WEDNESDAY : wake up @ 8:00. breakfast of oatmeal, banana and honey. social media check. get dressed for Bar Method. drive to 9am class. drive home. take a shower. take photos of a minibook and work on some blog posts for next week. put together some fall books (coming in mid-August). make lunch : sandwich + greek yogurt with honey and blueberries. realize the reason I have had a headache all day is probably because I forgot to have coffee. become frustrated because if I drink coffee past noon I won't sleep. film a very important video for a fun upcoming project. spend a few hours editing the video. after much frustration, learn a few tricks on iMovie that make me feel like a professional. remember quickly that I am far from professional. get an email from The Goodness with my recent "headshots." stop everything to look at the photos. blush like a crazy person, but smile like one too. prep a new post for tomorrow morning with a few of the images. take a break from the computer, eyes are starting to cross. change over my big wall calendar to August and start planning posts for next month. walk downstairs to grab the mail. cook dinner. it's what I like to call, "pasta with whatever I can find in the kitchen." tonight that means, noodles with a bit of butter, salt, pepper, olive oil, basil, tomatoes, almonds and blue cheese. super tasty. read some blogs, visit pinterest and watch more Arrested Development. decide to bake something. the stars align and we have everything for these strawberry lemon bars. follow directions exactly but they turn out odd looking. still tasty though. upload photos and type this post.

    Took a picture of my drive to Bar Method at 5:45 this morning. Didn’t regret it afterwards, but was definitely having 2nd thoughts on the way there!

    These pictures are wonderful! And you make it seem so simple! I drool over Ali’s “Week in the Life” but never feel like I would have enough time to remain committed – you’ve done a really great job making it work for you – thanks for inspiring me!

    You make me want to watch Arrested Development again. One of the best shows ever. So sad it was cancelled 😦

    I am soooo enjoying these posts! Like Marta, I’d love to be settled down so I can follow suit. Quick random question: how does greek yogurt differ from regular yogurt?

    I actually had no idea. I have been eating it for a few weeks because I had heard it was better for you … but google says it has less sugar and more protein – so it must be! I add honey to give it a bit of sweetness.

    Okay, I have to try those bars. I think they will be my new favorite. We’ll see… Also, did you use a big (attachable) flash for any of these pictures? Do you even need a flash?

    nope, no flash for any shots. Just played with the ISO for low-light settings.

    hi elise! i found you via ali edwards and i just have to say that you are so fun to follow! i’ve been poking around in your archives, especially love the wedding stuff- mine’s in a couple of months! it’s so awesome to see someone my own age who doesn’t have kids yet and still loves scrapbooking/memory keeping. so many times it feels like i’m an “outsider” since the majority of scrappy gals focus on their children and family life. i think it’s cool that our kids will be able to see what our lives were like before they came along, haha. thanks for sharing!
