BUTT...
I am concerned ;-)


OMG... I think i am about to be really happy... WHY? Well, other than the fact that I have 2 amazing doggies (Cookie Jar and Pepper Shaker)... I just received a call that the Treadmill I ordered for my place is coming tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am super excited. I mean, I don't know how to assemble it but at least it is on it's way... When it gets here then I have to call the Nordic Track people and have them stalk me down to assemble it... well, step 1 is almost complete.



Things still in question...

- Where am I going to put it?
- Why do I think I will use it?
- Will I become addicted to exercise... again ;-)
- How long should I stare at it before using it?
- Will people realize that it is not a coat rack?
- Should I tell my friends, or will they stop by at midnight to use it?
- Can my dogs train for canine marathons on it?

... Yes, I know, these are ALL VERY IMPORTANT QUESTIONS...

MAC's on the iMAC ;-)

Yea... so, all good days involve some computer time play! Right? Gosh... Sharon and I are such ballers!

How did I miss Blogging about this?

I have been so crazy busy that I forgot to post photos from the Event that YJP hosted as a Fundraiser for Icare4autism (the International Center for Autism Research & Education)... Wow. Now, that is busy! At the event, I interviewed people for ICARE TV. One person that I interviewed was KEN SUNSHINE. He is a PR guy that rep's people like Barbara Streisand, Leo Decaprio, John Mayer and so on.

...In case you didn't know...

Time is rushing into the New Year... Shana Tova!

Wow... So, things are wayyyyy more busy than expected. I have a manageable amount of things to do but I keep forgetting to do them ;-(

Plus, it is almost my birthday... I will be 26. This is a weird number but--- whatever

Tonight, I went to hear a Rabbi Wallerstein, a popular Brooklyn rabbi. He was extra good tonight. So, it was nice. Plus, after the shur he blessed 200 small jars of honey for people to take home!

Anyway, I hope to get a bunch more done before holiday. This year, I am spending the evenings with with one of my favorite families... the Bitton's. And, I am going to see more friends during the days.

Shana Tova!

Event Planning...














I am so excited for the ICARE4AUTISM event that is currently in production! It is going to take place on September 22nd... right before my birthday;-)

So, the night before last I went with the organization's event planner, Candice Schaffer, to check out the event space. I also needed to check out the general scene with the type of crowd that the YJP (Young Jewish Professionals) would be bringing in.

So, we went, we conquored, and are closing to wrapping up the details on the upcoming event.

2 FULL TIME Jobs

oh, and I am taking college classes

Sometimes, life comes and lands on your head. Meaning- things come in your life that are "good opportunities" so you do them.

For the last couple months, I have been working on a book with a very popular rabbi. And, finishing some college classes. However, I managed to bump into an ad for a position that caught my eye. Flash forward. I have a new position... a second career.

I am now working at I CARE 4 AUTISM... the picture is of me, in my room, before going to my first day of work (8/10/09)

The place is a not for profit and it is amazing. I had never met, barely seen, anyone with autism. Now, I am in the midst of people who are autistic. And, it is also up to me and the rest of the team to pull together an amazing AWARENESS campaign for the blossoming company. My role pertains to writing, interviewing and coming up with innovative online ideas.

To be honest. I feel like I shouldn't have to say much. The concept and the initial framework is very, very impressive. Also, the guy that founded Icare4autism, Joshua Weinstein, seems like such a good person.

BLAH right? ... no. There are certain things he says and does that underline the face that he cares for autistic children and their families--- AND HAS MORALS. I am so blessed to be around good people. So, far I have learned a lot. One thing I learned is that autism affects 1 in 150 children. That is scary!
