Framed

Hey!!

IMG_7531-2Blog

Somehow I let myself get really behind schedule and I have exactly 4 minutes to post!

After forcing myself to do a bunch of computer work this morning, I rewarded myself with a house project after: hanging frames! Matt walked me through how to use a bit, anchor and screw in dry wall and so I hung this little gallery myself instead of relying on him to do it in the evenings.

IMG_7546-2Blog

The location is at the bottom of our basement stairs – which I LOVE because every time I walk by from the top floor I look down and see it. It was so bland before. I don’t like hanging frames up and down the staircase because that makes me feel claustrophobic, so this was the perfect way to get some color and personality into the space. The K + M were from the church doors at our wedding!

IMG_7542-2Blog

I went to the noontime Body Pump express at 12:10 (ran there – so quick!) and walked home. Then picked up Matt’s car from the inspection place. Then had lunch!

IMG_7538-2Blog

A veggie + pear + bleu salad…

IMG_7541-2Blog

…with a side of Blueberry Siggi’s (which tastes like tart frozen yogurt to me!) topped with The Cluster

I just managed a super fast shower.

    I love how the frames look in the stairwell…I love how a lot of color fills up a blah space.

    And yay for Siggi’s! I haven’t bought it in ages, since it’s so pricey, but found some on sale at the co-op yesterday. So deliciously tart.

    Hope you’re well, Kath!

    The frames look great! And your Siggis looks so cute – I thought the black and white thing was something chocolate-y but I’m assuming it’s a spoon? Either way, awesome lunch!

    Hi Kath, I am about to start a job which will require to me to work the midnight shift (12am-8am). I was just wondering if you (or Matt) would have any suggestions for how to survive this schedule. Matt’s day also starts pretty early so I was hoping you might have some tips on how to maintain a productive, heathly lifestyle despite this odd work schedule.

      September 22, 2011 at 4:51 pm

      Well, the midnight shift is quite a bit different from the baker’s shift despite a difference of only a few hours, but I can tell you what it’s like for us here and maybe you’ll get some helpful tips out of it! The bakers get here at 3:30am. My advice to them is to go to bed as early as they reasonably can, and resist the temptation to take a nap after their shift. If you work the early shift several times in one week, and then you take one big nap before the weekend, you’re usually close enough to a normal schedule to enjoy the weekend with everyone else. This may not be as possible for you – you’ll have to decide if you’re going to sleep before or after your shift. I recommend basing the decision on your social life to be honest. My thought is that you can eat and sleep anytime, but if your friends are doing exciting things without you, you’ll regret missing out. I hope that helps!

      Cait – Siggi’s is the BEST. It is SO SO SO thick… it’s just $$$. But tooootally worth the splurge now and then 😉

      Cait – Def try Siggi’s! It’s thick, and has only 9 grams of sugar per 5 oz. (with flavor!) – just an incredible nutritional profile, and it’s delicious – I eat it pretty much everyday. Worth the price (usually about $2 each). WF is the only place I know of in Atlanta where you can get it, and they do put it on special occasionally.

    Pictures along a staircase makes me think of grandmothers and being outdated. I don’t need to see all 8X10 school year pictures of all 12 of your grandchildren, 2nd neices, and your neighbor’s kids. They all are sporting bad hair anyways. hahaha
