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….
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…
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…
Tweet Harry was OBSESSED with the number 333. He would call me or text me when it was 3:33pm and always saw 333 everywhere. Serial numbers, house numbers, if he came across a number, it most likely had 333 in it. It happened so much during our relationship that it was a little freaky. Just…
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 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 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 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 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 This blog post has been long overdue. My apologies. A lot has happened since my last post. Well there were two major happenings. My parents’ new puppy, Cali and my new apartment! Now I hope you understand why I haven’t written. I’ve been very busy! A new chapter for the folks : Cali I…
Tweet Last Wednesday night, I attended the wake for the mother of two of my co-workers (brothers). Being at a funeral home again, that smell of the flowers, just the whole thing was really hard. It reminded me again that life is so precious. I only stayed for a little bit and headed for the…
Tweet Sorry, I have been so quiet lately. Well, I HAVE been tweeting, so I added a Twitter widget adjacent to my main blog page for those of you tweeps not on Twitter yet. If you haven’t joined, you MUST. I have met so many wonderful people on there from around the world. www.SaveBecky.com has…
Tweet Save Becky has become a world-wide sensation. Since it’s inception on Sunday, Feb 8th, it’s had over 2,500 hits from 10 different countries: United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, Austria, Singapore, Costa Rica, Germany, Trinidad and Tobago and Argentina. Apparently, the word is spreading, and I have received e-mails from all walks of life. …
Tweet Tonight, I went out with my little valentine, Emily. We went to the Outback with her mom, Stephanie and then went back to their apartment and played on her Wii. I was a Wii virgin until today and I must say I did rather good. We played “Carnival Games”, and I popped two balloons…
Tweet It’s almost been 3 weeks. Tomorrow. It really feels like a blur. I went back there last night and cleaned out our junk drawers. For 3 years, I don’t know if anything has ever come out of there, but it’s amazing how many things I found that have gone in: 2 different size light…
Tweet So, apparently, Facebook and Twitter are good promotional tools for a website. I received a lot of e-mails today, most good, some not so good. I guess that’s expected. If you don’t want to donate money, then don’t, but you don’t have to send me a nasty e-mail. My mother always taught me that…
Tweet Hi Everyone. If you are here, that means hopefully you have read my story. The past year has been a roller coaster of emotions, each horrible occurrence unknowingly making me a stronger person. The loss of Harry on January 22nd literally changed my life and I haven’t known how to deal with it. I’ve…
