Day 195/365 (March 1, 2009)

I had lots of fun on March 1. It was Altar Boyz' 4th Anniversary and i also had an invite to the Party at Hooters. I spent the morning making and putting together Altar Boyzopoly. It was great seeing everyone and the show was fun and the cake looked, but didn't taste, amazing.

The actual post of the day will be in my LiveJournal if we are friends... but as of March 5 i haven't written that post yet.

unfortunately i needed to charge my camera battery and FORGOT to put it back in the camera before i left so on what was one of the most important picture days i didnt have a camera and this was the only picture i took with my phone

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 173/365 (February 7, 2009)

The day started so early! i got up at like 6:30 to get ready and by 7:30 Michelle, Mark, Nicole, and myself were on our way to see Les Miz. The roadtrip was kind of nice because i ended up falling asleep for more than half the trip and so it went very quickly (thanks to Mark for driving and Michelle for being co-pilot).  We passed through DC and made our way into Arlington, VA where the Signature Theater is and met up with one of Michelle's friends who joined us. We also had lunch at Johnny Rocket's which was really fun and i loved the smiley face made out of ketchup!

We finally went in to see Les Miz, which is one of the shows i really don't like and it takes a special reason for me to sit through it. The Javert was way to angry and i had some problems with a few of the cast but there were also a few that were really spectacular! Andrew Call was just incredible. I have seen him sing before but in pop-y type things and this was the first time i heard him sing a traditional broadway type thing and his voice was flawless, and he acted the part so well.  I was also excited to see James Gardiner perform and he did a great job too.

We spoke with Andrew for a bit and i got my Glory Days poster signed by James, so now it is complete and once again hanging up in my living room. Then we headed off to check into our hotel, the Holiday Inn. It was a nice place and mark gave me my christmas gift which was "make your own opoly" so that will become Altar Boyzopoly. We brainstormed ideas and headed off to the mall to kill some time and get some dinner. It ended up being a pretty early night for us and we were all asleep by 10:30 (well i was everyone else was out by 10).
