Hi everyone!

Thank you to everyone who has contacted me over concern of the storm. Wanted to let you all know that we are doing okay! The center of the storm is set to hit us this evening around 6:30 p.m. into tomorrow morning, but we’re ready! I’m not near any of the flooding in lower Manhattan or the dangling crane you might have seen on the news either! Will keep you posted, but we are safe and sound :)

Ps. the muffin doesn’t seem to be too phased by the storm so far.. He’s just a little confused on why he gets to hang out at Chris’ apartment and watch sports for two (maybe three) days straight!

Hey everyone! I just wanted to touch base with you all as Hurricane Sandy creeps up the east coast. I’ll continue to update my blog throughout the storm to let you know our status (as long as we have power). My roommate and I are all ready to go with supplies so we should be just fine! The city has started some mandatory evacuations for the low lands and beaches on Long Island, but we’re on elevated land.

The MTA, which is our mass transit, has also decided to shutdown because of predicted wind speeds and possible flooding tonight at 7 p.m.. Now that the MTA has decided to close, my office has decided to close and all employees will be working remotely on Monday. As of now, that’s all of the news I have for you now! Don’t worry about us, we’ll be just fine, we’re storm pros at this point! :)

In case you didn’t know this about me… I LOVE slurpees! All the way back from the days when I used to ride my bike to Circle K in the claw to college when sour bright crawlers and slurpees were a weekend essential. And when I say I love slurpees, I’m talking year-round. Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer. These isn’t a day of the year that drinking one can’t make your day better.

After understanding my love, you can understand why I am so excited that the social media team at Slurpee sent me 4 free coupons for them! Ohh yeahhh! I talked with their social media team about a month ago about how much I loved them and they offered to send me some free coupons.

Totally awesome right?! Working in social media myself, I really respect a well-oiled customer service team going out of their way to make customers feel valued. 7-Eleven, you guys are doing it right. You have a slurpee customer for life here.
