Jan. 3rd
Just a little parcel that made it's way to us.
We threw it away... immediately... after a little role play :)

Jan. 2nd
"Il Mulino?" "Maialino?" "Who's cake is that?" "That's for Stanley?" "He's my girlfriend's boyfriend." "Are you heading to the Gramercy Park Hotel?" "Whatever."
Stay away from prescription pills people!

New Years Day 2015
Hello 2015!! Inspired by a video created by a director I worked with previously this year, I'm going to try to document this whole year, one photo at a time. This and watching one "Friends" episode each day are my resolutions.
Jan. 1st: I woke up this morning and decided to freeze my little Texas butt off and go to the park to shoot around using a borrowed ball from one of my co-workers-- that I've had for about 7 months :) Amazing to get back to something so familiar and so removed from my present reality.

Melty Chocolate Chip Cookies
A mound of melty, chocolatey-chip goodness saved the day!
After a good tongue-lashing from some guests this afternoon, the day was looking pretty grim. It irks me to no end when the day after Thanksgiving, I'm screamed at for a room not being prepared for some guests when they arrive. Not even able to defend myself, I have to politely smile and resist the urge to hold up a mirror to let them see how they are behaving!
Alas, we cannot. I will store that away in some memory bank to use at a later date for a character... maybe. Hopefully. Lord knows I've got tons of material to play an irrational, entitled human being.
Back to the cookies... some guests who have been regulars for as long as I've worked here, brought us some chocolate chip cookies from Marc Forgione... and they were still warm! It's more the gesture than the cookie that made my day!

FlyWheel Challenge
On a steamy, sweaty summer sunset evening, I sauntered up the street to visit a place I'd never been before. Little did I know my life would change forever...
Sounds like a romance novel, no? Anyway, FlyWheel has become such a unique source of joy that I never anticipated. This summer I decided to do my concierge duties and research exercise options in the neighborhood for our guests at The Greenwich Hotel.
If you recall, I broke my foot in February in such a way that I needed a plate & 5 screws to repair the bone. Go big or go home, right?! This was two weeks before opening Cupid & Psyche, a play that I loved with my whole heart and I was a title character, so not exactly replaceable at that point. I've said it before but it's amazing what can be accomplished when "no" is not an option. The play was performed in a walking boot--we just added a line & the audience forgot about it!
The day after we closed, surgery happened then my world became very very simple. Get to work. Get home. The end. NYC on crutches is not something I wish on my worst enemy! Very humbling. Needless to say, my arms got strong and my waist got squishy. Crutches turned into walking boot, walking boot turned into gimpy walk, gimpy walk turned into a sassy saunter :) But to this day I have yet to go for a run, which used to be my meditation, my escape, my freedom. I'd plug into my music and let the rest go. I missed that so so much!
Kait, the TriBeCa studio manager, brilliantly offered us at The Greenwich classes so we could share our experience with our guests. Smart lady. Well, I got hooked immediately, even took a couple 5:30am classes with Lindsey before my 7:00am shifts and I do NOT consider myself a morning person!
When I saw the FlyWheel Instructor audition on Playbill's casting page, I wanted to attend so much but I feared my foot wouldn't be able to handle that much spinning. When the FlyWheel Challenge was announced, I saved all my pennies and decided to find out if I could push my body like I used to and if my foot would come along. Ecstatic to say not only is my foot flying fine, but it's helped me release the mental limitations I had placed on myself since the injury.
My body is my instrument. FlyWheel helped me remember how to play notes I'd forgotten.
