Well hello there world. You may or may have not noticed that we suck at blogging. Both of us have trouble remembering to eat on a regular basis so I don't know why I thought that we would be able to blog on a regular basis. Ridiculous. But I have an idea...a plan. It's sort of lame, but will help us when we don't have anything to write about. Which in all honesty we don't. But first, here is a quick recap of the past two months.
We moved to a bigger apartment. It's a lot bigger, about a block away from the old place. There is no mold or bugs or creepy neighbors that ask to borrow my cell phone so that he can call his therapist because he is having a suicidal episode. (yeah, that happened)
It's now hot. It was cold for a really long time. Now it's hot.
I opened and closed a show. Cool. It got some good reviews and some bad reviews. Meh, not so cool.
Diana is now rehearsing for an understudy role for a theatre that I can't remember the name of, for a show I can't remember the name of, by a playwright that I can't remember the name of. I do remember that her director is British and the play is British and that if she performs, she get's to speak British. That's right...the language.
Winston got a haircut but now is fluffy again. There really is no change.
Yeah, so there is a recap. See what I mean...we work, we sleep, we work, we sleep. Not a whole lot going on at this point, and yet somehow we don't have any free time.
Now onto my plan. Diana said she doesn't know what to blog about...so while I was pinteresting...I came across a blog that asked totally random but sorta fun questions. The girl answered all the questions on her blog and I thought, "Hey, we could do that. We can answer questions. We can make lists." So below are the questions...and the blog posts of answers are to come. All you have to do is click our name for the answers. BTW, Diana doesn't know about this plan. I didn't talk about with her and she hasn't agreed to do this, but I think it will be ok. ;)
I hope you have a wonderful week ahead of you! And there will be lots to read soon...or at least I'm hoping.

List 20 random facts about yourself (Whitney)
Some of these may be well known, but others might not be. It is surprisingly hard to come up with 20 facts that aren't totally lame like "I have brown hair". I tried to be creative and list things that are not so obvious or that might be a discovery for you all. So here we go.
1. I am one of the most indecisive people you will ever meet. I know some of you are thinking, "Mmhhmmm, I know that's right." Part of the problem is that I put a lot of pressure on small decisions, like at the store, what kind of bread should I get? I will stand there for way too long weighing the pros and cons of white vs. wheat, whole grain vs. mixed grain, small sliced vs. large sliced. This is good sandwich bread, but is this good french toast bread??? Then I realize that I don't even make french toast, so just freaking pick a bag of bread already, Whitney!!!! The other problem is on the other end of the spectrum completely; I actually don't care. Ironically I usually feel this way about bigger decisions. Like where to go after grad school...I was sorta like "Hmmmm, where is everyone else going?" But big or small, deciding is hard. If you ask me where I want to eat, my answer will be "not seafood" and from there I honestly DO NOT care. Fastfood, sure. Sit down, fancy restaurant, sure. Chinese, Italian, Mexican, American...I DON'T CARE. And if you make me decide, like some friends do...I will have a panic attack and throw myself into some sort of frenzy over where to grab a bite to eat.
2. As you could have gathered from #1. I don't like seafood...and I'm sort of scared of fish. I really think they are gross...seriously gross. Ew, I could gag just thinking about the ocean. And yet, I may or may have not shed a tear when some of the goldfish in the pond back home died. I have chosen not to become so attached to my parents pond fish from now on.
3. I really like trees. Well, nature in general sorta fascinates me, but I really always try to take a moment and appreciate an amazing tree. Whether it be for it's size, for it's flowers, amazing green leaves, or the small ones that are still trying to get started, I always like them and notice them.
4. I really, really hate social media and I'm sort of scared of where it is taking us (as in the human race). Ironic that I am saying this over a blog right? But that doesn't count...just ignore that little detail. I hate that the only way people keep in touch is through Facebook, twitter and Email. Don't get me wrong, I am more guilty of this stuff than anyone, which is kind of why I hate it. I love being stuck under a rock and never coming out to be social, and then just randomly posting something on Facebook so that my "friends" know I'm alive. But really, we are a pretty arrogant species thinking that we are interesting enough to post our food in some sort of artsy fartsy way online, but that strangers/people aren't interesting enough to look up from our mobile device, whatever it may be, just to smile and say hi. I don't think this really hit me till I moved to the city and I realized nobody has the time of day for each other. So on the rare occasion some stranger does say "hi" to me, I have a quick panic attack and think "Oh my gosh, what am I supposed to do??? What am I supposed to say??? Oh yeah..." After an awkward pause I finally respond with "Hi." Like I said, I am more guilty than most.
5. Fact 5 is that I need to shorten these up :)
6. My favorite color is purple. Not this purple. Not this purple. But THIS purple. Look how decisive that was.
7. I don't ever want to settle down. I want to always keep moving and I don't see myself ever deciding on one place to live for the rest of my life. I will stay in the city for a few more years and then go somewhere else that I haven't lived before. At least that is how I see my life.
8. I like nail polish. I will make sure my nails are painted before putting any make-up on my face. It's important to me. But I have only had one manicure...ever! If my toenails clash with my open toed shoes, I have to change the polish quick or pick a different pair of shoes.
9. My favorite flower is the sunflower. Here you go :)
10. I played the drums in high school Mostly the timpani. Random right?
11. I'm still sorta obsessed with cheerleading and will watch competitions online, and I kinda sorta wanna see Bring it On the Musical on Broadway. (I'm so embarrassed)
12. I could eat fruit all day every day, but have to force myself to eat vegetables. But let's be real, we all know I live on cookies.
13. Speaking of food, I'm getting better at cooking. Well sort of. The crock-pot is my best friend. I just throw stuff in there and then eat it when I get home. Easy. More things have turned out than not. I'm not saying everything tastes amazing, but it's edible...which is really all I'm going for.
14. I get to spend my days with this little one. Right now I am juggling three jobs, one of which is nannying for Evie three days a week. She has completely stolen my heart. But she has also made me realize more than ever, I really do not want kids.
15. I am 5 feet and a 1/2 inch tall. It says 5`1" on my resume. I will never be a Disney princess because the height requirement is 5'4"-5'7" and the cruise lines that I have looked into performing for have a 5'5" requirement. I guess that just means I'm destined for better things.
16. My favorite place that I have ever been is Venice. But I never want to live there, just visit once in a while. I want to live in London...I think it suits me.
17. I’m obsessed with chick flicks and romantic comedies. I'm sort of embarrassed when someone asks what my favorite movie is and the first thing that pops into my head is "Pretty Woman" or "How to Lose a Guy in 10 days". What can I say, they make me happy. And yet...I have a pessimistic view on relationships and love.
18. I'm obsessed with lists and calendars. Right now I have a Google calendar, a planner, and a daily journal of to-do lists and goals. I spend more time making to-do lists, than actually DOING the items on the list.
19. I have a hard time getting rid of stuff. Half of my clothes are still from high school partly because I haven't grown since 6th grade, but also because I get really sentimental about silly things. I will look at a t-shirt and think, "That's the shirt I was wearing during such and such". But the weirdest items that I get attached to are socks. I fall in love with socks. My dad gave me a pink pair with little elephants on them a long time ago...those are my favorite (and I'm slightly paranoid about losing them or wearing them out.)
20. I become addicted to food in a weird way. We can call it a phase if you want. There was the drinking to much milk phase where my parents would buy an extra gallon of milk just for me. There was also a cranberry juice phase and a Gatorade phase. There was a lemon phase where I would put lemons on and in everything. Last summer was my strawberry phase. I would go buy 3lbs of strawberries and eat all of them in one day, pretty much in one sitting, and then get sick because that is just too much sweetness. Right now I'm in my Greek yogurt phase. I can't get enough of it!
There you go. 20 completely useless, random facts about me.
