im a 5ft (still debatable), twenty-something geek who loves Jesus and likes taking pictures of the food i eat & the people i love. i make a living typing on a computer keyboard, selling polyresin gnomes and joke telling on the side.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Besides laying on the beach yesterday and eating mini tacos…I also picked up some kitchen goodies from Costco & Bed Bath & Beyond. Now my silverware matches my plates. :)
Lunch: Ahi poke mini tacos & Fish and chips. So good…and cute lol.
My morning project! It’s funny how it’s a lot easier for me to wake up to work when I know I’m working from home and not the office.
One more hour before I have a conference call with a chain store that has over 74 locations. Crossing my fingers and praying that it will go amazing…
Taking a break to show you the finished product of the marketing email for my “chocolate” client. Thanks to Cheryl Sannes for providing me with chocolate while I designed :)
I am so tired. My eyelids feel like they weigh 20 pounds each, but I finally got half of our brochure done today. I’m hoping to finish it off today because I promised my boss it would be done by tomorrow. I’m going to have to stop by and get some caffeine injections on the way home because I have another long night of freelance ahead of me.
On a good note, BJ bought me Hawaiian BBQ and stayed and ate here while we talked about important topics like Teen Mom 2. And yes, that is a picture of my food when I was done eating…and about to pass it onto Matt who opted not to get any because he knew I would have leftovers.
4 hours and counting…
End of the day.
10 more minutes until I get to head home. Today was filled with tea drinking, interviews and designing. I’m exhausted and not sure how I can squeeze another 3-4 hours of work when I get home (especially with 6a.m. boot camp tomorrow)—but it has to be done. I’m slowly crossing things off on my to-do list and it feels good.
I was a little stressed out today about a few things and it never fails that God shows me in little ways that He has my life in his hands. No matter how big I think my mountain is…God is always bigger. :)
It’s morning like these that I feel like I can do anything. I had a full plate of work when I got home last night and I was able to get it all done, invoice, go to boot camp this morning, get ready for work, wash the dishes and put them away and still have time to sit down to eat a bowl of cereal and write this.
Now time for 10 hours of polyresin bliss and then hopefully tonight I can finish up the rest of my side work that has been pushed on the back burner.
P.S. I finally got placemats for my dining table. :)
Monday Check-In
Obsessing Over: Home Office Work Space. I would love, love a desk area in my apartment. I don’t really have any space for one because I don’t want it to be in my bedroom, but my productivity level at home is suffering.
Thinking About: How much freelance work and opportunities are coming to me these days….which is why I need some desk space. Honestly, I need to stop being a lazy bum.
Anticipating: Friday. I love my 3 day weekends.
Drinking: I’m looking forward to trying these new tea samples from Sami. Ging and I were talking about all the things I said I hated, but now I like (i.e. Beans, Raw Sushi, Water with Lemon, Regular Coffee)…I think Tea is the next thing. I really loved the tea that I had at Judy’s house so hopefully these will be winners too.
Listening to: Band of Horses and a little Postal Service. One of the warehouse guys burned me a CD with over 400+ songs and I’m actually enjoying it. Sadly, he doesn’t work here anymore.
Wishing: It was 6p.m. I have a bag of circus animal cookies just waiting for me to eat them at home.
