(yes. I am still jumping for joy. It’s who I am: an overzealous misfit.)
I don’t know a lot—but I do know a little.
- Im heading to NYC Monday morning (Id joke at the crack of dawn but even my early flight time is mid-day up in herre).
- I’ll be in NYC through Thursday morning.
- I’ll be photo-shooting along side five other *amazing amazing* women.
- I have to be in hair and make-up at 8a on Tuesday. (Yes, Oh Readers whom I view as friends, the words HAIR & MAKE-UP did cause my heart to skip a beat. This head has spent the past 10+ years at the Cuts which are Super and I havent worn make-up since high school. Fare the well comfort zone—Ill be back soon!)
- Hmmmm. Except for the fact Im *way* excited, Im seriously super curious what it will be like & I intend to drag you (willing or not) with me every step of the way that’s about all I know right now.
My plan is to attempt to blog from Ren Man’s ipad (tips? suggestions? anyone out there use wordpress and an ipad?).
In addition, I’ll be tweeting /facebooking random updates and panic attacks .
I *hope* to upload video but, given my distinct lack of ipad’ing skills, Im not sure that will happen.
Most importantly Lastly, Im hoping there’s some built in free-time for a blogger/tweeter NYC meet up.
That’s me on this Friday:
Looking for ipad tips, wondering if I should have gotten a hair-do, super excited for this crazy random experience, and curious if any of you live in NYC.
I await yer wisdom in the comments below…
The photo above was taken by the awesome kristina kennedy. Austin people? Take note!
OMG! HAVE FUN! I’m so proud of you! 🙂
You ROCK!
I am outside the c ity and could drive in.
When will you know your schedule?
WIll you blog it?
I’d love a meet up!
Now I am not sure which I am more jealous of the winning Fila or that you have an ipad!!
(The ipad I think. I would not love having my photo taken :))
Have a great weekend and congrats again, Miz!
So excited for you!!! New York City!!! And sounds like a great trip. I am not close to New York City, a few hours driving distance or by train, but I’ve got a jam packed work schedule through next Friday. 🙁 Very anxious to hear about your trip though!
Now, if you ever make it to the Philadelphia area, that would be just so cool. Definitately could be time for a meet up.
Hair and make-up huh?
Can you take pictures?
SQUEEEEing for you in Canada.
I tried to win so we could meet.
No luck 🙂
Have fun and represent!

I am so excited for being “dragged” every footstep of the way! And I LOVE JUMPING PICTURES!!! 🙂
You must do some video for us if you can!
I think you are supposed to be able to upload it to youtube and just drag and drop to your post?
I will see what I can find out for you!
I cannot wait to hear ALL about it! I’ll be following VIRTUALLY your every move.
Be safe and have an amazing experience.
Definitely do video.
Hotel room video before the shoot?
I want to know everything 🙂
I think you can email that to youtube and then just link on your blog?
I didn’t enter so there wasn’t a chance I would win and see you there. LOL
Travel safely and have fun.
During the photo shoot, just remember to “work it, work ittt!”
Have fun. Hope you get the iPad to work there!
ahhhh! Have an absolute blast! I can’t wait to see the results 🙂
I bet there is an app you can use.
Check the store.
I will join Twitter for you 🙂
I’m chiming in for video too.
I love your vids.
Pictures with the make-up??
Oh man, I’ll be in NYC too next week!!! But it’s a super-busy, packed trip 🙁
There is a WordPress App. If you don’t already have it, I would download it this weekend and test it out. I’ve used it a few times on my iPhone. It was very easy to set up and get started, but I have free WP and don’t know if there are any differences.
Can’t wait to hear how much FUN you have!
That’s an awesome tuck jump!
Trick photography or is it really you that high?
Can’t believe I won’t be able to see you there. What part of town? Do you want me to set you up with a gym? Any kind of crazy class you’re dying to try? Once I know where you are I can point you towards some healthy dining options.
Can’t wait to see the ‘after’ pix from the hair/makeup.
You’re going to have so much fun.
Sooooo excited for you!!! It sounds like it’s going to be an AMAZING time! Looking forward to your updates. Have fun, Miz!!
I love that you go to the Cuts which are Super 😉
That’s a real woman!
We have to meet! If I don’t see you in person I will just die!
Ok..not really, but anyway…
Have a blast!
Cannot WAIT to hear all about it!
My advice, just enjoy yourself. I’ll be heading to NY on Friday so will just miss ya lol hope to see you in Baltimore next month though for sure 🙂
Awesome tuck jump!!!
I think it’d be great to show the hair stylist your hair in that pic when you’re jumping–it looks AWESOME and you are all about movement and energy. Congratulations! Looking forward to your “reporting from the field.” =)
I’m in NYC!
You’re famous!!!
I’m so excited for you! Enjoy every minute!
So happy for you! You are a deserving REAL WOMAN.
And all I can say about an ipad is I want one.
I like the fact you haven’t changed a bit since you started your blog.
You are humble.
Have a wonderful time.
Hey, enjoy the spotlight and enjoy the city. I live in NYC but I will lbe out of town next week, of course, lol if that changes I will hit you up.
Have a wonderful time!!! Can’t wait to see the hair and makeup!
Carla, you know full well my lack of computer skills! 😉 So, no help there!!!
I am so happy for you!!! Me, I would love some make up help as I gave up years ago & now with hormone face disease, god, I would love to have somebody cover it! Well, and take off the hair rug on it!!! 🙂
So proud & thrilled you got there & wish I was there to meet you! You so deserve this!!!
Have a great time Carla! This sounds so exciting.
Carla!
Congrats m’dear!
I use the WordPress app on my iphone. Or I did until it turned into a toilet zombie. :'(
Anyway…you’ll LOVE it! Just don’t go into any old posts, because mine was randomly renaming all of them. It is really convenient for replying to comments, and I don’t think you should have any problem with typing up posts or using photos already on your ipad.
I am THRILLED for you! Have a fabulous trip! You deserve it!
I’m excited, too!
Just don’t let them “over-do” you! You’re awesome just as you are!
I am so excited and happy for you!!! You will have a fabulous time in my hometown!!!
You are going to be FABULOUS!! You are gorgeous lady, even without the hair and makeup. ENjoy your time there! And how much do I wish I was in New york to meet you/cheer you on??
You’ll do great. I never wear makeup either except special occasions. I’m using an ilpad right now to write this. Only used it a couple days now & haven’t tried anything like blogging with it so no advice their. It seems like it should work fine though if you can log into your word press site.
Congrats and I hope you have a great trip!!!
I am so excited for you Miz! I too haven’t worn makeup since high school except for some lipstick here and there. I totally dislike it. However, I would have a blast doing what your about to do! Thanks for taking us with you.
Woo HOOO!!! I was so excited that you got selected, and I’m excited for your big NYC adventure – enjoy!!!
Have a GREAT time in NYC! I’ve used the WordPress app on my iPad2 and it’s worked fine with my self-hosted blogs. I would definitely recommend installing it in advance and giving it a test run before you leave.
wow, sounds like fun.. have an amazing time and enjoy every minute of being a “super star”… born and raised new yorker here… a meetup would be great.. let me know if you need any recommendations on places to dine, etc..
Awesome! Congratulations! Have a fabulous time and keep us updated.
Hi! Welcome to NYC! I live here and I have some great suggestions for food places, workout spots, etc. Also, you are invited to come down to the DailyBurn offices! I would love to interview you for our blog.
@invinciblekate
Any word on the meetup yet? I totally want to join the fun!
