Tweet I just realized that I haven’t written anything since the plane ride here. Pretty much been busy since I arrived, helping Dad clean out Mom’s closet and look for a new place to live. Dad doesn’t want to stay in this house anymore (I don’t blame him) since everything reminds him of Mom. The…
Tweet Hi readers! I am currently on a flight headed for California to visit my Dad. I am writing this post at an altitude of 35,000 feet. How is that possible? It is because Virgin America is the BEST airline EVER. I was a Virgin virgin but I don’t think I could possibly fly another airline…
Tweet What to do when you forget your book? Around the room I look and look. Fashion horrors all around Band-aids on fingers are abound. News 12 on the big screen Local commercials loud they scream. Sitting next to guy playing with his beard He has these odd glasses on, very weird. My appointment was…
Tweet A few hours ago, my landlord, Jenn, texted me: “OMG dead kitten in front of house.” Being a cat lover, I immediately threw on my shoes and ran outside to see what happened. A truck had stopped (not the one that hit it) and the lights were hitting it. It was sitting straight up…

Here is an excerpt from their site that explains exactly what it’s about: SomethingStore is a fun website that operates simply: We will send you something, an item selected randomly among many things from our inventory, for $10 (free shipping in the US) and…
Tweet There is this guy. We’ll call him…“Joe.” Joe is a drug addict. Joe is the person that gave Harry the super-strong pills that eventually killed him. He then had the balls to call me and ask for them back. Joe is also a felon of some sort, I’m not sure of the details. Anyway,…

Tweet It’s been over a month since I last wrote on this blog. I just didn’t know what to write. A month ago today, July 5th, my Mom, Kathi Kopprasch, passed away suddenly from a massive heart attack. She was 58. She was always so full of life, even having a 4th of July party…
I was so honored to be asked to be a guest on the Striker Corbin Motivational Program on BlogTalkRadio.com. In the hour that we had, we spoke about the Save Becky story which led to how I first got involved with Social Media. We discussed Facebook, Twitter and how they work together and I also gave some tips for people tweeting for the first time as a business or on your own page. If you missed the show, you can listen to it in it’s entirety below.
Tweet Wow, I can’t believe how time flies! I just realized that I haven’t blogged in almost a month. I usually take little breaks, but I don’t think I’ve ever taken that long a break. I’ve been working on some new websites for clients, and that has been taking up most of my time. …
Tweet Today is National No-Phone Day. The statistics show that nearly 6,000 people died in 2008 in crashes involving a distracted driver and more than a half-million were injured. I will admit it. I used to text and drive. I don’t do it anymore. Especially after watching Oprah’s show today: So, take the pledge….
Tweet Yesterday, I took Emily to the movies to see How To Train Your Dragon. I really wanted to see Date Night, but Emily wanted to see this so we went. The theater was surprisingly packed considering how nice it was out. The movie was great. Really great. It would have been more great if…

Tweet There is this thing….it is an unwritten rule of law between women. If one girl is interested in a guy, no other friends are to approach him, talk to him, make a move on him, etc. Most respectable women abide by this cardinal rule. Others, just simply don’t seem to care. It wasn’t until…
Tweet First, I would like to thank all my readers for being patient in my absence lately. Sometimes I think no one even reads what I write, but then someone mentioned that they really missed reading new posts, and I realized that I need to update more often. Lately, it just seems like it’s been…
Tweet This is the day I have been dreading. I saw it on the calendar coming up and cringed. A year ago today, January 22, 2009, my boyfriend of 3+ years, Harry passed away. All day today, I’ve been reliving the events of January 22, 2009 in my head. Fighting with him in the…
Tweet I am writing this blog post at an altitude of 15,000 feet. Although I have no wi-fi, it’s still nice to whip out the laptop for something to do. I am on a Southwest Boeing 737 on my way to Las Vegas. Although it would be really fun to spend a night there,…
Tweet I didn’t make any New Year’s resolutions this year. Primarily because I know myself and know that not once in my life have I ever kept one. I’ve always had good intentions though, at least for the first few days. I did make a secret resolution this year…you know, in my head. This doesn’t…
Tweet It’s been a crazy year and although a *few* good things happened, I am more than happy to say goodbye to 2009. In no particular order, here are 25 things that I did this year: Suddenly lost the love of my life & best friend Met thousands of new friends Said a eulogy Got…
Tweet Gracie and I would like to wish all the readers of Basically Becky the very happiest of holidays! We hope all your Christmas / Hanukkah / Kwanzaa wishes came true and you are now taking an egg-nog induced nap on top of all the piles of torn wrapping paper. Ho Ho Ho!
Tweet I went to a new doctor yesterday. They gave me all the typical forms to fill out. Everything was fine until I got to the “Emergency Contact” section. It was at that point, that I realized, I no longer have an emergency contact. Until 2005, it was my Mom. Then, I moved in with…
