Day 164/365 (December 28, 2014)





Crazy day! I got up and packed the car, said my goodbyes and headed out to Ania's shower. I met the tiniest (12 year old) dog named Twinkle there. The little time I was there was nice to see the Nowicki's and catch up for a bit. The ice box cake actually turned out well! When I went to leave I got a surprise visitor. Ewa tagged along with nothing but her phone and a charger. We surprisingly made great time and didn't hit any traffic. We popped into a Target so she could get some clothes and toiletries then headed to city. We walked around Times Square with barely a coat on since it was strangely not cold out and then went to bed!

Day 163/365 (December 27, 2014)





Had breakfast with Grandpa at a pancake house... yum! Then made an ice box cake for Ania's shower tomorrow and made my way to Sam and Mike's for their holiday party. It was lovely, they have a beautiful home and I got some quality Xavier time. I started to cry as I left because I miss not being there for all these special moments but know I can't always be there at the same time. They had a fun Yankee Swap as well.

Day 138/365 (December 2, 2014)






Spent the morning at work and then I met up with Ally to go to Dylan's Candy Bar to buy a postcard for someone's gingerbread man project. I got a card and wrote it to the little kindergarten boy saying i saw the gingerbread man and he was looking to buy new candy to wear. We found a fun photobooth there with a greenscreen! After we came home to start working on my tests for nerd cupcakes and nerd cake balls. I made the cupcakes and the cake for the balls. Ally was making a card for her BroadwaySpotted Secret Santa person while I baked. After i changed and got dressed for dinner with Sophon... all was going well UNTIL the ceiling started to leak again! This time it wasn't a small leak, it was drip drip WHOOSH! Thankfully Karen and I were both home (since we weren't supposed to be at that time) and we went into panic mode as we got the couch out of the way and got towels and a container to catch the water an call our landlord. While dealing with the leak we discovered the ceiling fan was collecting water in the light fixture so i got the ladder out and tried to get the thing off so the weight wouldn't pull it down, but I ended up getting the water all over me, yuck! No time to shower before Sophon. We got it under control until someone could show up. Sophon came just after the water stopped and we eventually headed out to get dinner at The Meatball Shop. It was so yummy and we got so lucky... we were seated right away even though there were a bunch of people waiting... yay for being a party of two!

Then we went to Billy's bakery to get dessert... such scrumptious food inducing an ice box cake slice and caramel cheesecake. We left the ladder out just in case and Charlie the fool kept climbing up it so I had to put blankets on it to stop him.
