Day 359/365 (August 12, 2009)

my day began by meeting sasha at the apple store and having her phone "looked at" so she could get new headphones for me since mine broke. i just have to go pick up the headphones today (so behind in writing so friday) now they have come in. then pip, her, and i walked to find a post office and then she went off to her voice lesson and i headed down to crumbs for a job interview. i got there wicked early of course but that is ok. the interview was really fabulous actually and well i love crumbs and after it was over i got to have a cupcake! hello raspberry swirl my favorite: how i have missed you soooooo much!

then i went back and met up with sasha and we hung and watched tv and stuff until i left to go help out kate (katlyn) with hair lotto. while there i ran into lots of people again, i helped pass out pencils to people signing up, and i ran into AnneMarie and Jean who i have not seen in a while. so we chatted and caught up a bit and i told them i would save them a seat for broadway in bryant park the next day. sadly we lost and then i went back to sasha's. when marty got home we begun the process of moving the furniture around in the living room and all that jazz. it looks completely different and its kind of fabulous! anywho then i left and swung by NWS for a bit because i wanted to finally check out jam sessions and was surprised at how hopping it was and i ran into Jo there... rather creepily if i do so myself :D

when i got home i found a swimming pool of dog pee on my floor courtesy of tucker i was so beyond mad and krysta cleaned it up though i feel like it isnt compltely clean still but that could be because he keeps peeing on my floor anywho it took a long time to clean up and i ended up going to be REALLY late.

Day 334/365 (July 18, 2009)

I'm tamra!

so i had fallen asleep at 6:30 in the morning like i said yesterday... i woke up about 7:30 when grace got here... just long enough to say hi and fall back asleep! Then i got ready and met up with Kim, Susie, and eventually Jo at Blockheads... then we walked to the highline ballroom and they bought their LFO tickets for the night... then we went to Kim's and ate a bunch of jello... it was good times with everyone and doing something that was so laid back... and i got to see kim's puppy for the first time since i finished puppy sitting in i think May! she had just gotten groomed the day before and she looked like an entirely different breed of dog but she was still as cute and friendly as ever.... i love her so much!

well i was there kim gave me the amazing gifts she had picked up for me in disney: a princess patch, a princess lollipop, a pretty bracelet that has a T charm on it with a mickey mouse head clasp, and Mickey ears that has my name embroidered on the back. well in true tamra form i put them on and wore them the rest of the day because they rocked and i didnt want them to get crushed in my bag... so i went and helped grace try the hair and 9 to 5 lottos (lost both) and then we went to subway to get some much needed grub... yep and i passed kyle dean and tim young... whilst rocking the mickey ears!

then grace and i headed home and i began the long process of the night... baking! OH MY GOD!!!! i can't believe how long it took to make the red velvet cake balls (Satan's Balls) and the carrot cake cookies! I began at 8 and finally finished about 2 o'clock! thatw s six hours of baking and doing dishes so the kitchen remained clean! grace was a super star at making whole cookies from the scraps of cookies that had fallen apart.... they taste so good but they suck to make because they fall apart s easily so you could make 72 cookies (as i had) but only about 38 actually came out ok, and then grace made about 16 cookies from the remains of the other ones, and the rest just had to be thrown out... and since you sandwich the cookies together with cream cheese frosting i ended up with only 27 sandwich's when theoretically i could have ended up with 36 if all the cookies had turned out... basically that sucks! the red velvet balls are really simple in theory but in practice they involve alot of effort but man are they worth it because they taste so good! so anywho afterwards i cleaned the last of the dishes and went to bed!

ps whenever i hear or think july 18 i always think of bad boys II and vice versa because the year it was released Will Smith and Martin Lawrence presented an MTV movie award for something and their whole speech before hand they kept saying bad boys II came out on july 18 to promote it and it became sort of an ongoing joke between judith and myself for a little while, now i suspect i am the only one who still remembers.
