Update!

So, we're going to Atlanta on Thursday for a week. We're going to go tubing, boating, and riding in the white limo, among other things. We'll be there for my birthday too! Then, when we get back, we're having my party the Saturday right after that. I can't wait! We're taking plastic and putting in in my grandma's yard to make a huge slip 'n' slide down her hill. It'll be so fun! But, when we were printing the invitations to send out, my mom accidentally printed out 50 extra! Whoopsie! & I was all like OMG, Becky's not even hot! Haha that's from a commercial for car insurance. Today, I got up at 6:51 am and went running approximately 2 miles with Marissa G and Lauren M. We had a blast! Then we went to Caterina's Dulce Cucina for breakfast, and I had a blueberry lemon scone and a frozen raspberry lemonade. It was all delicious! I love it there, and I also really like their house salad! Marissa had a blueberry muffin with a strawberry banana freeze, and Lauren had a banana nut muffin with a frozen strawberry lemonade. When we went in, we were roasting from running, but we were freezing by the time we left! Tomorrow morning, we are going to water aerobics at the middle school pool, except I'm not sure if Lauren is allowed to come or not. I hope so though! I can't wait to get a Facebook on Monday! Six days left! So Degrassi: The Boiling Point has been good, but not exactly what I expected. I'm not sure what I actually expected though haha :) Oh well, I'm off to watch the boiling point then go to sleep because I am exhausted! I'll try to post more soon, but I haven't been doing an amazing job of that! Whoopsie! Ok, BFN!

Punxsy to Valier

Today, I rode from Punxsy to Valier on a bike. I went with Bella, Mig, Bali, Emily, etc.. It was fun! We rode almost 8 miles! Check back in later, Elissa..

Shear Genius

So, right now, I'm watching reruns of Shear Genius, a really good show on Bravo. It's like American Idol or Project Runway, only it's for hair dressers. Some of the challenges are crazy, like they had to do men's hair with extensions. I could never do some of the things they do! They're really good! So, anyway, right how, I'm really bored. I just got the latest issue of Teen Vogue today, but I already read the whole thing. I also started reading Going Bovine. It's hilarious. In the summary on the copyright page, it says that the protagonist, Cameron, gets mad cow disease. I haven't gotten to that part yet, though. I'll let you know what happens :D BFN

What's the Buzz about Google Buzz?

As you probably know, there is a new feature in gmail, Google Buzz. Also, you may know that I love Google, a company of about 20,000 people. So, Google Buzz obviously has no age limitations. I am writing this post as I watch the Live Google Event from yesterday, which aired without my knowledge, when I was braving the elements, but that's another post. :) Anyway, one of the good features of Google Buzz is that you don't have to go searching to add all of your friends. Anyone you email or chat with is already added to the people you're following. You can also connect Google Buzz to your Twitter account. Now, I may have started off getting a bit too advanced. For those of you who have not heard of Google Buzz, It is on quote, "Google's approach to sharing." It will be rolled out to the public over the course of this week. When you go into your Gmail Inbox, On the left side, there is your navigation bar. It says inbox, trash, sent, etc., but not necessarily in that order. When you click the links, it takes you to that folder. Beginning sometime this week, you may notice a Buzz link under Inbox. That is where you go to start accessing your Google Buzz. So, in the Google Event, they categorize Google Buzz's main features into five features. First, as I already mentioned, it features auto-following. Next, it offers a rich, fast sharing experience. So, since you already know how to navigate Gmail effectively, they leave Google Buzz within Gmail so that you can also navigate it effectively. They also paid close attention to media. You can share links, photos, tweets, videos, etc., all within Google Buzz. Also, along with the fast part of the experience, Google Buzz is in realtime. You don't have to wait for that message to send, like in emails and SMS messages. You can automatically see Aunt Suzy's message as she's typing it in. Third, Google Buzz supports both public and private sharing. You can share your thoughts with the whole world, or just a small group of friends. You have the ability to choose quickly for each and every share. Fourth, is Inbox Integration. You can add an @reply to any share (or buzz) to anyone and that Buzz will show up in their Gmail Inbox. Last, but not least, is the good stuff. You get almost everything from your other most important social networks, like twitter, google reader, and facebook, in one tab. Another thing I want to talk about is the links. When you post a link, Google Buzz automatically finds headlines and photos from that webpage. Way cool!
