A Day in the Life

As promised, I will be posting my A Day in the Life pages (you can read more about this on Ali Edward's blog here).

But first, some unfinished business. If you are a regular here, you know all about the Valentine's Day flower drama. If you need to catch up to speed, check out the end of this post.

Yep! Those are the flowers! They arrived just as I was leaving my apartment after lunch! I think they are beautiful, and they came in a lovely deep red glass vase! Perfect for holding Valentine's Day flowers in the future :) I actually brought them to work with me, because I wanted to be able to look at them!

Because of the delay, AJ was refunded all of his money (that means these are free flowers, you know, if you don't count the hours and hours I spent on the phone with them trying to get them to deliver!) and we are supposed to get a $30 gift card and a $20 gift card.

On a related note, we will never chose 1-800-Flowers on Valentine's Day (or any other day of the year...) again! I will use the free gift cards, if we actually get them, because I feel like I need to be "paid" for the time and energy I spent arguing with them over the past few days! But after those two gift cards are gone, I will never ever call them, click on their site and if someone mentions needing to send flower, I will adamantly oppose their service as a choice!

Well, now that that is cleared up, and my Valentine's Day present is finally here for me to enjoy, we can talk about A Day in the Life.

This was a pretty typical Wednesday for us, which is what I love about this project. You get to capture just a regular day. I used Ali's free Week in the Life pages to keep track of my day and took pictures of everything I could. I didn't take a lot of pictures at work, because well, its work...hahaha.

I decided to keep all my "A Week in the Life" and "A Day in the Life" pages in one album, and use the same basic layout for each, pictures and journaling cards in baseball card pages and the worksheets in regular 8.5 x 11 page protectors! For this day, I used 3 "baseball card" layouts and one page protector :)

Reading (about A Day in the Life) for some inspiration in the morning)
Drinking tea
Its still light outside when I leave work
Stuck in traffic on my way home (don't worry, I was sitting at a red light when I took this...so far back you can't even see the red light!)
Reading on my kindle at lunch

Watching Baseball IQ - we are really bad at this trivia game, but its fun to watch.
Watching Modern Family
The only picture I took for last week's Scavenger Hunt Sunday. AJ was a little weirded out that I was taking pictures of his eye for "facial feature"
Getting ready for bed
Taking pictures of the moon over the lake
Perry Bluegoogles, Mama Bear and Moosey are all ready for bed!

 What I do in a day, on an hour by hour basis. A few work things are blanked out, because idk if people want their names here...like "I had a meeting with {insert coworker's name here}." hahaha

And that is a day in our life!

I am soooo glad it is Friday, this week has seemed to go on forever! Do you have any plans for this weekend? Tonight we need to wait for the internet guy to come to hook up our own internet (as opposed to our building's free wifi) because we want to get Netflix, and I'd like faster upload speeds for things like uploading pictures to my blog and Shutterfly! Saturday, AJ and I are going to see an Oscar movie marathon, a local theater is showing 4 Oscar nominated movies - War Horse, Money Ball, Tree of Life and The Descendants. I'm really excited, although I do wish they were showing The Help in this round. I read the book, but I still haven't seen the movie! Oh well, I guess I'll just have to rent it once we get our Netflix set up :)
