Marathon Day

turtleneck: H&M, jeans: J Brand from Nordstrom, poncho: H&M, boots: Steve Madden

Shopping, Husky game at the RAM, Burlesque, hanging out with Dani for 24 hours straight--YES!  Yesterday was a marathon day and today is the Seattle marathon (running right by my house, so I can sporadically hear cheers and yelling from my room).

Tryptophan Time

turtleneck: H&M, sweater dress: H&M, leggings: Forever 21, boots: ZigiSoho from DSW, belt: J Crew, accessories: mirror earrings, black & silver bracelets

OK, so my favorite holiday has come and passed and my favorite post-holiday left over turkey sandwiches have also been experienced and now, on to the shopping, seeing Christmas-related shows and celebrating family and friends time!  I heart the holidays!  And I really heart EATING yummy foodz during the holidays!  My pies went over super well and I can't wait to do it again for roomie-giving when Jess gets back!  Rock it!

Today was full of family and football now since the snow has all melted and it was crazytimes in the downtown area today though.  Seriously, crazytimes!  Made me happy I was just going to the market and not trying to hit up the Black Friday sales or make Christmas start in November... Good times today though.

Glad to have some down time tomorrow though.  Thinking yoga in the morning and then trying to hit up  Burlesque with Dani and maybe my mama & seestor in the afternoon and trying to make it to Three Tall Women before it closes on Sun.

Ice Cold

thermal: gifted, pants: Express, socks: American Eagle, boots: Tommy Hilfiger from DSW

How cool is too cool?  Well, it turns out it's right about 20 degrees.  Seriously, my feetzies are still warming up from the walk to work this morning (during which there were at least 3 instances of near ice deaths--I was sliding more than that video of the cars trying to drive down John street on Mon night) because seriously? when I woke up this morning the temperature was 17 DEGREES!  And the high today? 28.  YIKES!  It might not be snowing anymore (boo), but the ice is much, much more dangerous to a walker.  The streets may be clean, but the sidewalks are frakking skating rinks... le boo.

Also, super glad to be outta the house and at work.  Weird, right?  But it definitely feels.  I started to feel cooped up yesterday (hence the trip to the grocery) and a little bored (hence the pie-making), but it feels good to be banging some last minute things out at my near-empty office.  Apparently, there were only 3 people here yesterday, but today there are 4, so at least there's that! Getting things done (and looking good in the process) that's my motto!

Plus, THANKSGIVING!  And I'm not feeling sickie anymore, although the head cold is hanging on!  I can deal with it!  The only thing that really sucks is that the buses are still on snow routes which means I'm going to have to finagle everything to get to my massage and then to mama's... le boo.  But I WILL make it work for me!  I will!  Suck it crappy buses!

It's Pie Time

coat: Nordstrom, hat: H&M, leg warmers: gifted,  wellies: Tommy Hilfiger from DSW, accessory: Marc Jacobs sunglasses

The day officially got off to a start when I called my office to find out the office had been closed for the day due to snow, so I went back to bed with visions of pie crust in my head.  Then I even started to make the crust before realizing that I had no pie tins... le boo.

So, around 2pm I ventured out into the 26 degree weather to get to the grocery store for pie supplies.  And seriously, my little foray into the world just made me happy I had decided to stay home today and a little concerned about getting to work tomorrow, especially if the ice keeps coming.  The walk there I was fine but on the way back there were 2 or 3 moments when I almost bit it.  BAD.  And I had eggs in my bag.  That would have been no good.

But now I am back and I have one pie all ready to go and one in the oven!  Plus, my new blueberry cranberry pie with lattice top and it is pretty!  And the filling is super yummers!  Some of the reviews said it was too sour with the cranberries, but I think it's perfect!  I hope it turns out all good and other people like it since it's all new!

Plus, there has been some quality kitteh time today, but I know I have a lot of work to get done and I am going a little stir-crazy at home and I'd love to get out too.  Yay!

More Records Than The KGB

How Russian do I look now?

Or, as a coworker stated, this is my "Nanook of the North" look.  And, yes, thank you, I was warm on my walk to work this morning in my long winter coat, wool Slytherin scarf, furry H&M hat and opera-length leather gloves.  Plus I look cute.  So there.

Snow Business

tee: Rubbish from Nordstrom, tank: Costco, sweater: Express, tights: Urban, pants: Jolt from Nordstrom, socks: REI, boots: Bear Paw gifted

Oh, there is snow... and MORE is coming down and I am already home from work because of it!  Thank you, snow for making an already short week even shortier!  w00t!

Hamlet, PS was amazing!  SOOOO good!  The entire production was spot on and all it did was make me so incredibly excited to work with such a wonderfully talented company.  It was totally inspiring.  Seriously. Good.  Theatre.  I just wish I had been less sick.  There is nothing worse than sitting in a crowded theatre needing to blow your nose or open a lozenge.  I literally felt like I was ruining it for other people everytime I reached for a kleenex (but to be honest, two or three of those times were because the show made me cry.  Real, big, fat tears streaming down my cheeks.  I've never connected more with the "O what a rogue and peasant slave am I" soliloquy.  It was like it was said just for me.  Thank you, theatre, for that one moment, especially)... So, sorry to everyone sitting by me at Hamlet.  But at least I wasn't the girl to my right eating corn nuts...

PS Please note the amount of layers.  And I still had my heater blowing at my legs at work.  Yes, it's that cold.

All Things End

shirt: Nordstrom, jeans: BDG for Urban, socks: American Eagle, boots: ZigiSoho from DSW 

Well, Money is closed and closing went super, super well!  Thanks to everyone who came out to see it!  I am really proud of my work in it and glad that people got to see it.  It's always fun to play a different character than usual and find out you're funny!  I like that part a lot... I even had a voice for last night's show!  Vocal rest all yesterday was totally worth it.  YES!

Unfortunately, stupid strike lasted forever and I didn't get home until after 2am and I def needed as much  sleep as possible.  But luckily I didn't have to do too much since I had almost negative energy.  I was def glad to head home and to sleep.

Today Dani & I go to Hamlet at Seattle Shakes which is 3 hours, but supposed to be really, really good, so I am totally excited to see it!

Also, it might be snow today!  Apparently it is already starting up north and is absolutely freezing down here already... Go snow!  (But, not until after I get home from the play tonight)
