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….

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! :)

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

Boys winners

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…

Prince William Got Married, bin Laden Got What He Deserved and Other Happenings

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:

FIVE Days until MACs Women’s Summit…Get Your Ticket Now!

Introducing My New Site: Bannerize.me!

Bannerizeme home page

Tweet So, I haven’t been around much lately, not because I didn’t want to blog, but because I’ve been working on this little idea I had. Now that the new Facebook profile layout was announced, you can personalize your Facebook profile with a banner! I’ve been working hard over the past two weeks to launch…

Being Sick SUCKS

nausea_smiley

Tweet So, if you follow me on Twitter, you are aware by now that the past 4 days, I had the WORST stomach bug…EVER.  Not only was I nauseous and running to the bathroom (gross!), but also was fatigued and had a fever.  I got it from my landlord’s toddler…I went up to visit her…

Another Year Without Harry

Harry and Becky Wedding

Tweet Two years ago today, on January 22, 2009, my boyfriend of over 3 years, Harry, passed away.  Last year, I had a really hard time with this day, and this year isn’t much better.  I know he is still here with me.  He sends me signs all the time, usually in the form of…

More Significant Snow on the Way

CarTracedSnow

Tweet There is more snow on the way for Long Island. And it’s a significant amount. What does that mean exactly? Some meteorolgists say this means 6″+. Some say 8″+. Some say 10″+. Does that mean 24″ of snow we got during the Holiday Blizzard of 2010 is SUPER significant? What does a significant amount…

Getting in Shape with the XBOX Kinect!

kinect_11

Tweet After much thought and consideration, I decided to pool my birthday and Christmas money and purchase an XBOX Kinect bundle to add to my existing XBOX 360.  The bundle comes with one game, Kinect Adventures and I bought Dance Central to play on it as well.  I hadn’t played a game on the system in over…

Three Beautiful Nights in Barbados

The view from outside our room...like a postcard!

Tweet This post is long overdue, as the trip was a few weeks ago, but it feels like just yesterday that I was sipping on Rum Punch on the beach in Barbados. It was almost a year ago that I won the Long Island Press “It Pays to Tweet The Press” Contest.  The grand prize…

A Cold Has *Sneeze* Taken Over…

sick

Tweet I felt it coming on since I returned from Barbados.  I thought I could fight it by taking lots of Vitamin C and getting lots of rest.  This kept it at bay for about a week, but eventually, it won.  I am now laying in bed, surrounded by tissues and boxes of cold medication….

Rain, Rain…GO AWAY!

Heavy Downpour

Tweet 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…

Busy with a Little Heartbreak in Between

How's this for an attitude?

Tweet 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…

My Flight with a Hilton and a Greasy Bear

Nicky Hilton & Brandon Davis

Tweet As you all know, I’m pretty much OBSESSED with celebrities.  I write about them often here, and have met a few, back in my days of radio. When I arrived at LAX last week, I looked all around for paparazzi, but was let down when none were waiting in baggage claim area.  How do…
