275th New Thing - Went to Downtown Aquarium


Downtown Aquarium – Denver, CO
I went to Downtown Aquarium today to check out the wedding ceremony and wedding reception facilities. I looked at their Outdoor Green Space for the wedding ceremony and their Nautilus Ballroom for the wedding reception. Both areas were nice and affordable. The ballroom seats 50 to 250 guests, has an award-winning culinary team, hand-painted ceilings, and comes with Dive Lounge for cocktail hour. The only issue I see is that the aquarium was very crowded today with visitors and the aquarium is open to the public until 9pm so I'm not sure how enjoyable our nice ceremony and reception will be with a bunch of kids and families running around. After I was done looking at the facility the coordinator gave me a wrist band to look around and validated my parking. I saw Crappies, sting rays, jelly fish, frogs, turtles, sharks, Nemos, mermaids, and even some tigers! I was in the aquarium for about 20 minutes and went to The Wharf, The Desert, The Rainforest, and The Beach, to name a few. 
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...

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?
