So...apparently my day-in-the-life-for-a-month idea didn't quite materialize. I think it's because my days are busy...but sometimes a bit routine, nothing {seemingly} to report. I'll keep looking for the everyday interesting, though.
Meanwhile, I was reading my college friend Anna's blog the other day and was amazed at everything she manages to cram in a day (with three little ones in tow), so I thought I'd pass along a sketch of what is crammed into my typical day.
Up by 6 a.m., coffee, time with God, quick check of Twitter and Facebook, then get ready and leave for work...oh, after walking Fred and fixing Jason's breakfast and both our lunches. Workworkworkworkwork...8-5...with an hour break for lunch (we usually hang out on campus unless we have what I call soul-killing errands to run during the lunch hour). After work, work out, then home for walking Fred again (Jason's turn!), fixing dinner and usually watching a TV show while we eat (we're into the 5th season of House right now). By the time that's done and cleaned up, it's around 7. Theoretically, two hours of "free" time before showering and heading to bed. I'd like to say that I read, scrapbook, write a novel or do something equally worthwhile, but oftentimes I end up watching a movie or, all too often, dozing off on the couch. Before 8 p.m.! Because, apparently, I am 80.
But that's my M-F. Right now, I kinda like it. Although I do wish I were more productive in the evening hours.
And here are a couple of pictures of Fred in his Halloween costume. Oh, I did do that during my free time. That's semi-worthwhile. :)
Hope everyone has a great weekend ahead!

love that Haloween costume. We dressed our dogs in Alabama gear, which isn't that different than any normal Saturday but this time we could say it was for Haloween!
Tiffany, don't be too impressed! :) Believe me, it took quite a while for me to get to this point (my most recent post might dealing w/ OCDness might shed some light on this). In fact, I was just thinking yesterday about how different I am now than when I had my first. I guess you learn to adjust. It's a strange form of evolution--you gotta learn to survive. It's a good thing that "all things are possible with God" (Mark 10:27). And you are doing by far the most important thing to start your day: spending time w/Him. Also, you are working, girl friend!!! That requires a lot of mental energy. Way to go.
