Day 359/365 (July 11, 2015)


























spent whole day being very low key. watched tv, did some more crafting, i mean until like 3 pm i only had like 400  steps or so! Charlie did try to eat the plastic from my lunch.

I made very conscious food choices throughout the day in anticipation of the color run that night. Then I showered and got dressed to meet up with Sydney and Katherine.
This Color Run 5K was so far out in Brooklyn... It was a half hour bus ride from the last stop on the 2 train to where the shuttle took us to the event! Middle of no where!

We rocked it out, and were smart and got to start in the second set of runners and they started it early so that made everything so much better!

We split up during the run... i technically made it 3.1 miles in 32 minutes and 55 seconds but the course was actually a touch longer so it took me 35 minutes to complete which I found so impressive. It was fun running in the dark with all the glow.

After it was over i was sad because they didn't hand out medals like they said they were but whatever... then met up with the others and we had our own dance/color throw party. Took some fun pictures and then decided to head home! One couple who took a group photo for us also took a selfie of themselves which I found funny!

When we got on the subway there were like only two non-color runners on there at first. There was also a bug incident and some guy was the hero and killed the bug who was reigning terror on us all and he got some applause for his efforts! Thankfully I ended up making it home just before midnight and I decided i was sleeping in my color.

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 357/365 (July 9, 2015)






Went to work, then i headed to work then I headed to watch the Davenport softball team beat On The 20th Century. It was a fun game, and so was a little Andy Karl.

Then i grabbed Sasha's car to pick up my color run packet in Brooklyn. The traffic there was not cool but not tragic either. Found parking relatively easy and picked up the packet and my tutu. There was this fun water play area and roller skating area in the park which was nice. Then i made the trip home which took forever because traffic was a nightmare, and i took a wrong turn. However i spent about 56 minutes "driving" (I use the term loosely) going between the corner of 47th and 6th to 47th and Broadway... One street, only moved a couple of feet every several minutes!

It was so good to finally get home and eat something!

Then Katherine popped in later to pick up her packet.

Charlie was crazy for Karen's Popsicle plastic, he was really going for it.

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 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 354/365 (July 6, 2015)




Had one of those i really dont want to go back to work moments when i woke up, but that i did!

Spent most of the day at work, when i got home Charlie was all up in my business... don't leave me again he says!

Day 353/365 (July 5, 2015)




Went to brunch with Sasha M. (Big Brother friend, not roomie) and her friend visiting from out of town, Kathy. We ate at Delta Grill and had some yummy food! I tried craw fish for the first time and we had beignets, then I spent the rest of the day crafting.
