Shortly before departing for Mom 2.0 I had received a new laptop as an early birthday gift from my mother. Sure it took some getting used to as this was my first foray into the Land of Mac. As an only child, I don’t have any siblings to turn to for advice, so I am so grateful my cyber sisters answered my questions, gave me wonderful suggestions, provided tutorial via Facebook chat and even announced to Twitter I had finally made the switch.
But even so, I had one distraction when I used my new computer, the place where one rests the wrists while typing is made of metal, and it can be a chilling experience. Cold wrists were a distraction. I began searching for a way to cover the metal so my user experience would be warmer. I struck out quickly. Most of the options didn’t have positive reviews, so I resigned myself to the fact I would, from time to time, have to deal with the minimal discomfort.
A couple of weeks later I packed my Mac, and my foster camera, Murray, and headed to Houston for the Mom 2.0 Summit.
Upon registration I picked up my Swag Bag with Sarah and Laurie. The conference organizers had previously announced they were dubbing the conference “Swag Lite” and that was just fine with me. I don’t attend conferences for the swag, I attend for the content and the conversation. So while we were hanging outside poolside, and enjoying the fact we saw no snow, I started looking through the bag.
And I got happy. Really happy. I held up an item I had found in the bag and exclaimed, “AWESOME! A wrist cozy!” The word “lunatic” may have danced in their heads for a moment, but they both responded to me by handing over their own Wii Fit Plus wristbands, “Now you’ll have yourself a pair, and an extra.”
Can a girl have better friends? I think not.
