Good morning 
Oh how I’ve missed ya’ll!
Thanks for your patience with me this past week! I’ve been swamped. But I’ve been managing it fairly well.
I’ve stayed organized with piles:
(Like my Christmas centerpiece? Yes, Christmas decorations are UP! I might even show you the rest if you want to see them!)
I’ve taken lots of breaks with the kee kees:
(I use our bathtub as a dry clean clothes hamper, and Henry uses it as a bed – so cute)
Pure pleasure for the babies: dump a pile of this on the carpet and let get craze!
And I’ve been eating lots of these:
A part broke on my Breville juicer (NO!) so I’ve been sans juice this week. Oh the horror!
Here’s my sched for today:
- finish cleaning
- workout
- write a report
- read articles for work
- read blogs (dreadfully behind on my bb’s lives!)
- iron
- manicure
- catch up on five episodes of the Hills (!!!)
- eat a lot
Nice plan, right? Have a beautiful day

Gotta give it up for Xmas goodies! It makes the house so festive.
The last thing on your to do list is great. Definitely the most enjoyable!

the smell of scented pine cones is THE best! im not quite ready to get into the holiday spirit – yet. no im not scrooge, its just too early for me to admit that the cold weather is offish here. im going to rock my state of denial until after thanksgiving, k? k!!
sorry about the juicer! ack. i hate broken appliances. regardless of how often i used it before, as SOON as its broken, i always want use it.

I feel you! It’s still way sunny and about 70 degrees here, so I think I’m doing the opposite and trying to induce the holiday season

What is it with kitties and dirty laundry!? Mine does the same thing. oh wait- she also sleeps on CLEAN laundry which really pisses me off because I go to the gym looking like I just sat on my cat

Sad to hear about the juicer but glad you’re still getting your fruits and veggies in. We’re half decorated for xmas- love it <3 Have a good day

Things I love: to do lists and organized piles!

Oh no!! So sorrry to hear about the juicer mishap… when I thought mine died over the summer I was sooo distraught!!
Question: When you are in the habit of juicing every day, do you clean the juicer after each use? I’m lazy and usually clean my Breville after every other use, but my husband has a super sensitive nose and thinks it makes our condo smell like pulp lol…. I would juice more if it was more convenient!
Posted by Erin on November 23, 2009 at 9:50 pm
I definitely clean it every day! I have a sensitive nose too…plus I don’t want it to get stuck in that basket and not come out…plus…I’m kind of neurotic
Posted by Melissa S. on November 22, 2009 at 4:42 pm
i like the last thing on your list the most.
and i thought of you the other day when i was checking out trail mix assortments and found one very very similar to the one you sent me LONG TIME AGO when i lived in San Diego…gimme your addie again love.
Posted by Julz on November 22, 2009 at 5:01 pm
If you do a house tour, do we get to see the “goodie” drawer? [You know I'm talkin makeup collection btw, right?]
Can we have a skype date soon? I WANT!
OkaaaAaaayyyy. [twss. effng fowl.]
You never told me whether you thought the WF PB was stank or not?! I think it is… Def part of the attraction
I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE YOU. Oh so so much!
