Day 51/365 (September 6, 2014)

It was an early day out in New Rochelle, but a good one. It was just Winnie, Dennis, and I since Clare was away on a school retreat. I made pancakes for breakfast, and took Winnie to her Field Hockey game, then the three (well 4) of us went over to their Grandparents for a bit before coming home and working on homework. Let me tell you 6th grade advanced math is no joke, and it took me a few moments to figure out what he was doing so I could Help. Wiinie also had me read over some essays when she was done. The poor thing, I was like English was always my worst subject, and grammar is not my strong suit but I was at least able to tell her they made sense and pick up on a few tiny things to fix. It was so incredibly hot out they had to call her game at Half time because it was 10* hotter on the turf, I can't imagine! Then I brought Winnie to a friends house and Dennis and I enjoyed a movie night together watching Thor: The Dark World before picking Winnie up an going to bed. Penny went with us on mot of our traves so that was nice.

Day 365/365 (August 18, 2009)

WE HAS COMPLETION!!!!

It was a roller coaster of a day for me, kinda fitting since i saw next to normal i guess!

the day "began" with my attempting to get some sleep before rushing. i got about an hour before i woke up all alert and stuff. BAD NEWS instead of going right then i tried my best to pass time and finally got to rush at 4 which is when i was planning and had refused getting there any earlier. yea i was 5th in line! PISSED OFF!!!! i called sasha and finally she came down and joined and we were able to get the last set of front row orchestra seats thankfully. lack of sleep isnt good for tamra but the time passed we made friends i made a stop talking drunky mcwasted acquaintance (though his friend that had been with him earlier was most awesome). i took a little nap towards the end at one point and all was good.

got back to sasha's and watched a tiny bit of big brother after dark before getting ready and heading to my crumbs interview. the interview went well and then back to sasha's. it was nappy time. i basically only ended up getting about an hour of sleep before i was woken up by a phone call. (before i fell asleep though fred came over and nuzzled with me for a while and although it made me sneezy it made me really happy.) and pip even slept on me at one point during the day. Then i got in a long 45 minute phone call with apple because all of a sudden my phone was having some serious problems with syncing my music that i purchased and i have a temporary fix at the moment but it needs to become a temporary one so i will likely battle it out with them tomorrow.

anywho so this phone call caused me such incredible stress and part of it meant i had to call my mm which resulted in more stress and tears and well i just do not handle that well so i shoved my emotions down my throat and have been doing my best to ignore them. well sasha and i hung some more and she worked and then we gots ready to go. we went over to blockheads and met our theatre buddies there and had a yummy and delightful dinner. then to the theatre we went and the overpowering AC was most welcomed!

the show was unbelievably good and definitely worth the time spent rushing. i cant believe it had been over a month since i had seen it and am impressed with my self control (i guess the show is rubbing off on me as far as obsessiveness is concerned, j/k but lol).

after i began taking my final 365 pictures with my special 365 project. basically i took every picture that i posted in my blog and it is all on one sheet of paper with a 365 on it. and the first one was taken with sasha who is the highest tagged human! then i took one with kyle dean who seemed to enjoy my collage work since he was the first 365 picture and i hadnt intended it to happen full circle but i loved that it had. and while i was chatting with KDM chylar (pronounced skylar, tho i feel i missed a letter in there from when he told us how it was spelled.) also i dont usually "geek" out about interesting next to normal things however there were three moments this evening that had me in serious LIH (laughing in head). during why stay at one point when alice sang why stay she drew a question mark in the air and well i just found it hilarious because it was so not a her seeming thing to do and i do that all the time. also when she was taking the pills out of the medicine cabinet you could hear that some of them fell whilst she was doing so. ( i am sure others could see but not from our beautiful front row). the third was during better than before bobby accidentally messed up a lyric and instead of saying you've got it DI hooray, he said youve got it yay hooray, so then a second later when jenn sng that they both looked at each other and turned giggling as they did what they had to and when they turned back around they were still smiling and although it isnt supposed to be all giggly like that it was kind of a nice shared father daughter moment so i enjoyed that. and in general any time i see tears from people onstage i am just floored and there were some tears by kyle dean, bobby, and alice... good times! (I know i am crazy)

then sasha and i headed back and saw some lightening, by the time we got inside it was hardcore lightening and fierce rain so sasha, marty, and myself ran up to the roof to look at the sky and it was so rainy and hard and there was one especially breathtaking bolt that illuminated the whole sky and was positioned just right that we got a clear view of its bolitness!!!! then we came downstairs and watched the most oh snapish episode of big brother and i got a text from krysta saying the super had seen emma hanging around so he will keep an extra special look out for her and let us know as soon as he sees her. i hope she was okay during the storm because i miss her so very much. i also took a picture with marty and then this one with pip and fred because they are all important people in my life/blog and i was fortunate to see them today. i personally love how pip looks like he was flying and fred was nice enough to stop licking himself for a second to look at the camera for the picture!

i added this so you can see it close up if you want :D (can you find the mistake?)

as far as things go i doubt i will do a photo every day but i will try to post an entry everyday we will see how that goes and i will probably create a new blog for that since this one has run its course and i am proud of myself for keeping it up!

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 361/365 (August 14, 2009)

ok so the bulk of my day began after i uploaded a bunch of my pictures to facebook. I headed to the first apple store (14th st) and picked up my computer that thankfully didnt lose any data, then i began walking hardcore! i was looking for a particular place and despite having my phone that started to not cooperate just for this the should have been 10 minute walk took close to an hour and by the end i no longer cared about why i was trying to get there and i just wanted to find it!

after i realized i had lots of time to kill and it would make no sense to go home because by the time i got there i would just have to turn back around basically to get to the theater i was going to. so instead i walked to find where i was going later since i am so directionally challenged but it turns out it didnt help.  then i headed up to the second apple store (59th and 5th) and picked up the headphones. then i chatted with jordan on the phone for a while to plan for her arrival here soon and boy oh boy i was so very hot in my jeans at this point. 

i took the subway back to where the theater was and when i got off of it even though i had been there not long before i couldnt find where i was going without major help (yay phone finally kicking in to work) but until then i was once again reminded of my theory that i should figure out what my gut instinct is and then go in the opposite direction because 98% of the time my gut instinct is wrong!

i was unnerved to see how many people were already waiting in line for Vote! The Musical when i got there which was pretty early in general though late for me, but very excited and pleased to find jennifer and jo ann in line so that meant i didnt have to see the show by myself and we were able to talk and catch up :D

we also spotted joe (whom i met in the n2n rush line back in june) rushing down the street and i texted him to see if it was him and he came back and i went back outside at the point to say hi and see how he was. 

my thoughts on Vote! The musical:

i had gone to see it for two reasons (i had seen some of the songs performed when i went to vote or die a while back and i thought they were just fabulous and catchy, and landon (and morgan k.) were in it. the people in it were all really good for the most part but unfortunately there were some really bad sound issues like the mics just not working or my favorite the loud and lengthy JKLDK noise that lasted enough in the beginning to not be able to hear quite a bit of the song that was going on.i really liked most of the songs and they were quite catchy and there were a few things from the book that i liked. one in particular but sadly i couldnt remember it by the end of the show (why does my memory not retain things so easily). i laughed a bit with a few snorts and it was nice to see landon on stage again! bailey hanks was perfectly spunky and morgan k. was delightful in his crazy presidential aspiration way! i thought the person who played the other candidate and the teacher were quite fab. i do have some criticisms of the show but i enjoyed myself quite a bit and knew that it was a Fringe Festival show going in so that gave it some wiggle room in the place it was at. so congrats!

on my way home i stopped in path mark to buy some groceries and well every line was practically half way up every aisle! well it would seem the people in the express line with me were very angry shoppers! i understand it sucks that the lines are always like that and you want to bond over your unhappiness while waiting in line to pass the time but you shouldnt take it out on management with anger. you need to do it in a more constructive way! anywho i came home and was very happy to put my PJs on and get the internet i pay for to actually work for a change.

i am also annoyed by the child outside who is growling like a crazy person nonstop!

this picture is from the 59th and 5th apple store while emerging up the elevator and i need an idea for what my last picture will be and that is wicked soon!!!! and the other is from the inside of the "playbill"

Day 253/365 (April 28, 2009)

Word of the day: HOT!!!!

It got really hot and i proudly never turned on the A/C, instead the fan kept us cool.

The non-boring part of the day was going over to Kim's. Susie and i were gonna have dinner together while playing with puppy. I struggled with my ginormous suitcase filled to the brim with laundry and carrying dinner i had made but never ate. It is a miracle i made there in one piece!

Anywho it was super nice playing with puppy and hanging with susie, and i was able to do most of the laundry i brought. I will finish the rest up soon. i came home and watched a little TV, and actually fell asleep by 2! (mostly because i just remembered how i got no sleep the night before! like maybe three and a half hours worth.)

i need to take my camera out for good pictures of the puppy when i am with her, and almost thought i didn't take any pictures today, but thankfully i did just barely after midnight, while Tucker and i were riding home
