Onfield Advantage

thermal: gifted UW, jersey: Sounders Ljungberg, scarf: Sounders, jeans: Street from Pitaya,  shoes: Sperry Top-Siders from Nordstrom, accessories: Relic watch, gifted rings, long dangley silver earrings

Well, one of my mama's neighbors works for the Sounders so not only did we score ROCKIN' tix to tonight's game courtesy of Coinstar, but we have onfield passes for beforehand to watch them warm up! I am about the take off to meet la mama and the seestor in what is really our last 3 girls hurrah before Lindy has to start packin' up to head back to Mormonville for good(-ish)!  I promised her lots of Skype time and visits (if only to SKI and maybe head to Park City for Sundance? Anyone else wanna come? But no, really to see her).  It's gonna be weird to say goodbye to her again.  It's like I just got used to her being around again... le sigh... I heart you tchissy!

Ran errands this morning (including picking up jeans that needed to be mended) and I am SOOOOO happy it's nice out.  Could not sleep to save my life last night (weird heart beating thing AGAIN), so I ended up taking an ambien and passing out around 2am, meaning not only did I skip yoga this morning, but I didn't even really wake up until la mama called my at a quarter to noon... Hopefully a busy day today will help combat insomnia... DO NOT COME BACK. I DO NOT WANT YOU!

Also, plans to go out with the seestor post-game tonight.  Bringing clothes with me just in cases!  Hoping I get to have one last seestor date before it gets all tainted with me being a tag-along with all her friends... le boo (you know I love them).

Audit This

blouse: LA Made from Nordstrom, tank: Costco, skirt: Black Halo from LA, flats: Linea Paolo from Nordstrom, accessories: Relic watch, medallion necklace, gifted rings, chipping OPI nail polish

Early morning audition for the First Date workshop at the 5th (crossing my fingers!) and it went really well.  For some reason I got really nervous (shakey nervous) during my first song.  It was the first time I had sung that cut and after my very first line I almost forgot my next line... yesh.  But I recovered and all was good and it felt fab!  I will find out tonight if I am called back for tomorrow or Sun.

Then (since I missed my opportunity to yoga today by about 5 min... sad panda), I headed out to do the downtown Starbucks resume run, got TONS of manager cards and even got an interview for next Tues! I would be so good at that job. All I do is hope that I get a job soon.  Bored with unemployment.

Better Off

tee: Hollister, tank: Costco, sweater: American Eagle, jeans: BDG from Urban, flats: Sam Edelman from Loehmanns, accessories: vintage necklace, Relic watch, gifted shell bracelet, leaf earrings

Spent most of today making follow up phone calls trying to get more job interviews (no luck yet, but more to make tomorrow) and practicing for my audition tomorrow morning.

Now I am getting ready to go out and meet my Night Zero director for a little character meeting and drinks getting ready for the shoot on May 8th...

Right as Rain

tee: Michael Stars from Nordstrom, tank: Costco, leggings: H&M, shoes: Blink from Asos, accessories: long teal earrings, Charlotte Russe necklace

Had one of those days with incredibly bad bus luck, plus totes wearing the wrong thing to get caught in the afternoon downpour... Blearg.  Oh wells.

Got a lot done today: yoga'd, then shopped for some dress ideas for Pamelita and on my way to the library I got caught in the torrential downpour sans umbrella or hat or anything... But it was good.  Getting things done.  w00t!

At the Ballet

tee: Ballet Studio from American Apparel, leotard: Capezio dance, skirt: Papaya, tights: American Apparel, flats: Asos

Thought I should include a pic of what I usually wear to ballet (or used to "usually"wear and now hopefully will again).  That's it.  It's cute and does everything I need it to.  Comfy, movable. slimming...

Ballet def kicked my ASS! I have forgotten so much.  Way more than I thought I would, but it's nice to be doing it again.  Hopefully, I'll be getting back in the swing of this for a long time!

Interview with a Barista

blouse: Love Squared from Nordstrom, sweater: Mod Cloth, pants: Jolt from Nordstrom, flats: Asos, accessories: Charlotte Russe necklace, gifted shell bracelet, vintage pink earrings

Had my job interview at Uptown this afternoon and it went as well as I could hope for, I think!  The woman who interviewed me said she would let me know by the end of the week whether or not there is a position for me.  I'd love a job, but am a little concerned about both my availability (shops are open until 10pm) and also travel issues (you technically work at all eight locations, including the 2 in West Seattle), but I think I can resolve those and the environment seems really open and supportive! She actually said how happy she was that I have worked in so many different fields and that I had such a great passion in theatre.

I was supposed to grab lunch with the roomie post-interview, but she got the days confused (thought audition today, interview Fri not vice versa), so we just hugged and chatted for a quick minute and then I wandered around handing out my resume in lower QA (hit up four more places!).

Plans for tonight include ballet (say, WHAT?!) and thai food (major pad thai craving).  Ballet because, to be honest, putting on that Jackie O dress a few years after I last wore it, I realized that I no longer have the slim hips and thighs that I did when I was doing ballet all the time.  Not to say I'm not in shape (thanks to yoga!), but I think I need to mix it up a bit.  My upper body is much shaplier from the yoga, but I've lost that definition in my glutes and thighs that I had when I was ballet-ing all the damn time.  New goal: yoga three/four times a week mixed in with ballet once/twice a week.  I'm a little bummed that the teacher I heart so much is on maternity leave (she was sooo pregs when I saw her at FFOK in March), but I think that mixing it up with new teachers is also a good idea.

I plan to be super sore tomorrow (haven't been to ballet in months and months), but I have yoga morning plans and shopping in the afternoon plans (I WILL find some dress options for Pam!) and possibly hitting up a show tomorrow night?

I Can Haz This Altuzarra Coat?

I'd take the dresses too, but mostly I want that coat. Gorgeous! Plus the top outfit is modeled by Karlie Kloss (I super heart her).  Definitely an all-around WIN.
