A few folks have asked how my life has changed now that I’m working for myself and I thought ADMIL post would be a great way to show what my days are like now. Things have certainly changed from the last time I did a weekday ADMIL post. Admittedly, this particular day was a little unusual because it was my weekly errands day, but it still gives you an idea of what life without a job is like for me. So here is my Thursday, February 28, 2013.
Wakeup.
Facebook, Twitter, email, Instagram…in bed.
Up! Bathroom, take out mouthguard (classy), brush teeth.
Morning chores: feed the animals…

Grab just a few things I couldn’t find at the regular store.
Walk across the street. Hello, lover.
So. Much. Pretty.
Manage to grab everything I need for a set of shower invitations I’m working on. Score!
Done in Louisville. Time to head home.
Eat a hard-boiled egg while driving. Don’t try this at home. I’m a professional hard-boiled egg eater.

Hiya, hotstuff. Let’s go home!
Home.
Jammie time.
Leftovers for dinner.
Downstairs to watch The Americans (so good!) with dinner.
Once The Americans is over, start working on those invitations…
…while watching the Blackhawks.
Two periods go by, and I’m still lining envelopes.
Finally done with the envelopes. Woohoo!
Decide it’s time to relax. Grab my computer, recline on the couch. Write some more.
Finish that post. Start working on this one.
Lots of photo editing in this one.
Computer is about dead. No interest in getting my cord. Must mean it’s time to really relax.
Computer closed. Watch the last few minutes of the game…
…while giving lots of love to this fluffyface…
…and this fuzzy little kitty.
Hawks win! It’s a good time to be a Chicago Blackhawks fan.
I’m exhausted. Bedtime.
Bathroom, brush teeth, mouthguard in.
Hello my comfy, comfy friend.
Good night!
ADIML post for me is easy:
Work
Gym
Make Dinner
Eat Dinner
Play Some Guitar
Check Facebook
Read
Bed
Repeat.
Wow! You look gorgeous!
Agreed!
I love these posts. My comments:
A) You still get up SO early! I’m impressed and scared.
B) We just got a Paper Source nearby (well, there are a few of them around DC, but now there’s one like, super close) and it is THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING EVER. AUUUUGH ALL THE MONIES.
<3
I’m SUCH a morning person. As soon as the sun starts to poke through, I’m like “YUP, LET’S GO!”
What kind of dog do you have? He/She is adorable. I’m trying to figure out what breed in my mind but I’m rather stumped.
She’s a terrier mutt. 🙂
LOVE this post!! I need to do one of these.
I should not have read this. Now, I know that there’s a Paper Source in Louisville. Must. Not. Google. Address.
Also, so proud of you making notes to keep your receipts like a good little entrepreneur. 🙂
Very pretty hair! And such a cute puppy and kitty 🙂
Great post! Your outfit is too cute!
Just had to comment and tell you how terrific you look! the bangs really suit you. Also-LOVE the headboard!
Wow, looks like like an awesome day!! So jealous of that photography set up! You’re brave going into Paper Source, that place is a black hole for me 🙂 Thanks for the RT today!
I am a new reader and didnt realize you were so close to Louisville. That’s where I live! Nice to ‘meet’ ya, neighbor 🙂
Cute post! I love that kitten!!!!!!
Holy crap you have gorgeous hair, lady.
Do you feed kittyface Blue Buffalo? The kibble looks the same as what I feed mine. What do you do for wet food?
We sure do! Blue Buffalo kitten food. And we don’t give her wet food. 🙂
your hair’s so pretty! Can I ask what you use to style it? (flat iron, curling iron? products?) 🙂
Hahaha, my hair routine is kinda embarrassingly simple. I wash with baking soda and condition with apple cider vinegar. Then I let it air dry until it’s almost completely dry, and then I twist it into a bun and let it dry the rest of the way in the bun to get my waves. I do use a flat iron on my bangs. No products other than the occasional tiny bit of coconut oil if my hair is feeling dry and sometimes an egg and lemon juice wash if I start to see any split ends.
Looking good Cassie! The bangs suit you so well, it completely changes the look of you somehow, you’re even prettier than before 🙂
Have you tried keeping your water bottle (or glass) next to your bed overnight? I do that, and then have a nice, room-temperatured drink when I wake up. Of course, I don’t know how this will work if your bedroom is pretty cold… 🙂
Whoops, meant to post that to accountability update.
Love this post!
I love day in the life posts… it’s so interesting to see what other people do with their days. Did you set your alarm for that time or did you just get up?? That’s so early! I work from home two days a week now, and I don’t think I’ll ever have enough willpower to start my day that early. But good for you for being so productive! Overall, it really seems like you got so much done, especially blogging-wise.
Love this. Must do my own!
Girl, your hair looks gorg.
Just wanted to post that your hair looks so cute. It suits you so well. 😀
I do not believe your hair looks that good when you wake up. (Do not believe = is extremely jealous of)
PS Do you ever sing “Back Home Again in Indiana” when you cross the border into? I am so guilty. It’s a little awkward when you’re with other people…or riding a Greyhound bus.
