Guys! Guys! Guys!

Yay!  First rehearsal! I am supes excited about this show.  It is gonna rock the socks offa everyone who sees it!  And I am gonna sing the shizz outta it!  First read thrus rock.

I even got to nap for an hour and a half before I headed over there.  I actually think this opening, nap rehearse, repeat act might actually work out.

OMG, I am soooo tired.  I just got off an 8-hour opening shift for the second day in a row, ran an errand, bused it home, showered and am now about to nap before I head to my first Tempest rehearsal of the summer (EEEE!), but seriously?  So, happy pants about my 2 days off...

Out!

Hi-ho, Hi-ho

blouse: American Apparel, trousers: Express, flats: Linea Paolo from Nordstrom, accessories: black beaded necklace, Relic watch, tribal earrings

Literally just got home from dinner with la mama (yum, BBQ chicken, scallop potatoes and caprese salad!) and am going to head to bed.  Because as much as an 8-hour opening shift kicked my ass today, I get to do it all over again tomorrow, only an hour earlier... Blearg.

It was a long day, but it was a good day and I am glad I got my first 8-hour open outta the way.  Tomorrow I will be napping like a mofo in the afternoon to ensure I can make it through rehearsal and then I get my weekend (and get to prepare for my Midsummer callback on Thurs--YIKES!)

Twin Shadows Remix

blouse: H&M, jeans: BDG from Urban, shoes: Sperry Top-Siders from Nordstrom, accessories: Relic watch, crest necklace gifted, orange diamond earrings

Just got home from a five hour shift and wandering around Folklife for a couple of hours.  It was nice to get out there and spend some time with people for a while after yesterday's shut in.  Although it was supes nice not to have to do anything.

I work at 530am tomorrow and open on Tues, so it is supes exciting that I get a low-key night tonight and a whole day off yesterday.

Aine is moving in slowly but surely and I think I will officially have a roomie again starting tomorrow! And I start rehearsal for The Tempest on Tues (so I'll get to practice my open, nap, rehearsal routine for the first time, but with nothing to do the next day).

I am also going to see if I can get a massage appointment for one of my days off sometime soon...

Looking Forward

blouse: Old Navy, pants: Express, shoes: Blink from Asos, accessories: Relic watch, mirror earrings, crest necklace gifted

Yesterday was my first official long shift at work and I think I did a pretty good job of it, if I do say so myself and then went ahead and spent some more time standing and cheering for my Mariners (totes beat  the Yankees! w00t!), but now my back is killing me.

No yoga this morning because I am trying to give my back a break, but the day is beautiful, so I am sorely tempted to spend some time outside at Folklife... we shall see

Can't Hardly Wait

blouse: Old Navy, jeans: BDG from Urban, oxfords: BDG from Urban, belt: Kenneth Cole Reaction from Nordstrom Rack, accessories: Relic watch, Enerjewels necklace

Today was my last day of only training and starting on Friday I get to start clocking in as a barista and working regular (read: long ass) hours. But, luckily, I get tomorrow off.  And I plan on doing absolutely nothing.  By the end of my four-hour shift today, my back was starting to bug me again, so I am gonna just keep doing the muscle relaxants/pain killers drill tonight and all day tomorrow, so that I can be ready for a real shift on Fri.

I think I'm gonna see if I can get in to get a massage early next week as well and maybe even do a little yoga on Saturday.  Seriously, trying to get back into the swing of things and make sure my back is ready for it too.  I actually think that working standing up is better for my back than when I was sitting at a desk all day, every day... Blearg. So over this whole "being hurt" thing...

I am super excited to start rehearsals on Tuesday.  It should be supes fun!  Tempest w00t!

Wanted

blouse: H&M, jeans: BDG from Urban, shoes: Sperry Top-Siders from Nordstrom, accessories: Relic watch, Charlotte Russe necklace, dangly silver earrings

Well, unfortunately, the drugs knocked me out for the night and I basically slept from 3pm yesterday until 10am this morning.  Luckily, my back and neck feel significantly better, so at least they worked.  I was definitely bummed to miss the meet-and-greet and I think I worried people because I got a call from my director just wanting to check in with me... whoops.  Not my intention.  I am sure I will be fine, I just don't wanna take any chances in a reoccurring injury...

My doc wrote a prescrip for some more massage therapy as well and I think that as soon as the inflammation has gone down (end of the week) I'm gonna aim to get back into the swing of massage...

I only work for four hours today and will be taking it easy and let my manager know right away if I start to feel wonky, but I already feel better (the second day is always the worst and yesterday was pretty bad), so let's heal body!  Do it!

I Will Fix You

hoodie: Lululemon, tank: Costco, jeans: Levi's, shoes: Sperry Top-Siders from Nordstrom, accessories: Relic watch, gifted rings, dangly silver earrings

Another case of not pressing "post" from yesterday:

Just got back from the doctor where she told me I should be OK, but gave me a prescription for some pain meds and muscle relaxants to make sure that I don't tense up.  I'm about to go ahead and take some and nap (she warned me they will make me drowsy) so that I can then go ahead and get to the GreenStage meet-and-greet tonight!  Excited to meet my cast/crew!  Should be goodtimes.

See you on the flip side.

And Stay Out

blouse: Papaya, tank: Costco, pants: Jolt from Nordstrom, shoes: Sperry Top-Siders from Nordstrom, accessories: gifted rings, Relic watch, Charlotte Russe necklace

Well, yesterday of all the things, Dani and I got rear-ended on our way to the bar after Brews & Bards last night.  And he drove off.  Loverly...  Sucks.  I am gonna head to the doctor tomorrow just to make sure all is well, but I feel significantly better than I did the last time I got hit with a car. Blearg.  Sucks.

Today I tried to do nothing and recover from the crappiness of yesterday and then head to la mama's for dinner but due to the stupid Mercer St closure and reroute to Denny, I spent 45 minutes waiting for a bus that never came and then giving up and just walking to another bus stop.  And an hour and a half later I reached mama's. Luckily, the day got better from there.  Then I just helped mama set up Skype, chat with the seestor, take Buggie for a walk and eat yummy homemade minestrone and chill to Food Network (oh, how I love my food porn!)

Tomorrow is the first meet-and-greet for GreenStage this summer, which should be super-funtimes!  Excited to get the ball a-rollin' and then I am back to work on Tues!

What Else Would I Be?

tee: H&M, vest: H&M, jeans: BDG from Urban, shoes: Linea Paolo from Nordstrom, accessories: long black beaded necklace, gifted rings, Relic watch, long dangly silver earrings

Just getting ready to head out to see Brews & Bards at ECS tonight!  Dani swooped in and director-fixed it, plus a number of my friends wrote the shows, so I am supes excited to see it tonight and drink some beerz.

Last night was supes fun with Ali, but I totes crashed afterwards.  Like, right afterwords.  I was so exhausted from the last week and a half that I even quit on yoga today... But sleeping in felt so right...

Be Prepared

dress: Gap, tank: Costco, flats: BDG from Urban, belt: gifted, accessories: gifted bejeweled bracelet, Express black circle necklace, Relic watch, gifted rings

Heading out to a play with Ali. Maybe gonna grab a drink beforehand and then sleep and sleep in tomorrow!

Done All Wrong

blouse: new American Apparel, capris: thrifted Gap, shoes: Sperry Top-Siders from Nordstrom, accessories: Charlotte Russe necklace, Relic watch, silver earrings

Getting ready to wrap up my first week of training for the new job!  Then three days off!  Yay-zers.  Seriously, I am still recovering from opening yesterday (I'm sure FFOK last night did not help, but WORTH IT!) and am seriously in need of a few days to sleep, if not sleep in.

A little bummed I barely got to enjoy the gorgeous weather yesterday, so I am def gonna try to get some sunshine-y goodness today after I get off work.  I have plans to see a show at Annex with Ali tonight and tomorrow night is Brews & Bards... Theatre!

Last night's FFOK was so bittersweet.  It was pretty insane since everyone who knew it was wrapping itself up came out to say goodbye.  All the regulars were particularly bummed.  Kate & I rocked it on "Holdin' Out For A Hero" one more time and I hit up all my regs ("When You're Good To Mama", "These Boots Are Made For Walking" & "Down in the Hole"), but by the time I left (and many others stayed) there were many hugs given and talks about a reunion sometime.  Seriously, made some good friends and am gonna miss my first & third Thursday routine.

There will be mass amounts of coffee consumed today.  Just sayin'.

Oh Sugar, Sugar

tank: Forever 21 gifted, sweater: thrifted, jeans: BDG from Urban new, flats: BDG from Urban, accessories:  Express necklace, Relic watch, gifted rings, gifted silver & black bracelets, Farmers Market Marilyn Monroe earrings

I am super proud of myself.  This is the first day I started work at 430am, the first day I went to yoga after and the first day I took a successful afternoon nap in preparation for a busy night.

Tonight is the year + one month anniversary of FFOK and apparently the final one.  Ever.  So, I am going.  sad and a little bummed that I just got back into the swing of going and now it's almost over.  So much better than any other karaoke.  For cereal.  PS here is a link from Seattle Channel about FFOK which starts at 21:19 (I am in it starting 22:10 and sing at 22:30 real quick (a little bit of The Wire theme).

So, I am heading to FFOK early tonight, so I can head home early without feeling guilty for missing the last one and still get to bed at a reasonable hour before work manana... Then three days off!

The Early Bird

blouse: Old Navy, trousers: Express, flats: Linea Paolo from Nordstrom, accessories: Relic watch, Cost Plus leaf earrings, Charlotte Russe necklace

I have been up for seven hours already.  I am trying to stay awake for another three so that I can get to, do and get home from yoga.  Let's see if that works...

Also, I'm ready for lunch at 10am. So, I'm gonna eat lunch now. And go to yoga and take a nap. A looooong nap.

Today was the first day at work where I felt like I was getting the hang of things.  And really, as soon as I get over (or used to) the whole waking up at 3am thing, then I think I will like opening and being done with work, early.  Done and done.

Let's Do It Again

tee: Old Navy, tank: Costco, capris: Eight Sixty from Nordstrom, flats: Blink from Asos, accessories: Relic watch, Enerjewels necklace, black hoops

Well, I'm about to head to day 2 of training at Starbucks and this time I am ready for the sun!  After voice yesterday, I ended up meeting up with Dad and getting to say goodbye to the last bit of family that was still here from the wedding before just sitting on the back porch and soaking up the sun with Dad & the puppers.  It was pretty loverly.

I've been trying to go to bed earlier to get my body used to it since I start work at 430am tomorrow and I have no idea how I am going to do this... Early for me right now means 11 or 1130 and that only gives me about 4 or 4.5 hours of sleep (def not enough for my body).  Tonight I think I am gonna aim for 9 (HA!) and we'll see how that works.  Tomorrow afternoon there will definitely be nappage.  MAJOR nappage.

Fly Away Home

tee: Threadless, jeans: H&M, flats: Asos, accessories: Relic watch, gifted rings, Charlotte Russe necklace, silver curve earrrings

Today is my day off and I am honestly not sure what I am going to do after I have my voice lesson in a little less than an hour.  I am gonna be in the U District, so I might just find a park and read, enjoying the sunshine, or I might hit the Metro and catch some movies.  I am bringing my ballet stuff just in case I end up hanging out down there for a long time...

I also called my Dad and am hoping maybe we can get together or something today?  It's really up in the air... In reality, I will probs to my voice lesson, do a little (window) shopping and then head home and hangout on my own if I don't hear anything from the fah-zha...

Very happy I don't have to be at work until 10 tomorrow... One more day of sleeping in before I try my hand at my first (of many, I am sure) opening shift...

The First Day

blouse: Express, trousers: Express, shoes: Sperry Top-Siders from Nordstrom, accessories: black circle necklace from Express, Relic watch, black hoops

Well, today was officially the first day of my training and I kicked it off looking like a waiter.  I spent most of my day in the back room reading different training cards and watching random videos for the two "modules" I completed today.  I did get to spend some time on the floor observing what went on behind the counter (noting things I would notice were I "the world's most anal-retentive customer", as my manager explained to me) and what the issues were...

After four hours of this seemingly mind-numbing monotony (reading, watching, writing things that we had mostly gone over already.  Everything is changing and I am the guinea pig--w00t!), I went shopping for more white and black options and found a ridiculous amount on sale at Old Navy, of all places.  Now I have 4 more top options (or "top-tions" as I just said in my head!) and some new workout clothes ("workout-tions"?  Nope.  Doesn't work . . . out. Hahahahahahaha) for on the cheap.

And now that I have (new) clean workout clothes, methinks I will hit up some yoga tonight after I eat the foodzies (left over pizza!) and maybe take a power nap (but my room is CLEAN).  Lemme tell you, the wedding weekend took it outta me.  Exhausting.

I have a day-off tomorrow (voice lesson--yay!) and then work the same mid-morning shift Wednesday before my first day opening on Thurs... Sleep is a necessity at this point...

Get Me To The Church On Time

dress: thrifted, tights: American Apparel, shoes: BDG from Urban, belt: H&M, accessories: brooch thrifted, Relic watch

Well, today was officially insane and awesome!  It was a big giant family reunion/celebration of new starts.

Jacki's wedding was beautiful and I was so grateful that I was able to sing for her.  Super congrats!  That is a HUGE step toward adult life and I am so proud of her Kent. I just hope they can make room for chappy...

Also, this was the seestor's last day in Seattle and I was a little happy there was no extended goodbye since she left directly from the wedding and therefore, no tears.  I will miss you, seestor!  Don't marry a Mormon.  There now it's in writing and you really can't.

I am so proud of my two littles!  One just became a Mrs and the other on here way to be a Dr!  CONGRATS BOTH OF YOU!  BIG HUGE STEPS!

In other news, I start training at Starbucks tomorrow.

Guys and Dolls was fun tonight with Kelly and la mama, too!  (I told you it was a busy day...) and now to sleep and prepare for the training to begin.

Backyard BBQ

tee: H&M, jeans: Levi's, shoes: Sperry Top-Siders from Nordstrom, accessories: Relic watch, gifted rings, Charlotte Russe necklace, black hoop earrings

Today was the family meet-and-greet backyard pizza party and lemme tell you, that pizza was GOOOOOOD.  I brought home three different kinds and am really excited to eat more of it.  Hello next week's dinner!

Luckily, today was absolutely beautiful, so we were able to utilize the gorgeous backyard that D&P have spent so much time fixing up this last week.  Hopefully the weather gods will smile upon us again tomorrow and let the wedding be outside!  (*fingers crossed*)

It was really nice to see all of Dad's siblings.  I don't think I've seen most of them since Jessica's wedding  more than 5 years ago and definitely not in the same room. There was some good mingling going on today.

I am chilling OUT tonight.  Reheating pizza for dinner and hanging out with my boyfriends, Netflix and the fat one.  Tomorrow I head to Redmond bright and early to rehearse my song with the accompanists (cross your fingers I can find me note from a cello & violin!) and then family pictures and the wedding!

Dance The Night Away

dress: Zara, heels: Banana Republic gifted, accessories: Relic watch, gifted rings, Express necklace, long dangly earrings

Limos are funzies!  That's the moral of the story!  And Lindy's friends are super fun!

We limo'd from la mama's to Kerry Park where we took prom pics (and I yelled "Prom is fun!" a lot.  Mostly because there was clearly a prom group doing the same thing and it made me giggle) and ended up at BalMar to dance the night away!  And dance we did.

It was super fun and I hope the seestor enjoyed her send-off as much as I enjoyed giving her one.  Now that it's over though, I know that she is really leaving me and that makes me all weepy...

Jacki's rehearsal and rehearsal dinner were very nice.  I think that the wedding will be absolutely beautiful (and pray for weather like this so it can be outside!) and I cannot wait to sing for her and Kent! And celebrate their new life together.  It's gonna be super funtimes.

At the dinner Lindy and I sat at this totes random table and made friends with Kent's uncle, gramma, cousin and roomie from college.  They were good company and it was nice to find the other single girl who will be at the wedding.

And, of course, they got my food wrong (I will always order salmon over halibut!) and so I was just sitting there with no food while everyone else ate.  Very funny.  Kent's mom took a picture of me all sad with no food in front of me... But all was good.  The waitress said that happens sometimes and when they brought out my food was very apologetic and checked in with me like 10 times.  Bajaja!

The New Black

turtleneck: H&M, tank: Costco, trousers: Express, flats: Linea Paolo from Nordstrom, accessories: Charlotte Russe necklace, Relic watch

Today was my first day at my new job!  I had what they call a "first impression" which is basically where I filled out a ton of paperwork, got a general overview of how sb's and this store in particular work and finalized my training sked (not starting until Mon, so this weekend is all wedding all the time--w00t!).  Excited to finally have a job and to know that I will mostly be opening the store (yes, folks, that's at 430am...), so that I will have most afternoons and evenings off to run errands, rehearse, audition and/or NAP. Done and done.

For the rest of the day I wandered around in the ridic RAIN shopping for blacks that I can wear to work I think I got 4 new items that should work (yay clothes, boo only black), including 2 tops with rounded peter pan collars.  I just wish I could have bought anything with color... sooooo hard, especially with all the summer collections starting to sprinkle out...

Then I headed to yoga and back to give Lady a nice long walk (again in the rain).  Seriously, yesterday was soooo beautiful and today was like back to winter.  And which day did I have to run a number of errands without my hat?  Today.  And which day did Lady want to take a stop-and-smell-every-little-stupid-bush walk?  Well, let's be honest, that's everyday, but it seemed worse today!

Tomorrow I yoga, pack my schtuff and head to OtB with Ali to catch the new show, El Gallo!  I am super excited to see this crazy thing!

You Can Call Me Flower, If You Like

dress: Banana Republic, sweater: thrifted, flats: Asos, accessories: Relic watch, gifted mini-heart necklace, gifted rings, long dangly earrings

About to head out to Jacki's wedding rehearsal this afternoon... Then the rehearsal dinner followed by Lindy's Going Away Party & Limo EXTRAVAGANZA! tonight (to be known henceforth as LGAP&LE!).

So happy I got to yoga today (and got everything else in the world done as well--successful morning FTW!) because it kicked me in the butt about 10 times.  We did a little yoga-lates and lemme tell you yogalates schmogalates.  They should call that thing kills-your-abs-a-lot-es because for cereal they are already crying, so tomorrow?  Yesh.  I'm gonna be useless.  My abs were so sore by the end of class that I could barely sit up.  It was bad, but a good bad...

Last night I caught El Gallo at OtB and I promised a review, so here's a link to my blog posting on the OtB blog.  Read if you would like!

Tomorrow is the family pizza meet-and-greet at D&P's and then Sunday is the wedding!  And Monday is my first day of work (and Lindy's first day of school--LE BOOOOOOOOOO! I'm getting teary just thinking about it...).  Busy and important next few days... HIT IT!

Fri May 13 1:34am

I’ve now tried to write this post three separate times, but since Blogger is being buggy, I am gonna just do the next best thing: write it in word to post online later.  Blearg. Seriously, I never realized how addicted I was to this blogging thing until I really wanted to post something and it started to actively thwart my attempts.   Boo on you, Blogger, you know better.

Anyways, I spent today busy, busy, busy.  Yoga’d this morning and super enjoyed the sun! Then back to la mama’s to finalize Lindy’s going away party plans, shower, pack and clean up from being there for 3.5 days (I made a bit of a mess…).  And in the packing, I realized that I have waaaaaaay more items than bags for said items to live in. Luckily since the fah-zha was picking up la mama and the seestor from the aeropuerto, I got a ride home!  Huzzah!

Then, despite numerous attempts at distraction by the fat one, I was able to unpack and reorganize my room before heading to El Gallo.  I will write more on this show later, but generally: WOW!  Anyone who is or has ever been involved in any performance aspect will relate to the story that Teatro de Ciertos Habitantes is telling here.  And all in a made up language!  So much love for this show! Seriously, see it!

After that I headed to the Hula to celebrate a friend’s bday and was encouraged to come back and sing by the staff (success!), had randoms asking my friends if I was single (awkward) and generally, having a kick-ass time singing fun (slow) songs.  Thank you Jewel and Alanis for giving me my Thursday night karaoke inspiration!

Tomorrow is a big day with the wedding rehearsal, rehearsal dinner and Lindy’s going away party!  I need my beauty sleep, thank you very much!

PS Hipster glasses are a winner!

On The Chopping Block

New Haircut!

Thank the gods I can see again!  Love how she cuts ma herz.

The Day That Time Forgot

tank: Costco, sweater: Mod Cloth, jeans: BDG from Urban, shoes: LA Gear (from Lindy's closet), accessories: gifted rings, Charlotte Russe necklace, Relic watch

Was gonna pack another day full and then, I decided not to.  I start my new job tomorrow and have a crazy weekend with the wedding, etc, so I kinda decided I would take a day off... I am about to head to my haircut, but other than that I am not going to plan anything and just enjoy the last day of nothingness I have planned.

I'll share the haircut pics once I get back!

Bacon-Flavored Life

tee: Rubbish from BP for Nordstrom, tank: Costco, sweater: Mod Cloth, scarf: gifted, pants: Jolt from Nordstrom, shoes: LA Gear (scavenged from the dregs of Lindy's closet

So, I am pretty sure that these pants are officially dying.  Getting thin on the inner thigh on both sides... blearg.  Also dead: the Zigi Soho boots I wore yesterday (the right one has officially worn through the soles)... My next big splurge will be a pair of super-nice Frye boots about the same height as those ones that died, but 100% better quality.  That's the goal, at least.

Love, love, LOVED Merry Wives last night!  And, although, I wasn't necessarily prepared to, it was a more than welcome surprise.  Perfect casting, loverly style (super-traditional Shakespearion) and a really clean cut.  It was also the first time I saw that show onstage (marking another one off the list--yeah, that's right, Lonestar Love does NOT count). Definitely glad I threw that thing into my crazy-ass day.

I didn't get home (to la mama's, that is) until around 11 last night and the poor little Buggie was so in need of some luvin', so I gave her a pretty long walk and fed her and then passed OUT!  Looooong day.

Today, I apparently needed a good night's sleep because my alarm did not go off and I full on slept until 11am!  I only woke up because the Bug came into the room as in "LET'S GET UP AND GO!", so I did!  Took her on a ridic long walk and fed her and then hungout with her in the (furniture-less) TV room (Food Network--HELLO!) until the fah-zha picked me up and I helped him run some errands before heading back to the house and working on wedding prep with Jacki.  Another good day in a crazy times week.

Tomorrow, I am getting a haircut!  THANK THE GODS!  I need one soooo badly (look. at. the. bangs!). Gonna try to yoga beforehand and possibly ballet tomorrow night.  And then on Wednesday, I start work.  Yay! New job!

New: Bedding

New Bedding!

Meant to include this in the last post!  It's my new bedspread and pillows!  Yay!  New things.

PS I already came home and found the kitteh blissed out on the new comforter and last night's sleep was AWESOME!  It has 2 big fans!

What Would You Do?

tee: American Eagle, tank: Costco, sweater: Mod Cloth, pants: Jolt from Nordstrom, boots: Zigi Soho from DSW, accessories: gifted rings, Relic watch, Charlotte Russe necklace

Just got back from a loverly farmer's market brekkie at Carolyn's.  Super YUM! And now I'm getting ready to head to the Night Zero shoot until 5 and then book it home to finish packing my shizz before heading to Merry Wives at Shakes tonight and then home to la mama's afterwards...

Busy weekend.  Gonna try to get a hair cut before the wedding next weekend at some point this week and am a little nervous about trying to fit everything else in.  The things you don't think of when you are offered a job: OMG, I have no clothes to wear.  Like seriously, Starbucks dress code is a black collared shirt, black slacks and black or brown rubber soled shoes.  I own, like, ONE shirt I can wear.  Needless to say, I will be wearing that to my first impression on Wednesday and then hitting Forever 21 & H&M afterwards for some cheapy other options... yesh.  This getting a job thing is harder than I thought!

Tomorrow's goal is to relax and get some sleep, watch some Food Network and give some luvin' to the Bug...

Beyond Everything

tee: thrifted, tank: Costco, sweater: gifted Rubbish from Nordstrom, jeans: J Brand from Nordstrom, shoes: BDG from Urban. accessories: gifted ring, Relic watch, Charlotte Russe necklace, silver drop earrings

Yoga'd this morning and then headed to Bed, Bath & Beyond with la mama and seestor where I got to see them both before they took off on their road trip to Provo tomorrow and I was even able to buy some brand new bedding!  And I think it looks super good, if I do say so myself!

I'm about to head out to grab early dinner and happy hour drinks with Jess and Aine and then head to the Hill for NCT's O Lovely Glowworm.  I've heard good things, so I am excited.  Then an early night since I am meeting Carolyn early tomorrow for breakfast before the Night Zero shoot and Merry Wives tomorrow night and then over to la mama's to take care of the Bug.  Whew...

Start Over Again

tank: BCBG from Nordstrom, blazer: Forever 21, jeans: BDG from Urban, flats: BDG from Urban,  accessories: Charlotte Russe necklace, gifted rings, black hoop earrings, Relic watch, borrowed zebra bracelet

Had a revolutionary voice lesson today (seriously, revolutionary, I kid you not...).  Basically, at last week's audition I realized that it's not that I am not what people want, it's that I don't have the skill set to GIVE them what they want.  So, now I'm working with my teacher to learn how to sing pop songs--w00t!  rockin' the non-legit (or soon I will be)!

Then I met up with la mama and Lindy to celebrate la mama's bday, Lindy's leaving for grad school in a few days (DON'T DO IT! I MISS YOUZ ALREADY!!!!!!!) and me GETTING A NEW JOB!  I start at the Starbucks on 3rd and Pike on Wednesday!

All around, an absolutely great dinner with a great day on top of great people.  I want a sundae made of that at least once a week! (Let's work on that!)

Well Timed

tee: Mariners, tank: Costco, sweatshirt: Lululemon, jeans: BDG from Urban,  boots: (unpictured) MIA from The Rack, hat: Target

New outfit to head to the M's game!  w00t! Done and done.

Taking Chances

shirt: Free People from Nordstrom, tank: Costco, jeans: BDG from Urban, shoes: Sperry Top-Siders from Nordstrom, accessories: Relic watch, gifted rings, Charlotte Russe necklace, Enerjewels earrings

Had another great interview with the other district Starbucks managers and should hopefully hear from one of the districts' people by tomorrow, which is supes exciting/nerve-racking.  I really hope that one of them offers me a job for realz.

Was able to run errands this morning and yoga'd before my interview and now I'm getting ready to meet la mama for tonight's Cinco de Mayo Mariners game!  Yay!  But, big giant boo on the rainy weather.  It was so much nicer yesterday... blearg.  Now I'm gonna change and get ready to meet her at the bus barn in about an hour...

The Guy Who Leaves

tee: Banana Republic, tank: Costco, jeans: BDG from Urban, shoes: Sperry Top-Siders from Nordstrom, accessories:  Charlotte Russe necklace, gifted rings, gifted coral bracelet, Relic watch

Yoga'd this morning before running errands all day and heading to see This at the Rep tonight.  I liked the show although I am not sure what its point was... Nick Garrison was great though!  Some fab lines in there.

Tomorrow I Starbucks is having a job fair and another location (in another downtown district) is having me interview there, so that's good too!  Really hoping one of these opportunities pans out...

Baseball game with la mama tomorrow!  Excited to see the game and see her!

Here We Go Again

tank: kimchi blue from Urban, sweater: Parfait from Nordstrom, skirt: H&M, boots: Report Signature from Nordstrom,  belt: H&M, accessories: Relic watch, gifted rings

I had an interview today at Starbucks and should find out by Fri whether or not I have a second interview or what.  Really hoping I get a job soon, mostly because I am bored and broke.  Yikes.

Spent yesterday helping the seestor packing and organizing with the little lady bug and Pamelita.  It was nice to have something to do during the day and to know that I was helping her to get outta here (even though I don't want her to leave me...).  This week and next are kinda insane.

Tomorrow I'm gonna head to see THIS! at the Rep, Thurs I have tix to the baseball game (hoping I can find someone to go with me) and then FFOK and Fri hoping to celebrate la mama's bday and Lindy's leaving... Sat I have tix to O Lovely Glowworm and Sun is the Night Zero shoot.  Then next week is Jacki's wedding insanity.  Whew!  Hopefully I can fit getting & working a job somewhere in there...

I'm also gonna head to ballet again tonight. Getting back into the groove...

Whistle While You Work

tee: Threadless, tank: Costco, sweater: Express, jeans: seethrusoul from Nordstrom, shoes: Converse from Nordstrom, accessories: Relic watch, gifted rings

Heading to help out the seestor in her packing for school soon.  She's leaving in less than 1 week and it makes me sad pants, so I'm just trying to get as much time in with her as possible.

Bummed that today is not as gorgeous as yesterday.  It was so sunny and loverly and today, of course, the rain returns.  Blearg.  Dislike button.  I am so ready for summer weather.  Come on, Seattle, let's do this ish!

Here I am on cue again

tee: Fossil, sweater: halogen for Nordstrom. jeans: Current/Elliot for Nordstrom, shoes: Sperry Top-Siders for Nordtrom, accessories: Relic watch, gifted rings

Thought I would spend the day doing nothing but since Mikaela was in town I hung out with her and my peeps and has a super-fun time!  I miss my girls!  super love to all of them and lots of good nights' sleep!

Let's all hang out in a non-Sunday day soon!  So much luvin and affection!

Sister Seestor

jacket: H&M, tank: Flounce from Nordstrom, skirt: H&M, booties: Asos, accessories: relic watch, gifted chain -link necklace, gifted rings, gifted silver drop earrings

Hungout with my seestor and her friends post Sounders game (we won 3-0 w00t!) at all of the Fremont hangouts and did nothing cool until I broke from them and made my own friends at Norms.  It's actually amazing how non-passive aggressive Seattle I have gone since I started going out and feeling free to talk to people in bars.  I am no longer Seattle (ironic since I grew up here), but the type who will engage in conversation and follow through (must come with age b/c my sisters' friends run as fast as they can from meaningful conversation).  Basically, I am sick of playing the games (points for me!).

I love dressing up and dancing but refuse to be a bitch to people who are nice to me.

And it is what it is...
