Day 194/365 (February 28, 2009)

Got up earlier than planned and not sure why, ate some breakfast then went with Grace to help her with West Side Story Lotto. Ran into Sami, Penski, and then Carina and Stef.

The lotto guy is pretty funny and has a booming voice but i think his "we will call an alternate" policy incase someone doenst get all the tickets they said they wanted... yea i was called as the alternate only to wait in line and be told we don't have any more tickets for lotto. The other funny thing was during lotto there were two names that were called and the people didnt come forward because they werent there... well i was waiting in line these people came in and asked if lotto had been done yet and we said yes, and they asked if any names were called and people didnt come forward and we said there were two and he asked if they were adam or lauren and i was like on was lauren, and then asked her last name and it was it and i was like sorry! then the guy thought they could still get their lotto tickets somehow and he was set on his plan but she kept telling him it wasnt going to work... it made me chuckle.

Then i went to Wamu and closed out my bank account, yay for having a little bit of cash since i am without until Bank of America sends me my new ATM card... still peeved at Coldstone for causing that grief!

Had a little lunch of toast pizza and tomato and avocado... so much yum!

I came home and Krysta was watching one of her movies... not only does this not have "drama" but i saw some stuff that i did not need to be seeing. She also curled my hair all pretty like and i was going all vain and toss-tossing my hair all night!

Karolina came over to kill time after her wedding expo and before we went to go see boyz. We both seem to not see each other as much lately so its always nice to catch up, and we had dinner then made our way to NWS for Altar Boyz and Diane's anniversary celebration. She gave us pretty fun party favors, and i gave her a copy of Bare since she had never heard of it before!

The show was great... it is nice to see it after a little break, and Joey was on as Matthew. Karolina and I shouldnt be allowed to sit next to each other since we encourage each other with funny comments and whatnot.... always a blast!

We did a little photo shoot after the show then went to TOL... It was good fun and i got to speak with Clayton for a while (in picture above with Ravi). He is the drummer for Boyz and i missed him the last few weeks while he was working on another show. (in Seattle).  Also had a conversation with some others that involved my super math skills and a discussion of all the shows that have played at NWS.

Karolina also struck a deal for herself that resulted in a good thing... oy! LOL :D

Day 193/365 (February 27, 2009)

yea it is square but it was tricky homemade dough!!!!

The biggest event of the daylight hours occurred at the grocery store. I wanted to make pizza so grace and i went and bought the supplies but because we couldn't find pizza dough i decided to try to make it on my own. It ended up being a good project for the day but i didn't like the yicky feeling i had well mixing or kneeding it. I usually enjoy mixing things with my hands but this just felt weird and yea i dont think i will do it again. Next time i will make my ay to Whole Foods and buy the dough i like... and the sauce i like!

I also spent some time with Fred and Emma, and got a good picture of them liking each other (ok well getting along)... which they are very good at not letting you get but i snuck up on them.

Krysta, Grace, and I ate the pizza which was yet another real dinner for me which was nice. I also spoke on the Phone with Ted, and emailed with my cousin... i need to get out to New Rochelle on the sooner side to visit them!

Went to Mostly Sondheim (of course) and had lots of fun. This week Todd hosted again and since Kate was away in CA this guy named Michael filled in. He sounded great and was quite funny. AT one point Grace and i got brave and we sang Church Rulez... it actually was a disaster and we did follow the music pretty well for the most part.... it was no where near perfect but it was lots of fun and Todd and Michael were super nice to us and warned everyone we needed a lot of support... haha but it was great and fun!

Day 192/365 (February 26, 2009)

Today was another day filled with boredom, but i was able to eat some of one of my favorite cereals Raisin Bran Crunch. Later i had some yummy tomato and avocado.

Failure of the day: Altar Boyzopoly... i made some pretty graphics for the board but for some reason i cant get it to load on the page and i am beginning to think it will not be finished by the anniversary and that makes me more than a little sad!

I found a new show i kind of like called Burn Notice thanks to Grace.

I went to meet Grace outside of Blithe Spirit since she was seeing it.... turns out it ran way longer than they told her and i spent about 40 minutes in Shubert Alley with nothing to do but listen to music and walk around... but i was passed by Christian Anderson, Two Mermaids, and Heidi (so an octopus.)

FInally i left the stage door madness so i could meet Jake for karaoke fun to begin... and we had alot of fun! Grace came when she got autographs but by the end of the night there was alot of singing... as Lympus said we were doing a set. (hehe). But We sang Light My Candle and We Didn't Start The Fire. We failed at Can You Feel The Love Tonight since the words didnt come up and it was the eltn sung version, not the nala and simba sung version. What else did we sing?

We also got Grace in on the action for Wannabe... and she sang New York New York with Jake and i sang Take Me Or Leave Me with her... and i even let her sing Maureen which i never do since i like maureens part better, but that is just the diva in me! So i tried to work Joanne's part. They have a new drink there for Rooms, it is called Romance on the Rocks, and it is very sweet... i liked it but not enough to get it again.

I also decided i like the production people involved with Rooms because they were having lots of fun there too... yay for fun people in TOL!

This picture is my "tourist" picture because when i got off the subway to wal to meet grace i realized i hadnt taken any pictures today so i took this one just in case i didnt take one before midnight... good thing too because it was the only picture all day!

Day 191/365 (February 25, 2009)

I was going for a zoolander look, and instead look upset... when in fact i had a great time!

I tried to capture all 3 sets of baked goodies... SUGAR COMA!!!!

Oh what a day!

I spent the day doing many random things. I must also note that with the exception of showing Grace select scenes from American Mall and listening to part of the commentary the day was spent listening to a whole bunch of music rockin' from my itunes.

Today i made a birthday card for Hope that i was super proud of, even if i can no longer allow myself to use super glue because it always results in more glue on me than anywhere else. I then began my baking quest of cupcakes to bring to Hope's celebration. I had lots of fun frosting them, and then decorating them. I wish i had better handwriting, but one container said happy birthday hope, and the other were random designs, music notes, and one that said TSS.

Eventually i showered and got ready to leave, and at this point had consumed a few cupcakes amongst other random food of the day, including an omelette that i put cheese on that i had to scrape it off because it disgusted me for the first time ever. I made my way to grand central since i had to take metro north to Pleasantville because that is where Lucy's Lounge was. The trip wasnt so bad and the train was for nicer than the ones that take me to new rochelle! The cupcakes had a tiny incident on the way of me dropping them, but luckily nothing happened to them and they remained safe... seriously those dollar store containers rock!

When i walked up the steps as Hope had said i found it pretty easily and headed in. I ended up only being like 8 minutes early and walked in to an almost empty place. However i found a girl sitting by her lonesome with cupcakes in front of her. I asked her if she was here for Hope's birthday and she said yes.... score! so we chatted until Hope arrived, and then until more people came and we moved over to a larger table. Another one of Hope's friends had come in with this beautiful/monstrous sized cake.

It was nice getting to know the few of her friends i had never met before, and it was eve nicer when i realized i had already met most of them so it ended up being an evening of just fun, instead of "oh hi i only know one person here awkwardness."  we sang her happy birthday in spanish and everyone ate so much of each others cake like goods The cake had chocolate squares on top, and was checkered inside with vanilla and chocolate cake. We ate so much we went into sugar overload! I suspect i will have a bad tummy ache tonight!

All of her friends are also nannies, and let me tell you how weird it was. I would have killed 3 years ago to have so many nanny friends back when i was a nanny. Everyone was talking about their day and the things the children had done, and for the first time i had nothing to share since i am no longer a nanny. I still liked listening. At one point a band started playing and the singer started sining in a grover (of the muppets) voice and we were like what? but then he started singing in his real voice... twas much better!

I left a little on the early side since the trains started coming much further apart and when i got home i was extremly pleased because Krsyta had mae a real dinner and i was able to consume the left overs which was much needed to get something non sugar related in my system.

Then i designed the money for altar boyzopoly since i hate the money design that came with the make your own opoly game... and now i shall get ready for bed and spend 5 hours brushing my teeth, because they sure need it!

Day 190/365 (February 24, 2009)

I didnt take a picture of what i should have taken: our table all clean, with table cloth, and set up for a real dinner!

The day was spent doing nothing really. I baked sugar cookies because i was bored and when i went grocery shopping butter was on super sale.

We all ate a ton of them, especially me!

I watched lots of TV, did job hunting, and wrote a very long LJ entry about yesterday.

Krysta and I also lamented in the fact we couldn't go to the Bare reading!

The nicest part of the day was provided by both Grace and her Mom. She brought a lasagna made by her mom here from CA and this was the first night we were all in, so we decided to have it tonight. Krysta got some yummy bread and in her words made it "fancy." we used the pretty china dishes i have to eat a real meal, and we watched the movie Identity. it was kind of interesting but the murders in it should have started sooner because i was losing interest fast, but then it got intriguing. My favorite was the random guy in it that was in an episode of Highlander as Mikey and i always get excited when i see him in things because he is such a versatile actor, too bad i can never remember his real name.

Day 189/365 (February 23, 2009)

That is bedding, 6 towels, and most clothes that i wear on a regular basis... eek!!!!

Laundry swirling in washing machine... clearEly my green towel took control

30 degree weather, wind chill of 16... naturally you wear a hoodie, capri pants, and flip flops!!!!

Sorry if you couldn't be there for this!!!!!!!!

This is another entry that if you want to read the whole description of my day you are going to have to be my LJ friend, but in short i spent the morning doing the most laundry i have had in forever, then Krysta and I, with lots of help, lost the defying inequality lotto, and decided to buy a ticket anyway. This was the greatest decision because all though the even took 4 hours, yep that is right, it did not seem like it had taken that long.

Sadly the bank i went to was closed, and it was cold but this is what krysta was wearing... good times!

so many pictures!

Day 188/365 (February 22, 2009)

I didnt't get to sleep until about 1:30 after i finished playing with my phone in my room, and even though i woke up briefly twice, i didnt officially wake up until like 12/12:30! i got close to 11 hours of sleep and i felt like a mack truck had hit me!

I should have done laundry today but i needed a day of nothing even though i have been quite bored out of my mind the last few days. It was nice to be in my PJs today, and now i have a reason to get up early tomorrow (like 9) so i can do laundry and have clothes since all of mine are now dirty. Grace is staying with us, though not the last two nights because she was visitng family but her bed is still up, and Emma really likes it so if i wasn't playing with her today, or petting her i would find her right there dead center of the bed just napping.

I spent Oscar day watching a crapload of episodes of CSI: Miami which is funny because i cant stand two of the main characters but it kept me entertained today, and i watched a really bad lifetime movie.

Fred will becoming here sometime in the next few hours to stay with us for a while... let the icanhascheezburger quest begin again!
