My day/week in pictures

Kalie suggested I show what a typical day/week looks like for me in pictures. Since my days are always different it's hard to show a "typical" one but I tried my best. My weekdays consist mostly of work and snuggling with Luna. So here you go...

I could not show the forms I am always filling out or the doctors offices I am in but I think you'll get the gist ;)

Gooooooood morning Mom! Wake up! Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom! Wake up, Mom! Feed me, Mom! Let's go on a walk, Mom!
Some mornings Luna and I go on a run. These are my favorite pants and jacket ever. I would wear them everyday if that wasn't totally weird.

Hard to get a good running shot.

And since it's cold in our house most days I try to keep Luna warm :)
Some mornings we have dance parties...
She always wants to play!
Then I get ready... (I cheated and put on my concealer and foundation so I didn't look like death)


This product saves me every day. I could sell it.
Makeup.
My old person pill organizer.
What to wear... what to wear...
Some days I wear scrubs.
 Most days I dress up. If I like my outfit I take a picture so I have options to choose from when I get stuck.
I go downstairs and get myself organized. Luna helps.
I get in Trunk. (The pic was taken when our trees were being trimmed)
 I load up on Starbucks for my accounts. I live on these. I pretend they're not energy drinks. Please no one tell me they are. 
 Many mornings I have presentations on how to use our products or selling my urine drug testing service...
 I get lame/sometimes hilarious pee jokes sent to me all day by my coworkers
We also take motivational photos and send them to each other. We are in the North West region "NW" 
 I work out of my car all day so it becomes quite a train wreck. I have to clean it daily.
Sorry the pic is sideways.
 I take random pictures in the elevator? Not usually.
 I pop into grocery stores/cake shops/Starbucks to get treats for customers.
 I hold my breath when I walk across this client's walkway since I always think my heals are going to get stuck in between the planks. This cannot be up to code. 
 Drive drive drive...
Occasional dance party... ok this happens way too often.
 
Making appointments with offices...
 Did I mention I bring Starbucks?? A LOT of Starbucks sometimes?? (This is HALF.)
Drive drive drive...

HOME!
 
Sometimes we eat quick meals
Some days we get a little fancy...

 Luna always thinks we're boring at night. Must. Sit. Must. Do. Emails. Must. Watch. T.V.

 They wait for me as I get ready for bed- which Jeremy will tell me nightly is the longest process of life.  And they always fall asleep just like this.


There's a typical day for ya :)

With love from Roseville,

A taste of Nov 3

I've been a bad blogger. A real bad blogger! I think this is the first time since I started my blog in October 2007 that I went a whole month without a post.

Well I've gotten many texts from Kalie... both encouraging me to blog, giving me ideas on what to do, and telling me it must happen today. ;) So here you all are.

We got a new fancy camera, a Canon Rebel, and we are just figuring it out. Jeremy has taken photo classes and is really great at taking pictures and editing them. I say this because all of the pictures today were edited by me so don't judge him if I made his great pictures look terrible.

Note: I just uploaded all of my edited pictures (which took forever) and not one of the edits were saved so I no longer care. lol

This week has been filled with a lot of family time. My Grandma Dean is here for a week from South Dakota so every night someone has hosted something revolving around food and kids and dessert and we've had some great quality time.

In between family breakfast and a smaller family dinner, we cleaned our home, decorated for Christmas*, and had a break in the backyard. Here are some shots we took on this beautiful, 75 degree day. (Which, if you're unfamiliar with Sacramento's weather, is unseasonably warm!)

*Dear people who have a problem with this: I couldn't care less! Thank you.

You can click on each picture to make it giant, if you'd like.

Back porch:
 All of our trees are starting to turn light green!! Such fun colors.
 Looking at our house from below.
 We let Luna out to explore. This ended in her rolling in poop.
 I'm a little obsessed with my rain boots. And a little afraid there will be a snake in the tall grass, let's be honest.
 I may or may not have about 100 other pictures that look like this, or a much blurrier version of it.
 Luna swimming in the creek that's gotten much fuller since we had rain a week ago. Crazy that this will rise at least 8 feet this winter.
 Surveying the land.
 My handsome man!!!!!
 Drying Luna off after her bath because she rolled in turkey poop.
It's Christmas time!
Putting the tree together while I supervise...

 My favorite part: decorating!
 Evie and Chet LOVED playing "Find the Pickle"- from Elli last year. I had them play first and then they ushered in everyone else one by one to find the pickle. Evie did well not pointing it out but Chet would stand right next to it and point and say, "DO YOU SEE THE PICKLE?!?" :)

 Oh Christmas tree...
 Costco oraments, how I love you so!
I mixed silver/white ornaments with gold ones from Barb and our homemade ones.
Barbie gave me her gold ornaments from the tree I grew up spending Christmas around!! It's so special to have them on my tree. I remember being in awe of hers growing up and I'm so glad to have our tree be full of such memories.
 Oh Luna, I love you.
P.S. I can't WAIT to find a white or gold or silver skirt and matching stockings! If you see one that's a good price let me know.
 Seriously this place is home. I love it here.

With love from Roseville,
