Tweet Today is my 31st birthday. A year ago today, I was working at a job I hated. After work, Harry threw me a party, complete with both our families and baked me a Funfetti cake. I had heard of Twitter, but had not yet joined. Had you asked me a year ago today…
Tweet Although I am in the wake of the worst year of my life this Thanksgiving, I still have a lot of things to be thankful for: My family. My parents are on the other side of the country but I talk to my Mom more now then I did when she lived a few miles…
Tweet Is Kate Moss kidding? Somebody needs to go shove some cheeseburgers down the skinny bitch’s throat. I bet she’d like them. I saw this quote and it just pissed me off. I went to the doctor last week and was weighed for the first time in a while. I was appalled. I will not…
Tweet For the past few weeks, I have been involved in planning the #LITweetup Helps! Food Drive. After just a few short weeks, myself and a great group of 4 other people planned a series of 3 events to benefit Island Harvest. It feels so good to help others, especially during this time of year….
Tweet I am honored to have been asked to be on the Organizing Committee for LITweetup Helps!, a 3-day food drive event for Island Harvest – Long Island’s leading hunger relief organization! I am all for tweetups. And I am all for charity. So why not put the two together? @theshoedawg came up with the…
Tweet Sorry I haven’t been posting any blogs lately. I’ve had a lot going on the past couple weeks: a new client, some freelance design work, doctors appointments, Yankees in the playoffs, etc. Just wanted to check in and let you know that all is well and I haven’t forgotten about my blog. I haven’t…
Tweet For those of you that have followed my blog for a while might remember in March when I went to get a tattoo on my wrist as a tribute to Harry. I had “designed” it myself, although it was quite simple: a big bold “lmL” with the words “Forever in my heart 8.11.76-1.22.09″ underneath…
Tweet I went out to lunch on Thursday with a guy, my first “date” since Harry passed away. It just made me realize how much I miss him and how we were perfect together. I was not looking to be dating yet, but was contacted via Facebook by this guy who I had gone to…
Tweet Last week, as fall weather started to kick in, I put away the flip-flops and broke out the closed-toed shoes. I wondered why they all were a little tight, but thought, I had gained weight since last year, so maybe it went to my feet? A few days later, it got worse. I could…
Tweet You’ve all seen the commercials. They will send you an envelope for you to send back your gold jewelry and you will get a check back for them! Sounds too good to be true. And according to reports, it is! First of all, why would anyone send expensive jewelry via UPS with insurance of…
Tweet I know this is Wordless Wednesday and all, but I needed to get this off my chest. I have had MetLife Dental for over a year now. I pay approximately $20/month through COBRA for coverage. Since I signed up last June, I have only used a dental service three times. The first time I…
Tweet I had decided last week that I wanted to do something different with my hair. I hadn’t colored it in about 2 years and I needed a cut. Being the frugal one I have become lately, I went to Lemon Tree instead of going to a salon that would charge more than I could…
Tweet I was debating on whether to speak about this on my blog, but since everything else in my life is talked about on here, I might as well not hold anything back. I am filing for bankruptcy. The paperwork is in motion and I hope to have everything filed in a few weeks. Why…
Tweet I have a severe case of blogger’s block. I’m sure if I sat here long enough, something would appear, but would it be of the quality that I would like? Probably not. I made a vow for August that I would write one blog per day, but then my computer crashed and I was…
Tweet I attended my second #LITweetup last night. It was held at Croxley Ales in Farmingdale. It is so nice to be in the company of other twaddicts. Every person had some sort of wireless device in front of them, whether it be laptop, netbook, Blackberry or iPhone. There were several videos taken by tweeps…
Tweet I haven’t been able to blog or tweet too much the past 2 days. Yesterday afternoon, I got a horrible phone call. It was a paramedic but he was on a cell phone and the phone was breaking up. All I could hear was “This is Bob from the *static* Fire Department. We have…
Tweet One could say that I am celebrity obsessed. I read all the magazines. I peruse all the gossip sites. I watch all the shows. This obsession with celebrity began early. There was that time that I was 12 and was in the Caribbean on vacation with my parents and I saw Jason Priestley. If…
Tweet Harry’s birthday was yesterday. He would have been 33. Since he’s passed away, I’ve made it through Valentine’s Day and July 4th. Independence day was hard for me since that was always our time of the year to have a vacation alone. I pretty much curled myself in a ball & didn’t get…
Tweet After 5 long days without my Macbook, I am back. It was absolute torture. In the middle of posting a blog on Friday, August 7th, my screen froze. I thought nothing of it and rebooted the computer, hoping that it had saved a draft of the post. When I turned the computer back on,…
Tweet I just checked my Google Analytics account and Basically Becky has had 1,142 hits since it’s inception on May 25, 2009! That is only 2 months. I can’t believe it! There have only been 816 unique visitors which means some of you came back. I’m honored:) The visitors are from 34 countries. THIRTY FOUR. …
Tweet I found this on Perez Hilton’s page. It is the wedding entrance of Minnesota couple Jill Peterson and Kevin Hines. They obviously have quite the sense of humor and I LOVE IT. Especially the sunglasses. This is totally something that Harry and I would have done at our wedding. I hope that my future…
