Day 358/365 (July 10, 2015)

Was at work almost the entire day which was not the plan, then went to run some errands. I popped into a GNC, Michaels, Harmon Cosmetics, and Trader Joe's. Went home and put food away then I went to the kinky boots lotto. I wanted to see the show since Jake was on as Charlie but i don't like the lotto seats so much, so I was torn. I met up with Holly who was definitely trying and she knew i was coming but she still only put down for 1 ticket so i read her the riot act and was like you always always always put down for two tickets no matter what.

I did end up winning but decided to just get the ticket for Holly because I knew the seat would be in the box and there is no point going to see the show if you can't see half of it. Then I went with her to the evil cookie place while she ate a cookie which was torture. lovely convo with her but i wanted a cookie so badly and i remained strong. Also ran into Zach and Brian. Then Anna took her break and I went for more torture with her and Holly while they ate pizza for dinner. It hurt being strong and not giving into temptation but it was nice to chat with them.

Then i went home and had dinner and worked on some arts and crafts for the wedding... different rainbow options.

I made super yummy cauliflower fried rice.

Day 324/365 (June 6, 2015)

Got up on the earlier side and headed for a walk downtown to Michaels, Burlington Coat Factory, and Trader Joes. While on my way Paula texted me telling me that Dennis was in a play tonight and tomorrow if I wanted to come. This sent me into a torn tailspin about what to do because I had plans this whole weekend and wanted to go support him, I wish I had known sooner because I would have factored that in. In the end I decided that i wasn't going out to New Rochelle that night because of selfish reasons, but i was looking forward to my dinner plans and needed to do that video for Coleen and Jess, and it would be tiring to go out there.

When I got home I helped Sasha with more flower stuff and eventually headed over to Hedwig to shoot my video. thankfully it turned out well despite all the people there.

Then it was a quick change and I went to help Holly and Anna with Kinky Boots lotto... they got in thankfully! Then we went to the evil cookie place for a while and finally i went home and cooked dinner. Christian Borle came in while we were there. I made shishito peppers for the first time... it was a success... hello new food obsession!

After dinner since it was so nice out i went out with Sasha for a run, only after about 1.7 miles I had to walk back because my back started to spasm and it hurt really bad!

Stuff on Fred and Charlie fighting for room on the table amidst the flower explosion!

Day 275/365 (April 18, 2015)

Sasha, Karen, and myself headed out to Michael's early in the morning, after Lindsay got in from Florida. Then we headed back home. I swung by the Kinky Boots lotto to help Holly get a ticket for the matinee.

Then did some mild helping on the Playbill flower front, and finally headed out to pick up Harper. We walked to Central Park. She played in the fountain for a bit and made friends with this little girl. She was also there with her younger brother and sister and dad. Then we all headed to the Playground. Harper really liked the little girl an when they had to leave she kept hugging her and I didn't think she was going to let her leave! The little girl even told me she thought I seemed like a really good babysitter. I exchanged numbers with the dad which made me feel pretty good since I looked yucky and he actually was pretty cute.Harper also told me they were getting a new Hedwig in Hedwig and the Angry inch so that she could go see it since it is inappropriate right now... It took all I had not to laugh! She was also telling me she was very strong because she has a 3 pound kettle bell that she can lift. After the park we stopped into Westerly market for a snack and headed to the courtyard until her mom was done with the show. Then i went back home and helped more with the flowers, and went to Aladdin to try and get some extra playbills. They were so helpful there and gave me all the extra playbills that weren't used from the matinee... like they radioed the other levels for them!

Then i went home to drop them off and met up with Holly and Anna. We went to Westway diner and I was so goo. I thought i was being healthy again... ha! Then we headed back to my apartment. Anna helped cut wires for the stems and I did some mild helping. Karen was really doing a great job. I also baked some Reese's pieces Blondies for Ravi's party tomorrow.

Eventually I went back out to Matilda to try and get more playbills. They started to be helpful but then weren't but luckily I had quite a few before leaving! and Holly and Anna got some too... then I went to McDonald's to get Karen and Sasha coffee. Did some more helping and then crashed.

Day 91/365 (October 16, 2014)

I went to work and then I went to the gym and then I came home and was lay on the couch for a bit. I planned on lottoing Kinky Boots but almost missed it because I didn't realize it was a 7 pm curtain until super close to pull time. I met a very nice girl and we were lotto buddies and I won! so then I went home, had dinner, and got cleaned up before heading out to the show.

The lotto seats really are terrible in the boxes! I missed a whole part of the stage for the first act, luckily I was able to move during intermission! When I got to my original seat the girl's sister was there and she gave me a note from her and she explained she gave the ticket to her sister since she was moving and hoped I didn't mind. It was just a really nice thing, and made my night a bit better! Jake was really very god as Charlie, though it took him until Everybody Say Yeah to let go of some of his nerves but overall he gave a solid performance and I would see it again. I do however wish Billy Porter would just leave already. His voice is so tired and busted and hurts to hard him struggle to hit the notes, yet the audience eats him up and I am like why? Saw Ellyn after for a brief moment and she gave me a in jest hard time about coming to see Jake as Charlie and not her as Lauren... oops! I did see her months ago though!
