Day 334/365 (June 16, 2015)

After work I headed home and embarked on a 7.5 hour baking adventure. I really didn't think it would take that long and I ate way too many sugar cookies. Thankfully the sugar cookie dough i had made the night before had firmed up enough that I could roll it out and after each roll out i slowly added more flour to it... this made the cookies come out with various thickness and spread-outedness depending on when it was cut. This made them not my best sugar cookie attempt but I didn't really care because they were going on cupcakes and needed to be decorated.

Over the next several hours many dished were done, and I went on a cookie decorating rampage with some design ideas from Sasha and Karen. I made jock straps and thongs and they came out better than the boobs (complete with pasties) I made. They are for a Broadway Bares bake sale and the theme this year is tops and bottoms. I used candy melts in strategic places to imply bumps. My most scandalous decorating yet! I also made 75 mini red velvet cupcakes and frosting that once again not my best but still good. I got to the point of the night where I just didn't care anymore because i wanted it done. Did i mention i ate way too many cookies also?

I left the kitchen cleaner than when I began because I am actually good at picking up after myself.

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!

Day 332/365 (June 14, 2015)

Woke up bright and early, before Lola came in. Then I made her chocolate chip pancakes and made myself and Sasha a pancake with a cinnamon swirl in it... yummy! After breakfast we played "pass the ball" with the friends and Lola gave them story time. I tried to actually win to help her in the learning to not be a sore loser department but i actually lost... fail! She also caught me filming her story time... oops! Then she played with some legos. We had a good sleepover with her!

Later in the evning Sasha, Karen, and I went to see Ben David in his school musical. Oh man, i saw way too much of people I didn't nee to see but he did a great job and glad we could make it out. It was at Circle in the Square and before the show started the guy who works for Circle was so cranky and yelling very angrily at people for no valid reason which was annoying. After the show was over we discovered that it was pouring rain... all 3 of us in dresses and flip flops with no umbrella. In the 4 blocks home we became drowned rats from the really cold rain.

Day 331/365 (June 13, 2015)

Woke up earlier than I would have liked but what can ya do?! I tracked Sasha's 10K race and made an omelette for breakfast. Then I showered. When Sasha got back we started to watch another episode of Orange is the new black but we got a surprise when Ellyn brought Lola over very early! Good thing we were home. Needless to say we stopped watching it. After a bit I popped over to help Holly and Anna with Hedwig lotto, then rushed back home. Ellyn came back and we talked Lola's party. I am sad we will be missing it but glad I will be in NH with my family. I am still mating her cake though so I hope that it still tastes good the day of her party!

Then we had some fun with Lola and she worked on making a calendar for me. Then we tried very hard to convince her to not go with Sasha but failed, so Karen and I had a quiet evening. I fell asleep finally trying to watch the Game. Lola also played with the window markers and made herself as a mermaid in an underwater sea castle. Lola also toppled Sasha and Karen.

Fred is so cute.

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 329/365 (June 11, 2015)

Oh my gosh the morning was crazy! Ted had a bee in his bonnet or something but he kept asking me for different things like every 5 seconds so it was hard to put the information together with constant distractions. Then an old co-worker came in and it was nice to see him, but then I ran off for Softball.

I watched part of Curious Incident vs. Kinky Boots because I chatted with some familiar faces, then went over to watch the Les Miz vs. whoever they played game. Poor Penski wasn't feeling well so she wasn't playing so I got to chat with her which was nice, but OMG it was so hot, sweat was dripping down my legs where they were crossed and I was in the shade!

After the game ended I puttered in the park a bit waiting for the next game to start. Went to watch Davenport vs. I don't remember who. The girl from last week (Megan) was also there to watch so we chatted. The game was close and they had to have an extra inning before they thankfully won!

Then I went home and laid down because the heat was so overwhelming, I don't know how they all survived playing the heat!

Then i went out because there was a "Something Rotten" event at the Renaissance Hotel that was a complete sham/waste of my time. It was not a cast performance but the staff of the hotel performing the opening song with choreography and lip syncing. The good news was I found out I was seeing Something Rotten that night while there so I guess it wasn't too bad!

Got home again and showered then met up with Anna and Holly to kill some time before I met up with Neil to see Something Rotten. We were so close but I think of the front row seats A 103/104 are probably the best because of the shape of the stage. After seeing the show a second time I definitely do love it. so so much! I also finally had a moment of Christian Borle really does have incredible arms.

After the show Neil and I headed to Smith's Bar for a bit. Hadn't been in since it reopened. It was pretty nice until the very and because a live band started laying so it was hard to hear. All in all it was a lovely evening and I am so happy it worked out that way!

Day 328/365 (June 10, 2015)

Went to work, then came home and I embarked on a baking and arts and crafts palooza!

First I made browned butter rice krispy treats, then I made nutella chocolate chip cookies. After which I made a card for Briana, things to go on the side of the evil cookie place box so its name was blocked, and then I started Lola's card. I was so proud of myself because i freaking drew Pinkie Pie! Sadly i messed up my vision a bit but accidentally highlighting part of it with  sharpie when i didn't mean to, so now i want to see if i can fix it with white out or if I should just let it go.

I also found Charlie sleeping in the drier which is so dangerous but it was pretty cute. After the photo op I kicked him out with difficulty and shut it.
