Day 342/365 (June 24, 2015)

Since it was too hot yesterday to bake I popped into the evil cookie place to bring day old treats so they could have something. I also realized i forgot my breakfast and lunch at home which sucked!

I ate a few cookies and felt sick, oops! We had a very long meting over the day and I had to duck out early because of training. I was also starving since I didn't have lunch so I ate two bananas and was feeling very stressed because of all i needed to do.

Turns out that was a winning combination because i was a beast during training. I plowed through everything and Travis even had to add stuff not planned from his list, and had time to stretch! I mean i did 20 jump squats with out stopping!

Then i went home and tackled my massive to do list (which grew after photo was taken) and I knocked everything off except the clouds for the rainbow because I broke the rainbow and had to fix it... need to come up with a plan B... then we watched the premier of BIG BROTHER!!!!

Day 341/365 (June 23, 2015)

Today i worked, I also sent out a press release which made me feel pretty good/nervous for the concert.

I also had my Jenny appointment and went to Fairway for some cake flour. Then I proceeded to have a mini meltdown about making the cake for Lola's party... I may have bitten off more than I can chew with my timeline since I realized my Big Brother thing starts way earlier than I anticipated.

It was also obnoxiously hot and humid out, at one point it was 88*, feels like 95* aka shoot me. Went to the evil cookie place and saw Anna.

The rest of the evening was spent on the couch with Fred and Charlie cuddling. Charlie also liked to stay under Karen's umbrella.



so hot

Day 340/365 (June 22, 2015)

Long day at work, then I went to training and oh man was it a sweaty good workout. It was also nice at times because for the first part of it Travis and I were having a conversation with one of the other trainers and his clients so it made it seem not as painful while working out. Then I headed home and showered before donning my Ravenclaw Quidditch outfit with Sasha and Karen in Slytherin stuff for Harry Potter trivia! We had fun and our team was named "Potter Cats" after our boys. One team had possibly the best team never in the existence of everything and after it was read aloud the whole room clpped and cheered for it for quite some time! It was "How does Harry Potter get down a hill? He walks... J.K. Rowling"

Then Sasha and I got Pinkberry. I also finished Orange is the New Black. Although I can see they are setting up for an interesting season 4 with the final episode I must say I was pretty disappointed with the ending, it left me feeling kind of eh.

I did get a personal high score on Tsum Tsum all by myself!

Cute sleeping Fred.

Day 339/365 (June 21, 2015)

Considering the late night last night I wok up way earlier than planned. After breakfast I headed to the cake store/michaels/trader joes. Then it was home! I finished decorating Lola's birthday card, finished making the cutie marks out of chocolate, and did some concert prep. Sadly the cutie marks turned out to be a major fail!

Sasha and I also watched (well I rewatched) Orange is the New Black during the day and at night I watched my Netflix DVD. I am still struggling with my life right now.

Charlie loves a good bag, and Fred loves when the couch is set up like a bed.

Day 338/365 (June 20, 2015)

Got up early and Karen, Jess, and myself met up with Avi for breakfast at The Sugar Factory. We shared two goblets and I had such a yummy breakfast (Apple Pie Waffles). Then we popped into a little market and walked back to my place via the Highline where it rained on an off. The Highline had a Lego thing so we added to it, i finished some staircases and left a "T"

Then on the way home we popped into another market that had a restaurant called "The Cannibal" and I still have issues with its name!

Then to my apartment for a few hours. Everyone ended up napping, though I only got in like 5 or 10 minutes, the others were nap champs! Then we got ready and headed out for the official start of Jess' bachelorette party! She was wearing a tiara and sash that both said "Bachelorette" so no mistaking our fun. We met up with her friend Tricia (and Richard) and played some mini-golf. While there a mom had a little boy tell Jess congrats which was so cute. Then we took an uber to our restaurant (Tijuana Picnic) and the food turned out to be super tasty! There was a bar next door with arcade games so we popped in there for a tiny bit to kill some time before we went to Escape the Room.

Escape the Room was really fun even though we didn't escape. Missed two locks only, so we were close! I was disappointed that there was another group placed in there with us that we had to work with. I don't know if they helped us or hurt us. The monitor did tell us that we worked really well together and that we not only solved things in a different order than most people but she was impressed that we didn't ask for our first clue until 20 minutes had passed.

After that was over we headed to a "secret" speakeasy but they were full... so we tried a couple others until we ended up in PDT which is hidden in a place called Crif Dogs. It was pretty cool I must say, would love to check out some other secret bars! Then we ended up calling it a night around midnight and got some pizza before heading home. All in all it was a successful night and I am glad she had a great time!

Day 337/365 (June 19, 2015)

Spent the morning at work, and ended up in tears because of this whole having to move thing. Honestly i feel like there is no point to my existence any more. I can't do anything and everything sucks. I feel helpless. On the way to work i discovered overnight the Build-A-Bear closed by my office, so weird!

Then I helped Sasha with a Playbill pickup and met up with Andrey at Blockheads to talk about our concert. We made some progress. I just wish he had been keeping me in the loop more consistently because stuff could have got done way sooner!

I also gave up trying to be healthy for the day because why should I even bother caring any more?

I also made a rainbow out of fondant.

Ended up having a burger from Lucky Burger for dinner and then Jess arrived.

Fred is so cute.

Day 336/365 (June 18, 2015)

Went to work and got a bunch of stuff done in a short time, then headed off to softball. I stopped in milk bar on the way to try the cornflake marshmallow chocolate chip cookie and the cereal milk ice cream. they were not the greatest sadly.

Softball was lovely. I watched Kinky Bats win and then watched Davenport until I had to go meet up with Harper. Ended up only spending a short time with her (like 2 hours) instead of the whole night. If i had been paying attention to my phone it would have been even sooner but I failed! Instead I ended up taking her to NJ when it turns out I wouldn't have had to which cost quite a bit of money and effort because I ended up taking a cab from China Town to the Path down town.

Had a nice time in cute bookstore there called Word. We looked through a Frozen book and she informed me that "my friend Santino was Hans but he is actually a nice guy even though he isn't nice in the movie" I mean how cute is that haha! She also got sad when I went to leave and clung to me and i felt so bad but also so pleased she enjoys me so much. After about 90 seconds of clinging to me she noticed a bouncy house and was like "a bouncy house, bye" and took off running!

Then I finally made my way home! I also read the book I got for Tessa called The Princess in Black because Harper (and her Dad) recommended it to me. Harper got really excited when she had seen it. I think Tessa will like it too.

Day 335/365 (June 17, 2015)

Went to work, then home and met up with Marissa to help take the goods over to Industry for the bake sale. Met some lovely people and then made my way to Party City before training.

Also because of the fires by my office ConEd ripped up the street to do some fixing and there was massive construction because of it.

It was a short session but i did a lot, then i went home and freshened up because i felt disgusting.

Marissa came over after it was over to drop off my pans. I got to try one of the other cupcakes that were made.. i had thoughts.

Day 334/365 (June 16, 2015)

After work I headed home and embarked on a 7.5 hour baking adventure. I really didn't think it would take that long and I ate way too many sugar cookies. Thankfully the sugar cookie dough i had made the night before had firmed up enough that I could roll it out and after each roll out i slowly added more flour to it... this made the cookies come out with various thickness and spread-outedness depending on when it was cut. This made them not my best sugar cookie attempt but I didn't really care because they were going on cupcakes and needed to be decorated.

Over the next several hours many dished were done, and I went on a cookie decorating rampage with some design ideas from Sasha and Karen. I made jock straps and thongs and they came out better than the boobs (complete with pasties) I made. They are for a Broadway Bares bake sale and the theme this year is tops and bottoms. I used candy melts in strategic places to imply bumps. My most scandalous decorating yet! I also made 75 mini red velvet cupcakes and frosting that once again not my best but still good. I got to the point of the night where I just didn't care anymore because i wanted it done. Did i mention i ate way too many cookies also?

I left the kitchen cleaner than when I began because I am actually good at picking up after myself.

Day 333/365 (June 15, 2015)

Spent so much time at work and I felt very productive and like I didn't get much done. I also got a call while there that the Sara Chase concert was canceled on Friday... saddened by that!

I was also asked to make something for a Broadway Bares bake sale so I am excited by the idea I have in my head, hope I can pull it off! After work I went to the cake store to look for ideas/inspiration which I found, then I went to training. Ended up only doing 30 minutes because of a scheduling snafu and I am very flexible. I used that to run to Trader Joes since I needed a few things. So my favorite employee and we chatted theater of course. Then I headed home. It was actually really nice out I almost walked home but I had too much stuff from TJ to do that so I took the subway.

While at home i made a card for somebody and made the dough for the sugar cookies I have to make tomorrow. It seemed too loose but it had been a while since i made them and the apartment was a bit hot so i didn't want to add more flour in case it was okay after chilling. I checked the dough after i went to bed.. not okay! Tomorrow i am either going to have to hope adding more flour makes it okay or make a new batch of sugar cookie dough. I hope i don't have to do that because my egg count is limited AND sugar cookies take a whole lot of flour! Potential sugar cookie fail, I don't have time for you!

Charlie at bath time.

Day 332/365 (June 14, 2015)

Woke up bright and early, before Lola came in. Then I made her chocolate chip pancakes and made myself and Sasha a pancake with a cinnamon swirl in it... yummy! After breakfast we played "pass the ball" with the friends and Lola gave them story time. I tried to actually win to help her in the learning to not be a sore loser department but i actually lost... fail! She also caught me filming her story time... oops! Then she played with some legos. We had a good sleepover with her!

Later in the evning Sasha, Karen, and I went to see Ben David in his school musical. Oh man, i saw way too much of people I didn't nee to see but he did a great job and glad we could make it out. It was at Circle in the Square and before the show started the guy who works for Circle was so cranky and yelling very angrily at people for no valid reason which was annoying. After the show was over we discovered that it was pouring rain... all 3 of us in dresses and flip flops with no umbrella. In the 4 blocks home we became drowned rats from the really cold rain.
