Give us a click!

Friends, we need your help! Please click links that I post on Twitter labeled with #yinsider. And share with others who would be able to help!

Background: I'm in a contest running against 9 other people that has to do with the Yahoo! trip that I took a few weeks back. Each week, we share trending news topics and at the end of 6 weeks of link sharing, they tally up the number of total clicks each person got to determine the winner. Basically, whoever is most influential or best at sharing the news is the winner. The grand prize is $5,000 and a new laptop!

If you guys help me win the grand prize, I will donate $1,000 of that to a pet charity!

Please share any of the links that you find interesting (using the shortened bitly link so the tracking doesn't get lost). Thank you so much for the help!

Back from New York!

Last weekend, I took a long weekend to go on a trip to NYC with my dad and we had a fantastic time! We got lucky with good weather and amazing food of course.

Some highlights from the trip:

• Ate melt-in-your-mouth pasta in Little Italy
• Got bombarded by people offering "watches, handbags, gucci, rolex" in Chinatown
• Mastered the subway (even successfully offered directions to a few people who asked!)
• Visited Central Park for my dad's first time
• Visited the Metropolitan Museum for both of our first time
• Went to Macy's. Three times.
• Went to a fancy, expensive steakhouse
• Walked. A LOT.
• Went to the top of Rockefeller Center on a clear sunny day

Yummy authentic Italian pizza!

In the meantime, Ellie stayed with her best friend Goldie (and my sister) and had a great time being allowed on her bed and couch. She's not allowed on the furniture at my place ;)

It was great spending lots of time with my dad and had some very successful shopping outings, but I am glad to be back home with my doggy!
