Day 330/365 (July 14, 2009)

ooo it was a day! after getting like no actual sleep at sasha and marty's before heading out to rush... idk why the couch is comfy and i was sleepy, i went to rush next to normal. i was of course the first person there and thankfully i feel asleep from about 8 until 9 am so it gave me a little boost!. i even finished reading the 6th harry potter book, tears! After i got the tickets i came home and took care of a few quick things (such as playing with tucker and giving emma some love) then i got ready and headed out for two separate job interviews... 

the first place i am not a fan of... it was clustered and chaotic and well i am desperate so if it happens i will take it, the second... OH MY GOODNESS! it was with a temp agency and they had me fill out paperwork that took about 40 minutes before i even got to do the interview! and my hand writing sucks so that was painful! the interview seemed pleasant and hopefully they have some job pop up for me. afterwards i headed over to sasha and she was trying to seel since she hadnt the night before so i watched more of how i met your mother until i fell asleep and got a much needed hour nap. at one point since pip was in sasha's room fred came up and nuzzled with me again... setting off my allergies, but i dont really care because i love him so much!

then i went and met with my theatre buddy at Mother Burger in the courtyard. it was my first time checking it out and it was yummy, especially the sauce when i dipped the great fries in it. then we headed over the the theatre... we had to wait in a long line to get in but always worth it. the show was great and it was fun seeing it with someone i haven't seen it with yet. then we hung around after and chatted with Kyle Dean for a bit... always happiness... then i went home.

i paid some bills and dealt with a very annoying emma who wanted my undivided attention since i left her alone all last night.

Day 329/365 (July 13, 2009)

here Pip is all snuggled in my lap

i had gotten up early to go drop off a resume and fill out an application at an office, then i came home and chilled for a bit. I took Tucker over to have a puppy playdate with Pip and ran into Ryan D. on the subway... he is just lovely to chat with. then tucker and pip played whilst sasha and i chatted (and she worked.) eventually krysta showed up for a bit and took tucker away, then marty came home and we ordered some food... i go a most delicious calzone but next time will not get the spinach because it tasted great but it was hard to bite through and was all bunching up. At one point Pip threw up on my shoulder but sasha cleaned it up all nice like

we watched some TV including Marty's How I Met Your Mother DVDs... let me tell you! i have seen a few different episodes and enjoyed them but seeing all the ones we did I LOVE IT! i need to remember to ask him to borrow them starting with season 1 so i can catch up. then we all tried and failed to go to bed. it was nice because fred came up and nuzzled with me, and even though my eye became painfully itchy and the nose was all runny it was totes worth it for some quality time! curse those allergies! lack of sleep was not cool for the day i had coming up ahead.

Day 318/365 (July 2, 2009)

I had forgotten to take my necklace off the night before, which as you can see was a BIG mistake! I am allergic to anything that is not at least 14k gold, dont ask me why, but even hypoallergenic stuff has the power to turn me red and itchy (and in my ears swollen). as long as i dont wear necklaces for more than a few hours i am fine, but a full night produced this rather itchy red bumpy patch right where the pendant dangled all night :(

the day began with nothing new just being a lump on the couch... until krysta came home. she was bit with the clean bug and it trickled to me a little bit. (although i did hang my clean clothes up after two weeks all on my own before she came home). she did a MASSIVE floor clean, i mean she swept and got down on her hands and knees and scrubbed our floor like crazy and made them so clean and smooth. i moved the green futon mattress in between my mattress and box spring and my bed is so high up i kind of have to jump a little to get on since the bed is also on bed raisers. i dont know if this is bad for my mattress though but i dont want to store the futon mattress on the floor (eww)... anywho after i did this we were able to do the thing that needed to be done most after i had discovered it late the night before. tuckers pee (since he loves to pee on my floor close to where the skanky mattress had been dwelling until we got motivated to carry it down to the garbage) had been sometimes trickling underneath the skanky mattress that was on a big piece of plastic... and even though krysta and i have been cleaning it up whenever we saw it, we didnt know some of it was pooling underneath. well we lifted it up and found a rather large amount of dog pee that had been sitting for who knows how long and explaining why i was always complaining of my room smelling like dog pee! so we laid some heavy chemicals on it and cleaned it like nobodies business and found my flip flops that i have been looking for for a wicked long time! (this story is a little TMI i guess huh?)

anywho there was some freshening up involved and i finally convinced Krysta to come to karaoke with me. we headed out and while we were waiting at 72nd street to transfer one of her teeth split in half! i learned that i can handle blood and guts and gore, but i cant handle seeing a split tooth held in hand! shivers just thinking about it, but we went to karaoke anyway.

it was a fun night in TOL and the new sound system is so fierce you feel the stage vibrate underneath you! i had lots of fun singing and chatting with everyone there. especially Michael (one of the many rockin' box office guys), Patrick, Joey, someone i havent seen in ages and i cant remember her name because i suck at that, gabe, and zach. (other peeps too). two sets of people even sang *NSYNC which made me very happy and dakota even told me i am getting and sounding better at the karaoke :D (josh even swung by for a hot second). i would also like to point out that Patrick is one of my fave NWS employees... he is such a fun and sweet person!

we ended up staying out pretty late and after we got home and walked tucker a tiny bit it was like 2 am! i really needed a night of fun where i forgot about my down mood. and i ran into kyle post on the way into NWS, so i mean really? that was a pleasant surprise! and i got was paid another lovely compliment by someone else and made more plans to see n2n. i even only had one moment of "oh i shouldn't have said that" well at least in front of one particular person who i dont exactly trust and i dont think actually likes me... but hopefully she wont bring it up to anyone in particular... crossies?

Day 259/365 (May 4. 2009)

Dawn arrived from Canada via her trip from LA!!!! I dont remember everything we did, but i know that we went to Sasha's and spent some time with her and Fred and Pip and Nick. (i can't remember if matthew was there.

Pip and Fred were having lots of fun playing with each other and i wish i had been able to take a few more pictures! my allergies also flared up which was not so cool but some good medicine kicked it back into gear!

Then Dawn and I headed over to see Altar Boyz. I had made sure to get her an aisle seat close to the front (front row actually) and before the show started i looked around and there was only one other person with pull potential so i had a 50/50 shot of having my evil plan work... it totally did! She was pulled up onstage during Something About You and as michael extended his hand to her she looked at me and said "i hate you" yea that was a great moment haHA!

It was just really nice seeing it with her because she had never seen it before so when she laughed and all that stuff it was natural and reminded me of how much i love seeing the show and that was pretty hip! the last few times i have seen it i mean i liked it but it just sort of felt like i was there for a reson (which i was) and not because i wanted to see it, so it was nice to watch it and have total fun and not playing little games i have created in my head to make the show go faster. (this is why i had taken my hiatus from seeing it, i loved it too much to end up hating it... it helped with rent, and it helped with this). 

i know a big part of our random time together we spent looking for a bag for Dawn.

Day 214/365 (March 20, 2009)

Hope left at almost 5 in the morning to head to the airport to go to London for the week! Then I chatted with Krysta for a bit before I went back to sleep. I woke up with a really bad headache and an achy throat… but the throat was from lots of singing and screaming last night. So I made tea with honey and my throat felt better, but my allergies are flaring up from having two different kitties taking turns sleeping on my chest. If only my headache would go away!

I have also been watching charmed and fighting a really depressive mood. I usually am never a down in the dumps type of person so it scares me when I am feeling really sad. I also realized i was feeling sick, and not just  little sick but deathly ill sick. I still wanted to go to Mostly Sondheim but i finally realized that going out would be a really bad idea. i ended up going to bed 
fairly early for myself.

Day 213/365 (March 19, 2009)

I went grocery shopping; I baked, and got ready to go out. After I dropped off some cookies I spent some time walking around times square pretending to be a tourist and even walked up the TKTS steps and then because I was just chilling by my lonesome I became like the official photographer for a bunch of people. Then I went to visit Sasha and Pip. I also discovered the popcorn store was no more :(

I spent lots of time there and it was nice and at one point Pip ran a marathon my face and stuck his paw in my mouth and then licked my face. This resulted in a very red/splotchy/itchy face. Sasha let me use her face wash and it stopped itching but took a little while for the redness to go away. Eventually I had to leave to meet Hope at starbucks and then we headed over to NWS/TOL to do some karaoke.

It was so crowded there because there are now three shows going on and it was lots of fun singing and I even got Hope into the action! Then we went home and went to sleep before she had to leave. I also left TOL with quite a feeling of OH NO, but luckily Sasha helped me feel better about that via a text conversation.
