A day in my Life

I thought as part of our Blog-iversary celebrations I'd share what a day in my life looks like:

6:30 amLee's up and leaving for work. I've already been up for an hour to make sure I look fully put together, and have a Hot breakfast ready for him before he leaves. I might work out a good bye when Lee gives me a kiss on the forehead before he leaves (he knows it's safer to kiss me on the forehead then deal with all the morning breath I have going on). Then I spread out, I mean way out, I can span a king size bed, and sleep for at least another hour . . . sometimes 2 ;).

8:00 am I tidy the kitchen from the night before. I try to clean up after dinner but Lee usually makes a mess first thing in the morning, and I usually make a mess last thing before I go to bed. I'll fill the dishwasher and turn it on!

8:30 am I check on blog posts. Answer some questions in the comment section. Deal with other blog work. Probably start a blog post or two. I work on Posts while eating something for breakfast usually something small I'm not a big Breakfast eater (yogurt or cereal, probably some fruit).

11:00 am is usually when I walk away from the computer and start on house tasks. What I do seriously depends on what day it is. Check out my Cleaning Schedule for what gets cleaned when. Let's say it's a Tuesday, I would be cleaning the main floor, which includes floors, dusting, vacuuming, putting away items, cleaning the kitchen (inside the fridge, counters, floors, sink).

I'll also tackle any baking projects I'm hoping to make, or if I'm making a dinner that needs to cook for a while I'll prep it Now! 

2:00 pm I'm Starving Now so I'm on the hunt for food. But I also have to take photos for the blog before the light goes away . . . ahhhh. Food Wins. I'll grab something leftover, or I'll throw together a salad, lately I've been really into Romaine lettuce with a Japanese dressing on top, some peppers and cucumber cut up on top! My Dad smokes salmon like it's his purpose in life, so we always have some yummy smoked salmon  around.
If I have to pop out of the house to run errands this is when I do that.

4:00 pm I'm back from errands. Oh Crap I was suppose to take blog photos! Grab the camera . . . fluff the pillows . . . take the shot. Swear at the Camera for not taking the shot right (clearly it's the cameras fault). Re-take shot.

5:00 pm Lee's home by now and we eat dinner. After dinner, Lee will put the dishes in the dishwasher while I make his lunch for the next day. I like to make it now because the knives and cutting boards are already dirty so I'm not making more dishes. If we have leftovers I'll pop those into a container and then my job is done (leftovers rock!).

5:30 pm Dog walking time. Max is getting old so one short walk a day is all the little guy can handle. We like to walk the dog together, it's the only time we're not "plugged in", in some way or another. It's our quiet time, where we talk about the day and plan the rest of the evening.

Project time!!!! We'll work on projects. Lee is a serious busy body and can't stand to stay still for more then 5 minutes so he's ready to start right after dinner. This is when I sew

  or when Lee tackles things that involve math or tools haha. Just general project doing.

8:00 pm I re-open my lap top and start editing the photos I took. I put the finishing touches on the post for tomorrow. I'm also watching some terrible T.V. during this time (not that TV is terrible . . . what I choose to watch is usually terrible haha).
This is also my time to go through blogs and sites . . . or just generally waste a bit of time on the Internet.
~Or~
If I'm looking for something specific on craigslist I'll spend a few minutes rolling around in the furniture section.
Lee will usually be checking his email and work account to make sure nothing catastrophic happened at work . . . or watching a show of his own (Game of Thrones anyone?).

10:30 pm We start saying we should go to bed . . . but we spend another 1/2 hour on the couch.

11:00 pm Bed Time! Lee falls asleep within .12 seconds of his head hitting the pillow. I open my book to read a chapter . . . 6 chapters and 2 hours later I'm still reading. I finally decide I should be responsible and go to bed . . . another 20 pages later I close the book and fall asleep! :) Sweet Dreams!

This is what a Normal Day will look like for us . . . we definitely have variations on this. Some days Lee's able to work from home, some days I go out for the afternoon to hang out with a girlfriend, some days it's raining and Max refuses to leave the house. Once in a blue moon Lee will be working on a HUGE project and ends up working 12 hour days. But on a boring old day . . .this is what we'll be doing! It might sound boring to some people but it's my idea of perfection (especially if you add in a little shopping;).
