2011: Year in Review

new year 2012

Tweet So, months have passed since my last blog post. I know…I call myself a “blogger” and don’t blog. One of my New Year’s resolutions (I swear!) is to get back to writing again. It always made me feel better and I’m not sure why I stopped. 2011 has been a bittersweet year for me….

Coverize.me offers only the BEST Free Facebook Covers!

Tweet Hey everyone! Just wanted to let you know that one of my pet projects, Bannerize.me, will soon be phased out due to the upcoming Facebook profile changes. I decided that instead of letting all that hard work go to waste, I would send all current Bannerize.me users to a new site, Coverize.me.  There are hundreds…

10 Years. Never Forget 9/11.

Tweet 10 years ago this morning, around 8:50am, I was bringing the daily commercial logs into the 102.3 WBAB studio and saw the first tower on fire on the TV. They thought it was a small plane that just had an unfortunate accident. I stayed in the studio watching the tower with smoke billowing out…

Where’s Becky?

All is well with me, just super-busy for the last two months. Spending lots of time writing blogs and Facebook updates for clients, no time for my own! Just wanted to let you all know that I’m alive, just haven’t had time to post anything significant on here. I do post on Twitter at least once a day, so if you miss me, make sure to connect with me on there! :)

How Did I Ever Survive Without Spotify?

I am TOTALLY geeking out this week. Really, more than normal. First, there is Google+ which is taking up all of my free time. Then comes Spotify, which basically makes pretty much every song ever recorded 15 million songs available to stream on demand on your computer. For FREE!!! Since getting my account, it has taken my 3,500 song iTunes library and multiplied it by…a lot.

HOW TO: Transfer your Facebook Friend List To Google+ Using Yahoo Mail

Tweet NOTE: Facebook isn’t happy about this workaround and is trying to put a stop to it. I’ve heard it still works for some but not for everyone. Since the recent launch of Google+, Facebook has frantically shut down any Google Chrome extension or tool that allows you to retrieve your friend’s email addresses. They…

Independence Day 2011: One Year Without My Mom

Tweet July 4th was always my Mom’s favorite holiday. I have childhood memories of sparklers and BBQ’s and summertime fun every 4th of July. Last year was the first year I didn’t see her on her favorite day.  She and my Dad had moved across the country to Southern California in September 2009, after years…

Rain or Shine, the Smithtown Community Bands Together

Tweet Here is a brief excerpt from my latest Patch blog: I spent much of my free time in the beginning of May walking laps around my neighborhood in preparation for the Nesconset 5K on May 15th. Not only was this race important to me for exercise (which, let’s face it, I NEED) but also…

Lost Photos in the Move…

Tweet Hey everyone! Just switched servers and even though I backed up the files THREE times, apparently, all three times, it missed the 2010 and 2011 photo uploads folder. I have backups of the original files on my computer, but it will take me a little while to re-upload them all. So….if you look at…

The Affects Of The Main Street Pedestrian Accidents On The People Left Behind

Seamus Byrne

Tweet Here is a brief excerpt from my latest Patch blog: The Smithtown Patch headline “BREAKING: Two Young Girls Hit by Car on Main Street” grabbed my attention immediately, not only because it involved children being hurt, but at that exact moment, I was just finishing up an email helping to organize a fundraiser for…

Tweet Hey everyone! Long time no blog on here and I’m sorry. There are just not enough hours in the day, seriously. I have good intentions when I say I will post regularly, but life just seems to get in the way every time! My last post three weeks ago was written the day after…

Dreams Do Come True: I Met Dave Matthews!!!

becky and dave

This past Wednesday evening, April 13th, 2011, something happened. Something big. HUGE. I met DAVE MATTHEWS! That’s right, THE Dave Matthews. Lead singer of Dave Matthews Band. The man. The legend. The moment I had dreamed of for so long actually happened. Of course, in Becky fashion, the whole experience was not without craziness. Here’s the whole story:

My Two Cents on TLC’s Extreme Couponing

images-1

For the past few weeks, TLC has been heavily promoting the season premiere of Extreme Couponing and the commercials really peaked my interest. I thought, maybe I’d learn a thing or two about clipping coupons. So, this week, I tuned in to Extreme Couponing and live-tweeted while the episode was on. Since it was hard to get my feelings across in 140 character bits, I thought I would write a post full explaining my thoughts. If you aren’t familiar with the show, each episode documents several “couponers” from obtaining the coupons all the way to the checkout line at the grocery store.

Who You Callin’ Lohan? Lindsay Drops Her Last Name

Lindsay-Lohan-wants-baby

Tweet According to Us Weekly, Lindsay Lohan has decided to follow in the footsteps of stars like Cher, Madonna and Beyonce and just go by Lindsay. That’s right. No Lohan. Just LINDSAY. She IS the most famous Lindsay in the world, however I would say she is more infamous for her failures than famous for…

Dancing with the Stars Season 12 Cast

Tweet The new cast of Dancing with the Stars has been announced, and they have managed to shock us again! For Season 12, there will be 11 contestants as opposed to the normal 12.  They never addressed that but I am assuming someone dropped out at the last minute. The Dancing with the Stars Season…
