96th New Thing - Submitted an Article to Newspaper

I recently read an article in the Denver Post about a something-year-old new-CO-resident that challenged herself to workout everyday for one year and blog about it. I thought to myself, hey that sounds familiar, it sounds like my challenge to myself. I decide to write to this blogger to see how the Denver Post heard about her blog. She stated that she wrote them back in October or November. Apparently, it took them a few months to publish the article. Therefore, I decided to do the same. Why shouldn't I put myself out there to try to get published? I went to DenverPost.com to find some email addresses. Here's what I wrote:

"I recently read Kristen Browning-Blas's article "365 Days of Sweat project helps keep her motivated" in the Fitness section, posted on January 9, 2012. The article was about Betsy Salzler's challenge to do 365 new workouts for a year. I have a similar story. In October 2010, I decided to challenge myself to 365 of new things. I do 1 new thing each day and challenged myself to do this for 365 days. Then I blog about it, check it out here, http://patriciabuwen.blogspot.com/. The new thing could be trying a new restaurant, new recipe, new workout, new book, new movie, etc. I was wondering if I could also have an article written about my story. I think what I'm doing is very interesting and people would love to hear about it. Please contact with any further questions or comments to get the story going.

Thanks,
Patty Buwen"

111th New Thing - Took a Zyrtec

If you recall, I went to the dermatologist to get a skin screening for the 1st time back in December. When I was there, the doctor did a biopsy of 1 of the moles on my back (which came back as normal, by the way). The area was healing pretty well until about 2 weeks ago. The area around the wound started getting bigger instead of smaller and oozing. Therefore, I went back to my doctor to check it out. She said I was having an allergic reaction to something, probably the Neosporin . She gave me some new ointment, Vanos , and said I should take Zyrtec until the area starts to get better. Vanos (fluocinonide) Cream is indicated for the relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid responsive dermatoses in patients. Best results are seen if used twice per day. Zyrtec (cetirizine) is an antihistamine that reduces the effects of natural chemical histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms of sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose. Zyrtec can be u...

364th New Thing - Ate a Mini Lemon Bites

My co-workers birthday was today so to celebrate they bought her a vanilla cake, a chocolate cake, and mini lemon bites from Costco . I had some chocolate cake and a mini lemon bite. These are made by Upper Crust Bakery . They supply Sam's Club, Starbucks, Costco, Kroger, Whole Foods, and BJ’s Wholesale Club. Both desserts that I ate tasted good. According to the Livestrong Calorie Tracker , 1 mini lemon bite is 130 calories, 19 g carbs, and 1 g protein. What did you do today?
