Things are looking up!

Lovelies - I was just workin' my buns off today for the Lady of the House!  I am pooped & I've barely left my desk!  (LOTS of e-mails, phone calls, orders, faxes and of course, appointments.) 

I love my job, but it kills me when her 2 year old son, who we'll call Henny Penny, comes and BEGS me to play with him and I can't because I'm swamped with work!  (because let's be honest here - wouldn't you rather play with the cool 26 year old nanny who sings the Guys & Dolls vocal selections to you?  Or would you rather be in the company of an aging Chinese woman who is not really that into making up games, singing songs, etc?)

Let's face it people -I'm Mary Poppins...  The cooler of the two nannies, fo' sho'.  

Later this summer I'll be able to join the family at their Hampton's home and then I'll get to play all day on the beach with him & not have to worry about the leg waxing appointment for Lady of the House at J. Sisters or the Friends of the High line Benefit RSVP (which is a great organization you should all donate to!)  Count down 20 days to Hampton's Heaven!  

Something fun that happened today was I got an e-mail for an INVITED AUDITION!!!  It's for the Ordway Center for the Arts in St. Paul MINNE-FREAKIN-SOTA!!!  That means I'd get to go home, lovers.  Home sweet home...  (I'd click my heels three times & wish real hard, if my Mella sandals weren't in danger of falling off...)

Oh, Ordway!  How pleased am I that you called ME for the upcoming production of Yankee Doodle!  (they need a strong tapper -so I'm hauling my ass to tap class on Saturday!  I took for 18 years, but I'm freaked out a little by these dance audition things...)  But overall - it's a nice little feather in my cap!  A spring in my step! A notch in my belt! Ok.... I'm stopping now.

Tours, Texts & E-mails - Oh, my!

Lovelies,  today has been pretty uneventful so far...  Woke up late (uugh- that's $$ that I'll be missin' out on -- I get paid hourly, so when I don't work the cash doesn't come in!)  

BUT I did go on a tour today with the Urban Mothers Group - we went to the Whitney Museum and saw the biennial exhibit.  It's mainly of new emerging artists - very interesting stuff!  (mainly sculpture and video art, but overall was great!)  And our tour guide told us the stories behind the works of art & of how their makers chose (or didn't choose in some cases) to present the final product.  

Some of it was TOTALLY beyond my grasp, but the guide was very good at making what could be seen as just another exposed large photograph or just a pile of colored bees wax into a work of art -- I love that I get to call myself an artist, too!  It's fun for me to breathe life into a song or text.  (Speaking of fun - I still have to do my homework for the Musical Theatre Class I'm taking tonight!  I love me some Boyle, it's true -he's the guru for Musical Theatre lovin' folk here in NYC.  

So that brings me to work... where I'm at right now - calling Manhattan Mini Storage and waiting for a text from Cute Upper East Side Guy...  

Lovelies, did I do the right thing to send him a reminder text?  He hadn't called me, but told me on Friday night what a great time he had & that he would like to take me out again sometime.  But then never called.  So today - because I need closure - sent him a text & here's how things are playing out...

Miss M: Cute Guy!  Really enjoyed meeting you last week.  Thanks again for the great evening!  All the best - Miss Musical

And he responded:

CG: Hey there you are.  I had fun as well.  How's your day going...

Miss M: Great!  Just wrapped up a museum tour - was really interesting!  How's your day going?

CG: Not too bad.  Mad Busy with work though - sucks.  Want to be outside.  What museum?

Miss M: The Whitney.   Lots of Sculptures & Video Art!  Bummer that work is busy for you... Hope it gets better!  :)

And I haven't back from him yet.  (Mind you this is all of 15 minutes ago - so now I've laid the groundwork.  I texted.  I let him know I was still alive.  Now it's his turn to make the move...  

...or perhaps I've just got to face the fact that I was the first to get in touch and that usually means - what ladies?!  Say it with me:

He's Just Not that Into You!

I hate when that fucking book is right...  and it happens so many more times than not.  

On an up-note I'm drinking a lovely diet Coke right now - which can put a smile on my face at any time!  (I'm so easy to please... give me a diet Coke and a sunny day & I'm a happy girl!)
