How to Deal

blouse: Old Navy, skirt: H&M, leggings: Lululemon, socks: DKNY, boots: Frye from Nordstrom

I wore this to my shift on Friday before I headed to yoga and then ran a few errands...

In a Minute

dress: H&M, leggings: Lululemon, shoes: Sperry Top-Siders from Nordstrom, accessories: Relic watch, Bellatrix Etsy neckace, pearl drop earrings

I wore this to what I thought would be a quick little 5.5 hour shifty and then running errands before heading to yoga, but when the second opener didn't show up, I booked it to work a little early and then got to stay longer than planned. Boom! 90 more minutes. (THANK GOD) Although skipping yoga sorta bit the big one... Oh wells. Sacrifices...

Settling Down

sweater: H&M, blouse: H&M, trousers: H&M, belt: thrifted, socks: gifted, boots: Blowfish from DSW, accessories: Relic watch, new Nordstrom earrings

I wore this to my opener this morning and I went ahead and wore it out to Costco later on... Boo on the trip taking too long to make yoga, but yay for ordering new contacts (four boxes for $100--yes, please!) and for getting a few fun foodzies in the process. But BOO on having to pay the renewal fee. Like I have the monies...

On the good news front, Nordys called to say that my boots (all three!) are mended and all ready to go! Yes! That means no more wet feet (oh yeah, the boots above totally leak) and no more holes in the bottom of my expensive boots. And all for $30. This is why I shop at Nordstrom.

Look Into It

blouse: H&M, sweater: H&M, trousers: H&M, boots: OTBT from Nordstrom, accessories: Relic watch, Bellatrix necklace from Etsy, Cost Plus leaf earrings

I wore this to work this morning after literally doing nothing yesterday. At one point I considered going grocery shopping, but then the deluge started outside and I decided to postpone until today... Well, I did shower yesterday, but other than that I think I slept about 16-18 hours and just watched TV and ate. It was glorious. And I still woke up tired this morning (but not in the oversleeping tired way, in the I'm still exhausted even though I got enough sleep last night kind of way).

So, I think I overcompensated and ran a TON of errands and got SO much done today post-work. Managed to decide to get my three working pairs of boots fixed all at once (so, now I'm bootless in rainy Seattle spring...whoops... for about a week... double whoops...) and even though I bought a new pair, they have to be shipped to Nordys and they won't be there for another week or so either. DAMMIT. Oh wells. Guess I'll just be wearing my wellies and changing into work shoes once I get there...

Then I headed to yoga and went directly to a matinee of a Red at the Rep (SO GOOD--definitely stealing a monologue from it, even though it's 2 guys...), did some grocery shopping and came home and made dinner for the week...

Tomorrow's plans include work, Costco run for contacts, oatmeal and other large items then trying to get back in time for yoga, passing out for a bit and then heading to the last weekend of the show! w00t!

Stand Back & Watch Out

blouse:  H&M, capris: Lululemon, socks: gifted, boots: OTBT from Nordstrom, accessories: Relic watch, gifted crest necklace, orange diamond earrings

I wore this to my opener this morning... Le boo. Soooo tired all day. But glad to get the hours in and everything since I (potentially) have jury duty for the rest of the week...

Then I ran a number of errands and hit up yoga.

Count to Four

blouse: H&M, trousers: H&M, shoes: Tom's from Nordstrom, accessories: Relic watch, orange diamond earrings

I wore this to my opener this morning and then to head out and run a ton of errands and head to pilates before coming home... I am now gonna take a little nappy, a shower and head out to rehearsal tonight. Here we go! Tomorrow is gonna be memorization day too. I am gonna head to yoga at noon and then the library to sit, memorize and then head to meet Dani for foodzies, drinkles and either a play or a movie! YAY!

Reclaim It

blouse: H&M, sweater: swapped, leggings: Lululemon, skirt: H&M, socks: DKNY, boots: Report Signature from Nordstrom, accessories: Relic watch, Enerjewels necklace, tribal earrings

I wore this to my opener yesterday and had lofty plans to book it to yoga right after, but I got outta work late, so I just ran a TON of errands and got stuff done that I'd postponed due to last week's cray cray snow.

Tired of Everything

tee: threadless, sweater: thrifted, pants: Yoga, boots: Tommy Hilfiger from DSW, accessories: Relic watch

Wearing so many layers to rehearsal. We thought it was gonna hit during rehearsal, but it didn't. All I wanted was for it to hang on until after I got off work Tuesday at 12:30...

Curiouser and Curiouser

blouse: H&M new, sweater: Lux from Urban, capris: Lululemon, socks: DKNY, boots: Frye from Nordstrom, accessories: Relic watch, gifted crest necklace, Cost Plus leaf earrings

This is what I wore to work today. And then to yoga (SO proud of myself for actually going). I am now going to nap and make it through one more rehearsal tonight and one more opener tomorrow. Then...

Oh sweet nothing! I have tickets to a show on Friday night, plans to see The Artist with Dani on Saturday, maybe grabbing drinks with Jess Saturday night and possibly hitting up the late show of 14/48, then going to Spring Awakening Sunday night with Sarah. So ya know, sweet nothing. Relaxing weekend off.

In less than 24 hours I will be completely off for two whole days. w00t. w00t, indeed.

Brightest Hours

blouse: new H&M, jeans: BDG from Urban, belt: Kenneth Cole Reaction from The Rack, boots: Blowfish from DSW, accessories: mini-heart necklace gifted, pink coral leopard earrings

I wore this to my early mid-shift this morning and then Jess and I were gonna meet to exchange presents, but with the crazy-times rain today, we bailed. She came over for a bit and we chatted for a short time but bailed early. Yesterday's yoga killed me. I was super sore this morning... le boo. But it was good too. I'm glad that it was so great.

I also finally got some laundry done today. Finally. Clean sheets make me happy pants. Tomorrow I open, hit up some more yoga, get a massage and then head to the first 14/48 meeting where they pick the theme, the playwrights and the actor count for the shows that the writers then write all night and I'll be back bright and early Friday morning to blog about all those shenanigans too! Blogging this whole weekend. Starting tomorrow night. Oh, 14/48 virginity, I wish I was losing you in a more actor-ly way but... still! Excited to party with all my theatre peeps!

It Ain't Easy

dress: new H&M, leggings: Lululemon, socks: DKNY, boots: Report Signature from Nordstrom, accessories: mini-heart gifted necklace, Relic watch, mirror earrings

I wore this to my opener this morning. At least all of my openers from here on out aren't 8+ hours... Those shifts are a little hard. All shifts next week allow me to go yoga! w00t! Excited for that.

But, bummed I have to open tomorrow (although getting time & a half and splitting tips only amongst those working tomorrow is a big plus)... But still going out tonight! w00t!

Down for the Night

blouse: Old Navy, skirt: H&M, tie: borrowed form work, leggings: Lululemon, socks: American Eagle Outfitters, boots: Frye from Nordstrom, accessories: giant red hoops

I wore this to my final weekday opener (fourth 430am in a row... fourth of five openers in a row, in general). Oh thank god. I have a long-ass workday tomorrow, but I don't have to start until 6 and once that's over I get a glorious day off. Thank god, seriously. First day off after nine shifts in a row: Xmas. Haha. Good thing we're taking it easy this Xmas. PS Sorry, have not had any time to brave the post-office. CD's will be sent in the mail after Xmas. Love you!

No nap today, but after yesterday's 2.5 hour debacle (making it impossible to fall asleep last night...), I kinda think it's a good thing. After work, I ran a TON of errands, finished up Xmas CD's, packed for Xmas and the trip after and even made it to yoga for the first time this week! Oh, Fridays, I am always so motivated on you.

Street Saavy

blouse: Old Navy, tie: borrowed from work, skirt: H&M, tights: Spanx from The Rack (thanks for finding these, mama!), boots: OTBT from Nordstrom, socks: DKNY, accessories: Relic watch, giant gold disk earrings

I wore this to Tuesday's opener and then headed to a doctor's appointment afterwards. Bummed out on yoga this night (just too tired) and went back to la mama's to walk the Bug and just veg out to Planet Earth before going to bed at a decent hour...

Just Don't

blouse: H&M, vest: Express, capris: Lululemon, socks: DKNY, boots: Blowfish from DSW, accessories: Relic watch, orange diamond earrings, gifted crest necklace

I wore this to my early-mid shift on Tuesday, then to voice lessons and eventually to yoga before heading home and absolutely crashing. Had a loverly day off yesterday where I did absolutely nothing until I headed to yoga at 5:30 last night. Also, found out that my latest possible new roommate bailed on me, so here is my craiglist ad: http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/roo/2754778969.html If you know anyone who may be interested in an apartment soon or someone who may know someone who would be interested, please PASS IT ALONG. I need someone ASAP.

Helluva Day

turtleneck: H&M, skirt: H&M, leggings: Forever 21, sweater: Rubbish from Nordstrom, boots: OTBT from Nordstrom,  accessories: Relic watch, Express necklace, pearl stud earrings

I wore this to my opener yesterday and to run errands all day before yoga, foodzies and napping... which lasted an extra hour longer than I'd expected. Thank god my body woke me up at 5, else I might have missed my show... seriously. Dunno how I slept a whole extra hour, but I clearly needed it. Just glad I was able to get everything done before I had to be at the show.

Turning Point

blouse: H&M, jeans: BDG from Urban, belt: Kenneth Cole Reaction from The Rack, clogs: gifted Danskos, accessories: Relic watch, gifted crest necklace, pearl drop earrings

Worn to my long-ass shift today. Sucks working this much on a Sunday, but... le sigh. It happens. And all the rest of my shifts this week are super short (and all openers...yesh!)... Just waiting until Friday. I have a day off on Friday...

This whole week is effing insane. I open tomorrow and have a show tomorrow night. Open on Tuesday, with a voice lesson that afternoon and possibly a show to go to that night. Open on Wednesday, spend another day shooting, callback Wednesday night. Open on Thursday with a show that night. Also trying to fit in a little yoga, PT and massage smattered throughout the week. Then, Friday off with a show that night. Saturday is a shorty shift 1130-330 with c.1993 recording and then a show. Sunday is shooting for Night Zero on the ghost ramps on the 520... Yesh. This is a week... Let's hope I can get some good naps in there...

tee: American Eagle,  jeans: seethrusoul from Nordstrom, shoes: Converse, accessories: Relic watch

Wore this Monday night (post-yoga and a haircut) to rehearsal.

Handcrafted

tunic: Michael Stars from Nordstrom, vest: H&M, leggings: Forever 21, boots: OTBT from Nordstrom, accessories: Relic watch, gifted rings, gifted min-heart necklace

This was what I wore out to my audition as well as what I am gonna wear to rehearsal tonight.  In between I went to yoga and hungout with the Bug. By 2pm today I had already worked more than four hours, auditioned and taken a yoga class... Yesh.

Tomorrow I have a mid-shift and then Jess and I are heading down to watch the Sounders play in the USOC final! And then two days off.

Partner in Crime

tee: Threadless, sweater: thrifted, pants: Jolt from Nordstrom, belt: Uniqlo, boots: OTBT from Nordstrom, accessories: Relic watch, gifted rings, gifted crest necklace

Worn to rehearsal yesterday night. There was dancing and TONS of work and after my first PT appointment (where he led me to realize that my entire mid-back is suuuuper weak and so, we are clearly gonna work on that.

Plus, between work as a barista all day, yoga/pilates and all the dance we're doing in c.1993 rehearsals no effing WONDER my arm is bugging me so much...

Call On Me

blouse: H&M, trousers: Express, belt: Kenneth Cole Reaction from The Rack, clogs: thrifted Danskos, accessories: gifted mini-heart necklace, Relic watch, long dangly silver earrings 

Wore this to my opener this morning.  LOVED getting a ride to work from my shift.  Those extra 15 minutes of sleep were loverly...

First part of the shift went by super quickly.  We weren't even that busy for a long bit but good people and pretty consistent customers was great.  And then... right before the Hawks game and Obama's speech we got CRAZY for about two hours.  But once the game started... nada.  Soooooo boring... blearg. But that's how weekends go.

Tomorrow I work a 8-2 and then have my first PT appointment... I am a little bit nervous, but also hopeful that it will help this awful injury to start to clear up a bit. I'm sure the intense arm movements in both the dance numbers of c.1993 are not helping either (one is all ballroom dance-y and the second is basically Janet Jackson's "If" video--check it out starting at 3:01, so yeah... a TON of arm stress).  Plus barista-ing and yoga? No wonder I'm still a little effed... Le sigh.
