239th New Thing - Tried Little Man Ice Cream

After work and running 5 miles, I went to Little Man Ice Cream in the Highlands to redeem my Google Offer that expired today. I paid $5 for $10 worth of ice cream. Google Offers deals from a local businesses that are emailed to you every day. Little Man Ice Cream (and gelati) is hand-made with some of the finest, local ingredients, and in small batches to ensure quality. They also serve fountain sodas, floats, malts, shakes, banana splits, and sundaes. I bought a pint of Raspberry Love (raspberry ice cream with dark chocolate hearts) and a pint of Butter Pecan for $10.50 (- $10 Google Offer = $0.50 or $5.50 total). I also had a small free sample of Oatmeal Cookie. All 3 tasted great. According to their website, 427,021 scoops have been served since July 4, 2008.

In addition, from day 1, one of the driving factors behind Little Man has been a program called Scoop for Scoop. They have made a commitment to share 1 scoop of rice for every scoop of ice cream sold. In just 6 months of sales in 2008, Little Man was able to hand deliver over 5,000 pounds of rice to villages in Ethiopia and Myanmar. Another good start to the weekend!

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...

361st New Thing - Tried on Wedding Dresses

I didn't have time to post the last night, therefore I'm posting this late as this occurred yesterday (Mon 10/15/12). My friend and I went to David's Bridal last night to try on some wedding dresses. I looked on their website a few months ago to get a feel of the type of dresses I like. There are 6 styles: Classic & Traditional, Chic & Modern, Elegant & Luxurious, Glamorous & Dramatic, Destination, and Reception. I like Classic & Traditional the best. There are 5 silhouettes to choose from: A-Line, Ball Gown, Mermaid/Trumpet, Sheath, and Short. I like A-Line the best. I'm considering straps or strapless. It took about 1.5 hours to try on 5 dresses. I liked 2 of the dresses I tried on, both were under $350. My goal is to find one under $200. Here is one of the 'favorites' that I saw online. It is hard to tell if I would or wouldn't like it on myself. What did you do today?
