Double Take

blouse: Old Navy, capris: thrifted Gap, shoes: Sperry Top-Siders from Nordstrom, accessories: Relic watch

Oh yeah, you can see the pink on my chest. Whoops! Pretty sure I just managed to sweat off all the sunscreen I'd put on. That's how hot it was sitting out there. Just a heat trap with NO cross-breeze, but it was fun. I wore this to yesterday's opener.

Super Simple

I wore this to my little shorty shift this morning, then headed out to the market to pick up some thank you flowers for closing night tonight. About to head out to meet la mama for pre-Damn Yankees drinks and apps. Then off to closing night tonight...

Gearing up to head to the 3rd and Pike holiday/Kayla's going away party at a co-workers house tonight. Tomorrow is also the only shift in my nine-days straight that is not an opener, so good timing, party, good timing.

Tomorrow night I head over to la mama's to dog-/housesit for three days and then tomorrow night is cheapy Chinese food, catching up and crazy times theatre with Carolyn! Followed by another opener with a doctor's appointment and yoga thrown in followed by another opener with a massage & some good theatre starring a great friend followed by another opener followed by some more yoga and possibly a new roomie(!), followed by another opener (and some death), followed by another opener and (possibly?) some Xmas Eve Hawks football? Let's cross our fingers on that one...

LONG ASS WEEK! But I am excited to have some fun times thrown in there.

Is It Me You're Looking For?

tee: Old Navy, capris: thrifted Gap, belt: thrifted, shoes: Tom's from Nordstrom, accessories: Relic watch, gifted mini-heart necklace, Marilyn Monroe earrings

Just wore this to my random mid-shift today.  Seriously, bumming on my shorty shifts recently.  Just wish that when I go to work, I can stay for 7 or 8 hours.  I'm already there, ya know?

Anyways, I have the next two days off and am housesitting for la mama next week.  I also have two auditions (for musicals--w00t!) in the next three days, so yay for that as well...

I'm Just a Girl

blouse: Old Navy, capris: thrifted Gap, belt: thrifted, shoes: new Sperry Top-Siders from Nordstrom, accessories: Relic watch, gifted mini-heart necklace, gifted pink earrings

Well, these shoes totally ATE MY FEET.  I will be stuck wearing flip-flops for a while now.  Back to the grindstone today after a loverly day off yesterday where I literally did nothing. NOTHING. Glorious. But, unfortunately, it meant I didn't sleep very well last night... Blearg. But, at least, I got outta work a half hour earlier than I thought I was going to!

Then I headed to pilates with a different teacher than there was before and she was AWESOME.  Totally KICKED my ASS!  Def wanna go to that class again.

This afternoon I have a meeting with the costumer who is building the costumes for the Steam Punk Circus gig at the end of the month. Cannot WAIT to see those. w00t!  Gigs rock!

Then later on I am meeting with the roomie for dinner.  I have tomorrow off, though, so that's loverly.  Plus the seestor is coming into town tomorrow, so hopefully I'll get to hangout with her! And I have a massage tomorrow and wanna go to yoga before I meet up with the fam.

One By One

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

Opened today.  Blearg. Exhausted at the end of the eight-hour shift.  BUT I still managed to run some errands (decided not to deposit the monies until tomorrow when I can pick up my tips...), but I def got my contacts ordered and bought more oatmeal (yay!!!!! Totes notice a difference when I eat before my opening shifts vs when I do not, so oatmeal is the answer). Also, did half of my laundry (nothing better than a clean body in clean sheets, for cereal... Plus, clean apron for tomorrow!) and doing the other half when I get off tomorrow too... Oh the exciting life I lead...

PLUS, I have a massage appointment for Wed!  Thanks be to the gods! Because seriously, this whole working all the time thing is KILLING my back.  I think Ariel must have worked out some kinks every weekend because it is SOOOO bad right now and that's the only thing that I can tell is different... Hopefully she will help me work some of this crap stuck in my left side...

Then I actually motivated myself to go to a GREAT yoga class tonight (with one of my fav teachers!). More plans to hit up yoga tomorrow and Thursday night as well.  Gettin' back into the swing of things.

Sunkissed and Happy

blouse: H&M, capris: thrifted Gap, shoes: Tom's from Nordstrom, accessories: gifted mini-heart necklace, Relic watch,  tribal earrings, new: haircut

Well, another openin' and dear god am I happy for a day off to sleep in, etc. tomorrow. Whew, I need it. I also got to hangout in the loverly sun this afternoon reading in my romper at the park near my apt.  Le sigh.  It's also supposed to get into the 80's next week!  STAY THAT WAY, WEATHER!

Handily

blouse: Forever 21, capris: thrifted Gap, shoes: Tom's from Nordstrom, accessories: Cost Plus leaf earrings, Relic watch

Worn today for work!  Yay! Regular 9-5 shift followed by tomorrow off (movie day!) and then a little shorty 11-3 that I picked up at 2nd and Lenora for Wed.

Haven't Finished a Thing

Who Can Save Us?

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

Dear GOD, my hair is long.  I'm not really realizing it since 3/4 of the week it's either up in a crazy times or else back in a bouffant to make it look presentable, but when it's clean.  Yesh.  This shizz is insanity.  Don't think it's been this long since...I dunno when...

I worked at 1st and Pike today and Clover coffee?  WORTH THE PRICE!  Holy crap, sooooo good.  Ridic. I had two different ones (the Sumatra and Jamaica Blue Mountain--on ice!) and both were supes good.  Although neither one was as bold as I like my coffee.  Plus, it was fun to be able to screw with the regulars who go to both stores (they were confuzzled) and feel like everything was new again.  Def made the day go by faster.  Plus, they were busy. For realz.

Then I was supposed to meet with Thea to talk about the Sunday plans for the Mad Men party we are "hosting" (ya know, playing Joan again, but this time with a Betty!), but her hair took at little bit longer than expected and she had to cancel, but no problem.  I was getting a pedi and then sitting outside in the sun(!) reading Game of Thrones on my kindle. w00t! w00t! It was good times.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Fashion Fusion

blouse: Old Navy, capris: thrifted Gap, oxfords: BDG from Urban, accessories: Relic watch, gifted mini-heart necklace, tribal earrings

Had a nice little shorty shift at work today and then big plans for getting schtuff done, but when I realized that this was my only opportunity to have a do-nothing day, I took it.  Came straight home from work and went back to sleep for a couple hours and then relaxed a bit and took it easy, which, to be honest, was great.

Well-Known

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

It was absolutely gorgeous today and I only worked until 1030!  Then I ran a ton of errands and yoga'd all preppy-like (picture this outfit with my green military coat on top and the white collar popped out--it was awesome!) before coming home and absolutely crashing.

Ran into a friend on the way to my apartment who invited me to come lay out at the park and enjoy the weather with her, but the 430am start to my workday sorta put a damper on that.  Plus, I didn't do such a good job sleeping last night since I went out for a co-worker's (the one I am technically replacing) going away thing (only stayed for an hour, in bed by 11), but it made for less sleep... blearg.  Still glad I went, though.
