play games, but we'll have a few here this week that hopefully we can have some fun with!  And I know you have internet, but no cheating by Googling the answers!  ;)

Baby Animals

AKA Who's Your Mama?

I'll give you the term for a baby animal, and you try to name the type of animal that it is!  

For example:  Puppy = Dog!

Here we go!

1.  Bunny

2.  Fingerling

3.  Cria

4.  Infant

5.  Spat

6.  Kid

7.  Chick

8.  Cygnet

9.  Joey

10.  Tadpole

11.  Ephyna

12.  Porcupette

13.  Whelp

14.  Hatchling

15.  Puggle

I promise, I'm not making any of these up!  Good luck, and post your best guesses!  The answers will be posted on shower day!  :)  

Almost time for the shower! Which reminds me...the shower time...

Hi everyone!

Sorry that I didn't get this posted earlier, but for some reason, my connection on vacation wouldn't let me log into the blog!

Anyhow, the shower is THIS SATURDAY already, and I wanted to put out the time for everyone.  It will take place at 1:00 CA time, so 3:00 here in Chicagoland, and 4:00 for those of you in MI and eastern.

Please let me know if you will be swinging by my place to join in, and there is a Michigan gathering as well, so let me know if you would like to get in touch with that group and I'll arrange it.

Hopefully by tomorrow I will have all the Oovoo stuff worked out and set up so that you can test it out before the shower as well.

So excited to "party" with all of you!  :)
