Day 343/365 (June 25, 2015)

Went to work, then caught the Davenport softball game. They were playing On the 20th... which turns out Andy Karl is on the team... that was fun to watch. Turns out no Lola, then I headed home and got myself ready for the Big Brother Premiere!

I got myself to Hoboken with no troubles and met up with Danielle and Sasha (not my roomie). It was at the Wicked Wolf which was a cut bar on the waterfront with a great view of the city. The night was so fun. We watched house guest play beer pong, had a little dance party with rachel and brandon and Zach. Cody and Derrick were there along with Chef Joe, Elissa, and Portia. Couple others i didn't recognize and Gina Marie. We she came in she had like an entourage trying to clear the way, hilarious... I just wanted to shout Fuh Nick while posing for a picture with her. I was all over one of Rachel's persicope which was nifty. I let Zach use my phone charger. It was just lovely all around. Then i made it home by a reasonable time which was nice, thanks to some guy holding the door open for me because the Path is weird!

Also during the event they threw out little Big Brother Rubber Duckies and if you caught one you won something... well due to a flip flop and high seat situation i ended up falling as i tried to dive for one... which i got! then sadly i did nothing with it, but at least I got one!

Day 247/365 (March 21, 2015)

The day was crazy. I walked down to go to Trader Joe's but ended up waiting in line for the Big Brother Open Casting Call for season 17. Derrick (and Cody, and Frankie) were there. Derrick kept coming out and spending time with the crowd and he remembered me from the night before!

I made friends with the people in front of me (Sasha, Hiya, and Danielle, and also a girl named Kelsey). It was cold but we were determined. I had so much fun chatting with them. We spoke about random things and Big Brother things and I made a funny. Apparently in a town in FL it is illegal for more than 6 girls to live together because it is considered a brothel, so sororities can't have houses. So we were like what about more than 6 guys living together and I was like is that considered a BRO-thel? These people appreciated my humor haha! These other two guys also told a funny joke (if two vegetarians get into a fight does that mean they have beef or do they have to squash it?). I learned about a cinnamon toast crunch shot (RumChata and Fireball). When we finally got inside things went pretty quickly. They were definitely rushing us along to get done by 4, people inside earlier had to have have had WAY more time! We got put into a group of 7 and it ended up being the 4 of us and 3 other random people. They guy asked us a bunch of questions. He seemed to like the 4 of us but sadly none of us got a call back :( Anywho after it was over Sasha, Danielle, and myself went to a restaurant to eat and hang out some more. Such fun ladies. I know in things like this you don't usually end up seeing each other again... you are just friends for the day, but hopefully that isn't the case and we meet up again! Then I finally went to Trader Joe's! I also got to take a picture with my two favorite players from BB16 so that was neat! Derrick had us facetiming with the LA open call people at one point. (Seen above)

I got home and changed and got Karen to come with me to Jamie's Ladies night. Had some troubles getting there because of the MTA but it was nice to venture out somewhere. There was also lots of yummy sangria. Finally it was time to head home and crash!

Day 246/365 (March 20, 2015)

It was a crazy day but filled with much happiness and unfortunately snow! I headed intot he office to do a few quick things before Ted arrived with Dennis. Dennis had another day off from school so I said we could have a city day. We headed up to the Sony Wonder Lab, and spent some time there. They had some fun things like robots that danced and pretending to do heart surgery with a robot hand, and other things like video game (PlayStation, etc...) It is something we both wanted to check out but in my opinion although there were fun elements it was more geared towards younger kids than Dennis. SO it was fun but not OMG Let's go back, but it was fun spending quality time with him!

Then we were trying to figure out what to do next when he mentioned that he heard there was a place that had frozen hot chocolate so I decided that we would go to Serendipity 3 for lunch. It didn't open until 11:30 so we figured w would "kill some time" in nearby Dylan's Candy Bar. He was quite pleased with this idea and picked out candy for his sisters and himself. Then we went to wait in line for lunch. That is when it started to snow... we finally got inside and had a yummy lunch followed by the delicious frrrozen hot chocolate. He was a good sport since I kept making him take pictures with me! We passed by St. Patrick's Cathedral and he asked if we could go inside, so we did. Then he wanted to go back to the office and warm up while we figured out what to do next... which ended up being going to Grand Central to get frozen custard from Shake Shack. Then we came back to the office and just watched stuff on Netflix/Hulu because it was so cold and snowy until Ted was ready to head back home.

I said my goodbyes and headed off to the hotel where Derrick (and supposed to be Cody) from Big Brother said they would be hanging out. By the time I got there (which was not that late) Cody had sadly already left but Derrick was there! I was so happy to meet him and we chatted for a bit, such a nice guy! I also had the best Shirley Temple ever... yum!

Then i went home and lounged for a bit until I went out super late to see Travis' Boy Band Project perform (with him, Jesse, and Joey Khoury... and some other guy). Luckily I spotted Andy so I had someone to chat with for a little bit before they performed. It was a quick performance but they were so good and the crowd seemed to love them! Then I chatted for a bit and headed home
