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 345/365 (June 27, 2015)
up so early to leave left at 4 am...we made it to Attitash just before noon time. We only stopped a couple times along the way, one of which was at Trader Joes and thankfully the stuff was still cold by the time we arrived there!
After a quick drop off of our stuff we went to Walmart and got some stuff then back to the unit where we met up with everybody. Then we all left my mother behind and went strawberry picking which was so cute. Both Mike's got super into it and one box was 9 pounds! Then we went grocery shopping.
It was so nice seeing Tessa, Colson, Xavier, Sam, and both Mikes. Colson also likes to pretend he is a cat with the cutest meow.
Came back and we all made a yummy dinner and made s'mores for dessert. I also experienced severe mother issues throughout the day, i just don't know how to handle/help her. I spent a good portion of the day thinking I was going to find her dead.

Day 291/365 (May 4, 2015)
Got to work early and stayed for quite some time, then headed home to freshen up. It is a good thing i left for Long Island at 4, instead of 4:30. There was even more traffic than I had anticipated and it took me 2 hours and 26 minutes to get there! My average speed was like 18 miles per hour. I got there just about 6:30... so no time for dinner!
I went to Northport to see the Apollo Link concert. Thanks to a very nice theater employee, Todd, I was able to change my seat to front row center! Then Liz, the concession girl, was super nice and led me to yummy/bad decisions for my "dinner". I ran into JB III beforehand and he was like do you live on Long Island, and I was like nope! I didn't even know he knew me so that was funny.
The woman I ended up sitting next to was fun and a talker but she was a singer! She started to sing along and it was made worse because during the show they kept encouraging people to sing along! Then all around me were... ahhh!!!!! The concert itself was really pretty awesome. I can't wait to see it again next Monday because they will have ironed out the few kinks. Brandon kept promoting their swag which was pretty funny and I just cannot get over how ridiculous they all sound. Jake is an arrangement genius, and his use of a tuning fork became an ongoing thing, and Adam's voice just makes me want to throw things... so good! There was another boy by me that also got his seat to move up and he was into the concert like cray so that was nice to see.
After the show I chatted with them for a bit before heading off to Target! First I had to wait for the car because the theater had required free valet parking. I gave them my ticket and there was a sign that said it could take up to 15 minutes to get the car. 20 minutes later I was still waiting and realized the car was right out front. It had been there the whole time because no cars drove up and I asked again for the "key" and they were like oh sorry.
Then I headed off to Target and picked up a few needed things, then headed home. It is so nice being in a car by yourself. I was singing along loudly and car dancing and I just love road trips when there is no traffic. However I always end up with a sore throat after one.

Day 25/365 (August 11, 2014)
Such an early morning! The three of us got up early and packed the car, then headed back out on the road to come home. We made a little stop at my mom's to pick something up from her and had a visit with my nana, grandpa, mom, my cousin pammy, and the cute kitty Sophie.
Then it was back on the road... we made great time until NYC when we hot some bad traffic. It was so nice to finally get back home and see the boys! I have been doing all the laundry from the trip and some arts and crafts.
The first thing we did when we got home was watch last night's Big Brother since we missed it!

Day 21/365 (August 7, 2014)
Whew! It was an early morning as Sasha, Karen, and I began our road trip to Maine to see Marty in Legally Blonde. We made good time and ended up there in pretty good time. We checked into the hotel, unpacked, & met up with Marty for a bit. He took us over to Kennebunkport (& Kennebunck). we checked out some cute shops and I got a delicious lobster roll... yum! Then Karen and I got ice cream from a place she found online called Rocco's. We each got a speculoos and pretzel ice cream that was pretty much to die for!
Then we did a little grocery shopping and called it an early night. our room had a king sized bed (and a pull out sofa) but we all used the bed to watch tv and it was fun.
