216th New Thing - Saw Avenue Q

I'm on vacation so I didn't have time to post the last few nights, therefore I'm posting this late as this occurred 4 days ago (Wed 5/23/12).
We are in the northeast for a few days so we went to New York City all day on Wednesday. First, we ate at a little diner and I had a bacon, egg, and cheese on a jumbo sesame seed bagel. Then we walked to Times Square then down to Empire State building and stopped to get a Dunkin Donuts Coffee Coolatta. We stopped at Crumbs Bake Shop for a Peanut Butter Cup Cupcake on the way. Next we took the subway to 9/11 Memorial that opened on 9/11/11 (10 year anniversary).  There are twin reflecting pools are each nearly 1 acre and feature the largest manmade waterfalls in the North America. The museum is scheduled to open 9/11/12 and 1 WTC (Freedom Tower) is still being built (104 floors when complete). Next we walked down to Battery Park to look at the Statue of Liberty and got a sandwich from Champs Gourmet Deli for a cuban sandwich on the way. Then we went back up north to Rockefeller Center to Top of The Rock (70th floor). Here is where my boyfriend, Matt, proposed to me. Now he is my fiancé! Very exciting news! Next we walked up to Central Park. Then walked back down to Times Square and stopped at Famous Original Ray's Pizza for a slice.
Finally, we went to see a show called Avenue Q The Musical at New World Stages. This is an Off-Broadway musical comedy with puppets that began in March 2003. It is about a story of a recent college grad who moves into a shabby New York City apartment on Avenue Q. There, he meets his neighbors that help him discover his purpose in life. It has won awards such as Tony “Triple Crown” for Best Musical, Best Score, and Best Book. It was a very funny show, I enjoyed it, and would recommend it to anyone.

What did you do today?

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
