Day 265/365 (April 8, 2015)

Today was mildly better in the work department, and I found out that Chrissy and Steph will be in Disney at the same time as me so I am extra super excited because it has been ages since I have seen them! Like 3 years i think so this will be awesome!

I headed home for a bit before going to the gym/training. I actually felt in pretty good spirits as I made my way despite being cold... I am so over cold. Training killed me per usual but I do enjoy it.

Then home and I finally won my battle with iMovie thanks to Ben David's help!

Fred and Charlie were holding vigil for their food and making us feel uncomfortable.

Day 291/365 (June 5, 2009)

anywho i didnt get much sleep since i had gotten in so late from karaoke and had to get up early to meet krysta at next to normal rush. she had been so insistent that i see aaron tveit in it before he left , she worked it out that she rushed the first part, then i would finish it out. it was drizzly and my pants and shoes got wet and the wind ended up making me really cold! i also had tucker with me which was totally fine and fun until he had to go potty and i had to move him to the wet street to go and he wouldnt and ended up with a very wet dog with a full bladder (paranoia now). anywho there was a person behind me in line that when i saw him he wicked familiar but i couldnt quite place him. well after i got my ticket and was just at the subway i realized why he looked so familiar... he was zeke (the baker guy) in high school musical that i saw out in texas!

anywho i got home and did a bunch of stuff... i took a much needed nap at one point... i would also like to point out that at some point during my sleep that night i did something and my toes were in pain! so eventually i headed out to meet up with krysta and steph. i chose to wear my boots since my sneakers were still wet and it was still raining. anywho i met them at a yummy place called rice and beans. after dinner krysta left us and steph and i walked for a bit until we ended up killing time inside the marriot marquis.

we got to the theatre and what did we find on the cast board there was an understudy on for aaron! how am i supposed to let go of my i really dont think aaron is a good performer if i cant see him in the role he is supposedly amazing in? well i didnt care so much since i dont really care and i was glad i was going to see what the story was about. steph and i took our seats and i saw jo ann so went over to chat for a bit. during intermission i ran into hsm guy and asked him if i was right... of course i was and that was pretty random and weird! at SD i also ran into someone who knew who SJ was! that night they also FINALLY announced that kyle dean was taking over for aaron in the show and well i started getting lots of people sending me links about it, which i appreciated so much :D

anywho the show: i thought it was great and i liked it as a better choice for best musical, but i didnt think it was as amazing as everyone had been saying and although the cast really was great i didnt think they were as great as everyone had been making them out to be (highly critical o know) and everyone kept telling me i would be nervous sitting in the front row because someone was so fierce and the story was so emotional i would be in tears like crazy... yea not scared at all and well it just didnt touch me emotionally. i decided i was like the tin man because we both apparently have no heart! well anywho the understidy that played gabe i thought was extremely good and i dont think there is any way aaron could have done a better job than him... he worked that character! i think overall in the show my favorite character (not actor) is the doctor... the "second" rock star one more so

anywho i headed home!

Day 276/365 (May 21, 2009)

Success! after how many weeks of trying i finally made it to a game of softball in the park!

i woke up on the early side and did my usual emma cuddle time, then got ready for the day. tucker and i left for central park to meet mark and got there right on schedule! I ran into neil which was nice and he showed us how to get to the field since well i suck with directions and got way lost last time! bumped into steph and carina, which was nice! the weather was perfect and we got a spot in the shade and were able to watch the game and chat and all that fun stuff... after tucker even went pee outside! he didnt walk as much as i would have liked him too but he did enough that he fell asleep on my lack the second i sat on the subway.

then i got home and got the last of my stuff together and said bye to emma and tucker and made my way to the train station, new rochelle bound. i received a very joyous welcome from my cousins and headed to their place. it was an enjoyable afternoon with the little ones watching a tiny bit of tv, reading, having yummy pizza, and playing games... phew let me tell you i played "kickball" and tag with my cousins and boy did i get a workout... i ran so much i got all itchy and sweaty and so red! but the proudest moment was when i outran my 6 year-old cousin dennis around the whole house because let me tell you that kid moves quick... so yea i was very pleased!

i also helped krysta through email which was difficult since she left her phone at work so she would email me and i would contact the different people through text and phone call then email her back! thankfully she was able to get her phone and it was not lost.

Day 258/365 (May 3, 2009)

i woke up feeling alot happier which was nice, and after some good puppy time i made my way out. It was raining, and he the streets were so water filled. i ended up getting soaked on my 25 minute walk tot he life cafe. sneakers were a pool, and my pants got hit so bad, it went all the way up to my knees!

Anywho Emilie wanted to celebrate her birthday at Life Cafe, so that is where i went. Emilie, Jennifer, Carina, Steph, Vicki, Jerri, Some other girl, and myself stayed there for like 2 hours (maybe a little more.) They very nicely didn't kick us out even after we payed. I really don't like the food at Life Cafe, yeek! my turkey burger was plain and burnt! Then we walked to Crumbs by union square and i was proud of myself for no breaking down and buying a cupcake! then we all headed uptown. i went to the NWS Box Office to buy tickets to ABz for dawn and myself. Ended up with great seats for tomorrow night! while there i ran into Ravi very quickly, and MKC and group of his friends holding up the line buying tickets. (not really holding up the line) then i got my tickets and headed back to kim's. i was able to finally make the pizza and do the dishes that i have made since i was here. Soon i am going to make sure i have all my stuff and head home, since Kim gets back tonight. I am watching a cheesy movie on ABC Family called Taking 5 and enjoying it quite a bit!

I also got bit by the organization/cleaning bug! i decided my closet needed sme work so i switched out the winter stuff and put in the spring stuff and i also reorganized it back into sections... it took a long time but felt wicked good!

Day 194/365 (February 28, 2009)

Got up earlier than planned and not sure why, ate some breakfast then went with Grace to help her with West Side Story Lotto. Ran into Sami, Penski, and then Carina and Stef.

The lotto guy is pretty funny and has a booming voice but i think his "we will call an alternate" policy incase someone doenst get all the tickets they said they wanted... yea i was called as the alternate only to wait in line and be told we don't have any more tickets for lotto. The other funny thing was during lotto there were two names that were called and the people didnt come forward because they werent there... well i was waiting in line these people came in and asked if lotto had been done yet and we said yes, and they asked if any names were called and people didnt come forward and we said there were two and he asked if they were adam or lauren and i was like on was lauren, and then asked her last name and it was it and i was like sorry! then the guy thought they could still get their lotto tickets somehow and he was set on his plan but she kept telling him it wasnt going to work... it made me chuckle.

Then i went to Wamu and closed out my bank account, yay for having a little bit of cash since i am without until Bank of America sends me my new ATM card... still peeved at Coldstone for causing that grief!

Had a little lunch of toast pizza and tomato and avocado... so much yum!

I came home and Krysta was watching one of her movies... not only does this not have "drama" but i saw some stuff that i did not need to be seeing. She also curled my hair all pretty like and i was going all vain and toss-tossing my hair all night!

Karolina came over to kill time after her wedding expo and before we went to go see boyz. We both seem to not see each other as much lately so its always nice to catch up, and we had dinner then made our way to NWS for Altar Boyz and Diane's anniversary celebration. She gave us pretty fun party favors, and i gave her a copy of Bare since she had never heard of it before!

The show was great... it is nice to see it after a little break, and Joey was on as Matthew. Karolina and I shouldnt be allowed to sit next to each other since we encourage each other with funny comments and whatnot.... always a blast!

We did a little photo shoot after the show then went to TOL... It was good fun and i got to speak with Clayton for a while (in picture above with Ravi). He is the drummer for Boyz and i missed him the last few weeks while he was working on another show. (in Seattle).  Also had a conversation with some others that involved my super math skills and a discussion of all the shows that have played at NWS.

Karolina also struck a deal for herself that resulted in a good thing... oy! LOL :D
