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.

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!

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!
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.
Just wanted to post that your hair looks so cute. It suits you so well. 😀
Girl, your hair looks gorg.
