Plucked from Obscurity

tee: Old Navy, capris: thrifted Gap, shoes: New Tom's from Nordstrom, accessories: Cost Plus leaf earrings, Relic watch, Goody headband

This morning was pretty rough, but I did it!  I feel like I leaped a hurdle today.  I mean, there has to be time where you stay out too late and just have to make it through the workday anyway. So, that's good at least.

And now, to nap for a bit before our show.  And eating, too.  That should help get me some energy.  Blearg.  At least I have tomorrow off. Yay! Then five days' work and Sunday off.

What Can You Do?

tee: OLD, shorts: Danang thrifted from Le Frock, shoes: Sperry Top-Siders from Nordstrom, accessories: Relic watch

Yesterday was glorious!  The weather was beautiful!  I got to do yoga!  I got to go shopping at Nordy's (and spend all of Fri's paycheck in one go...whoops...)! I got to hangout with the roomie(s)!  I got to sit outside! And all of this was before I headed to Camp Long to rock the show.

Seriously, we had a FAB audience last night and they totes buoyed me into going to the late night of 14/48 men's weekend show, which was awesome and sorta ridic good.  But then, I made some bad choices.  Just sayin' that staying out until 3am when I have to open then next day, not the best choice.  If I didn't have a show today it would be different, but I have already worked 5 hours and now I have to gear myself up to go to our matinee all on two hours of sleep... But it was awesome catching up with people and pimping my show (the hair helps sell it) and pretending like I am a real person with normal job hours...

Here in Five

tee: H&M, shorts: Zara from Panama, shoes: Sperry Tope-Siders from Nordstrom, accessories: Relic watch, long dangly silver earrings, Claire's headband

Leaving right now for the show.  Done and done.

Rising in the West

blouse: Old Navy, skirt: H&M, leggings: Forever 21, clogs: thrifted Danskos, accessories: Relic watch, long dangly silver earrings, Claire's flower headband

Sorta in love with this hairstyle with it all big and bouffant-y.  SOOO many compliments from my weekday regulars today.  They all thought I woke up all early to make it look GOOOD, so I clarified that and told them all about GreenStage's Tempest.  Done and Done.

No nappy for me today.  Blearg.  Stupid neighbors talking at 3pm all loud and shit.  Don't they know people are trying to sleep?!  What will they think when I am all loud at 330am, huh?  Deal with that.

Gonna take some 5-hour energy and eat some more foodzies to hopefully gimme some energy for la show tonight.  All the way in Fall City.  Blearg.  Oh wells!  Day off tomorrow, so I think we're gonna hit a dive bar post-show for drinkles.

How Big?

tank: Mod Cloth, jeans: BDG from Urban, sandals: gifted Zara, accessories: Relic watch

Full on forgot to take a pic of what I wore on Thurs morning and then I threw everything into the wash, so I was trying to wait to publish in order, but then my hair is all crazytimes, so... anyway imagine me in my American Apparel peter pan collar blouse with my Eight-Sixty capris from Nordstrom with my Sperry Top-Siders also from Nordys... Anyways...

Within Reason

tee: thrifted, jeans: current/elliot from Nordstrom, shoes: Sperry Top-Siders from Nordstrom, accessories: gifted rings, Relic watch, tribal earrings

This was one of those ridiculous days off where I actually feel like I got a TON done.  Not only did I go to yoga, but I was able to receive my UPS package and gave him mine to send back before I headed out.  Then I ran some more errands post-yoga before meeting the roomie for a late lunch/early dinner and catch-up time.  Then I went grocery shopping and cleaned up the apartment and now I am just waiting for Justine to come grab me before heading up to Lynnwood for our pick-up.  Yesh!  What a good day.

I am def gonna pass out when I get back home tonight, though.  I have a mid-shift (well, 7am) tomorrow and looooong opener on Fri, so I am just hoping we can bang out this pick-up and get outta there quickly.

Dinner With Friends

tee: American Eagle, skirt: Mod Cloth, flats: Jessica Simpson from Nordstrom, accessories: gifted rings, Relic watch, Marilyn earrings

Dani and I are grabbing dinner (serious pie--yay!) in a bit and then maybe heading out to see Captain America!  w00t!  Super excited.  Also, already managed to spill on my shirt.  Awesome. Yay for no work tomorrow!

Sailing on Home

blouse: H&M, capris: Lululemon, clogs: thrifted Danskos, accessories: gifted mini-heart necklace, giant pink leopard circle earrings, Relic watch

Oh man... So tired.  Although a ridic fun day at work today.  I opened with some of my fav peoples and it was busy enough to make the time go by, but not sooooo crazy that I couldn't get my stock & prep work done.  Then I got to get off a bit early so that I could make it to yoga on time!  Yay!

Had all these plans for yesterday and ended up making it a complete do-nothing day.  I caught up on Hulu from when I hadn't had internet last week (not that I would have had the time...) and laid around in my PJ's all day for the first time in... I dunno how long.  Then I went to bed at, like, 9.  It was glorious.

Since I have tomorrow off work, I am thinking about hitting up a movie for tonight and am now just hoping someone will wanna join me... Captain America, anyone?

Stop Waiting

tank: Maddy M from Nordstrom, shorts: Pitaya, flip-flops: Columbia, accessories: Relic watch, black hoops, gifted rings, crest necklace

After work, I rushed home to shower and change real quick before Justine grabbed me and we headed out to Magnuson for Balagan's summer show (suuuuper cute!  Yay!) and good foodzies and lots of sun times.  I actually thought I had been good and diligent with my sunscreen: bringing it, putting it on, having Justine do my back, etc...Until I realized I straight up forgot to get my chest.  So now there is a v-shape of lobster red where my tank top wasn't (and an interesting white dot where my necklace lay)... Blearg!  I spent the whole day out there and just... forgot.  Otherwise though, more sun!  More tan!  Swimming in the lake in my bra and shorts with the King Arthur cast!  So good.

Then, we all stuck together and headed out to Mercer Island to catch Wooden O's Macbeth and it was a summer show party.  A ton of GreenStagers were there from both casts and all the Wooden O peeps from Comedy as well, so we were a good audience.  It was a beautiful night and a beautiful day to have off and be able to spend seeing other summer theatre.  And all for $3.  I feel so blessed to be part of such a supportive community and I cannot wait to catch all the other summer shows too (Comedy and A&C I am lookin' at you!)

Bright & Early

tee: Old Navy, skirt: H&M, leggings: Forever 21, oxfords: BDG from Urban

Opened this morning (not until 630am, but still) after going out with some of the cast last night and lemme tell you, 5am came early.  But I made it.  All 5.5 hours of it.  And not on that much caffeine either.

Def would NOT have gone out if I didn't have tomorrow off, but since I do I know I can catch up on my sleepytimes then.  And I have Wednesday off too!  Yayzers!

Today's the Day

dress: Maddy M from Nordstrom, sandals: Steve Madden from The Rack, belt: Forever 21, accessories: Relic watch, gifted rings, mirrored earrings

Even though today was an absolutely gorgeous day, I got to spend it inside waiting for the stupid Comcast guy.  But it was worth it because he reconnected us and now we are good to go!  Yay!  Happy pants internet!

Had today off and I'm getting ready now to head out to our Burien show and then maybe out for a bit before I get ready to open tomorrow for a little 5 hour shifty and then out to Magnuson to catch Balagan's summer show and then over to Luther Burbank for Mackers.

Work and Play

blouse: Forever 21, skirt: BCBG Maxazaria from Nordstrom, flats: Linea Paolo from Nordstrom, accessories: Relic watch, Marilyn earrings

Went straight from my midday shift to our second Lincoln Park show last night.

Lincoln Park

tee: Pitaya, vest: H&M, jeans: BDG from Urban, shoes: Sperry Top-Siders from Nordstrom, accessories: Relic watch

Worn to the Lincoln Park show on Thursday night!

Work Day

blouse: H&M, jeans: BDG from Urban, oxfords: BDG from Urban, belt: Kenneth Cole Reaction from The Rack accessories: Cost Plus leaf earrings, Relic watch,  gifted crest necklace

Wore this to work on Thursday morning.

Back Online

tee: H&M, tank: Costco, jeans: J Brand from RueLaLa, clogs: thrifted Danskos, accessories: Relic watch, orange diamond earrings

Well, I haven't had internet since Wednesday night and now I do, so here is me playing catch up.  And you're just gonna get the pics.  Sorry.

Turn, Turn, Turn

blouse: H&M, capris: Lululemon, clogs: (unpictured) thrifted Danskos, accessories: (unpictured) Relic watch, orange diamond earrings

I totes forgot to mention this yesterday, but the GreenStage v Wooden O softball game was awesome and totally frustrating.  We totes should have won both games and it pisses me off (especially the 12-year-old UBER competitive boy inside of me) that we didn't. Blearg.  But, I was apparently very amusing to watch because I got so into it (despite the lack of skill). Plus, for every beer I had, my competitiveness (and loudness) went up about 10-points.  So. Much. Fun. Now I'm even MORE bummed I didn't get to play last year.

Rehearsal was cancelled for tonight, so I don't even feel guilty at ALL about heading to Chateau Ste Michele with la mama & the seestor to see the Sarah McLachlan concert.  Bummed I have another 8-hour opening shift tomorrow though... Would be nice to sleep in a bit after going out tonight and to be able to enjoy some wine. Oh wells!  I'm just glad I get a night off to have a little bit of fun!

Hey La-Di-Da

blouse: Old Navy, capris: Lululemon, clogs: thrifted Danskos, accessories: orange diamond earrings,  Charlotte Russe necklace, Relic watch

Well, I was supposed to meet with my BHS girls and have a catch-up drink post-yoga tonight at la mama's, but Jess was feeling crappy, so we are gonna reschedule, but it's OK because I think I needed to  have a night of nothing and going to bed early before having to wake up and give the dog a walk before I head to the bus stop to get to work by my 430am open tomorrow.

Blearg.

Soft Magic

tee: GreenStage 2011, capris: thrifted Gap, socks: thrifted, sneakers: Brooks, accessories: Relic watch

Slept until noon.  Spent the day doing nothing much but cooking, cleaning and watching tv in my pj's.  I am now getting ready to head to the GreenStage vs Wooden O (& Comedy vs Tragedy) softball game.  Last year I was deathly ill and missed it, so I am supes excited to head out there tonight.  I have no idea whether I will play or no, but I am going to be prepared to play and have fun!

And my opening shift tomorrow got switched to a mid-shift, so now I can even have a beer or two (WHAT?!) and really get to stay until the end without being exhausted tomorrow. Then afterwards, Aine & Jess & I are gonna hang out with the Bug at la mama's until I really do go to sleep early for Wednesday's opening shift... Long walk to the bus stop too... blearg.

Incomplete

tee: kimchi blue from Urban, shorts: Zara from Panama, boots: OTBT from Nordstrom, acessories: Relic watch, 

Since I spent the whole day in a super hot Starbucks, I sorta overcompensated when I got home and grabbed my Zara shorts, assuming that if I get cold out there I can always wear a blanket until I go onstage and then I'll be hot once the show is over.  This muggy weather is throwing me for one helluva loop.  I have no idea what to wear or how to wear it...

The show turned out great, too!  We didn't get rained on at all (thank god) and even got a burst of sun! Of course, the irony of watching The Tempest out in a tempest was not lost on this audience (um, a bachelorette party to Shakespeare in the park?! What?!).

And now that I am all caught up with these, to sleep until... tomorrow's GreenStage softball game...

Bouffant It

blouse: H&M, capris: thrifted Gap, shoes: Sperry Top-Siders from Nordstrom, accessories: Relic watch, mirrored earrings

Well, I spent the whole day at work alternating between trying not to blow my nose or cough on a customer and looking at the clock wondering when they were going to lemme go home.  Turns out, I got to leave an hour early giving me JUST enough time to pop home, change, do my makeup, adjust my hair... and forget to eat... before the show.  Sundays are weird days the Bux.  They go from CRAZY insane to ridic low-key (and vice versa) in no time at all. They stress me out.  But they are good tourist fodder.

Picture Perfect

tee: Zara, jeans: Current/Elliot from Nordstrom, shoes: Sperry Top-Siders from Nordstrom, accessories: gifted rings, Relic watch

Well, since I had Sounders tix, I missed our first opp to see A&C in a double-header which bummed me out since the weather turned out so good and a TON of other Tempest peeps went early and did that.  But a TON of them stuck around after the BBQ to catch our show, which was awesome.  They were a great audience and it is always nice to see the sister show and hangout with those peeps. Making new friends!  They were a seriously fun audience and it led to what I think was our best show yet.

Didn't have to work until 830am on Sun either, so I was able to hangout after and shoot the shit with people just catching up. That's always fun.

So Good!

jersey: Ljungberg, jeans: Pitaya, shoes: Sperry Top-Siders from Nordstrom, scarf: Sounders, accessories: gifted rings, dangly silver earrings, Relic watch

I got to watch a pretty epic Sounders win on Saturday afternoon (4-3 over the Rapids in our first time playing them since Mullan broke Zakuani so it was well-deserved).  Four goals by the Sounders in one game is pretty effing awesome, but then to throw in that it was STILL a close game?! Yesh. Seven goals in one match is pretty ridic.  Just lovin' that we got that 'W' and that our winning streak continues (onto 11 games now!).

Plus it was nice to hangout with the ol' BHS crew, Aine and Jess.  And take Aine to her first Sounders game!  Yay!

PS Oh dear god was there a shower after the Judkins show (in the rain for only like 15 people in one of the worst spaces--pretty sure that's why I now have a cold.  Awesome.) and some Ezell's.  YUM!

Get It Goin'

tank: Bellatrix from Nordstrom, sweater: Halogen from Nordstrom, capris: Pitaya, sandals: Steve Madden from The Rack, accessories: Relic watch, giant gold earrings

Harry Potter was fab.  I mean, absolutely amazing!  The best ending of the franchise, for sure, and it made me supes happy.  I was crying from like 20 minutes in.  Def gonna try to see it again. Yay Harry Potter!

Also, my callback was fun.  Definitely hoping that I get one of the two shows I auditioned for this last week. I just wanna have something to do this fall...

This was the first day in a supes long time that I have been able to have a do-nothing day and I embraced that whole-heartedly.  Slept on Dani's couch last night, but left early this morning and then got back to my place and slept for a long time before getting up and getting ready to head out to Judkins for our show tonight.  And then, maybe a little Ezell's afterwards?  I want to go to there.

Won-Won, Herm-o-ninny, and the Boy Who Lived

tee: Harry Potter World, tie: Harry Potter World, wand: (unpictured) Harry Potter World, jeans: H&M, shoes: Blink from Asos, accessories: Relic watch

Well, Woodland Park (in the rain--BOO!) here we come!  Gonna just get through this show and callback and enjoy me some final HARRY!!!! So damn excited it actually hurts.  Plus, two days off work!  And a Sounders game tomorrow (fresh offa their USOC win!)!  Yes, good weekend and: GO!

Totally nerding it up, but I don't even care.  My hair is gonna look like Bellatrix tonight anyways, so I might as well rock it out Slytherin-style! Done and done.

Little Bird

blouse: Old Navy, trousers: Express, shoes: LA Gear gifted (and now dead), accessories: long teal earrings

I worked a loooong and busy opening shift this morning on shoes that broke half way through my walk to work.  Boo.  Officially broke through the sole of the left shoe.  They are now in the trash.  It was a long day and I can hear my throat starting to be a bit bothersome, so I tea'd it up all day (even now and have been rocking a scarf too.  Keep my throat warm and protected.  Tried not to talk too much, but, well...that never really works as a barista. I think I need to buy a humidifier, but I keep forgetting to stop by Bed, Bath & Beyond to see how much they run...

Then I hit up the pilates mat class and, as promised, there was lots of ab work, but it was only 45 min, so probs I'll still be trying to make yoga, whenever possible. It's a good back-up though.

Heading back to the show tonight.  Callback went SUPER well last night, so my fingers are crossed.  Haven't heard anything yet, though, so I still have plans to head to the Annex callback tonight right after the show ends... And then BOOK IT to HARRY! Whew!  Busy times!

Soups Cereal

tunic: Free People from Nordstrom, leggings: American Apparel, shoes: Sperry Top-Siders from Nordstrom, accessories: Relic watch, tribal earrings, gifted rings

Well, I'm up from my lil nap and getting ready to head out for the night.  Still tired. Still not looking forward to another long shift tomorrow.  But at least, I am now one step closer to HARRY POTTER and two days off!  YES!

Happiness starts at 12:15pm tomorrow!

Changling

blouse: Forever 21, jeans: BDG from Urban, clogs: thrifted Danskos, accessories: Marilyn earrings, Relic watch

So, somehow I horribly mistimed everything and have less than an hour to nap before getting ready for my massage, pick up rehearsal and callback tonight post-work. And I am exhausted...

But hey, I bought a new pair of sunglasses, so that's awesome!

Sleeeeeeep.

Rumour Has It

dress: Zara from Panama, oxfords: BDG from Urban, accessories: thrifted necklace, gifted rings, Relic watch, pearl drop earrings

Wore this to my audition (as the role of a 1950's/60's housewife) and I think it was quite fitting!  I now have a callback (to add to my already INSANE schedule) for tomorrow night as soon as we finish up our speed thru... Yesh.

Leaving in a little (and trading the BDG oxfords for my gifted Franco Sarto black boots) for our little pre-show happy hour.  Funtimes and...GO!  Just wish I didn't have an 8-hour opening shift tomorrow... Blearg. Oh wells...

Standard Bearer

blouse: American Apparel, skirt: H&M, leggings: Forever 21, shoes: Linea Paolo from Nordstrom, accessories: Charlotte Russe necklace, Relic watch, long dangly silver earrings

I really kept thinking yesterday that the clouds would burn off and it would be nice, but no.  And thanks, weather, for not being nice today either.  It actually is supposed to rain off and on through Thurs.  But then get nice for this weekend!  I like that, I just wish we wouldn't have to (possibly) perform in the rain on Thurs. At Woodland.  On the treacherous incline. In shoes I do not trust... Blearg.

Seriously, after yesterday's long shift, I totally deserve today off and don't even have to be anywhere until my audition at 2pm.  Yay!

Then, I am meeting Patrick and Justine for drinkles and hh foodzies at Palominos before we head to see Aladdin!  I wish my mama could be there... :( le boo.  Glad that she is getting a night off though.

Tomorrow, I have another looooong shift, followed by a massage and our pick up rehearsal at Judkins, where I am hoping for no rain. Then work on Thurs, followed by a show at Woodland, callback for Annex's show, HARRY POTTER, day off Fri, show at Judkins, day off Sat, Sounders game and show at Woodland again (possibly our first double feature day?), then work 830-5 on Sun and a show at Volunteer followed by another GLORIOUS day off on Mon!  By that point, I will totes deserve one. again.

Electro-cutie

tee: H&M, jeans: Current/Elliot from Nordstrom, oxfords: Blink from Asos, accessories: Relic watch

And now you see why I needed to tame my hair for work this morning.  It literally looks like I stuck my finger in a light socket.  If I can tell you one thing, it's that there will be a shower taken tonight to wash all this crap outta my hair before I head back to work tomorrow.  Yesh.  Not gonna lie, I kinda love it.  Just a LITTLE too much... but barely.

Just had about a hour long Skype chat with the seestor this afternoon and it made me SOOO happy!  I miss her and cannot wait for seestor time when she comes home in a week-and-a-half!  COME HOME NOW!

Getting ready to head to call for the last show of opening weekend!  Cannot believe that we are already open and about to head into our third (of 20) show(s)! WOW!  Time goes by faaaaast.

Collective Bargaining

tee: Old Navy, trousers: Eight-Sixty from Nordstrom, clogs: thrifted Danskos, belt: Kenneth Cole Reaction from The Rack, accessories: Relic watch, giant red hoops,  Charlotte Russe necklace

Opened this morning, but it was at 6:30 instead of 4:30, so I'm kinda OK with it.  I mean, when I woke up at 3:30 this morning and was able to think, "haha!  I get to sleep in for two more hours!" that was definitely a win. But I DO have to wake up that early tomorrow. Le Boo.

Excited for today's show after it went soooo well last night and everyone told me I was great and looked really good in my costume (diet, FTW!) and it feels like the show has really come together and is something that we are gonna have a blast doing this all summer.

Also, getting excited for some days off.  And starting to audition like a crazy again.  I have one tomorrow (that I might cancel, purely because I am unprepared and I'm honestly not sure I wanna work with the company), one on Tues, a callback on Thurs... Yesh!  I better get something lined up for September. I wanna keep working! 

PLUS!  Next week is Harry Potter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHH! Excitement! And I have tix to Aladdin on Tues and the Sounders game next Sat!  Fun times, and...GO!

Opening night went SUPER well and la mama came to see it, which was glorious.  It was a night intimate show and was a good preview/opener

w00t! Audition outfit.  It went pretty well, but we have a number of conflicts with the show (including two of the workshop days) due to The Tempest, so I'll see if I even get a callback.

Justine joined me and then we grabbed some foodzies at Toulouse Petite.  Soon I'll be heading to the Seattle Outdoor Theatre Festival for our performance tonight.  Thank god I gotta sleep in today because I really needed it.

I open tomorrow (blearg!) and Mon but have Tues off (YAY!!!!!) and am just gonna live for that right now.  Thank god for days off.

Nothing But Heart-Sorrow And a Clear Life Ensuing

dress: Flounce TBD from Nordstrom, tank: thrifted, sweater: borrowed, belt: BP from Nordstrom, boots: MIA from The Rack, accessories: gifted necklace, Relic watch, Enerjewels earrings

Whew!  Opening night outfit!  w00t!  Cannot wait to get there and get this thing going!

Voice feels good (wearing teal scarf to give me vocal energy).  Hoping la mama and the Bug come tonight!  Done, done, done!

Task Ariel and All Her Quality

blouse: Old Navy, jeans: BDG from Urban, shoes: Sperry Top-Siders from Nordstrom, accessories: Relic watch, spikey earrings, crest necklace gifted

Well, it's opening night and although my voice was mostly there last night, I was only talking at half-volume, so... I am a little bit nervous.  Plus, working bar today I was chatting it up with the regulars.  So much fun to work bar.  Much better than reg now that I am more confident about my drink-making abilities.

Oh, opening.  I am just praying I make it through with my voice and then if we all go out to celebrate, I will be sticking to the hot toddys.  I have a audition tomorrow at 1:45pm, but absolutely nothing to do before then, so I am guessing that there will be a lot of sleep and maybe some yoga?  Maybe...

Also, might hit up yoga or pilates today?  Probs not though.  Haven't napped yet and had no coffee at work this morning, so I think I might just sleep, take a super-hot shower again and then get ready to head to the show.

Last night's run thru felt like it was really coming together.  Glad to get in front of an audience tonight and start the next step of the process.

Was 't Well Done?

tee: Banana Republic, jeans: Levi's, shoes: Sperry Top-Siders from Nordstrom

Heading to the last rehearsal before opening.  In the rain.  Oh, lower woodlawn, I will always tech on you in the rain... Blearg.

But first!  A massage!  Yay!

Full of Valour

tee: Old Navy, capris: thrifted Gap, shoes: Sperry Top-Siders from Nordstrom, accessories: Enerjewels gifted earrings, Relic watch

Well, I only worked 3.5 hours because well, what good is a barista with no voice (or who isn't willing to use it and possibly blow it out at work)? I apologized profusely and did as much as I could for Kayla, but  I think I just need sleep and vocal rest.  Two things I obviously cannot get during the SB opening shift.

I came home and slept a good two more hours and have now eaten (wondering about energy levels leading to vocal pushing as well), inhaled massive amounts of miracle tea, honey and apple cider vinegar and have plans with a suuuuuuuper hot shower and salt water gargle in a bit.  The thing is that I do NOT feel sick.  I just feel tired.  And I think opening shifts + opening weeks = BAD. I need to remember this for the future and make sure I get enough time to rest my chords each night before heading into work the next day.

Also, warming up would probably be a good idea. Although I have been warming up physically, I have completely neglected my vocal warm-ups and in the parks and singing... Bad actor, bad actor...

I have my massage in a bit and then I am gonna head to lower woodlawn early to sorta allow myself time for a vocal check in.  Also, so much for the 85 degree weather of yesterday.  It started raining right as I left work this morning. Planning for a wet (final) rehearsal... Need to find my umbrella.

Oh and PS, we OPEN tomorrow!  YESH!

All Hail!

tunic: gifted Zara, sandals: gifted Zara

Whoops!  Forgot to press post yesterday:

Getting ready to head to rehearsal after a long opening shift and then hit up another long one tomorrow before our LAST REHEARSAL! Then one more (super short) open before actual opening night! Say that five times fast.

I have Saturday off, so I am looking forward to good weather, relaxing and having a great opening party after Friday's show!  Yay!

Thou Shalt Ere Long Be Free

blouse: H&M, leggings: new Forever 21, clogs: new thrifted Danskos, accessories: Relic watch, gifted mini-heart necklace, tribal earrings

Long day of work today, but we were supes busy, so at least it went by quickly.  Yesterday, Justine and I had a marathon day of hanging out and it was great. We just ran errands and ate good food and talked. Yay for girl time!

Rehearsals are winding down and last night was the first time in costume and well, let's just say I have some work to do in that respect... The makeup and hair were both a little bit wonky last night. They will be better tonight, though...

I Drink the Air Before Me

tank: Maddy M from Nordstrom, skirt: H&M, sandals: Steve Madden from The Rack,  accessories: Relic watch, gifted rings, gifted mini-heart necklace, tribal earrings

Yesterday was glorious.  Just a day lazing in the sun in my bikini?  YES PLEASE!  I ate a TON of good (bad) food and hungout with friends enjoying the sun, bocce and fireworks. Done!

Also, since Jenn had to be back for work at 8am this morning, we didn't do the normal passout somewhere in Dani's parent's house and then get up and grab coffee and drive home in the morning tradition, but rather came home late last night.  Although I totes fell asleep in the car, it was real nice to be sleeping in my own bed.

Today, Justine and I are gonna head out to brunch in a bit and then do some last minute shopping for things for the show (her: better shoes, me: more hairspray, both: SPANX).  So needed these four days off to bond, relax and just kinda breathe a bit before we head straight into tech (tonight!) and work our asses off until opening!  Yipes!

Rompin' Around

romper: thrifted, flip-flops: gifted Nike, accessories: Relic watch

Well, the weather gods have blessed us with an absolutely GORGEOUS 4th!  w00t!  Waiting right now for Dani and then we are heading to her parent's house on Lake Tapps for the day and this year I'll actually be able to do some swimmin!  Yay!  I think this is the fifth or so year that I've gone with D to her parents' for the 4th and it is supes fun!

Still a little exhausted from going out with my cast after rehearsal for the last 3 days straight, so it'll probs be a little more low key than usual (see: last year...yesh), but soooooo excited!  Luvin my cast and excited to have a day off (much needed, I think) before we head into tech to spend with my bestie!

Will Not Be Uplifted

tank: kimchi blue from Urban, sweater: Fossil, leggings: H&M (dead), flip-flops: gifted Nike, accessories:  gifted rings, Relic watch, Charlotte Russe necklace, teal drop earrings

w00t!  This was for yesterady's inconsistent weather (sunny? cloudy? rainy? MAKE UP YOUR DAMN MIND, SEATTLE!) and rehearsal at Lincoln Park followed by an all-company BBQ at Ken's in SeaTac.

More funtimes chased with more beer and good foodzies (and, of course, croquet). But I definitely managed to hurt the outside of my right shin/knee and big toe somehow... le boo. Hoping it goes away as I am up more (like the weird foot pain does--I am getting OLD).

Fun times with the cast! So glad we all go out together and schtuff.  Makes life more funzies!

Overexposed

There we go, it wouldn't let me write for a while, so I had to just post it without anything there.  This is what I wore on Sat and life has legit been so crazytimes that I am just now able to update...

Sat was fun.  Good HOT day rehearsing in Magnuson followed by an all-night hangout with all the singles in the cast down at Madison Beach (complete with a near-midnight jump in Lake Washington!). Totes goodtimes...

And totally breaking with the diet to eat jalepeno poppers and drink margaritas and beers!  Yay!  Adding foods back in is much more fun than cutting them out. Just sayin'.

Correspondent to Command

Getting ready to walk all the way up the hill to Volunteer Park (does not make sense to bus it, but BOY is it a WALK) for rehearsal.  We're starting to head to different parks to do rehearsals, which is always the first step to TECH.  We open a week from today!  Yesh!

Come see The Tempest by GreenStage and here is more info: http://greenstage.org/ So, go online and find the park YOU wanna come see me spirit around in!

Well, the monster five week-day opening shifts in a row work week is officially O-V-E-R!  Supes excited to be able to enjoy my four days off. w00t! I even managed to get to yoga three times!

I head back to rehearsal tonight and am about to get ready for that right now. And can I just say?  Oh, cheese, how I have missed thee!  I slow cooked some chicken breast with salsa added some cheddar and pepper jack with lettuce and a bit of fat free plain yogurt and holy crap!  I am a cook!  Then I had my bleu cheese chicken burger in a lettuce wrap with a dijon'd tomato for lunch.  Seriously, cheese makes everyone a fabulous cook. YES!

Tomorrow I have no where to be until rehearsal at noon!  GAH!  YES!
