Day 356/365 (July 8, 2015)

Went to work then went to Staples to meet up with Joey N. and Andrey to copy some sheet music. Joey was so late but time wise we ended up being okay and he thankfully found a piano player who could come help us. Though at the end of the session she sprung a very high price on us that she hadn't disclosed before so that was pretty much highway robbery!

Then we headed off to the rehearsal studio and spent the next two hours rehearsing with various people. It was pretty incredible hearing the songs come to life in person and got me so excited/less worried about the concert. However Joey N. and I went to a Starbucks after to plan some more stuff that basically made me crazy worried again about different things!

When I got home I made more yummy zoodles for dinner.

Fred is a goofball.

Day 342/365 (June 24, 2015)

Since it was too hot yesterday to bake I popped into the evil cookie place to bring day old treats so they could have something. I also realized i forgot my breakfast and lunch at home which sucked!

I ate a few cookies and felt sick, oops! We had a very long meting over the day and I had to duck out early because of training. I was also starving since I didn't have lunch so I ate two bananas and was feeling very stressed because of all i needed to do.

Turns out that was a winning combination because i was a beast during training. I plowed through everything and Travis even had to add stuff not planned from his list, and had time to stretch! I mean i did 20 jump squats with out stopping!

Then i went home and tackled my massive to do list (which grew after photo was taken) and I knocked everything off except the clouds for the rainbow because I broke the rainbow and had to fix it... need to come up with a plan B... then we watched the premier of BIG BROTHER!!!!

Day 99/365 (October 24, 2014)

I got a much later start than I was expecting while heading out to MA, but thankfully there was only one spot where i voided major traffic and was able to take a different road so I had smooth sailing. I love singing at the top of my lungs when alone in the car! Please note how much stuff i packed to go away for one night! In my defense a great deal of it was my baking stuff for cake making/decorating.

Let me tell you Colson is one of the most energetic 2 year old boys I have ever met. He wanted me to follow him around and sit everywhere and kept grabbing my hand and melting my heart. After a couple hours I had just enough time to say hi to Tessa before having to go take my mother speed shopping because her ride fell through. The last thing I needed to add to my day was that but I had to because she needed stuff for the party. I made us do shopping very fats and attempted to upgrade my phone but of course they were sold out for the day so I failed! I also found out my Nana was placed in a nursing home that morning since she is becoming very difficult to care for because she is getting very violent, and of course that means there is much family drama.

Then I got back to Becky's and had a sleepover with Tessa that involved her helping me bake the cakes for Colson's party and playing Life on my phone. I even had some time to chat with Becky which was nice since I do miss her lots, but it was nice having a few moments to myself before going to bed to unwind since i was extremely strssed and overwhelmed today

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 257/365 (May 2, 2009)

The day started off as a lazy day. Me and the puppy spent quite a bit of time playing and keeping each other company, whilst watching a lot of tv. Finally i realized i needed to swing by my apartment even to drop off my laundry so i could be able to bring home my pizza making stuff easily on sunday. Even though i was in a weird mood i got up and headed out. It should not have taken that long to get home, but alas between the subway running local this weekend, and the construction happening around columbus circle, it took close to 45 minutes just to get from 14th st to 59th st! once past there we zipped along at a normal pace.

Going home ended up being the worst thing. between the long uncomfortable ride home, my already weird mood, my OCD in full effect, and severe discomfort at the clothes i was wearing, walking in and seeing the place a complete and utter disaster while smelling right foul of animal urine just sent me on overload. there was new furniture we dont have room for strewn about with other furniture like things, and a BIG mattress on the floor in my room interfering with the air mattress set up for our guests, and blocking the walkway to my bed leaving barely any floor space, and i couldnt get in my closet to put my laundry away. instead i made my bed and laid the clothes out on bed to get them ready for hanging when i can get in. stressed was an understatement, and a tizzy i was in!

this all sent me into a downward spiral of an emotional mess. i just wanted to get my pizza dough, get to kim's, and make pizza and crash. Well i got out at 28th to go to Whole Foods and the only dough they had left was frozen solid which meant no pizza for me and then i got to kim's and was starving! i ended up ordering a very yummy cheeseburger and onion rings. After more puppy time and tv i finally fell asleep. On the subway back i eneded up randomly listening to Scott Alan's Dreaming Wide Awake and it helped me calm down a little, which was nice.

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!
