Day 86/365 (October 11, 2014)

Today weather wise was miserable: cold and rainy! that didn't stop me from going to visit Karolina and Baby James. It was a lovely day over there chatting and getting some quality baby time! It took 90 minutes to get there thanks the the MTA's schedule changes, joy!

Then i finaly headed home and got warm.

Day 18/365 (August 4, 2014)

After work I headed down to training where my legs were worked so hard I had a hard time walking back... oof! Once I got home I ate dinner, and made some zucchini wedges... they were awfully spicy! Sasha made her yummy zucchini and squash tomato thing and David and Karolina came over for a while. It was a nice evening overall, here is Charlie sleeping on my hand/arm as he so often does.

Day 357/365 (August 10, 2009)

i got up crazy early to do the rush for the bye bye birdie first preview performance tickets, they were for $10 each! i got a great lunchbox since i was one of the first 50 people in line and it had a tee shirt and pin in it. sadly i was not the one who won the opening night tickets/party passes. i slept a little and did a lot of talking with jennifer and her mom who was in line too behind me. i witnessed some of the bye bye birdie load in and witnessed one of the funniest things i have seen all year as the BBB ensemble did the fan club thing and spazzed over "conrad" and then "chased" him down the street. they did a real good job of pretending to be all fan crazy.

then i went to sasha's and changed and stuff and made my way to meet karolina. we begun our day of looking at bridal dresses and her mom even joined us. we made some amazing progress and it excited me and her een if i ended up feeling like it was a bridal sweat shop because i hadnt eaten since the day before and i had said i needed food. well we didnt get it after the first store and just kept going. eventually we made our way to ollie's and met up with david and his best man (i forget his name). food was appreciated and prevented me from dying. i also had the opportunity to meet the best man and he was a really great person and i can see why david chose him and we had some pretty adult conversations actually talking about the wedding... its weird to be adult like sometimes!

after we did some more shopping then i made my way back to sasha and martys and hung out with them for a long while before finally going home.

ps my picture is not upside down, they pulled that out upside down.

Day 340/365 (July 24, 2009)

tucker was nice to me, and even slept next to me while i was busy on the couch. it was pretty good. i even used the software i downloaded and it RECOVERED my deleted pictures and i was so relieved! i met with karolina to give her back her camcorder and i went to mostly sondheim.

i ate a ton of cookies since krysta left them here, how rude! there was this cute kid on the subway and he was eating chips... after he finished he stood up, brushed himself off, then asked his mom for a wipe to clean himself up... OMG it was so precious since he was about two feet tall!

i also took the bus at one point because i was too lazy to walk to the subway and well i got one of the long ones with the circle center that sways and rocks up and down.. i love them! (see above)

mostly sondheim was interesting! Mark and Joey joined me and this week danny calvert and michael buchanan were the hosts... it started wicked late because the fill in pianist never showed up! so they called john bronson who was actually not working that night and he came from home (the bronx) via a cab to rescue the night and play piano! right before he got there danny played piano for a song he sang and then one michael sang and he did a pretty good job, then john arrived and the night really began. lots of fun, i sang i can hear the bells... and michael sang the song i have been getting ready to sing (when brian gets back and i have more confidence) screw loose... it was cute though because michael actually asked me of it was ok if he sang it... lots of fun and i think michael is super sweet and a welcomed guest host as well.

eventually the night ended and joey and i walked with mark from the duplex to 42nd st (well they kept walking i got on the subway). I was so very tired at this point it must have looked like i was beyond drunk even though i wasnt drinking at all because i couldnt walk in a straight line and kept swaying... the walk from 135th to home was a trip to say the least and seemed to have taken an eternity! the sky was already staring to turn a pale shade of blue from the sun creeping up... i brushed my teeth and passed out!

Day 331/365 (July 15, 2009)

oh my it was a busy day! i woke up early and rushed the little mermaid for michelle, i chatted with a very nice girl, unfortunately i didn't realize she was just in high school until it was just about BO open time when i had mentioned something and she was like oh no, i am only in high school, so she waited for nothing! i was surprised at how many people ended in line. i was first but the line went quite far down the theater shortly after i got there! i doubt most were rushing and the others were looking to buy regular tickets based on the demographic not looking very collegiate!

then i rushed home and cleaned myself up a bit and headed out to finally watch a Seth" Sirius XM Broadcast because Emma Hunton was going to perform and promote her Joe's Pub Gig... it was standing room only by the time i got there (boo) but i stuck it out and she played Whispering while playing on the guitar and it was beautifully done! i felt bad not staying through the rest of the show but i had stuff to do, so when she was all done i just left. PS Seth was away on the Rosie Cruise and the person who filled in for him was not very good. she had a lovely voice when she sang, but she just wasnt engaging and that made me sad.

I headed to the cake distributor store emily told me about a while ago that i have used rather frequently for awesomeness. I bought the chocolate i need to make Satan's Balls for Michelle, then i headed back towards home. i went to Path Mark to get a few other needed supplies, most importantly the Red Velvet Cake mix... unfortunately i couldn't find it... which sucks becuase between Path Mark, the grocery store across our street, and the little stores around the neighborhood i have been unable to find it! so i will try a few places in midtown in the hopes of finding later, and then go to 14th street if i have to since i know i saw it in one of the stores around there when i was puppy sitting for kim! While i waited in the longest line ever! (my wort line experience there by far... i mean i listened to the entire tarzan cast album while in the store and i didnt listen to it for that long before i got in line! anywho in front of me was this 6 month old little boy and he took a liking to me, so i would make funny faces, or play peek a boo with him while passing the time. it was super cute and if i would stop for too long he would start to get cranky. then when we finally got to the cash register his mom had pushed him through to load the stuff on the belt blocking me from view and he started to cry, she moved out of the way and as soon as he saw me he started to giggle... i felt so loved because well little kids love me without much effort on my part!

anywho then i came home and it was a good thing i set an alarm to remind me when to leave so i wouldnt be late meeting michelle because i ended up falling asleep for like two hours and when i woke up i was s disoriented... like i didnt know what day it was and couldnt remember what i was supposed to be leaving for... then karolina called me and well she had to put up with my what in the worldness and  and asked if i would join her that night... turns out karen couldn't make it to harry potter and the half-blood prince so i went in her place. i finally snapped to at 72nd street... whilst i was sleeping i had a nightmare that the chocolate i had bought and placed in the fridge was not supposed to go in there and it almost got ruined so i freaked a little and had krysta check the package since i had forgotten to before i had left in my disoriented state.

had a lovely time with michelle chatting about the past two weeks and eating at chipotle, then i headed over to the movie theater which was freaking on 32nd and 2nd ave... so far away!

i didnt really like the movie but it was nice seeing it with karolina and david. i felt the movie was way too rushed, and they didnt explain certain things so if you hadnt read the book you would be clueless. they also changed things that were unnecessary and added random things. i thought it was well acted for the most part, i didnt like slughorn, or the littlest voldemort. the teenage voldemort i thought was pretty good, i would have enjoyed you know who more, but he is definitely way too old for it. i think the thing that disappointed me most was that they didnt do the whole dumbledore tells harry that he knew he would be fine because he was with him thing. it was such a sweet powerful moment in the book and wasted by not being in the film. eh oh well at least i can picture things in my mind. I mean most of the people that used to be important in it were just glorified extras... longbottom anyone? and a few others and the billing at the end... i understand that the people are more seasoned performers and had larger parts in the other movies but tom felton certainly deserved to be higher up and listed individually!

then i headed home and found a puddle off pee on my floor from tucker and poo on my bed from emma... i was not pleased in the slightest!

Day 326/365 (July 10, 2009)

The day began on the usual side and then i discovered some DVD's... i watched parts from an easter bonnet and gypsy of the year competition. It was pretty fun watching except when i saw Rent's Easter Bonnet from last year... yea it made me cry pretty much from the beginning until the just shortly after the end. i love that it still has such an emotional power over me, it is nice to know i am not completely "emotionally dead inside" as i like to often to joke.

i headed out and met karolina in bryant park and thus began our evening of talking and wedding planning and just a nice time catching up. we were there for a wicked long time but then it got chilly so we went inside at a mcdonald's... i got an angus, bacon cheeseburger... i normally dont dig fast food but i was hungry and it was actually really good! (but i could just have been really hungry)

we ended up staying there until really really very late until they told us they were closing, so that is finally when we parted ways... i came home and instead of getting myself ready for my new rochelle trip tomorrow i am watching tv and writing this! i came home so i wouldnt be up so late from mostly sondheim... guess i will be up late anyway :(

Day 283/365 (May 28, 2009)

it says: "You have a potential urge and the ability for accomplishment"

so the day started with me waking up relatively early and feeling really down about the job thing, the last few weeks have been a sort of slow spiral and then the last few days i have been just a complete emotional plummet. things keep happening that give me temporary good times but they dont seem to be enough, and my throat was still killing me! peppermint is a life saver and i will miss my peppermint sticks when they are gone

then to make matters worse i started feeling really queasy and even though i had lunch at like 1 around 4 i could still taste the fluffernutter stuck in my throat it seemed and it was so disgusting! i wont be eating those for a while to come now!

anywho i got some happy news karolina asked if i would come with her to rock of ages since sadly karen couldnt make it. of course i jumped at the chance since i hadnt actually seen her in some time and i do enjoy the show.

emma has unfortunate timing and chooses to cuddle with me when i have to get up and go! anywho krysta came home and after the long day with tucker too we left, and i parted ways. i met karolina at ollies intending not to eat since i felt like vomiting but the food is so good so i had some edamame and chicken dumplings (YUM), and some of her chicken fried rice. then we headed to the theater. the show was even better this time and first time i saw the whole cast. karolina loved it and with the exception of the gigling fan girls in front, the girl giving lap dances in the box, and the most obnoxious theater goer i have encountered who did everything wrong except have a cell phone go off, including having a full dinner during the second act, it was just an awesome show.

anywho so we headed to stage door after and karolina got almost everyone in the cats, but the funniest moment (she will kill me for this but oh well) happened when she got her picture with james c. so it went a little something like this, though i am sure they are not exact quotes but they were pretty close to it, and he might go see it! (i am so good!)

Karolina held up peace sign while he held up rock on sign

Him: what is that
Karolina: what?
Me: oh that's from another show we see alot
Him: oh hair
Me: no altar Boyz
James: is that a good show, should I go see it?
Me: yea, I've seen it 120 times
Him: really how about this can you make it a 121?
Me: we're working on that

anywho then we finally went our separate ways and i got home to find a wonderful youtube video that i spent 2 hours trying and failing to rip audio from

Day 274/365 (May 19, 2009)

i cleaned alot of tucker's pee, didn't get much sleep because i was up late reading the night before and tucker was whining early this morning. but i eventually got up and went about the day, and gave emma some good attention.

Later i went and i met karolina and karen at a "dress place" to try on a potential bridesmaid dress and it was really fun and really pretty... i have a sneaky suspicion we found our winner. then we headed uptown and chatted for a bit, they went to a restaurant for dinner and i went to sasha's.

on the way i ran into matthew who had startled me a bit but it was nice to do a quick catch up before he had to leave, then i headed to the apt. i was greeted very nicely by the excited pip and sasha... and fred was a little more chill... his welcome to me is running to the bathroom and waiting for me to turn the tub on for him.

anywho sasha gave me really pretty smelling hand sanitizer and we chatted while she worked and i was put to work by pip. i got a little good fred time in but pip was always quite excited and would jump in with us. i love catching up with the animals and residents of 3A!

then i came home and got some dinner that i ended up not really liking because well at that point i was hungry and i guess i didn't cook the pasta long enough... it was actually the perfect consistency for al dente but i like my pasta super soft. (sacrilege i know)

i watched Glee which i had been waiting for (and i really love this subway ad) but i was really sad because for some reason the DVR didnt start recording it right away so i missed the first 15 minutes but i liked what i saw!

after i worked on a fun personal design project... i kinda like it but i wish i could get rid of a color box around something and it is giving me difficulty, but i will conquer it!

Day 268/365 (May 13. 2009)

The day began relatively hum drum. Emma was cuddled up on me as always but sadly that had to end. i had a bunch of stuff i knew i needed to do today so i put together some of my to do lists so i could begin.

i started with my battle with a lame credit card company who had tried to tell me i missed a payment when my bank clearEly has my cancelled check. so i was told to fax the copy to them... well they had given me the wrong number and i had to call the inquiry number i was given... well that was wrong too and four numbers later and three separate royal wenches (saying i had the wrong department then giving me a different number) until the fourth person was actually helpful and gave me the right number... now next week i have to call to make sure it was processed. it caused me so much stress, oof!

Tucker and i also went on a nice walk/run around the neighborhood, and eventually i went to meet karolina to get my speakers back. then we went on a quick shopping trip since she needed a new pair of work pants quickly, then i went home. On my way i stopped at the grocery store and picked up some yummy tomato and avocado to have as a snack, and yummy it was!

later i paid some bills, and did some cleaning on the laundry front since i have to do it tomorrow so i can ack since i couldnt bring myself to do it tonight. i also rediscovered the nanny, since i saw it playing on nick at nite... good times because i enjoy the show greatly!

also and what is with the everyone ring our door buzzer day today? at least 5 times today, it is wicked annoying!

ps i was also proud of myself because i needed to get to the post office before the week finished out to mail dawn some stuff she accidentally left behind, and well i went before thursday which would have been the last day i could until monday which would have been ridiculous! the best part was i thought it would take forever and even though there was an insanely long line, there were a lot of workers and i was in and out in 15 miuntes! that is a record for all of my post office trips, score!

Day 260/365 (May 5. 2009)

once again i cant remember everything i did during the day (really need to keep up with this!) Dawn and i got some Pinkberry before heading to The Eatery.

i know we had stayed up late and slept quite a bit. Eventually we made our way to The Eatery for Karolina's birthday dinner. It was nice having a big group dinner someplace that has such great food! After we all headed over to Bar Nine for some extra time with each other and of course the birthday girl! it was a good evening for sure!

i especially loved the gift i gave her complete with lemons, pretty blue liquid, and a card with a monkey

Day 255/365 (April 30, 2009)

this was a busy day. Tucker and i went and met Judith in central park and had lunch, tried contacting Krissy and her friend, then i rushed home, met up with Krissy and her friend Stephanie i think,  got them settled in, showered, and headed out. i went to sasha's and said a quick hello to her, fred, pip, and marty. I borrowed her camera then headed to the marquis to meet karolina. She gave me my necklace back then we met up with diane.

Diane and i went to the opening of 9 to 5 where i ran into kelly, then later we went to the part, and i saw kate there too, i have some good friends. then they shut the kinda lame party down real early and i went home.

Day 242/365 (April 17, 2009)

The first part of the day was caring for the little guys. Tucker had a major accident involving him having a hard time going poo, then it being super moist and coming out while he was running around which meant it got everywhere and OCD kitty Fred hates messes so he was trying to clean it up, so i had to keep him away from the poo while trying to calm down tucker, and then once he finshed i put him in his cage and had to fight fred while i tried to clean it up becuase he get trying to sweep the poo away with his paws!

I was also starting to feel really stressed and in a really not good mood and spent most of the day on the verge of tears. Anyway i had to go meet Karolina to drop off my speakers and with some coaxing from Sasha and Kim i decided to not just go home and hang with them. Krysta and i (with tucker) rode the subway down and then parted ways. 

Finally i dropped off the speakers to karolina, just missed helping carina with hair lotto and went to the courtyard to meet Kim and Susie since we were going to have dinner at Blockheads. The weather was so nice and it was an hour and 45 minute wait! any way while we were waiting Krysta swung by and showed tucker to susie and kim, which i cant seem to find the pictures i took of that!

after aiting for more than we should have we found out blockheads claimed to have called our name and we missed it which was a complete sack of hooey! so we ended up going to Renaissance diner and got some serious yum! i was in much better spirits at this point, after we split up and i went to Sasha's and was greeted vert excitedly by Pip! i spent lots of time there and by the time i left i was definitely much happier and headed to Mostly Sondheim even though no one was going with me.

Nothing says LOL like listening to Body, Mind, & Soul from ABz on the subway whilst AK is in the same car as you... that was hysterical to me at least!

I got to Mostly Sondheim and sat with some of the regulars and it was a fun evening that once again scandalized me! I even learned the name of someone i call KDL, and that was exciting! Finally i headed homke and went to bed around 5!

Day 241/365 (April 16, 2009)

The day started off taking care of Tucker, Fred, and Emma. Then i got a phone call from Michelle that Kyle Dean was going to be performing in At This Performance on Sunday so i bought a ticket then l got dressed and headed out.  Marty was doing a reading of sorts so i went down to see him and left Tucker alone for the first time. I was a little paranoid but when i came back he was of course fine. Marty and this other girl sang ten songs from a show and the music was really good actually and Marty got to sing some pretty stuff. It was nice hearing just him, and not a bunch of others at the same time.

Then i went to Sasha's apt and picked up her sweet camera and came back. Like i said Tucker was fine and then i passed the time until i got ready for realsies.

I headed out to Kenny's Castaway to see Frisco Verdes perform. I was quite excited that it was easy to get to if i used the A train and i didnt have to do any crazy transfers of the like, then walk a bazillion miles away. I met up with Karolina and then we went in and met Diane. The only open table was in the front and it was actually two tables but a chair had a coat on it and there was a used beer glass. I moved the beer glass to the table that had the coat and chair then moved a chair to the other table and split them up a bit. FV didnt start when we thought they would (of course) and we had to scream to hear each other over the loudness. Our waitress was pretty bad too. Frisco Verdes was great of course and i was able to take some pretty awesome pictures when i got the guts to use the flash. I mean i was told i could but i still felt bad, next time i will do so more! Diane and i also learned that we were so not on the same page for our road-trip in May... gotta work on that.

Then we headed out and went to see karaoke for a hot second, but left shortly there after because diane saw the time and was like i need to catch a train so i didnt even get to sing a song... oh well!

ps insomnia is the stroy of my life still and if it changes i will let y'all know!

Day 224/365 (March 30, 2009)

i didn't get much sleep and ate a ton of the yummiest purple grapes (ok technically red but i call em purple) ever!  i also watched lots of TV... then finally i got ready for the day and headed over to Lincoln Center to see The Music Of Bobby Cronin.

i met mark outside and we headed in to wait in line and get out of the cold, eventually carina came in and joined us. slowly everyone else started to trickeled in. (Krysta, Michelle, Lynette, Michelle, diane, karolina, nicole.)  Mark and i had run into andrew as he was leaving sound check, and then we all saw michael come in but logan was with him so i chatted with him for a bit. eventually we all went in and took seats in the front.

I had never heard of Bobby Cronin before and just knew that there were a ton of people that i love to see perform participating in it. Aside from the people who were all great let me tell you he is such a talented song writer! i enjoyed each of the songs very much, especially the understudy song and music from BRATT Camp. Michelle, Nicole, and I were maybe going to leave during part of it to go to something else but shortly before the time we were going to leave i had decided i wanted to stay and continue hearing the songs which was a great decision!

they were just really well written, played, and performed! the host guy was funny because he kept referring to in the heights as into the heights. The first song of the evening was sung by michael kadin craig, andrew call, marcus paul james, and jared gertner... i was quite excited because they are some of my favorite performers and i was like 3 of my favorite shows are being represented on stage (note that MPJ represented Rent for me). then michael sang another song, and andrew ended up in two more, and kate pazakis did some killer vocals and it was nice seeing her sing again since i had been absent from mostly sondheim for so long!

afterwards the group of us chatted for a bit and eventually parted ways, i was about to go home when mark was like lets do something so we walked down to vynl and i got the BLT sandwich again, and then we headed to TOL and enjoyed part of open mic night before heading our seperate ways.

Day 223/365 (March 29, 2009)

i still felt sick but headed out to meet Karolina and David in SoHo for another wedding thing. this has turned out to be my favorite so far because it was informative and not a zoo! there was a really yummy drink we got that was made of passion fruit, edle berry (spelling?), and some sort of vodka, and yummy appetizers, and some chocolate to try. we got a nifty gift nag with chocolate in it that came in handy later... well tried to at least.

then we parted ways and met up with Mary and Devon and went and got dinner at Vynl. I got the most yummy BLT and we had fun, then headed over to NWS for altar boyz/cookie delivery. While waiting we were ran into Nicole who was volunteer ushering for Rooms and then were joined by michelle and tim while they waited to see toxic avenger. i dropped off the cookies and we had our usual bought of fun and diane joined us too.

the show was great and neil had a wonderful flub of losing the van instead of wrecking it... then there was a BC/EFA photo shoot for mary and devon and neil's mom. (other people too but i didn't know them.)

then we headed to TOL but never actually stayed in there, instead spent the whole time outside because they had moved the tables and chairs out for some sort of TA talk back. we were able to say our goodbye to neil and had lots of fun with each other. then finally it was time to head home!

Day 217/365 (March 23, 2009)

this was an entirely fun/crazy day.

i met with Karolina (after waiting for her for a bit) outside the Roosevelt Hotel for a Wedding Expo type thing. Seriously the line to register for the event took forever to get through... i think they said 1900 people had signed up for the event! While we were waiting in line i ran into Will.. as in the Will on mine and krysta's apartment wall via a HF poster.

The event was kinda mayhem! tons of people everywhere and tons of vendors giving us information. there was even a wedding band playing that i thought was pretty good. We got cupcakes and enjoyed some fun rock candy hypnotiq drinks that karolina enjoyed highly. i was still sort of getting over being sick so i din't really enjoy them as much, but the bar they came from was made out of ice! and there were ice sculptures that were rockin!

eventually we left and i accompanied karolina to her home in staten island which was a trip in it self and then i spent the night there since we got in so late!

Day 212/365 (March 18, 2009)

I woke up in such a cranky right foul mood! I was trying to finish cutting HSM audio but the world wouldn’t leave me alone… texts, twitters, phone calls, emails I couldn’t take it anymore! I tried shutting out the world and failed slightly, but that ended up being for the best!

I got a call from Krysta asking if I could do her a favor and while we were talking she asked if I had gotten the battery’s down filming email and I said no because I was tuning out the world… well she told me about it and I saw the time and by the time I got off the pone with her I had 50 minutes to shower and get to NWS. This means I had twenty minute to leave my apartment if I was going to be there on time. This is no small feat for me since I take 20 minutes just to shower usually, but somehow I made it and went on my way.

The filming for this episode was the most fun of the ones I have been to yet because we weren’t just audience people we got to pretend to be doing things… I was a stage manager with a headset that ended up giving me a headache from squeezing my poor head, but I didn’t care! When we were filming the backstage stuff I got creative, and had fun “acting” with one of the other people over where a prop went.

Then I went to help with hair lotto and deliver krysta’s clothes. They were filming something for the website and I decided that I should be interviewed since I am a camera whore so I asked them to and they did. Then I went to bed, bath, & beyond to meet Karolina for the bridal registry.

It was lots of fun and we got some good information, and Karolina made out like a bandit! I also proved my worth as maid of honor… woo~hoo! They had hors d’oeuvres for us and some yummy pomegranate martinis… I only had two (they were non-alcoholic though so don’t go there) but if I could have I would have had more, they were so great!

Then we parted ways and I went to pick up the kitty food from Sasha, then I went home. I finally finished cutting the HSM audio and edited all the info on itunes and sent it out to everyone… it felt good to get that off my list!

Day 211/365 (March 17, 2009)

St. Patrick’s Day! I got up and went to meet Karolina at a place on 35th and met some of her other friends, then I went to say hi to Brian the birthday boy at the house of brews. I ended up spending lots of time at 3A with Sasha, Matthew, Mary, and Pip… and eventually Nick and Mackenzie. We performed some SA and 13, and took lots of pictures, we took Pip on a walk to the Wicked Stage Door and I wore no coat… stupid! But I was so green. Someone told me Pip was a summer dog, not a winter dog… what does that even mean? Eventually Matthew, nick, and Mackenzie walked me to the subway but they ran into someone so we spent time doing nothing much and I showed off my “cartwheel” because well I cant do them. I also spent a good portion of the day cutting HSM audio.

Day 202/365 (March 8, 2009)

I got up SO early compared to when i went to sleep, showered and made my way to New Rochelle. I knew enough to not bother spending time on my hair since i knew i would be spending quality time with my cousin Dennis who has it out for my hair!

I got into the station and my cousin Paula picked me up and on the way back to her house Clare called to find out if i was coming or not because she thought i would have forgotten about daylight savings and not make it... silly Clare, i am so never late, but she is 10 so it's ok. I had a quick visit with my Auntie Margaret before she and my uncle went back to Ma.. then the day really began! I spent the majority of the day with my five year old cousin Dennis. (ps i took pics of them but don't want to post their pictures in a public place since you know they are kids and don't belong to me). There were different times spent with Winnie and Clare too but they rotated because they had separate basketball games and a birthday party to attend.  My time was spent playing baseball, soccer, watching Wii, being a human slide for Dennis, making sure they ate lunch, playing with Thomas The Tank Engine trains (which Dennis apparently only plays with when i am around because he says i make the best tracks) and getting a drawing of me done. I got to do some catch up time with my cousin Paula. Then we went to Winnie's basketball game, hers was a championship and luckily her team came in first place... but we spent over two hours at the gym and i am not into sports... (her game didnt last that long but they couldn't play until another team finished and well these things never move in a timely manner. Then we headed back to Paula's and tried to have a quick dinner (but not so much for me) before i got back on the train to head into the city. Paula and Ted have gotten a new minivan that is super fab, and has a rear view camera! I also had to set the car clocks in both Paula's car and my Uncle's car.

The train ride back on metro-north ended up rocking because they never collected my ticket so next time i will only have to get a one way ticket... sweet deal! I also totally did some laundry whilst there. Then i went to Sasha's to drop my stuff off before my next destination. When i got there Sasha scared me because she was all "i kind of did something today" and i was like what did she do that could be bad, and she was like "i might have gotten a puppy and he is in my room>" Seriously she made the right decision... he (as you can see)is so adorable and beyond sweet and fell totally in love with me! Sadly i seem to be allergic to him, but only if he licks me, since i was holding him and he licked my neck and within seconds it turned red, had bumps, and was itchy. Sasha was like are you allergic to your necklace and i was like this one i am not and she was like is it him, and i was like it is... how does she pick the ones i am allergic too? but it is apparently ONLY i he licks my neck or face. (they are so sensitive). we chatted for a bit and i ate my dinner which was left over cookies and carrots, so not healthy or really dinner! it fille dme up though :D

Then i pried myself away and head to Jesse's birthday party. On the way i called Mark back and spoke with him in a non-chaotic moment then i went in. The birthday party was lots of fun and i ran into someone i hadn't seen i a really long time so that was nice and we caught up on the happenings of our life. Krysta, karolina, and diane came as well. i also learned a very important lesson... perhaps i should not drink around certain people since when i do my sensors for what i dont like to talk about with people who arent in my close circle of friends goes away and i let my uncensored honesty shine on through. It wasn't anything bad or hurtful so that is all good, but i dont like to let everyone know i am crazy... i mean everyone is, but i dont like to unleash it all at once!

I also have real motivation to take a dance class so i will make it happen. Afterwards i literally ran back to Sasha's because i had to pick up my stuff and most importantly i needed to go to the bathroom like NOBODY'S business and i refused to go there.... i like clean bathrooms what can i say?

well then we got to talking and i was playing with the puppy... at this point he didn't have a name so we just kept calling him he or puppy. trying to figure out a name that was not chocolate and i told her about the party and such what. I ended up staying there really crazy late but it was ok because it was nice talking and petting a puppy and eating more cookies! I got home by 4, then chatted with Krysta forever (pit fall of having a roommate you like and get along with really well! LOL). then i went to bed! Sasha even let me eat a cookie on her bed and i felt really special!

Day 199/365 (March 5, 2009)

I baked and ate a lot of brownies... but the birthday boy got them no worries!

I saw Rooms from front row and liked it alot. It seemed a little slow to me until Scottish Jewish Princess and then it was awesome! i cant wait to see it again... i went with Matthew and Mackenzie which made me happy because i hadnt spent real time with them in a while... then i hung out at TOL for a tiny bit of karaoke before going to Sidewalk Cafe to meet Karolina and see Frisco Verdes. The lights were too bright at karaoke and since i was barely there i only sang once.

technically i shouldnt talk about FV since they started playing well after midnight but i wanna break up my happy news posts. (this photo however was taken before midnight). THEY HAD LIKE 4 NEW SONGS AND THEY SOUNDED GREAT AND (stupid caps)... it was just fun to see them perform again, and i am sad i am missing the next show, but not too sad since i will be in Texas!

After the show something seriously awesome happened... and it is proof that "I am that good" so karolia asked me to be her Maid of Honor! but she did it in a fun/clever way!

She handed me a hangman game... it had no punctuation just dashes for the letters and slashes for the line breaks. She wouldnt give me any hint or subject and wouldnt even let me guess letters... she just said to figure it out.... and scarily i did on my first try

_ _ _ _/_ _ _/_ _/_ _/_ _ _ _/_ _/_ _ _ _ _   now if i am not amazing for figurng out will you be my maid of honor i dont know what i am!

Then after we chatted with the band we cabbed it to dianes parked car by NWS and i rode the subway with her to chambers street... then i got on my train there and headed home.

I didnt go to bed right away since krysta and i caught each other up on the happenings of our night,
