Day 339/365 (June 21, 2015)

Considering the late night last night I wok up way earlier than planned. After breakfast I headed to the cake store/michaels/trader joes. Then it was home! I finished decorating Lola's birthday card, finished making the cutie marks out of chocolate, and did some concert prep. Sadly the cutie marks turned out to be a major fail!

Sasha and I also watched (well I rewatched) Orange is the New Black during the day and at night I watched my Netflix DVD. I am still struggling with my life right now.

Charlie loves a good bag, and Fred loves when the couch is set up like a bed.

Day 333/365 (June 15, 2015)

Spent so much time at work and I felt very productive and like I didn't get much done. I also got a call while there that the Sara Chase concert was canceled on Friday... saddened by that!

I was also asked to make something for a Broadway Bares bake sale so I am excited by the idea I have in my head, hope I can pull it off! After work I went to the cake store to look for ideas/inspiration which I found, then I went to training. Ended up only doing 30 minutes because of a scheduling snafu and I am very flexible. I used that to run to Trader Joes since I needed a few things. So my favorite employee and we chatted theater of course. Then I headed home. It was actually really nice out I almost walked home but I had too much stuff from TJ to do that so I took the subway.

While at home i made a card for somebody and made the dough for the sugar cookies I have to make tomorrow. It seemed too loose but it had been a while since i made them and the apartment was a bit hot so i didn't want to add more flour in case it was okay after chilling. I checked the dough after i went to bed.. not okay! Tomorrow i am either going to have to hope adding more flour makes it okay or make a new batch of sugar cookie dough. I hope i don't have to do that because my egg count is limited AND sugar cookies take a whole lot of flour! Potential sugar cookie fail, I don't have time for you!

Charlie at bath time.

Day 266/365 (April 9, 2015)

Cold it is so cold still! I accidentally stepped on Charlie this morning and I hurt him enough he was scared to go near me until i captured him and snuggled... then I was forgiven and thankfully I didn't hurt him too badly.

After work I headed to the cake store and Michaels/Trader Joes. I can't have nice things. I bought a platter in Michaels and less than a minute later broke it walking into Trader Joes.

Then I headed home and made a yummy dinner with mushrooms, ricotta cheese, and black bean dip. Set up our new motion sensor garbage can.

I went to go check my email to see the Rats you lost something rotten loot only to see Yay! you've won the Something Rotten lotto. I was so excited. I haven;t been this excited to see a show in a long time and it did not disappoint. I laughed so much that my throat started to hurt and want to see it again!

It was nice to see the BO guy at the St. James. We ended up with great seats too. It was nice to say hi to Austin after and he noticed my weight loss and gave me a nice compliment... and Caleb was there too so it was nice to see him briefly. I waited at the Stage Door for a while then went home... but got a cute picture with Christian Borle.

Day 220/365 (February 22, 2015)

I was productive!

I did laundry, got myself to the gym, went to the cake store and trader joe's. I even popped in NWS to find out of the Green Room would be open on Sunday.

Then I watched the Oscar's with Karen and Sasha since I was outvoted... man they lasted forever!

We also tried to torture Charlie with a banana but it didn't work.

I found a fun street art on my errand run about kitties, and Fred was extra cute today and Charlie tried to eat my hair.

Day 105/365 (October 30, 2014)

Today turned into a crazy busy day because of the fact I am going to be selling baked goods at a Halloween party! The morning started with a brainstorming sessions with Sasha about what my Halloween costume would be for the party since I don't want to wear my Alice costume... well it tuned into what I think will b e my baking company name... The Sugar Fairy! its all about the Faith, Trust, and Disco dust!

I went to work and before I left I made my extensive shopping list and to do list for supplies. Then after work I set off to accomplish all tasks. I went to the cake store, and to Michael;s an to Trader Joe's. I came home and began my baking explosion... 3 batches of the pumpkin snickerdoodles and 2 red velvet cakes. I did laundry and accidentally shrunk my apron for the costume, so improvised with a shirt. I wrapped all the snickerdoodle cookies individually and did most of my list!

Day 97/365 (October 22, 2014)

I woke up to Fred cuddled on my shoulder/head and Charlie on my feet. It was a very cold and rainy day! I finally reached a point where I decided it is time to start trying to sell my baked goods. I need a name! I put the word out to Marty T and Ellyn and both have already helped a bunch! I have my first official order and also got a whole bunch of ideas. I am a little excited/nervous at the thought of it, but I know I need to come up with a more formalized plan to actually be able to promote myself.

After work I headed to the gym and then went down to the cake store and michael's. I am helping someone with their Halloween costume so I went with her to go pick up fabric dye and a t-shirt... fingers crossed I am successful! While I was out I was in Old Navy in Chelsea and on the escalator I thought about "just kidding" as I usually do on escalators and to my complete surprise i looked up and in lights it said "Just Kidding" i have no idea why but I died of laughter. I couldn't get the picture to take quick enough as I went up so sorry about cutting off the G! Walked around a bunch despite the yucky weather and then I went home. I was quite productive! I did a whole bunch of laundry, reorganized my up high storage and brought stuff down i will be needing shortly, changed the boys' litter boxes, dishes, and began packing for my quick trip to MA. Now tomorrow I will only have to organize a few more things.

I am calling it an early night since I am rushing Pippin tomorrow!

PS the cake store had sparklers for cakes.... I WANT!

Day 364/365 (August 17, 2009)

What an exhausting and hot morning! i got up and headed to the cake store to buy the outrageously overpriced chocolate i need to make satan's balls. the customer service at that store is so bad. i asked a simple question and when they finally answered it they did so in a way that gave off a "why are you asking me this question you stupid moron" type of vibe. then i came back tot he apartment and grabbed my laundry. i brought it home and put it away, helped unsuccessfully to find emma and got milk up and through my nose. emma is missing from our apartment. this means she left through one of the open (barred) windows. there is thankfully no kitty splat on the ground under any of the windows but i am extremely worried because she isnt exactly an adventurous cat and she must be terrified right now because she is missing us and has no way of getting back home. krysta has gone to check with the shelters to see if she is there, so i emailed her pictures of emma. good thing i take obsessive amounts of pictures of the animals in my life!

i am also just hanging with the puppy for a little while before i eventually end up at sashas before i get up early tomorrow morning.

the next errand i ran was to sashas to drop off as much of my stuff as possible and then after cooling down for a bit with the help of her AC and chatting i finally headed back to kims. i am now finishing up laundry and got a phone call from "my" temp agency. it seems they avent forgotten about me and are trying to set up an interview for me.

Even though i wanted nothing more than to be done with my 365 project when i was one picture away (this one) from completing it i waited until after midnight to snap a picture of the glorious washer and drier that has been so good to me! (seriously i spent close to 6 hours (or maybe even more) working on this project and i cant wait for everyone to see it! this picture may not be the highest quality it could have been but i needed it to fit the project just right, and this will do it! This also means that even though i had a full day of busy activities and would like to add another picture i cannot do that, so we will live with this! i am also very saddened because when i printed my 365 project i found a mistake i made on it and one picture is covering me :( on the first picture in my 365 blog! but i mean when you look at it the liklihood of anyone noticing this problem is very slim unless you are me and know about it (and well you just read this though i still suspect you might have a hard time spotting the mistake... i am just so infuriated by it and i could have fixed it and printed again but for such a tiny thing it would have been a waste of ink and photo paper although now that i think about it maybe it would not have been because i could have framed it because the mre i think about it the more i think that would be cool to do... hmm... but i cant reprint it in time now and if i am sure i wont allow myself to reprint another one that is fixed because it would not be the same one that was used in the end... DARN MY OCD!!!!

Day 289/365 (June 3, 2009)

this was how i found emma when i woke up for reals this morning. Before i fell asleep emma did the cutest thing, she came up along side my body, flung herself onto me, curled her head on my arm, and then wound her body down the rest of my arm, then purred like crazy while i pet her. i kept waking up in the middle of the night and i guess this morning i finally had my share of joni mitchell... i am sorry but i dont think her voice is all that great and dont understand the attraction people seem to have for her music.

an idea forms, plotting and planning: a while back emily sent me a link for hunter bell's tony award cake recipe. i read it and laughed but felt as if it were a challenge. i am not saying i am going to attempt to make it, but i will say that i just spent the better part of an hour figuring out a way to modify his directions so that if i do it wont fall over. and mine would be more like it, since his recipe seems to lack the middle part the plaque actually goes on... it just means if i do make this it would be bigger than life size and i need and impressive dowel that will be big enough to go through the cookie and the cake and down below what the cake will be on so it wont fall over. i figure if i do it it will either be a photo op for hunter bell or a photo op for cake wrecks! (http://www.titleofshow.com/blog/index.php?itemid=1736)

i left the apartment and met up with krysta to drop off tucker, then i headed for some cake related errands. i found some great things and bought supplies at home depot... how hardcore is that? anywho i also brainstormed another idea i might do instead of using the black and white cookie. i also got glitter gel and it looks so cool but since i got special sugar i am afraid it might not show up, or it might drip... oh well, i look forward to this challenge!

it began to rain and i was getting soaked so i was glad to get home and change into dry clothes and am now wasting the night away!
