Day 361/365 (July 13, 2015)




Went to work for a good chunk of the day. had more texts with the roomies about moving plans and really i just want to give up, there is no point any more.

After i went to training which was pretty stupid since it hurt to move, but it was a good session. I used the foam roller on my sore various leg muscles and some of them hurt so bad tears almost happened.

Then I met up with Kim for the Hamilton first preview lotto... holy crap! There were probably at least 700 people there no lie! Lin came out and made a quick sweet speech. I give them credit because they were super organized and efficient. They so have a wristband policy which sucks because you can't just help your friends but in this case I totally understand because they are trying to prevent scalpers. Ran into a bunch of other people i knew there too, and after we lost Kim and I had a tiny catch up before I headed to Trader Joes.

Turns out Monday is their 2nd busiest night (after Sunday night). Honestly they should have made a line just to get into the store because the line was so long it wrapped all the way around to the dairy, through where the shopping carts usually are and down by the fruit to curve all around itself. I was in line for 30 minutes! It was so hard to move and think in there but they also have their line situation organized and they even refunded me the money for the two bags of dead broccoli i discovered the night before without my having brought them in!

Then i went for my Jenny appointment early so I don't have to squeeze that in tomorrow.

Came home, put groceries away, and then i made more yummy zoodles.

I also found out Sara Bareillis tweeted about the concert, woo!

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 355/365 (July 7, 2015)



Went to work then to trader joes and my jenny appointment. Then i went home to drop off my food and relax for a touch before heading out . I was meeting up with Megan and Hope for dinner at the Sugar Factory so I went 90 minutes early to put our name on the wait list. Then i went to kill time at a Coffee Bean until meeting with the ladies. good thing i got there when i did to put our name in because we still had to wait until 8:15 for a table!

We got a Berry Bliss goblet which let me tell you was no joke! so much stronger than the one i got last time! It was nice having a ladies night and catching up with Megan one last time before she moves back home to Nashville... gonna miss her!

When our evening was over w headed home and Hope and I had a lengthy much needed conversation about my life on my stoop. Unfortunately while we were doing this some creepy guy came over and was harassing us and planted a kiss on hope's very unwilling cheek. If Philippe had been there instead of random dude working at Brazil Brazil I know he would have helped us.

Earlier in the day had especially bad texts with the roomies about our moving situation and Sasha telling me things like just get over it.... that doesn't really work for people.

I also spent a good portion of the day trying to locate an emergency piano player since the one who was supposed to play tomorrow bailed.

Day 352/365 (July 4, 2015)





Spent Independence day by getting up early and having breakfast. Then Sasha and I saw It Shoulda Been You which I found pretty cute and funny. Then we went backstage after. One of the actors was asking about switching the night show to 7 pm. he was pretty funny!

Then i went to the office and printed off some stuff and went home to cut them out. I also went back to trader joes to get more zoodle supplies, but they were out of zuchinni so i used squash! It was as tasty but harder to spiralize due to shape,

Then i did some painting of the rainbows... fail!

Day 351/365 (July 3, 2015)




I got myself up on the earlier side and headed to trader joes to get some provisions!

Then I came home and after i ate breakfast I unpacked everything and did laundry. I also made the kitchen super clean, too bad it didn't last long :( Also caught up on more DVR stuff and made my way to Michael's to get stuff for a project Jess asked me to work on last night.

I made zoodles for dinner (zucchini turned into pasta via a spiralizer) and it was pretty awesome! it had the texture of al dente pasta and tasted so yummy!

Then I cut the poster board into the correct sizes.

Fred wants Sasha's stems.

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 339/365 (June 21, 2015)




Considering the late night last night I wok up way earlier than planned. After breakfast I headed to the cake store/michaels/trader joes. Then it was home! I finished decorating Lola's birthday card, finished making the cutie marks out of chocolate, and did some concert prep. Sadly the cutie marks turned out to be a major fail!

Sasha and I also watched (well I rewatched) Orange is the New Black during the day and at night I watched my Netflix DVD. I am still struggling with my life right now.

Charlie loves a good bag, and Fred loves when the couch is set up like a bed.

Day 333/365 (June 15, 2015)




Spent so much time at work and I felt very productive and like I didn't get much done. I also got a call while there that the Sara Chase concert was canceled on Friday... saddened by that!

I was also asked to make something for a Broadway Bares bake sale so I am excited by the idea I have in my head, hope I can pull it off! After work I went to the cake store to look for ideas/inspiration which I found, then I went to training. Ended up only doing 30 minutes because of a scheduling snafu and I am very flexible. I used that to run to Trader Joes since I needed a few things. So my favorite employee and we chatted theater of course. Then I headed home. It was actually really nice out I almost walked home but I had too much stuff from TJ to do that so I took the subway.

While at home i made a card for somebody and made the dough for the sugar cookies I have to make tomorrow. It seemed too loose but it had been a while since i made them and the apartment was a bit hot so i didn't want to add more flour in case it was okay after chilling. I checked the dough after i went to bed.. not okay! Tomorrow i am either going to have to hope adding more flour makes it okay or make a new batch of sugar cookie dough. I hope i don't have to do that because my egg count is limited AND sugar cookies take a whole lot of flour! Potential sugar cookie fail, I don't have time for you!

Charlie at bath time.

Day 330/365 (June 12, 2015)






Despite my fun evening out last night I still managed to get up and go to the office early! Got to the street just about 8:45 to discover that it was closed off because there was a transformer fire close by. The fire department had said originally that we could get onto the street in like 15-30 minutes. Around 9:45 with no sign of change I finally went home. I finished Pinkie Pie and did a few other tings before visiting Anna at her first shift (training) at the evil cookie place, then off to training... oops! There was a cute puppy on the way back!

Travis kicked my butt at training and then I went to Trader Joe's and back home. Finally i headed back to the office and made sure to leave out money for the cleaning lady... they had only opened the street up around 3:30! and our building just barely made the cut because it was roped off right after our door so the restaurant couldn't even get back in! I made my stuffed peppers again, yum!

Then I went back home and Sasha and I watched the first episode of season 3 of Orange Is The New Black.

Day 327/365 (June 9, 2015)




I got up early but couldn't decide what was best to wear for the weather so I had a slow morning and got in so much later than i meant to!

After work I jetted up to trader joes and jenny, then back home for a bit before heading to training. While at Jenny Signey said she noticed my arms were looking toned and all i could think was don't you see the flab? but the compliment was nice! Concerning training: Oh man it hurt! Barely made it home.

The rest of the night was pretty low key. Had some more yummy Shishito peppers and Charlie shows no care for poor Fred... "ima just step over you" he says.

Also Something Rotten really has the most brilliant advertising!

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 320/365 (June 2, 2015)






Went to work then headed out to my Jenny appointment and Trader Joes. Rain, so much rain, and cold! Got home put stuff away and then relaxed for a touch before heading out to training. Boy oh boy this was an intense one! I sweat so much and it was difficult but i got through! Naturally i went to the evil cookie place to celebrate... oops! Key Lime and White Island are yum!int of coconut flavor as I read online, but it didn't work... probably didn't use enough.

Fred and Charlie being cute.
