After bodywork I went to Gorilla Coffee with classmates and then, still talking, we went together to look at vintage clothing at Beacon’s Closet on 5th and then I wrote for a while at the Pacific Street branch of the Brooklyn Public Library (the one that always makes me think of a set from The Music Man). That was my creative part. Then on to Trader Joe’s for mommy-work shopping for vegetables to cut up as appetizers for tomorrow’s Upper Grade Potluck and the black cherry gelatin cups My Kid likes in her lunches, and something to make for dinner tonight before picking up My Kid at school where all the 4th graders returned in the evening after attending a matinee of the Broadway production of The Lion King which we all hope is creative inspiration for our children. One of those, it’s amazing that we live in New York City days, the kind I used to read about in books.

Mexican style food
OK so the frozen Trader Joe’s enchiladas with sides of corn, guacamole and corn chips went over SO MUCH BETTER than that REALLY HEALTHY dinner that other night. Just sayin’.
tick tick tock
Watching the clock… How much can I get done before I have to leave? I have two and a half hours before I have to leave for the theatre. My Kid has Robotics after school today and The Husband is planning to leave work early to pick her up, so I don’t have to leave in half an hour to pick her up. I have a whole two and a half hours in the apartment.
I should take a shower. I didn’t get one this morning in the rush to get My Kid to school. I definitely should not go into a 5 hour rehearsal without having showered today.
I just got back from Trader Joe’s. I didn’t think I had gotten that much but when I got outside I realized it would be hard to carry the 3 bags all the way from Court and Atlantic to the subway at Jay Street. So, I called a car service. I hadn’t planned to call a car. If I had I would have bought more groceries. Well, I bought frozen enchiladas, the kind My Kid likes, they can have that for dinner tonight while I’m at rehearsal. I also got apples, clementines, carrots and mini yoghurts for her lunch. But, I forgot the maple syrup for her toaster waffles and the fruit bars she said she likes in her lunch. Me, I’ve been living on Odwalla Super Protein and bananas and coffee for quite some time. I’m too busy running around to eat. Unless I can sit down with The Husband I’m just not interested.
Enough of this blogging. I need to get the front room organized enough so The Husband and My Kid can make dinner and do homework (IT’S ALL ABOUT THEM) and I need get together some makeup to put on. Kendall said there would be a photographer at rehearsal tonight. I need to draw on some eyes and lips so I won’t be featureless under the stage lights (IT’S ALL ABOUT ME).
IT’S ALL ABOUT TIME.
Hot Clowning like Hot Yoga only with noses
We were in the studio today OMG it was hot–sweating my clown nose off–yuck!
I wanted a shower when I got home–but I didn’t get one, we went to Trader Joe’s (I’m not sure if that’s because it’s the closest name grocery or if we are jumping on the “I hate Whole Foods because they hate insurance for all” bandwagon.
I have a cheat sheet here; 4 little drawn maps of the walking patterns of my “weird lady with the candle” from the last show. Not gonna help. We are in a different venue…
Anyway…
Rehearsal…
Hot…
Sweaty…
Clown noses are not a comfortable thing when ones face is liquid sweat–just sayin…
So I got up alone and left to go to rehearsal and then I came home and they were preparing to go shopping for the ingredients to make homemade pizza–and while we were doing that we remembered that today is the day of the fundraiser for Doug Biviano, our PS8PTA friend who is running for City Council. So we HAD to go to his lovely rooftop fundraiser where My Kid could see some of her PS8 BFFs.
And now we are home. And it’s 8 o’clock. And we are going to make dinner from scratch!
