(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…

Ria says
April 15, 2011 at 3:34 amNow 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!
Reen says
April 15, 2011 at 3:35 amSo 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.

April 15, 2011 at 3:59 amI am so excited for being “dragged” every footstep of the way! And I LOVE JUMPING PICTURES!!! 🙂
Helen says
April 15, 2011 at 4:08 amYou 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!
Joanna Sutter says
April 15, 2011 at 4:14 amI cannot wait to hear ALL about it! I’ll be following VIRTUALLY your every move.
Be safe and have an amazing experience.
Nina says
April 15, 2011 at 4:26 amDefinitely 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?
Steve says
April 15, 2011 at 4:33 amI didn’t enter so there wasn’t a chance I would win and see you there. LOL
Travel safely and have fun.
Shelley B says
April 15, 2011 at 4:47 amDuring the photo shoot, just remember to “work it, work ittt!”
Have fun. Hope you get the iPad to work there!
Erica says
April 15, 2011 at 4:49 amahhhh! Have an absolute blast! I can’t wait to see the results 🙂
Nan says
April 15, 2011 at 4:49 amI bet there is an app you can use.
Check the store.
I will join Twitter for you 🙂
Renee says
April 15, 2011 at 4:50 amI’m chiming in for video too.
I love your vids.
Pictures with the make-up??
VeggieGirl says
April 15, 2011 at 4:51 amOh man, I’ll be in NYC too next week!!! But it’s a super-busy, packed trip 🙁
Coco says
April 15, 2011 at 5:24 amThere 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!
Teresa says
April 15, 2011 at 5:25 amThat’s an awesome tuck jump!
Trick photography or is it really you that high?
melissa says
April 15, 2011 at 5:32 amCan’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.
Marisa @ Loser for Life says
April 15, 2011 at 5:39 amSooooo excited for you!!! It sounds like it’s going to be an AMAZING time! Looking forward to your updates. Have fun, Miz!!
Laura says
April 15, 2011 at 6:15 amI love that you go to the Cuts which are Super 😉
That’s a real woman!
Irene says
April 15, 2011 at 6:49 amWe have to meet! If I don’t see you in person I will just die!
Ok..not really, but anyway…
Lori (Finding Radiance) says

Jen, a priorfatgirl says
April 15, 2011 at 7:36 amCannot WAIT to hear all about it!
Dawn says

Ava says
April 15, 2011 at 7:45 amAwesome tuck jump!!!
biobabbler says
April 15, 2011 at 8:13 amI 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.” =)
Taryn says

debby says
April 15, 2011 at 9:14 amSo happy for you! You are a deserving REAL WOMAN.
And all I can say about an ipad is I want one.
Leigh says
April 15, 2011 at 9:42 amI like the fact you haven’t changed a bit since you started your blog.
You are humble.
Have a wonderful time.
Tina says
April 15, 2011 at 10:22 amHey, 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.
Kimberley says
April 15, 2011 at 12:00 pmHave a wonderful time!!! Can’t wait to see the hair and makeup!
Jody - Fit at 53 says
April 15, 2011 at 12:08 pmCarla, 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!!!
DareToBecome says
April 15, 2011 at 12:10 pmHave a great time Carla! This sounds so exciting.
JourneyBeyondSurvival says
April 15, 2011 at 12:35 pmCarla!
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.
Kristina Kennedy says
April 15, 2011 at 1:15 pmI am THRILLED for you! Have a fabulous trip! You deserve it!
Cammy@TippyToeDiet says
April 15, 2011 at 3:32 pmI’m excited, too!
Just don’t let them “over-do” you! You’re awesome just as you are!
BK says
April 15, 2011 at 6:36 pmI am so excited and happy for you!!! You will have a fabulous time in my hometown!!!
charlotte says
April 15, 2011 at 10:25 pmYou 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??
Jeannie says
April 15, 2011 at 11:41 pmYou’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.
Ron says
April 16, 2011 at 8:03 amCongrats and I hope you have a great trip!!!
Sheri says
April 16, 2011 at 8:43 amI 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.
Pubsgal says
April 16, 2011 at 9:41 pmWoo HOOO!!! I was so excited that you got selected, and I’m excited for your big NYC adventure – enjoy!!!
Melissa (@MelGetsFit) says
April 17, 2011 at 1:30 amHave 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.
cassie says
April 17, 2011 at 8:08 amwow, 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..
Robin says
April 17, 2011 at 6:57 pmAwesome! Congratulations! Have a fabulous time and keep us updated.
Kate Brown says
