Today was a day of sadness, happiness, and love. I began the day by baking lots of oatmeal craisin cookies and was extremely proud of myself for not eating then while they baked and by the time i left the apartment i had only eaten one!
I went and met with Mark at the Marriot Marquis and we began our crazy quest for the day. He decided he wanted to get a gift for KDM, and knew what he wanted... a bear dressed as Fiyero. Well that was easier thought than done. We walked all over the city for about two hours including stops in many stores for clothing. Our success ended up coming from Macy's, Build-a-Bear, and Rite Aid. FYI when looking to dress a teddy bear clothes made for a Premie are the perfect size!
During that time i crushed my poor cookies, got attacked from two seperate revolving doors, and almost dropped from realizing the only bit of food i had had at that point was now two cookies!
FInally we made our way to the Wicked lotto where i met up with some great people who came to help (the love part of the day). Krysta, Karolina, her friend, and MARTY!!!! i bribed them with cookies! Sadly we all lost but what can ya do? Hopefully everyone who won enjoyed it especially the people who were behind us in the lotto line.
Then Mark and i dropped off our stuff at the Stage Door and went to Chipotle... food at last! After another failed errand we went to starbucks (where he had dressed the bear) and i got a venti shaken passion iced tea lemonade to drown my sorrows as i put it. then he went off to see the show and i stayed there drawing and doodling in my notebook all pitiful like (as seen above). Then i went to karaoke to pass more time until i met up with mark. Good times! I also kicked it up to Shirley Temples.
Then i met up with Mark and we created a special take on an old song and waited for KDM. He finally came out and it was nice to see him again and even more so for Mark since he hadn't seen him as Fiyero in well over a year! Um score for being told my cookies are "legendary" around the cast and a bunch came knocking on his door for some, and Mark's bear was a success as well. I guess the costume person thought it was custom made until she saw the romeo he red-ed out with a red sharpie. :D
Then i got mark to come back to karaoke for just a little but before he and i left to go home.
I also was especially pleased that there was a very nice man on the subway. I didn't get a seat when i got on and he offered me his seat, when i said no thank you he asked if i was sure, to which i said yes... but that simple gesture made the night that much better to remember there are some amazing people in NYC!
