Just wanted to write a quick note so you don’t think I abandoned my blog again. I am leaving tomorrow with a friend for the all-inclusive trip to Barbados that I won in a contest from the Long Island Press last year. I decided to take a true vacation (which I so desperately need) and…
This is the second post in the Flashback Friday category I started last week. In case you missed it, last week’s topic was TWITTER. This week’s topic is….Dave Matthews Band! Below are some previous blog posts about Dave Matthews Band (in no particular order): Two Fabulous Nights of DMB at Jones Beach – 7/23/09 – A…
Just a quick note to bring attention to my new contact page. I have purchased a developer license from Gravity Forms and will be using them on all future sites I develop. It is a WordPress plugin that allows you to create complex contact forms with ease. My current contact form is hardly complex, but the…
I’ve been writing this blog since 2004, and there are lots of older posts that don’t get much love, because no one knows about them! So….I made a new category: Flashback Friday. Starting today and every Friday from now on, I’ll be featuring a group of older posts about a specific topic. For the inaugural…
No no no…not to each other. To other people! Who would have thunk it. Jessica Simpson has announced her engagement to retired Pro-NFL Player Eric Johnson….a week after her ex-husband, Nick Lachey announces his engagement to long time love Vanessa Minnillo. Way to steal Vanessa’s thunder, Jessica. Geez. I guess it’s karma. After all, Nick…
I am an extremely loyal consumer, and when I see companies using social media to reach out to their customers, it makes me like them even more. One company who has impressed me with their use of Twitter is GoDaddy. I have hosted Basically Becky through GoDaddy.com since my site’s inception in June 2009. I had heard…
Have you ever gotten lost in a cell phone dead-zone? I have, many times, and it isn’t fun! When you need help and are out of reach it can be really scary. Luckily, there is help for avid campers, hikers and outdoor adventurers who are often off the cell grid. The SPOT Satellite GPS messenger provides a vital line of communication with friends and family when you want it, and emergency assistance when you need it.
If you haven’t noticed already, my site has been changed up just a bit. My site was built using Headway, a customizable theme for WordPress. The old Headway, version 1.6 was great….but the new Headway, version 2.0 is FANTASTIC! I still have lots to update, including my Twitter Backgrounds and Portfolio pages. Instead of having…

NOTE: If you don’t want to know key aspects of the film (i.e. SPOILERS), you probably shouldn’t read this post. What happens when you die? Do the lights just fade to black, or is there something else? I went to see the new movie ‘Hereafter’ on opening day with my Dad. I was really looking forward to…
Hi Readers! Just wanted to write a quick post since I haven’t written anything in a while. I am visiting my Dad in California this week. It has been raining since I arrived…it seems as if every time I visit, the sun goes into hiding. According to the 10-day forecast, it will be sunny again…
NOTE: If you don’t want to know key aspects of the film (i.e. SPOILERS), you probably shouldn’t read this post. I decided to skip the opening weekend crowds and see The Social Network on a Monday afternoon. The theater was empty at first but soon filled up with all kinds of people – young ones playing on…
According to this article on RadarOnline.com, Britney Spears was photographed in Los Angeles with 3 new body art additions. It is reported that they are butterflies, but if you ask me, that’s a Twitter bird in the middle! She has been using Twitter more often. But even I wouldn’t get a Twitter bird on my…
Sorry I haven’t blogged in a while…had a bunch of things happen all at once. My car got hit when it was parked on the road (when I was visiting my Dad in California), so I’ve been dealing with insurance and the auto body shop and all that stuff (picked it up today and it…

I am on the ABC.com mailing list and occasionally get e-mails about new shows and specials sent to me. A few days ago, I was offered a sneak preview of the first episode of the new ABC drama ‘No Ordinary Family’. The show revolves around an “ordinary family” that consists of Stephanie Powell, research…
