TicketAmerica Sells Lots of Tickes. And They do it Across America!

I saw an ad for Ticketamerica the other day and I had no idea what, exactly, it was. So I went to my favorite place and searched it out. Turns out, Ticketamerica is like, the place to buy tickets for concerts but mostly, I was impressed by the vast array of sporting events I could get tickets for. And not just a few places, I could take a whole road trip and see the LA Lakers at the Staples Center and stop in quickly to visit my aunt and cousin in Orange County.

Then, I started thinking, what if I planned a road trip to see several sporting events during a wicked and wild period of time? I could go east and see the Redsox at Fenway Park and then stop in and see the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field.

Then, I could head west again and see the Suns at the US Airways Center and head north to catch a Washington Wizards game at the Verizon Center. I must tell my husband of this plan! He will be worried of course, because he has to foot the bill, but if I pitch it just right, I can hook him.

I just want to wear something comfy

Have I told you before that my 19 year old daughter is working toward her CNA? Well, she was working toward it when she was an assistant in a nursing home. The thing she liked best about that job was wearing nursing scrubs. She said they were comfortable and she could relax in them. This is HUGE from this particular daughter given her highest aspiration in high school was to work in a tanning salon. I’m so not kidding. Now she works for a medical insurance company and makes enough money that for the time being, she isn’t worried about that CNA degree. I tell her she will regret that but she’s 19. What 19 year old listens to her mom?

Sometimes I wish I worked in the nursing field because honestly the thought of wearing scrubs clothing every day, and being comfortable, every day, well, that is almost enough to get me past the idea that I would be touching people. Because I’ll be honest, if it weren’t for the touching people part and how that skeeves me out just a bit, I would totally be in the medical field. I like people. I want to help them. I just don’t want to touch them.

It really is too bad that I have to wear suits to work. I could totally pull off scrub tops and some jeans. I have seen the new tops, they are cute and they don’t look like everyone works for a pediatric dentist. There are even some stylish scrubs out there. If I could just get past that whole touching of people issue.

All clean and smelling pretty

I have been trying to get to this post for over a week but with all my focused and intense LSAT studying, I've been forgetting about the simple things. Like shopping. And cleaning.  And blogging.

Mostly blogging.

About two weeks ago I was invited by BlogHer to participate in a sampling program featuring P&G products. If you knew me in real life, you would know that I am ALL ABOUT P&G products at home.

I don't think I use anything other than P&G for cleaning, laundry (I love you Tide® and Bounce® with Febreze®!). Anyway, I was all over participating in the program because P&G is currently having a sale where you buy four products and get $4 off at the register (at least at my store they are). I was also given a $25 gift card from BlogHer and Kroger's.

Anyway, I loaded up on all my cleaning items right before the weekend and then got so caught up in real life, I totally forgot to post about it. As I said earlier, I got $4 off for buying four P&G products; I also had some coupons because I'm a total coupon junkie now (email me for some good links to online coupons).  I also spent my whole $25 gift card (thank you BlogHer & Kroger!).  As you can see, I bought lots of stuff:

I cannot live without Dawn® Foam, Febreze® smelly things, Swiffer® sweepers and Swiffer® dusters. Not to mention, The Husband (a/k/a The Man) requires only Charmin® for his delicate parts, Old Spice® for his cleaning rituals and Prilosec® for his mother's cooking. (HA! I kill me!)

Now my house is clean and smells as good as my husband.  

Anyway, there is still time for you, yes, I mean YOU and YOU too to enter to win one of 25 more $25 gift cards. Simply leave a comment at BlogHer (← that link) and you'll be entered to win.Of course because I'm so late to the game, the contest only goes through 01/12/11.

iTriage Healthcare App for Smartphones

This is a compensated review from The Mom Blogger Club and iTriage

Being the person who probably most relies upon Dr. Google when I am feeling sick or when looking up symptoms related to a case I am working on, I was pretty excited to see the following headline:

iTriage Healthcare App for iPhone, iPod Touch, Android and Palm. Coming to Blackberry Soon

The wealth of information at my fingertips never ends! It also feeds my junkie need for information.

Healthagen, LLC is the creation of two emergency room physicians, Drs. Peter Hudson and Wayne Guerra, and Healthagen has created a new app called iTriage (http://www.itriagehealth.com/get-mobile) that is a medical reference application for the iPhone and iPod Touch, Android, and Palm and coming soon to my beloved Blackberry! 

What iTriage does is allow you to search for symptoms, diseases, procedures and providers.  It also claims to offer “useful descriptions of the conditions, treatments, and medical tests, the app also offers support links to your insurer’s advice line.” 

*swoon*

And, as if that were not enough information at your finger tips, iTriage claims to “use the iPhone’s GPS to help you find nearby pharmacies, hospitals, and other treatment centers. In some states it gives ER wait times so you can choose which one to go to.”

I know that in Arizona, there are actually websites where you can check in to an ER and they call you 20 minutes before you need to be there.  Tehcnology. Awesome! 

Additionally, iTriage contains Information on more than 300 symptoms, 1000 diseases and 350 medical procedures; a nationwide directory of hospitals, urgent cares, retail clinics, pharmacies and physicians, nurse advise lines and even offers detailed quality reports from HealthGrades on hospitals and physicians as well as offering to help negotiating medical bills through an iTriage partnership with one of the most respected claims adjudication organizations

I have a blackberry, so I did not get to try the application directly, I have no reason to believe that it does not work as claimed and I know that I’ve bookmarked the site so once the app is available for Blackberry users I will download it and perhaps break up with Dr. Google once and for all.
