I just got back from one of the most inspiring events, “Lose the Training Wheels” is a camp hosted by UNYFEAT (Upstate NY Families for Effective Autism Treatment)  The camp teaches children with Autism Spectrum Disorder or other disabilities, ages 8 and up, how to ride a conventional bike without training wheels.
It’s funny how we take the little things for granted, like riding a bike.

I had a such great time. These were the sweetest kids, full of determination and energy.  My job as a “volunteer” was to walk or I should say run alongside my new friend JJ as he rode his specially designed bike.  Man, he was kicking my butt!

Isn’t it remarkable, the number of children diagnosed with Autism is on the rise, yet no one has a definite answer as to why?  It really is a miracle to have a baby.

If you have someone close to you who has ASD or if you want to help a great local support group check out the website UNYFEAT 

These are Zours

We have cases of the stuff in storage in order for you, the PXY listener, to sample at various events this summer.  Unfortunately, there may not be any left for you.  You see, Zours are a delicious candy treat that are a cross between Mike and Ike and Sour Patch Kids, and I am convinced they are laced with narcotics.  I CAN’T STOP EATING THEM!

If I come across a little hyper, now you know why.  I’m all hopped up on The Z, and it may be time for an intervention.

This week’s Best Dressed Bitch award goes tooooo……

RIHANNA!

Black Boots. Sweet shades. Sparkly bandana. Cute black dress.

     PERFECT.

How the heck does RIHANNA look perfectly dressed for a photo shoot even when she’s just running errands?

I’m lucky enough to find clean pants.  

My friend Chris came up from North Carolina this weekend. So, like any good Rochester-ian, I took him to the flyest Rochester hot spots.

AKA Marketplace Mall.

After coming alarmingly close to spending $700 on a puppy (which might have been due to the cocktail I had at dinner), we went to one of THOSE stores.

There is one of THOSE stores in every mall. THOSE stores are overcrowded with the ugliest, most overpriced, useless items in the world. Bear statues, fake light up waterfalls, huge gold buddhas, etc.  THOSE stores reek of your creepy old aunt’s house.

After begging my friend if we could leave because I was frightened by all the hidious-ness, I stumbled on the absolute FUGLIEST thing in the store.
