Day 365/365 (July 17, 2015)

I did it!!!!

Another year down.

Karen, Sasha, and I got up pretty early to drop Sasha off at her mom's house before heading out to Providence for Jess and Coleen's weeding. We made it up there pretty quickly, then had a quick visit with Pip and headed to Providence.

Thankfully we didn't hit much traffic overall and had time to make a side trip to Wahlburger's in Hingham, MA. The burger was pretty great and I got a milkshake and onion rings... yum!

Then we made our way to Providence, checked into the hotel, and got our nails done. Then we cleaned up a bit and went off to the rehearsal dinner. It was a lovely time and we got our instructions... then Karen and I did some shopping at Target before calling it a night.

Day 363/365 (July 15, 2015)

I popped out the free Wahlburgers truck to get the free burger which was pretty tasty, then back to work. Then when I was done i sped over to drop something off to Shetler Studios, then raced back home. Saw Pip for a hot second before changing, gathering my things, cleaning my foot since I stepped in dog pee and heading out to Sasha's car. Then I made my way to Doylestown, PA.

I left early to allow for traffic and getting lost, only turns out I hit no traffic and didn't get lost so I got to town super early! It had not started raining yet so I was at the Park. They have this super cool castle that is the playground for children that little Tamra was super jealous of! The picture does not do it justice because it does not show how ginormous it was and how many things it had to play with and cool slides. After i got out of the car the heaven's opened up so back in I went. I did however end up getting lost trying to find the rain location. Once i found it I made a failed attempt at finding a place for a quick bite so I killed some time in the car then headed in.

There were so many tweens and little kids and they were so excited for the concert. They were going on about how they had the best seats and they hoped that they could go onstage and that they would sing One Direction. Diane and MaryAnn ended up coming as well.

The concert was so fun and cute. I won't lie I got a little teary eyed hearing Travis and Jesse sing again, and glad I was filming it. My filming game started well with my tripod but then people kept getting up to dance and slowly i was like what ever so not my best filming work. They ended up doing an encore of a One Direction song, the one that made the young kids lose their mind and that ended up being a fun filming moment because i went to the edge of the stage like a boy band concert would have that was being broadcast... some fun angles and shots of the crowd wanting to high five them. Some of the kids did get to go up on stage and Jesse betrayed me by pulling Diane up and not me claiming it was because I was filming... tripod dude! haha oh well.Mike was also lovely and the other guy Marshal did a good job. In short The Boy Band Project was a hit!

After the concert I pulled out my poster and played the role of fan girl, and we took a few pictures. It was so nice to see Jesse again and

Then home I headed, sadly got lost on the way home and had to go through an extra toll, womp womp. Then Sahsa and I watched Big Brother before I headed off to bed.

Day 282/365 (April 25, 2015)

Got up and Sasha and I headed to Pick up Pip because she wanted to take him on some errands. Then we went to Michael's and Wal-Mart and Trader Joes, Then dropped off some Playbill Flowers for an order she had. Pip was a very good car buddy and did very well in the stores.

Then we went back home... so much traffic. Sasha let Pip come inside for a tiny bit and Charlie wanted nothing to do with him, his tail swelled. At first Fred and Pip sniffed each other and then Fred hid under my bed until he was gone... then Sasha took Pip to pick up Ben David and I unpacked everything. Thankfully thanks to my smarts our frozen stuff stayed frozen despite being out of cold for over 2 hours!

I finally made pizza crust out of cauliflower and then Sasha and I went for a run. It turned out very well... I was impressed!

Day 65/365 (September 20, 2014)

Another super LONG day, but super great day! It was an early wake up and then Sasha, Karen and I went to pick up Lola for a day of suburbia. We headed to the pick your own veggies and fruit farm. Lola had a grand time helping us pick apples/veggies. There was a "little village" made up of little versions of typical town buildings like the post office, fire station, school, church, etc... She had so much fun running from place to place and making friends with any other little kid. Then we headed to a Michael's and then to Sasha's mom's house to see Pip and her brother's cat Aticus. Poor guy was shaved recently and didn't look too happy about it. It was good to see Pip... i miss that "little" guy!

Then we headed out to another Michael's and Target for some final shopping before heading back home. We hit some traffic so it took a really long time and we didn't get back until after 7. Then I had just a bit of time to eat and shower before heading out again!

It was a concert by Actor Friend at 54 below and it was so good/funny!. It started just about 11 and didn't end until after 1 am! everyone had something they were talking about before their song so we heard all kinds of funny stories from the various performers. Kyle Dean was one of them and he spoke abut his disastrous college auditions and tried to recreate that for his performance. That meant he sung Corner of the Sky but it was probably the funniest I have ever seen him. Ellyn was also one of the people and spoke about her time working at Ellen's Stardust Diner.... she is so freaking funny it hurts to laugh.

Day 16/365 (August 2. 2014)

It was a long but fun day. I got up early and rushed Bullets Over Broadway where i met some lovely people I spent the morning speaking with. Once I had my tickets I headed home and got ready to go on a roommate adventure.

Karen, Sasha, and I left the city and went shopping at the wonderful AC Moore and Walmart. We also went to a pick your own vegetable farm where we found giant zuchinnis. They could be lethal weapons and it was 6 for $5! We also picked our own wonderfully juicy peaches... yum! There was a horse just roaming around and she was very nice. She only wanted me for the peaches I was caring, but its all good!We also went to Sasha's mom's house to have a visit with Pip.

Once we got home there was some foodage and then I headed out to see Bullets Over Broadway. Stage Door was a mad house but I am a pro so I was right up front without having left before curtain call was over. There was this gentleman who kept pressing up into me though and it was on purpose so I finally exploded at him (politely) and told him he needed to give me some personal space and not push up into me. It was crazy but no one else was pushing or shoving, only him. Zach Braff was so nice when he came out... le swoon! He thanked me for the cake pops and said I made some people backstage very happy.

I had issues getting the pictures from my phone so they are screen caps

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 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 356/365 (August 9, 2009)

so today i woke up and headed with Pip to wicked lotto to help chris and friends out. Luckily one of his friends won and then i took Pip back home to sasha's. he was so happy to be back and once we got around the wicked area he knew where we were and basically ran the whole way home. i then spent a lot of the day there chatting and catching up and beginning the renaming of my picture folders before i back them up. i started with may of last year and have to go through july of this year... a MAJOR undertaking to say the least. i am not renaming every picture but instead each day folder will get certain key words so when i want a picture i can search the word and find it easier. Pip still stayed cuddled with me a great portion of the day and at one point sasha made marty and i some extremely yummy turkey!

i also left with krysta at one point to get an 8 cent cupcake on 72nd st. it was ok but not fabulous! but it was exciting because when we got there there was an extremely long line and we were like oh well but we found out the line was for people who had just found out about the deal and were waiting for the text to get sent to them... since we already had the text we got to go straight in and not wait in line to get our cupcake... i paid with a dime and let them keep the change LOL!

anywho finally the time came and i headed home and i of course watched big brother and laughed so hard when jeremy piven made a guest appearance. everyone was so excited and i just kept thinking mercury poisoning and that if i were a contestant i would have said mercury poisoning? then sat down. i also thought it was so cute because one of the people was like i just met jeremy piven and he is a celebrity and i can say i met him... and i thought back to the days when i cared about that and how excited i would have been (joey fatone the first time i saw him in rent anyone, especially carol?) but now these days i just dont care. i mean clay aiken is someone i used to be batty about and he almost bumped into me when leaving billy elliot and i saw him an i was like o clay aiken just passed me what were you saying?

anywho i also got celery and carrot sticks ready to keep my tummy satisfied while waiting in line for the opening of the box office for bye bye birdie. i am pretty excited to see the show and you cant go wrong with $10 tickets, thanks bank of america for the help!

emma also kept going on my lap because she missed me so, it was cute but really annoying because it was hard to type.

the countdown has begun!!!! this is DAY 10

Day 355/365 (August 8, 2009)

looking at my blog trying to work up motivation to write about today with my sad headphones

i went to bed so late and had to get up so early for my apple genius appointment. i basically got a little over three hours sleep and i was NOT a happy person. i made my way to the apple store on 14th street. just before i got there the right ear bud of my headphones decided to stop working which would have been fine if my phone was under a warranty but alas it is not so no replacement of headphones would happen for me and i will now have to suffer :(

anywho i really thought there was nothing wrong with my computer but it turns out they have to fix the back light and replace something on the mother board! so i have a couple of days to organize everything and back it up before the parts come in and i have to drop it off for them to fix it. The apple guy loved me though and it paid to be nice to him because even though my headphones werent under warranty he tried looking around to see if there was a pair he could just give away. sadly there was not so that was a fail but at least he tried :D

i came home and ended up beginning to watch a lot of tv and krysta eventually left and i instead of getting my act together to go work on my computer i ended up falling asleep and getting a nap that helped me but i will regret since it is almost midnight as i type this and i am not tired.

anyway i finally woke up because krysta had come home and discovered that Pip had Peed on her clothes and ironing board (should have closed her door before she left like i have been trying to do but i guess not everyone gets the point). so i worked on cleaning that all up by washing everything by hand so the pee wont settle in until it gets put through a washing machine. eventually she ended up making cookies and i ate a bunch of those.

i am really hoping i get some sleep before i head out for my plans tomorrow... and tomorrow begins the 10 day countdown to my final 365!
