Day 358/365 (July 10, 2015)

Was at work almost the entire day which was not the plan, then went to run some errands. I popped into a GNC, Michaels, Harmon Cosmetics, and Trader Joe's. Went home and put food away then I went to the kinky boots lotto. I wanted to see the show since Jake was on as Charlie but i don't like the lotto seats so much, so I was torn. I met up with Holly who was definitely trying and she knew i was coming but she still only put down for 1 ticket so i read her the riot act and was like you always always always put down for two tickets no matter what.

I did end up winning but decided to just get the ticket for Holly because I knew the seat would be in the box and there is no point going to see the show if you can't see half of it. Then I went with her to the evil cookie place while she ate a cookie which was torture. lovely convo with her but i wanted a cookie so badly and i remained strong. Also ran into Zach and Brian. Then Anna took her break and I went for more torture with her and Holly while they ate pizza for dinner. It hurt being strong and not giving into temptation but it was nice to chat with them.

Then i went home and had dinner and worked on some arts and crafts for the wedding... different rainbow options.

I made super yummy cauliflower fried rice.

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 331/365 (June 13, 2015)

Woke up earlier than I would have liked but what can ya do?! I tracked Sasha's 10K race and made an omelette for breakfast. Then I showered. When Sasha got back we started to watch another episode of Orange is the new black but we got a surprise when Ellyn brought Lola over very early! Good thing we were home. Needless to say we stopped watching it. After a bit I popped over to help Holly and Anna with Hedwig lotto, then rushed back home. Ellyn came back and we talked Lola's party. I am sad we will be missing it but glad I will be in NH with my family. I am still mating her cake though so I hope that it still tastes good the day of her party!

Then we had some fun with Lola and she worked on making a calendar for me. Then we tried very hard to convince her to not go with Sasha but failed, so Karen and I had a quiet evening. I fell asleep finally trying to watch the Game. Lola also played with the window markers and made herself as a mermaid in an underwater sea castle. Lola also toppled Sasha and Karen.

Fred is so cute.

Day 330/365 (June 12, 2015)

Despite my fun evening out last night I still managed to get up and go to the office early! Got to the street just about 8:45 to discover that it was closed off because there was a transformer fire close by. The fire department had said originally that we could get onto the street in like 15-30 minutes. Around 9:45 with no sign of change I finally went home. I finished Pinkie Pie and did a few other tings before visiting Anna at her first shift (training) at the evil cookie place, then off to training... oops! There was a cute puppy on the way back!

Travis kicked my butt at training and then I went to Trader Joe's and back home. Finally i headed back to the office and made sure to leave out money for the cleaning lady... they had only opened the street up around 3:30! and our building just barely made the cut because it was roped off right after our door so the restaurant couldn't even get back in! I made my stuffed peppers again, yum!

Then I went back home and Sasha and I watched the first episode of season 3 of Orange Is The New Black.

Day 329/365 (June 11, 2015)

Oh my gosh the morning was crazy! Ted had a bee in his bonnet or something but he kept asking me for different things like every 5 seconds so it was hard to put the information together with constant distractions. Then an old co-worker came in and it was nice to see him, but then I ran off for Softball.

I watched part of Curious Incident vs. Kinky Boots because I chatted with some familiar faces, then went over to watch the Les Miz vs. whoever they played game. Poor Penski wasn't feeling well so she wasn't playing so I got to chat with her which was nice, but OMG it was so hot, sweat was dripping down my legs where they were crossed and I was in the shade!

After the game ended I puttered in the park a bit waiting for the next game to start. Went to watch Davenport vs. I don't remember who. The girl from last week (Megan) was also there to watch so we chatted. The game was close and they had to have an extra inning before they thankfully won!

Then I went home and laid down because the heat was so overwhelming, I don't know how they all survived playing the heat!

Then i went out because there was a "Something Rotten" event at the Renaissance Hotel that was a complete sham/waste of my time. It was not a cast performance but the staff of the hotel performing the opening song with choreography and lip syncing. The good news was I found out I was seeing Something Rotten that night while there so I guess it wasn't too bad!

Got home again and showered then met up with Anna and Holly to kill some time before I met up with Neil to see Something Rotten. We were so close but I think of the front row seats A 103/104 are probably the best because of the shape of the stage. After seeing the show a second time I definitely do love it. so so much! I also finally had a moment of Christian Borle really does have incredible arms.

After the show Neil and I headed to Smith's Bar for a bit. Hadn't been in since it reopened. It was pretty nice until the very and because a live band started laying so it was hard to hear. All in all it was a lovely evening and I am so happy it worked out that way!

Day 324/365 (June 6, 2015)

Got up on the earlier side and headed for a walk downtown to Michaels, Burlington Coat Factory, and Trader Joes. While on my way Paula texted me telling me that Dennis was in a play tonight and tomorrow if I wanted to come. This sent me into a torn tailspin about what to do because I had plans this whole weekend and wanted to go support him, I wish I had known sooner because I would have factored that in. In the end I decided that i wasn't going out to New Rochelle that night because of selfish reasons, but i was looking forward to my dinner plans and needed to do that video for Coleen and Jess, and it would be tiring to go out there.

When I got home I helped Sasha with more flower stuff and eventually headed over to Hedwig to shoot my video. thankfully it turned out well despite all the people there.

Then it was a quick change and I went to help Holly and Anna with Kinky Boots lotto... they got in thankfully! Then we went to the evil cookie place for a while and finally i went home and cooked dinner. Christian Borle came in while we were there. I made shishito peppers for the first time... it was a success... hello new food obsession!

After dinner since it was so nice out i went out with Sasha for a run, only after about 1.7 miles I had to walk back because my back started to spasm and it hurt really bad!

Stuff on Fred and Charlie fighting for room on the table amidst the flower explosion!

Day 317/365 (May 30, 2015)

Woke up on the earlier than usual for a Saturday and decided to go for a run. It started off okay weather wise but by the time i was almost done it became so hot/humid I didn't think I was going to make it... but i did get myself to do 3.1 miles in 40 minutes on my own! The first 4 minutes i ran .5 mile without stopping! Then I came home and had to shower because I was a sweaty disgusting mess!

Then Hope, Sasha, Karen and I walked downtown to to the cake store/Michaels before walking back up to meet Lola. Lola was amused finding Charlie in one of my clothing drawers and Fred was being a cat and enjoying Sasha's laundry hamper.

Had a wonderful time with Lola per usual. While Sasha and Karen crafted we did the vote (poor boys don't stand a chance) we did a Derblin story/show, she sang me a song, and played hot potato with the friends. She also named my new runicorn Isabella. Shewas pleased with the job of doing that.

After she left I went to help Dom/Anna with the Hedwig lotto, then puttered around with them for a bit before bringing some leftover cupcakes to Penski and eating 1.5 myself.

Fred's new spot to hang is the bathroom floor because of the cool tile and Charlie was not pleased I was giving Fred attention so this is the shot of him trying to knock my phone out of my hand.

I ended the night sort of early because I had a really bad headache.

Day 312/365 (May 25, 2015)

I had a lay morning, and spent part of it looking out the window with Fred. Then I got my act together and met up with Sasha and Karen at The Running Store where I ended up buying very expensive new sneakers but I am giving the running thing a try and they made my feet feel unlike they have ever felt before! Special thank to the awesome Tom who helped me. Then I met up with Holly and Anna and we had a picnic in the park. It was lovely! Ran into Penski there, then we went to Columbus Circle and they did some shopping. Also I bought the tiniest popcorn at Whole Foods called Pipcorn, and it was rosemary flavored and so freaking good!

Then we walked to the evil cookie place for Broadway Bakes for Laura Osnes and Corey Cott.

Found Charlie sitting on/in his folded down tub, if it fits it sits!

I also baked some peanut butter cookies for a bribe fulfillment.

Day 311/365 (May 24, 2015)

I got up and headed to run an errand before meeting up with Holly and Anna to hep them with the Hedwig lotto. It turns out they were off by an hour so I ran to drop off Broadway Hunger Game bribes at Matilda, Jersey Boys, and The Book of Mormon, then back to them. (had a lovely conversation with Christine inside JB for a bit which was nice.) While helping with the lotto I got a few people to make videos in support of Jake! Then we went to the evil cookie place and after I went to Times Square/the TKTS steps and found people to make videos as well. Later on i went to the Kinky Boots Stage Door and got a bunch of people to make videos! All using the sign i made the night before with the glittery logo I was proud of! The sad thing is I forgot to put my vivo smart on so all the walking in the morning didn't register :(

Later on I got a Jersey Boys support picture, so yay success!

Eventually Kayleigh, Sasha, Karen and I went out for a run, which was nice after the wonky start. If I had been wearing my band all day i would have exceeded the step goal for the day but instead it looks like i failed majorly! womp womp. Then Karen, Kayleigh, and I went to get ice cream... yum!

Day 301/365 (May 14, 2015)

After i headed home to relax a bit, then met up with Brandon to get my memory card back and took off in pursuit of new clothes. Always a daunting task for me. Let me tell you I found all these cute dresses in the Adam Levine line but couldn't get any of them because they don't account for the fact that girls might have larger than a B cup... I was crushed. I did find two dresses at Old Navy eventually, though I really only like one of them. Then I met up with Holly and Anna to help with Hedwig lotto. After I went to meet up with Andrey. After a run into Midtown Comics we went to the evil cookie place. I finally tried the corny cowboy (corn cookie with jalapeno and cheddar cheese and bacon) and let me tell you new favorite! Then I went home and after dinner I helped Sasha rip covers off of "playbills" for a project. Eventually i forced myself outside after 11 pm to go for a brief walk to hit the step goal for the day, and then BED!

I also copied Lola's book and bound a printed copy of it.

Day 298/365 (May 11, 2015)

Went to work, then headed to Central Park for the Shout Olympics. Man oh man was today hot and muggy! I need new clothes because I was melting! Had some fun in Sheep Meadow failing at Hula hooping, then I headed home. I made sure i was ready for filming tonight and resisted the urge to bake. Then I headed over to Birdland to film the Apollo Link concert. I got lucky and they gave me a rock star spot but the stupid Birdland people made do the table minimum even though I didn't ask to sit there but there wasn't time to complain so I let Holly and Anna order a dessert because i couldn't eat anything from their menu... it pained me to see the beautiful cheesecake but i was proud of myself for not giving into temptation!

I chatted with them until the show began. The show was wonderful and much tighter than last week's show. I could listen to them sing for hours they are so ridiculously talented. Also ran into someone I know from a rush line so it was nice to chat with him for a bit.

At one point during the day i got a score of just over a million in tsum tsum and i was very proud of myself!

Charlie also got all up in my business per usual!
