Two-fer

sweatshirt: Lululemon, pants: Jolt from Nordstrom, boots: Chinese Laundry

It's another instance of "whoops, I forgot to press post yesterday"  So, here's what I had said:

Oh, holy hell it is early!  But I have to get up and head to my mama's and watch my Hawks kick some BEAR ASS! (At least, I hope because if I woke up this morning for no reason, I'm gonna cry.)

Then tonight I am gonna head over to Dani's to watch the Golden Globes (go King's Speech!), so yay!  Busy Sunday and tomorrow I have the day off and my audition at the 5th tomorrow night before Lindy and I head up to the Hill and catch Blue Valentine.   THEN Tues is the first 3P rehearsal!  w00t! w00t!

na-na-na-na! na-na-na-na-na!

Yes, yes it is.  The day has finally come when I am saying goodbye to everyone at my salaried, benefitted day job to go do a (less than) 2 month gig within my actual career field. And then...? Well, it will be an adventure and something new and different and exactly what I need right now.

I have 4 days before we start rehearsals for Threepenny and that time will be full of plays (14/48 tonight), yoga (tomorrow morning), football (Sun morning), the Golden Globes (Sun night), auditioning (Monday evening), movies (Mon night?), friends (um, always?) and family (ditto).  Busy time and... GO!

Last night I got to see Aine again for the first time in...um... I honestly don't know... years, for sure.  And a new show at OtB that had dancing! A rock band! Sur titles! Full frontal male nudity!  A totally random video montage at the end! A hot man-on-man makeout sesh! And one of the coolest strobe light dance sequences ever! WIN! Then, Jess, Anna & I went out dancing! At a gay bar! On 80's night! With the cast!  Waaaaaaay too little sleep, but it was funtimes and totes worth it. PLUS, who cares, it's my...

...LAST DAY...

New: Purse

Tory Burch Kiliaen Messenger

I know, I know!  This is the third Tory Burch I have rented, but I REALLY love her bags and I have been looking for a cute/big messenger bag for a looooong time and when I saw this Tory Burch Kiliaen Messenger?  PERFECT!  I should get it in about a week and this will be the first experiment in the non-working-UPS-delivering-a-purse-to-my-house experiment.  Here's hoping this goes off without a hitch... Or without too many hitches...

A new (and MUCH larger) bag is in my future!

Vintage Inspired

blazer: gifted vintage Dior, tee: Kimchi Blue from Urban, skirt: H&M, tights: American Apparel, boots:  Chinese Laundry, accessories: long black beaded necklace, giant flower ring from Nordstrom, black & silver beaded bracelets

With the temperatures heating up outside (OK, in the 50's, but at least it can't snow, right?), I decided to break out a non-coat outfit (hello, blazer serves as a coat/jacket).  Plus I'm heading out to OtB tonight to catch a show with Aine & Jess so I wanted to look cute, but still be comfy (I am a walker after all).  I really love how the blue stripe on my tights matches the blue houndstooth in the blazer!

Last night was deliciously low key and exactly what I needed since plans for tonight will probably end up raucous (judging by the stories Jess has told me about the Poles...yesh).  So yay for seeing old friends!  Yay for seeing fun new theatre! Yay for hanging out with international casts! Yay for...

...1 day...

Faux Snow

tee: Pitaya, sweater: gifted Rubbish from Nordstrom, leggings: H&M, boots: Tommy Hilfiger from DSW, wellie liners:  gited Steve Madden, accessories: tribal earrings, mini-heart necklace gifted

Well, it might have come down last night, but it was mostly gone this morning.  Seattle Public Schools and Cesari shared a "two-hour late start" this morning and I came to work at 10 (late start on my last Wed?  Yes., please!) and we got a pizza lunch and cake!  And it super does not feel like Wed.  Kinda slow and boring and a lovely foil to yesterday's pure insanity.

Plus, I made some KICK ASS chicken soup last night.  Chicken broth, veggies that needed to be eaten (peppers, spinach, onion), lotsa spices and rice.  Soooo yummy.  10 points, Gina.  And I'm gonna be able to eat its leftovers for at least the rest of the week.  Of course, downside to living with a vegetarian is that I can make something amazing and awesome like this soup and I cannot share... Oh wells...

Also, I feel remiss that I have not given credit to my roommate's Xmas gift for helping me take the last few days pictures.  She got me a tripod.  Yup, that's right.  No more art installation of Harry Potter books serving as my photo area.  I now have a genuine camera area!  Thanks, roomie.  It's pretty damn awesome!

No plans tonight apart from kitteh time and eating more of my awesome soup.  And speaking of kittehs, I haven't updated you all on kitteh watch (2010? 2011?) in a while. So, somehow the rabbit managed to jump on the TOP shelf in my closet (knocking all the clothes off, naturally) last night.  No idea how she got up there, but came into my room and heard a "mew" coming from somewhere other than under the bed and I peeked in the closet and there she was sitting on top of the lone sweatshirt she had not knocked over in her effort. Mostly, I was a amused.  And impressed.  They seem to be getting on better and better (YAY!), so I have high hopes for sharing a bed with both of them one night!  Rock it.

God, these are terrible pictures.  Seriously. Awful.  Almost wasn't gonna post, but you know.  Hey, it's snowing right now!  I even got to go to yoga and get home before it really started coming down hard.  Rock on, weather gods!  Well timed and well played.  Now I am making homemade soup and sitting with a kitteh on my lap.
