Day 362/365 (July 14, 2015)

Started the day off at work, then I went home to relax for a bit before heading out to babysit Harper. I ended up being lay and taking the subway to Chelsea Market, only I am a moron and wasn't paying attention so I missed the stop and got off at W 4th instead. Since I had a whole bunch of time I figured this was a sign saying you should be walking so I decided to do that instead of going back uptown one stop. This turned out well, as I was getting close to the Duplex I heard my name being called out so I looked up and found Hope with her two little charges. They were adorable and shy. We chatted for a a minute or two before continuing on our journeys. Always nice to have run ins like that, NYC is vast but so small at the same time.

Got to Chelsea Market early so I poked into a couple of places but resisted temptation. Then I met up with Harper, her dad, and two of his friends. They finished their dinner and then I took her back to NJ.

When we got to Grove street there was this nice area protected from cars and a guy playing violin and children running around playing .She ended up running into some of her friends so she ran around with them and danced her heart out to the music. He broke a string at one point and was so sad the music stopped. Luckily after a quick trip to the pet store where she played with a kitty waiting to be adopted he fixed his violin and began playing again. When i tried to dance just like her she laughed a little and said "I think i am a bit better at this" rough man!

Then we went back to her apartment to do a quick change and headed to the park to play her favorite sport, baseball. Only there were not other kids around so she said it was lonely and wanted to paly on the playground. We did that for a bit but once again she was sad there were no other kids to play with.so we went back. Then we listened to some music and she got ready for bed. SHe took a while to settle down and fall asleep but she was snuggling with me which was cute. She also had this killer tutu costume I wish i had when I was little. Harper also has the coolest bed, no clue why she doesn't like to sleep in it!

Then I watched Ghost Whisperer until her dad came home. I missed the Path train by a few seconds and had to wait an hour for the next one to come, sleep felt very good when I got home!

Day 338/365 (June 20, 2015)

Got up early and Karen, Jess, and myself met up with Avi for breakfast at The Sugar Factory. We shared two goblets and I had such a yummy breakfast (Apple Pie Waffles). Then we popped into a little market and walked back to my place via the Highline where it rained on an off. The Highline had a Lego thing so we added to it, i finished some staircases and left a "T"

Then on the way home we popped into another market that had a restaurant called "The Cannibal" and I still have issues with its name!

Then to my apartment for a few hours. Everyone ended up napping, though I only got in like 5 or 10 minutes, the others were nap champs! Then we got ready and headed out for the official start of Jess' bachelorette party! She was wearing a tiara and sash that both said "Bachelorette" so no mistaking our fun. We met up with her friend Tricia (and Richard) and played some mini-golf. While there a mom had a little boy tell Jess congrats which was so cute. Then we took an uber to our restaurant (Tijuana Picnic) and the food turned out to be super tasty! There was a bar next door with arcade games so we popped in there for a tiny bit to kill some time before we went to Escape the Room.

Escape the Room was really fun even though we didn't escape. Missed two locks only, so we were close! I was disappointed that there was another group placed in there with us that we had to work with. I don't know if they helped us or hurt us. The monitor did tell us that we worked really well together and that we not only solved things in a different order than most people but she was impressed that we didn't ask for our first clue until 20 minutes had passed.

After that was over we headed to a "secret" speakeasy but they were full... so we tried a couple others until we ended up in PDT which is hidden in a place called Crif Dogs. It was pretty cool I must say, would love to check out some other secret bars! Then we ended up calling it a night around midnight and got some pizza before heading home. All in all it was a successful night and I am glad she had a great time!

Day 316/365 (May 29, 2015)

After i left work i went home and relaxed a bit before making funfetti cupcakes with my hunger games decorations. The frosting didn't come out as sweet s usual but it was pretty dang tasty! I also got my snazzy new lifeproof phone case to keep it safe. Some of the cupcakes got silver disco dust, and I sprayed the chocolate mockingjays gold... when I was outside in the sun they really sparkled.

Then i headed out and delivered the cupcakes to the various places and headed down to training. Then i rushed up to Shakespeare in the Park to pick up the tickets I had won for Sasha and Karen and walked home through the park.

Later that night at home Fred was drinking water from one of Sasha's abandoned mugs.

Day 311/365 (May 24, 2015)

I got up and headed to run an errand before meeting up with Holly and Anna to hep them with the Hedwig lotto. It turns out they were off by an hour so I ran to drop off Broadway Hunger Game bribes at Matilda, Jersey Boys, and The Book of Mormon, then back to them. (had a lovely conversation with Christine inside JB for a bit which was nice.) While helping with the lotto I got a few people to make videos in support of Jake! Then we went to the evil cookie place and after I went to Times Square/the TKTS steps and found people to make videos as well. Later on i went to the Kinky Boots Stage Door and got a bunch of people to make videos! All using the sign i made the night before with the glittery logo I was proud of! The sad thing is I forgot to put my vivo smart on so all the walking in the morning didn't register :(

Later on I got a Jersey Boys support picture, so yay success!

Eventually Kayleigh, Sasha, Karen and I went out for a run, which was nice after the wonky start. If I had been wearing my band all day i would have exceeded the step goal for the day but instead it looks like i failed majorly! womp womp. Then Karen, Kayleigh, and I went to get ice cream... yum!

Day 301/365 (May 14, 2015)

After i headed home to relax a bit, then met up with Brandon to get my memory card back and took off in pursuit of new clothes. Always a daunting task for me. Let me tell you I found all these cute dresses in the Adam Levine line but couldn't get any of them because they don't account for the fact that girls might have larger than a B cup... I was crushed. I did find two dresses at Old Navy eventually, though I really only like one of them. Then I met up with Holly and Anna to help with Hedwig lotto. After I went to meet up with Andrey. After a run into Midtown Comics we went to the evil cookie place. I finally tried the corny cowboy (corn cookie with jalapeno and cheddar cheese and bacon) and let me tell you new favorite! Then I went home and after dinner I helped Sasha rip covers off of "playbills" for a project. Eventually i forced myself outside after 11 pm to go for a brief walk to hit the step goal for the day, and then BED!

I also copied Lola's book and bound a printed copy of it.

Day 300/365 (May 13, 2015)

I walked 4 miles uptown for an appointment then i headed out to New Rochelle for the day. I got the most loving greeting from Penny. I spent the day with her and Paula. We walked around Larchmont for quite some time, and then eventually went to Target, Michales, and Trader Joes and I spent some time with Clare, Winnie, and Dennis after they got home from school. Although at one point while were out Winnie made chocolate chip cookies and when we got back i knew what it felt like to be my roommates because the smell was intoxicating and i just wanted to shove them in my mouth. Eventually i decided that it was okay to have a little bit of the cookie action. After dinner i went back home.

Also please note in the Larchmont Train Station vending machine you can get a snack or a phone charger.

Day 299/365 (May 12, 2015)

work work, womp womp. Then i walked to my Jenny appointment where i got good results for the week. It feels good to be back on track. Then i rushed home to change and headed down to training.  OMG i got murdered during training! Then i rushed home and took a quick shower then headed out to 54 Below to film a concert. Had no idea what it was or who was in it but it ws a pretty good show, so well done people involved! Then finally home for good!

Fred sleeps in interesting ways.

Day 298/365 (May 11, 2015)

Went to work, then headed to Central Park for the Shout Olympics. Man oh man was today hot and muggy! I need new clothes because I was melting! Had some fun in Sheep Meadow failing at Hula hooping, then I headed home. I made sure i was ready for filming tonight and resisted the urge to bake. Then I headed over to Birdland to film the Apollo Link concert. I got lucky and they gave me a rock star spot but the stupid Birdland people made do the table minimum even though I didn't ask to sit there but there wasn't time to complain so I let Holly and Anna order a dessert because i couldn't eat anything from their menu... it pained me to see the beautiful cheesecake but i was proud of myself for not giving into temptation!

I chatted with them until the show began. The show was wonderful and much tighter than last week's show. I could listen to them sing for hours they are so ridiculously talented. Also ran into someone I know from a rush line so it was nice to chat with him for a bit.

At one point during the day i got a score of just over a million in tsum tsum and i was very proud of myself!

Charlie also got all up in my business per usual!
