Need I say more?

Yes, things have been a bit crazy and we've just not MADE the time to take pictures!!!

My dream car at the Internet Retailer Conference

Ok, ok... I know it's been a while. I've been busy traveling to Chicago (went to the Internet Retailer Conference). And then I got sick. Yeah, a real bad cold. What?! You don't think stuffed Wally's can get sick? Oh boy we can. Just imagine how stuffed up I feel with a cold!

Anyway, at the Internet Retailer Conference I found the car of my dreams. Here's the car, with a picture of ME in it! Damn I look good.

Does anyone care anymore?!?

I'm here today with Jeremy and he's trying to explain how Coremetrics works....but all I really want to know is WHERE is the cool picture of me that Matt Douglas took when I went to Chicago!!? I'm feeling left out...like everyone has forgotten me....Mary told me that Matt will eventually get the picture on the blog....

BTW - Jeremy is pretty smart with Coremetrics AND he also produced and directed our eCard video. How cool was that?!!!!

Weddings and Wally & Sarah!

Here I am with Sarah. She works in our Creative Department on our Wedding catalog and is ALWAYS looking for ways to talk about OTC's Party Central!!! Our wedding customers NEED this and Sarah makes sure that they know all about it. Thanks Sarah!!!

Lake Tahoe...here I come...

Hello friends! I'm on my way to Lake Tahoe with Mary and some friends...so, you won't hear from me for awhile. I hope you all have a great Memorial Day weekend!!

Matt and me....another Matt, really!!!

This is Matt - he works on our email team and he's pretty excited about the email that we're creating here at OTC to talk about ALL of the services we have because of our relationship with Punchbowl. The email doesn't go out until the 13th of June - but it's going to be great!

Wally and Erica....hmmmmm.....

Not only is Erica our Party Supply Buyer....yes, she's a Yankee's Fan! She told her family (she had to get permission!) that she was having her picture taken with Wally....her youngest shared his Yankees hat and asked Mom to wear it for the photo. Sean and Matt have met Erica and I'm sure they'll attest to the fact that she's a pretty cool person .... and she buys OTC Party products .... gotta love her, right?!?!!!

She forgot ...no Call Center for me!

Sure - Mary goes to the Call Center to talk about about our relationship with Punchbowl...and she forgets me!!! She had me next to her papers and everything!

It was because she didn't have a child seat (it's a 15 minute drive) ... yeah right!! She said she told them about me....but, c'mon, you have to meet me in person, right? Maybe next time.....

Wally and Cally!

I'm spending some time with Cally today - she works on our website. Today she's working on some banners to promote the Party Planner - wonder if she'd invite me to her party?! ;)

Look - no Tags!!

OK - so my 'tag' is off (thanks to Uncle Matt for suggesting this - I feel much better now!) and I'm posing by the Punchbowl that's sitting on Mary's desk. It used to have Big League Chew in it...it's looking pretty sparse today.

Wally meets Boston Baxter

My first stop had to be at Garrick's desk here at Oriental Trading. He's a huge Sox fan and wanted me to take his picture with his new son...you got it...Boston. Isn't that the coolest name for a Red Sox fan?
