Day 129/365 (November 23, 2014)

Surprisingly wasn't sore from all that jumping yesterday! I got up early, made pumpkin waffles with apple cider syrup, and met Ally to go "meet Barnum" (the dog from Pippin) at Macy's. It was so funny because when we got there we were told we were not allowed to touch Barnum, and they handed out a rules sheet that said it twice.There was actually a decent line and I watched as everyone in line stood next to him and he was the perfect trained dog posing on his pillow at attention. Then when it was my turn and he saw me he abandoned his post and went after me sniffing, like hey pet me pet me. I was like I'm sorry they said I couldn't touch you and his owner looked over at me and was like oh ts you, you can pet him! so i gave him some TLC and then she was like I will have him stand up for your picture, he loves his fans... LOL I am apparently recognized by Broadway dogs as well. Then i went with Ally to a diner and was actually good!

Then it was home for some quality Lola time. She was very much into how boys stink and girls are great so she kept making signs that said Boys Stink and drew pictures of Sasha's vynlmation mice pretty well with stories. She also made me a necklace and told me the story of pregga nona with an Italian accent. We dealt with more leaky ceiling stuff when we noticed the wall by our pots and pans rack was also leaking. I also made cake balls, yum!

Day 83/365 (October 8, 2014)

I started the day off in a pretty cranky mood, but luckily while I was (again) rushing Pippin there were two people behind me in line that helped me become not so cranky. I then went to work for a bit and to the gym again. I came home and made brown butter for te first time, showered, and then got Charlie ready to take to the vet. I ended up getting there way too early because I was dreading a disaster getting him into the carrier by myself but I ended up doing it in a smart way that meant it took m ten minutes from getting Charlie in the thing to getting him to the vet on 26th St!

While walking home from the gym I passed good old Betsey Johnson which I still stomp on to this day from the scavenger hunt years ago, and the Nederlander was having a load in

Then I came home and ate some quick food before heading out to see Pippin. The show was enjoyable as usual, but two moments that stood out were when Barnum came out something was wrong with the fur on his head and it looked like he had a Mohawk... i snorted it was so cute/funny! Also during the scene after Glory when the war has ended as Ari was checking "the bodies" i saw her stab her sword down and say "just die" well I just about lost it, so funny... wonder if that happens every night or not?

Chatted with KDM post show for a bit then headed home, but before he came out I was off to the side leaning on a pole and there was a cop on a horse sort of close by. I was playing on my phone and felt something nibbling my arm... i turned and saw the horse nibbling my arm! The police officer was like ahh I'm so sorry as he pulled him away. I didn't mind, the horse was very cute and it was nice to be appreciated when I didn't have a bag of peaches with me, like that day at the farm!

Day 66/365 (September 21, 2014)

Oh Boy oh boy! today was non other than "Broadway Christmas" aka the BC/EFA Flea Market which also serves as a reunion day where you run into so many people you know and love (or ones you try to avoid).

It started out early so I could peruse the tables and give them a once over. The thing I wanted the most was from the Pippin table. It was one of the Charlemagne pictures that pippin throws knives at signed by KDM and John Dosset. It started off way too highly priced but by the end of the day it came down to just the right amount and I got it!. I also got a picture with Barnum (dog in Pippin) wearing his circus collar. That dog is far too cute! I also won tickets to On The Town from the TDF Pik a Tik! I have never won tickets from there before, and got a Rent flyer with Joey Fatone on it and the Rent Bible (aka hardcover book). I spent the majority of the day stalking the Pippin table waiting for the price to drop otherwise I just popped in and out of the market throughout the day but here are some of my memorable moments:

-Ran into Caleb D. at the Cabaret table... it is always nice to see his smiling face!
-Ran into Todd Buonopane at the Cinderella table, since I missed seeing him Thursday after the show it was especially nice to chat with him
-Running into BC/EFA Frank a few times, and him showing me his The Little Mermaid pelican head purchase
-Ran into Haven Burton as she was leaving the autograph table. It was nice to catch up with her since it has been ages and also nice hearing her say how great I looked
-Ran into Neil while he was trying to sell raffle tickets to win tickets to Cinderella while he was decked head to tow in Buffalo Bills clothing (you know typical for this crowd lol)
-James Snyder was at the IF/THEN table for a bit and when he saw me he winked... my heart may have melted a touch
-I was standing by the Mamma Mia area and one of the cast members ran out to the table for a few moments in costume during the show and had to be corralled back in (blurry photo above)
-i tried to cross Shubert Alley as the it turns out the next way of celebrity autograph table people were taking their post and the crowd was parted waiting for them to walk by as if they were waiting for some major celebrity like The Beatles or something
-Just fun with some of my favorite people

By the end of the night I was exhausted beyond belief but it was all worth it and I even did two loads of laundry and cleaned up my room!

I would say the only negative part of the day was concerning Mark. It is a real shame when someone you were close to reacts to seeing you like they couldn't be bothered and wants to get away from you as soon as possible for no reason at all. Whatever I won't let someone else's problem affect my happiness.
