A Peek At My Day!

Good morning!

Back in January I had posted A Peek Into My Work Day! and I have been thinking a lot about how dramatically things have changed from then to now, so I thought I would share a new peek at my day posting!!!

My day started out pretty typically for my new life, post J-O-B:

Alarm went off at 5:30, and we didn’t drag our not-getting-near-enough-sleep bodies out of bed!! πŸ˜‰

Get dressed and make the bed. Run down and make breakfast for both of us, and pack my sweetie’sΒ lunch, and get him out the door so he is not late for work!

I had a scrambled egg with some leftover peppers and onions from dinner last night, for breakfast! So yummy!! I didn’t think to take a pic of that! πŸ™‚

I then headed over to my new gym that I have just recently gotten a membership to (this was my first visit!!). I worked out for an hour, and was pleasantly surprised just how much sweating was actually going on (me, not the other patrons – EW!!)!! πŸ™‚

A happy, but sweaty girl, post workout!

Next, I was on such a runner’s high, and motivated for my new fitness plan, that I zipped over to the grocery store to pick up a plethora of fresh vegetables to stock up my snacking choices!! Then went home and spent the next hour chopping, cleaning, peeling, and preparing all of the different kinds of veggies for immediate consumption for whenever I wanted!!

All ready for consumption!

I had picked up cucumbers, carrots, celery, red, yellow, and orange bell peppers, green beans, brussels sprouts, broccoli, and sugarΒ snap peas!!!

By then I was getting hungry again, and made myself one of my daily protein smoothies!! YUMMY!! πŸ™‚

Protein smoothie of champions!! :-)

By then it was 10:30.

I then headed upstairs to take a shower, finally, and then get dressed and do my hair! (That feels SO MUCH BETTER!!)

Next came some household chores: laundry, dishes, bagging up garbage, and sweeping the floors!

So, that brings me to here! Where I am at this very moment. Writing to you lovely people!! πŸ™‚

Next things on the agendaΒ (if I had an agenda) are:

  • Reserve camping spot for this weekend
  • Sign my sweetie up for the gym
  • Pay some bills
  • Bake some kale chips
  • Bathe our dogs – we are combatting fleas – UGH!!
  • Soul Work Β – I can explain that in another post if you are interested
  • Lunch, which will be a beautiful spinach, tomato, and steak salad with a balsamic vinaigrette, but will probably be around 2 or 3, since I am still working on my smoothie and it is already 12:00!
  • Arting
  • and then maybe I will do some reading this afternoon/evening, while my girls sleep lying next to me on the couch, before I start on making dinner for my sweetie and I, which will be around 7:30-8!!! We are having baked stuffed bell peppers – a fan favorite around here!! πŸ™‚

Isn’t that such a HUGE change from where I was just 7 months ago???

I can honestly say I am so much healthier, less stressed, and all around happier!!

Life is VERY good!!

Here is to a FABULOUS day!! πŸ™‚

Hmmmm…

Good evening!

Ok, so my mind is racing and I am stumped as to what to talk about at the same time! πŸ˜‰

So, let me start, by telling you about my day…

I got up, super early for some unexplained reason, wrote my morning pages for about an hour (which felt pretty dang good, if I am being honest), got ready for work, went to work, and then got off work, and came home. Ok, so that wasn’t too terribly exciting!

What else?

Well, it is a cold, rainy, and blustery day outside, which I ABSOLUTELY LOVE being an Oregonian, by birth, so as soon as I got home, I slipped out of my work clothes and slipped into my hubby’s GINORMOUS bathrobe!!! SINFULLY DELICIOUS!!!

I am planning on spending my evening reading some more of the new Rick Riordan book, The Son of Neptune. My sweetie and I are both reading it at the same time, and he has more time to read than I do. What that means is that if I don’t hurry and catch up to him, he will finish reading the whole book and be off to another one before we even get a chance to speak about what happened! So, I am DETERMINED to catch up!! πŸ˜‰

What else? Oh yeah! I had an idea yesterday that I could sell most of my belongings, put the rest in storage and RV around the US for the next year. I thought it was a fantasy brought on by a stressful worklife. Well, when I casually mentioned it to Jason last evening, he TOTALLY LOVED the idea, and now I can’t seem to stop thinking about it. I want to look for RV’s, figure out how much storage will cost for at least a year, etc., etc., etc.! Ok, so I am sure that it may be a fleeting-random-thought!! but just in case, I may have to go check out some RV sales!! πŸ˜‰

Ok, so you were totally forwarned that my thoughts were racing.

Dinner tonight doesn’t help! I started dinner with some string cheese, and some carrots. Then about 20 minutes later I had some tator tots. Now I am waiting for our chicken to be finished, whenever that is gonna happen!!

Sheesh! It is a rather a-typical night around our residence, if I must say so myself!

Anyway, I am going to close up shop here and get some reading done!!

Have a FABULOUS evening! ;-)

A Husband & His Brownie Points!

Good evening!

On my way home from work this evening, my sweetie texted me to let him know when I got home. When I got here I texted:

“I am here”

“OK, Baby, go straight to your favorite seat in the living room, and sit down.” I read.

“ok.” I replied. “why???”

No response. “Hmmm…”

I got into the house, dropped my things off in their respective homes, let the dogs into the living room, and then headed over to my favorite living room seat, and what did I see???

A beautifully wrapped package!! What a NICE surprise!!! Inside was a lovely box of French chocolate mint truffles – my FAVORITE!!! The movie Tangled, which is something that I am VERY EXCITED to watch!! and the SWEETEST card!! Talk about a man making BROWNIE POINTS!!!

Then he walked in with his arms full of groceries, which means he took care of that HUGE chore without any prompting from me, and then proceeded to give me another item to go with my gift!! The newest InStyle magazine!! YEAH!!! He knows the way to this girl’s heart!!! When I asked him what the reason for all of this goodness was, he simply replied,

“You needed to know you’re worth it!”

AAAAAAH!! WHAT A MAN!!! πŸ˜‰

I love you so much, Baby-Jay!! I can’t wait to spend some time this evening hanging out with you, having fun, being silly, and have a blast laughing!! YOU ARE MY WORLD!!!

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE YOU!!!

Have a FABULOUS evening!!! πŸ˜‰
