Day 119/365 (November 13, 2014)

It was a low key day, i went to work an got food from Trader Joe's so I wouldn't starve. I was beyond exhausted from all the travels. I go more quality cuddle time with Fred and Charlie and thankfully Jo Ann was not upset with postponing our date night because the thought of moving was too much. I stumbled on the Alice in Wonderland quote and Judge Judy ad.

Day 107365 (November 1, 2014)

It was the day of the party. It was also not so much a good day and a good one at the same time.  I started by doing cake ball prep and then my mom called to say Nana wasn't doing too well and they thought she might die at any moment. Needless to say I was pretty upset. She ended up slipping into a coma later in the day. I feel so helpless and torn, but I don't handle emotions very well so I find it best to turn them off and compartmentalize. Luckily the party provided a good distraction. I made the chai cake balls and had fun splattering them with colors like Sasha wanted. Sasha and Karen did an excellent job of turning our apartment into Wonderland. I really remarkable job! The boys even dressed up, well Fred had a few costume changes, Charlie wasn't as cooperative but I love my behind the scenes shot of a kitty costume photo shoot! They even got Lola to record quotes from the book in her British accent and had it play in between the background music... donezo!

we played mao, psychiatrist, mafia, and just had a really fun time. Hope's white rabbit costume was AMAZING, as was Laura's Cheshire cat makeup. I enjoyed being Alice in Wonderland and Monique was Alice also, haha. I think me chasing Hope is one of the greatest pictures! I did stuff my face with all of the wonderful food... the macarons (those burger things) were a hit as were the cake balls. Sasha couldn't wait to try the macarons.

Day 69/365 (September 24, 2014)

Last night I fell asleep before midnight which was very unusual and much needed, since tonight will be a late evening go to see Then She Fell... It is done by the same people who put on Sleep No More except this is an Alice in Wonderland theme. We are going for Karen's birthday activity... I really hope I like it but I have zero desire to see it... actually less than zero desire. I hated Sleep No More with a fiery passion and would rather have not spent so much money on a ticket to this but it is for her birthday so I will go and am hoping to be pleasantly surprised. This theme is better than Macbeth and there are less people allowed in so maybe it will be a better experience.

Had a sucky end to my work day which made my efforts at the gym useless. I tried to work through hoping it would boost my spirits, but sadly it did not so I went home and baked a storm. I made warm apple pie bread and "brookies" which are half chocolate chip cookie/half brownie. Sadly the brownie part of it did not turn out as well as I would like. It doesn't taste bad, it just has no taste in my opinion, but I wold make them again with improvements to the brownie half. I also have no idea how the bread turned out because you can't give someone a partially eaten loaf of bread, so I will await feedback from whomever I give it to! It was pretty easy to make, and I hope it tastes as great as it smelled!

Then She Fell... eh. I mean it was more enjoyable than Sleep No More but honestly I didn't like it. I just don't get the concept of immersive theatre like that and I hate being separated from my friends and not allowed to talk while no one else is talking either. Some of the elements were fun but most just dragged on and on doing the same thing.
