Day 243: Newt Gingrich is an idiot who thinks this is a good idea.

Via Flickr:
"Let's live on the moon!" Let's not, Newt. Let's not.

(Took this picture while watching Rock Center last night. They were showing a video from the 1960's about how in the 80's, we'd be living on the moon. I feel like it's just as absurd this time around.)

Day 242: Laundry, laundry everywhere....

Via Flickr:
I should do laundry more often.

Day 241: My ear is making a crackling noise and it's really annoying.

Via Flickr:
It keeps doing it every few days! WHY?!

Day 240: Oh yeah...all ladies should be able to make a steak that good.

Via Flickr:
I rule.

Day 236: Final Dress of "How I Learned To Drive"

Via Flickr:
This play was about pedophilia. I wasn't crazy about it. But Twilight fans and Wicked fans will just love it.

...cause Elisabeth Reaser (Esme) and Norbert Leo Butz (Fiyero) are in it.

Day 235: A quick stop by Magnolia....

Via Flickr:
It's good. But all in all, not my favorite cupcakes in New York City. But still, it's an institution. And absolutely adorable on the inside.

Day 234: Snow! Snow! Finally snow!!!!!!!!!! Hooray!

Via Flickr:
It only took like 2 months to happen....yeesh. But oh the glorious snow! I licked a little. It was great. :)

Day 233: The daffodils who entertain at....

Via Flickr:
Angelo and Maxie's! Wheeeeeen a Broadway Baby says goodnight, it's early in the - ....ok, sorry. Brief Musical Theater outburst.

Day 232: Scouter's favorite toy is Mr. Bill - and yes, he does make sound. "Oh nooooooooo"

Via Flickr:
I'm sorry. My dog is adorable. How can you not love her? And her intense love of Mr. Bill is kind of hilarious. She's figured out how to press the button to make him talk and she'll do it over and over and over. Am I annoyed? Only slightly.

Day 231: It's Broadway Week...so I'm seeing another show!

Via Flickr:
Ahh, who doesn't love a campy staged photo? This was taken hastily as I entered the theater...hence the awkward face. :)

To be honest, this show was slightly disappointing overall. I had many moments where I said "how'd they do that?!" but...they mostly involved the crazy expensive and elaborate set. And Ms. Poppins flying over the audience at the end. I think that was my one "child-like moment of awe", if you will. Otherwise, the show was a little too campy and cartoonish for me. Plus, I didn't really enjoy any of the additional songs they added.

Oh, and who the heck is their dialect coach? C'mon people, I didn't pay that much to see a "quasi-english accent".

Day 230: At least I take advantage of good theater while living inNYC...if nothing else.

Via Flickr:
Ok, and I take advantage of the cupcakes. Lots and lots of cupcakes.

PS: Norm Lewis was phenomenal, even though I think he may have been a little sick. Audra was beautiful. The whole cast had stunning voices and heartbreaking performances. I've never seen this show before and I liked it much more than I thought I would. Go see it if you can.

Day 225: Richard III with Kevin Spacey....yeah.

Via Flickr:
He was great. Intense, scary, funny (....right? How are you funny as Richard III??! He was hilarious.) It was super cool.

Day 222: Scouter girl and her pretty pink bows

Via Flickr:
She looks so wise here....like an old soul... If I had to pick which of my dogs is an old soul, it would NOT be Scout. Perhaps I need to get to know her better!

Day 217: Trying to stay warm...coldest day of the year so far!

Via Flickr:
Seriously. It was freezing. I didn't stop walking to take this picture which is why it's a little messy...and my glasses were fogging up from my breath.... Brrr.

Day 216: Back to the boring old Starbucks cups.... :(

Via Flickr:
Not nearly as adorable as holiday cups.

Day 215: There was a giant hole in my sheet. So I was a ghost. And then made rags.

Via Flickr:
The things I do when I'm bored....

Day 214: Happy New Year Lava cake

Via Flickr:
OM NOM NOM... I know it looks a nasty mess but I can't tell you how delicious. :)

Day 213: New Years Eve at Sleep No More - this is just the beginning of my night!

Day 212: Meet Me In St. Louis - Momma and Me

89 Years Old and still going strong. I love her. :)

Day 210: My very first piece of custom made jewelry!

Yeah, I'm classy now. But only if I wear this.

Day 209: Christmas with Mom proved to be quite impressive!

Via Flickr:
Yay cooking stuff!!!!!!

Day 208: All through the house, not a creature was stirring - unless you count my Dad snoring.

Via Flickr:
Christmas tuckered Dad out.

Day 207: Merry Christmas! I made Christmas Morning Cocoa (from LA Burdick, of course!)

Via Flickr:
That's a Williams Sonoma Hot Chocolate Maker in the back...it works quite well - our hot chocolate was very frothy! Dad was the only one who wanted whipped cream.

Day 206: The Christmas Eve Table

Via Flickr:
My sister made a fabulous meal! And decorated beautifully!

Day 205: What? You've never seen toe shoes before? Taking a walk in the Hill Country!

Via Flickr:
These things are fun. But it's weird to feel stuff between your toes while running.

Day 204: Thank you Xpress Spa at JFK for making me presentable after my crappy day.

Via Flickr:
A bad day at work means I deserve a Pedi! Ahhhh yes, much better.
