C'mon people. ALL TOGETHER NOW!

So. Since no one else that we have invited to write in the blog *CoughBeccaNoraNicoleKeithCough* has decided it is worth their precious time or precious energy to make a post about their life, I have decided to BORE you all into action by updating you on how all of my new vows are going.

For example, here is a list of what I did that was (1) productive and (2) creative every day since I made the initial post about it, which was exactly one week ago.

Thursday, Jan 20: I made dinner with Laura which is both productive AND creative. I also went with Laura to "TV night" with her Law School friends, at her friend Chris's apartment, therefore making an effort to make more friends. I also wore real clothes to said event, taking care of that self-made promise.

Friday, Jan 21: Had the stomach flu Thursday night...so...I vomited all night into the morning...which was neither productive nor creative, but hey, I HAD THE FRICKEN STOMACH FLU OK? ... I also did not wear clothes this day. So. what.

I productively and creatively slept.

Saturday, Jan 22: I was still recovering. BUT I found time to go to the nearest Mall - Beachwood Place [which, by the way, is ridiculously high-end. All designer stores and such. Good thing, or I would go there more often and spend invisible money that I don't have.] - and fill out an application for Victoria's Secret, because I am probably transferring there [productive], and I got dressed up [creative?] and went to a party hosted by Verb's board president.

The party was awesome. It was at this nice house in a nice area, it was catered, and there was a real valet service at the door to park our cars because it was literally a blizzard outside.

Did I mention there was a valet service?

Too bad my stomach still hurt and I couldn't really eat any of the fancy shmancy food... :/

I also cleaned my apartment a bit, because Stephanie was coming over. She went to the mall and the party with me. OoOoO and THAT counts as making a bigger effort to be friends with Verb people. Booya.

Sunday, Jan 23: I spent all day (a) cleaning my room, bathroom...anywhere that I was sick and left things lying about. (b) learning the parts of Bolero I missed in rehearsal on Friday off a Verb video (c) figuring out how to install and work my new external disc drive [because my internal disc drive is broken.] and (d) planning out the two classes I sometimes teach on Mondays, including music.

A word about this: the first class I teach on Mondays is teen contemporary ballet, so I start with a ballet barre. But I realized on Sunday that I did not have ballet class music...so I decided to be awesome and creative and pick out non-classical songs from my itunes that are the right tempos for the different barre combinations. I used music by Andrew Bird, Cake, Regina Spektor, Muse, and Kings of Leon, to name a few.

The music was, of course, underappreciated by the teenage punks I was teaching. They were like, ooo who is cakkee? Isn't that like, a food?

And I was like DO PUSHUPS BECAUSE YOUR MUSICAL TASTE IS AWFUL.

True story.

Monday, Jan 24: I taught from 6:30-9:30, as previously discussed. Then I came home and skyped with my man for a second, and then I probably watched some Dexter. And went to bed. And I didn't wear real clothes for one second of it. But rules do not apply, because I worked all night. [But teaching dance is still pretty productive and creative, I'd say.]

Tuesday, Jan 25: I went to Wing Night with Laura and her law school buds at The Winking Lizard. [No, seriously, the lizard winks.] I ate 10 delicious wings, and only paid $3.77 after tax. That is totally productive. And I think I also put pictures on my computer from my camera; oh so creative.

Wednesday, Jan 26: Today, I did so many productive things! You will be so proud of me. As soon as I got home from rehearsal, I put all my laundry in the washing machines conveniently located down the outdoor back steps [*_*].

Then, while the clothes were a-washin, I made small note cards out of paper and copied ingredients down for different recipes I want to try [all in Laura's handy dandy Betty Crocker Cooking Basics Cookbook] so that next time I go to Whole Foods to spend some me time and pick up some groceries, I can just grab one or two of these ingredient cards and buy the fixins to make some yum yums! Genius.

Also, I showered. [Necessary? Yes. Productive? ALSO YES.] Then, I got dressed.

In real clothes.

Because I next took a little Winter stroll down Coventry and hung two Verb promotional posters for our upcoming show on February 11th at the Breen Center in Cleveland; one poster at the coffee shop around the corner [Phoenix Coffee] and one at this amazing restaurant Tommy's, which, incidentally, has the best best best milkshakes on the planet.

[My own creation: house-made natural Peanut Butter and Black Raspberry chip yogurt milkshake. Inspired by Harry Potter. Serious YUM.]

But wait, there's more!

I stopped at this fabulous record store on my walk home, and bought four reproduced vintage posters.

Bad Kara!

BUT only one is for me! [Bob Marley and George Harrison concert poster. I couldn't resist. It's George Harrison. And Bob Marley. It is taking up the remaining 1 square foot of wall space left in my VERY colorful, decorated room. I have no idea what will happen when I buy more. They will just have to go in the kitchen.] Two of the posters are birthday presents, one is a present for my dad. Because he's awesome, and because he loves zombies.

When I got home I watched a fabulous episode of a fabulous show, Psyche, with my fabulous roommate, while editing many fabulous pictures from a fabulous Holiday season [creative]. And then I skyped with my fabulous boyfriend on my fabulous computer.

And NOW, ladies and gentlemen, I am posting on this fabulous blog.

Which brings me to the point of this whole bit of shenanegans: if you don't want to be annoyed by my next rambling post about productive and creative enterprises in Cleveland, then you all-and you know who you are-had better get your asses in gear and follow suit in the blog-posting department.

That is all.
