Blog Cribs Presents "The Schulte/Froelich Residence"

I know I have been slacking this week with the blogging and I don't even have a very good excuse. Rehearsing all day, getting sick on top of that and having a house guest just seem to have gotten in the way but here I am! What better way to make a triumphant return than to have another chapter in the "Blog Superstar Storybook Series" (it's seriously, like, almost as popular as Harry Potter.)

Tonight after a long week of being sick and working in between time on the couch, my friends and I staged a Montana Nutcracker Reunion at Adrienne's house. My friend Gillian is in town and I always feel the pressure of having to show a houseguest a good time. Unfortunately with so much work this week I haven't really been able to show her "my" New York as I would like to. We all have our little spots that we frequent but she has seen none of them so far except the Chipotle across the street from my house (and I do frequent it, they started giving me free food at one point last year....SAD and amazing.) Tonight we ventured downtown to the pristine world of Adrienne and her husband John for an evening of drinks and lasagna and debauchery. Every once in a while I enjoy a dinner party like this where it sinks in that I am living in the city on my own, and I'm not just playing house in my basement as a child. I feel strange admitting that, since I have lived here for over three years, but I still experience those wake up calls. Moments like this come rarely but when they do it's a little surreal to soak it all in. Maybe it's the new year or the cold going to my head, but something about the past few days has made me feel fortunate for my friends and all that I am able to experience. Okay, now I am just rambling and I promise to have more entertaining blogging in the near future.

Here is a little peek into their crazy life in a story I call "John the Malevolent Love Bug."


(Arriving at the apartment, life was all smiles and rainbows...or at least in the mind of Blog superstar Adrienne. Her husband thought otherwise. Jealous of her fame he vowed to hold their dog Thor ransom until she shared the wealth.)

(Blaine cackled with satisfaction. Finally he would have a chance to get back at Adrienne for cheating on him with John after their romantic "Sugarplum" Nutcracker performance.)

("Come on boys! Don't mess with me or I'll beat you with my aluminum alien stick.")

(Just then an alien erupted from Jackie's abdominal wall....what timing!)

(Adrienne ran to Gillian for support in this tumultuous time. What's a girl to do when her husband abducts her dog and there are aliens in her house? Gillian advised her to gather the strength to kick these demons down.)

(Looking over to a portrait of her man she sighed and cried over the fact that her husband was supposed to protect her, not abduct their dog. The only thing to do is get even!)

(With a swift karate kick.....)

(She shattered a glass in John's face which was just what he needed to wake up from his malicious ways.....or at least momentarily.)

(Thor was set free and they lived happily ever after!)

(Or did they? As they left John was already plotting his next attack!)

So that concludes the lamest blog story ever! It's been a slow week folks.
