Here we go ~ welcome to my day! Photos, brought to you by the Iphone and are arranged in order of their appearance during the day.
7:12 Wake-up {morning light is my favorite}
7:12 - 10:10 what I like to call the present day morning routine give or take some of the activities:
shower {A couple of years ago, I made a habit of taking a shower first thing in the morning, before I do anything else, as a way of always being "ready" for my day. And I do this even when I know I'm not leaving the house that day. As much as working from home allows you to work in pajamas, and the luxury of that is fun to do every once in a while~ I found that it doesn't really work for me. It's too important to me to feel together and ready for the day as it evolves.}
spend way too long choosing an outfit for the day
coffee
check emails, and answer some
emailed out a daily painting and posted it on the blog
move my car so Sean could head out to teach class ~ L.A. and it's street parking. You don't even want me to go there.
laundry ~ and by laundry I mean linen laundry, Monday is usually our cleaning day, however this week in anticipation for creating some uninterrupted working time, I actually did some cleaning ahead of time on Sunday this week
10:10 ~ 10:55 Finished my cleaning duty for the day by cleaning the kitchen
10:55 ~ 11:15 Finish getting ready for my "artist's date" with Christine and Swirly or as I like to call them the Christines
11:15 ~ 12:00 Drive to meet the Christines and get lost
12:00 ~ 3:30 Artist date visiting an amazing creative store called The French General, have lunch and coffee {once again}, sweet baby Henry was also there, walk along Sunset Blvd on the east side of L.A. in Silverlake and finally visit the store Reform School. Remind myself that even though I always have so much "work" to do. These kinds of meetings are also part of my "work", as they are vital for inspiration, perspective and new knowledge as a creative business owner and let's not forget some of the best parts of life, quite frankly.
3:30 ~ 4:45 drive home, stop to photograph the Hollywood sign and tweet about it: something like "keep following your dreams people" also took a quick stop to pick up a cupcake treat for me and for Sean
4:45 ~ 5:15 visit with Sean and catch up on our day
5:15 ~ 5:45 cat nap
5:45 ~ 6:30 write and post this very blog experiment as well as sort through Iphone photos to share in this very blog post
6:30 ~ 7:15 change into yoga clothes, drive to class and stop by the bank to make a deposit
7:15 catch my breath for a moment and take notes of the day for this very blog post :)

9:00 ~ 9:20 visit with my yoga teacher and friend Leslie to talk about inspiring moments of the Winter Olympics and tell her about this very blog experiement ~ hi Leslie!
