The pictures are taken from my Blackberry. The stories are from my life. Here's my little way of remembering...
Finally A Press Event In Long Island
I GET why everything is always done in NYC. After all, it's MY fault my commute is so long. I'm the one who moved all the way out here.
BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT when I found out there was an event in GARDEN CITY - I almost died. I met up with a few blogger buddies and AJ Wright to talk about their store redesign and launch of a West Hempstead location and BOY did I have fun.
It took place in Novita, the same restaurant I had my son's christening! Talk about my neck of the woods. Everyone was complaining about how LONG the cab rides were. One girl was in the car for 3 hours - and I had a grin on from ear to ear. It took me about 3 minutes to get there.
Now they understand what I go through getting into the city during rush hour. Every event is usually around 5 or 5:30. The commute from where I live to NYC during rush hour is 1.5 hours at least. Not fun.
Best night ever. I have a gift card to giveaway and will do that in the coming weeks. My contest schedule is pretty booked at the moment. But stay tuned!
Off To Get An MRI
I'm not freaking out because my guess is the doctor is just being overly cautious. He was a bit concerned about the frequency of the migraines - but said not to worry just yet.
So, I've made an appt for next week for all the fun to begin. I know this will just end up with me filling out a prescription. So I truly am not scared.... well, maybe just a little.
Sesame Street Post Is Live
In case you are a fan of the show and are looking for a little more detail of my time on Sesame Street - story is live.
Off To Finally Fix These Migraine Headaches
I'm not sure what took me so long to actually do something about these TERRIBLE migraine headaches I ALWAYS get - but today is the day I have a doctor's appt.
They've become crippling. It's awful!
If I leave my house, I basically get one. So either I am becoming agoraphobic, am constantly dehydrated, or something is wrong with my head... all are quite possible.
:)
The doc was called when OTC pills no longer worked on me. In one day, I think I took about 6 pills (2 of whatever I had) in a few hours and it changed nothing.
Time for a prescription.
Hopefully, this will be short and sweet.
My First Sudoko Puzzle Completed
I could cry how excited I am about this!
I always wanted to get into Sudoko, but didn't understand how to really work it. I thought it was more about guessing than actually thinking things through. I finally sat down this week and decided enough was enough! I was ready to understand.
Yesterday was the first time I actually got through the whole thing and completely understood the game. It took a few days, but now I am totally addicted. I can't wait to try today's version!!
The daily crossword and Sudoko are officially my after dinner treat. Well, that and a Devil Dog...
