258th New Thing - Played Kan Jam


Today is the 4th of July, aka Independence Day. This day a federal holiday in the US commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain. This day is usually celebrated with parades, festivals, concerts, BBQs, picnics, parties, camping, pool days, etc. We decided to ride our bikes to Wash Park to hang out and play Frisbee. The park was absolutely packed with people eating, drinking, and playing. It was a hot day in Denver, about 90F. We played some Kan Jam. This is a disc tossing game played with a flying disc and two cans in which you deflect the disc into the can. Kan Jam was invented by Charles Sciandra and Paul Swisher in the mid-1990s and is based in western New York. After our games, we biked home and hung out at the pool for a bit. We grilled some chicken, steamed some broccoli, and made mac n cheese. Unfortunately, because of all the fires in Colorado, there is a statewide fire ban, including fireworks. Therefore, 90% of the firework shows in the state were cancelled. Oh well, what a great day!
Happy 4th of July!

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?
