Day 304/365 (May 17, 2015)

Got up super early and bought new flip flops then grabbed the car and went out to New Rochelle for Clare's surprise golden birthday party. I helped Paula and Winnie set up and I won't lie my favorite part was not setting up all the candy that I sampled too much of, it was sprinkling glitter all over the tables! (I should note on the way i hit some minor traffic and if i had left even 60 seconds earlier i would have avoided it because i could see what was causing the traffic... man oh man!)

Her party was a great success! They served delicious virgin mimosas (since it was brunch) and then we had warm yummy pastries, fruit, fluffy pancakes, and her birthday cake... and you know more candy! There was Clare themed trivia and just a lovely time. Finally I headed off to target quickly then back home.

I decided last minute to go help get support for Jake in the Broadway Hunger Games so I made a glitter sign, used my hair drier to speed the process (which totally worked) and headed out to drum up some support. I got more people than I thought I would, so I was pleased by that! He even made a video of me to post.... it was funny because he was trying to tell me what to do and I was like oh you have no idea how crazy i can get! Then i went off to Food Emporium to pick up the last few things I needed that o forgot to get at Target.

On my way back i ran into the annoying food cart guy by my office that i try to avoid. he flagged me down, turns out he lives ACROSS THE STREET FROM ME what are the odds? oof!

Made the yummy broccoli and tofu stir-fry again! After dinner i used iMovie n my phone for the first time to successfully make and post the video!

Day 303/365 (May 16, 2015)

I did not sleep very well... i kept waking up every hour or so. Finally got out of bed shortly after 10 and felt like crap, so I decided to have a lazy morning. Lola ended up coming over much to our surprise any way and we had some fun times with her. Sasha took her car to bring Lola back so I went with. It is a good thing she is good at keeping herself entertained because we encountered some cray psycho traffic. It took us just about an hour to get from the garage to the entrance to the Lincoln tunnel. I mean it took about 40 minutes alone just to travel like 5 streets on 9th! I took a picture of the trip stats at one point and it was saying our average speed was 1 mph... that is probably because it can't do fractions.... so out of control!

Then we got the best mani/pedis at this place called Nails and I on Newark St in Jersey City... I cannot fully described how much it rocked and how beautiful my feet look now!

Then we went to Trader Joes and I came home and made a super yummy broccoli and tofu stir-fry.

Day 229/365 (March 3, 2015)

Fred is working my last nerve. I slept for almost 8 hours and it didn't feel like I had slept at all when I woke up to his crying again, He also started to knock stuff down off my shelves. I don't know why he has backtracked and we need this to stop because I can't take it! It is torturous to sit through him crying but I don't want to get up because he will think crying will get him what he wants... vicious cycle!

Another long day at work and I had a mini melt down because it started to snow again... I cannot take it anymore!

Then I headed to Trader Joe's and eventually home where I made stuffed peppers using cauliflower for rice and mushrooms instead of beef. While they were cooking I got asked if I wanted a free ticket to see It's Only A Play... I found out at 6:36 for a 7 pm curtain. So i took a quick shower and told Karen when to take it out of the oven and ran to the theatre with a few minutes to spar. The show was pretty funny but not as great as I was expecting based on what people have said. The guy who is the only non'star Micah Stock is absolutely hilarious! His Defying Gravity moment sealed the deal! I was so hungry during the show though, and as soon as it was over I ran home and stuffed my face... it was delicious!

Day 34/365 (August 20, 2014)

I ended up being at work way later than I was planning on and that totally messed up my plan for the day but it ended up being a good thing. I went to Trader Joe's and when I came home I found Marty there! I tried out a new Zucchini pesto recipe (I made pesto for the first time ever) and gave Penski my leftover cupcakes... then when Sasha came home we all went out for a bit with Karen too. It is always fun when Marty is around and then we spent more time at home before he left... Fred loves to sniff things and this wine really made his nose go crazy.

I also tried my new princess goldfish and Lola was over for about half an hour.

Day19/365 (August 5, 2014)

Long day at work, couldn't wait to get home! I spent the night working on tasks that needed to be done before leaving for Maine. I also made a buffalo chicken enchilada lasagna thingy and while I was doing that the boys (Fred and Charlie) were being so cute I just had to take a picture. I just want to be in Maine already! I also finally watched The Normal Heart on HBO... heartbreaking!

Day 17/365 (August 3, 2014)

I was very productive today! I did all of my laundry (3 loads) and cleaned my room, made some peaches and cream popsicles with honey and chia seeds. They were in my new sailboat molds! I also went on an arts and crafts binge and made quite a few fun cards. I even made a chicken enchilada lasagna for dinner that was so yummy and am already looking forward to eating the leftovers tomorrow night! Fred decided to nap on my mountain of cean laundry, and Charie passed out in my arts and crafts drawer.

I had issues getting the pictures from my phone so they are screen caps
