I was supposed to do a lot today.
I did some of it, and left the rest in the same place my mind must be residing these days.
I didn’t post about the photoshop actions today.
Soon, I promise.
I didn’t clean my house ’til squeaking and shiny.
I’m pretty sure I didn’t eat quite as perfectly as I’d hoped.
Here’s some things I did do, though, and random happenings/thoughts floating around L.A. (lower Alabama, that is)
1. I sweated all day long. Literally. Like, slipped around in the chair at the salon and left it all wet and slimy for the next client. Yum.
2. I thought about how much I wanted to strangle my trainer…thoughts of slow, tortuous death. (if you’re reading, C.C., you know I’m kidding. sort of.)
3. I planned out my next passion/business venture….and wrote it all down on paper so I don’t forget tomorrow.
4. I cleaned up lots of potty training accidents. More yum.
5. Ava’s little bum is so cute, that it hardly matters to me that I’m cleaning up bodily fluids all day.
6. I learned that Grayson makes obnoxious noises in class when he does his work. Just sometimes.
7. Grayson knocked one of the bottles on top of the entertainment center down…and it didn’t break. It kind of freaked me out.
8. My seat cushions for the bench seat came and they’re gorgeous. Fill you in soon.
9. I checked Ree’s blog, and wanted to give her virtual hugs for the writer and woman she is. Can’t wait to watch her show in the morning!
10. I decided to submit manuscripts to some publishing companies. I’m thrilled and very nervous.
11. The slipcovers on are couch are gross. Beyond time to bleach and wash.
12. After I reveal the dining room Monday morning (yep, hold me to that), I’m going to begin working on Grayson’s room. I want it organized, simplified, and cuter.
13. I’m typing at the new dining room table that my insanely talented husband built. Wow, he’s great.
14. My son announced his favorite color is gold. More accurately, golden. Hmmm…
15. I took some great shots around town for our gallery wall. Think tracks, cool buildings, and old doors.
16. I got a haircut. And added some more copper-ish undertones added to my hair so it would be sort of like Jennifer Anniston’s color. I love it.
17. My bangs look good today. But only because Shelley fixed them.
18. I cleaned our kitchen and did the dishes for the 3rd time since yesterday morning.
19. Ava’s new favorite phrase….”it’d be fun, daddy, c’mon, k?”
20. I painted the armoire. It’s quite unexpected for me.
21. My cousin came over and made my day by gushing over the table and some of my pieces. Love ya, Jen.
22. I missed Julie, one of my best buddies.
23. I gazed at those new vintage signs propped in the kitchen and wondered if I’d made a mistake. Then I decided the words, “malt” and “shakes,” make me reaaaalll happy.
24. I talked to some blog friends today. I love blog friends.
25. I’m still sweating.
That sounds like a perfect day. Dying to see that table.
Love your day and can’t wait for Monday!
I can identify 110% on numbers 1,2,5,11,18,22 and 25…I’m in Texas and have been in 100/110ish heat, bleh. I can’t tell how many times I have done number 3, at least once a week 😉
LOVE this post
Mmmm… what a great list! I’m thankful that you’re thankful for this day–and someday soon FALL will come!
I LOVE that your sons favorite color is “golden,” how adorable is that? And so different from most children. It makes me think of super heros and sunshine. 🙂
Wait- you did 24 other things PLUS painted the armoire???
Kinda sounds like my day – a little bit of this and a little bit of that. But not too much of the sweating for me today. Yay, ’cause I hate sweating! I am sooo excited for the dining room reveal Monday. If you don’t post it, you’re hearin’ from me! : ) Have you and the family have a great weekend, Shaunna.

Wait, I missed the part where you said you grew a separate body and had your own identical helper slaving away for you all day!? YOU ARE WONDER WOMAN!!! lol
Im holding you to the actions though, Im dying to know your faves!

I understand all about sweating. I live in south Louisiana AND i’m 8 1/2 months pregnant. Sweating is all I seem to accomplish these days! sounds like you had a wonderful day.
Wow and all I thought about was being present. I think I have a bottle of wine opened and waiting in the fridge lol. Looks like you had an amazing day. I recently subscribed to your blog and look forward to snooping through all the archives – love your rooms!
Cheers!
You are flippin funny 😀 Totally get the sweating thing – it’s RI-DIC-ULOUS how hot it is. I can take a shower and in the process of drying off and getting ready I’ll already be sweating enough to need another shower. Ugh! After reading about your day I totally realized I need to get more done in mine. You sound like an Energizer Bunny!
thats the best post!! I loved this,, so honest ,, so fresh and so very real,,
What fun to read the “random” of your day! I was stuck indoors all day, so I’m going to make the most of my weekend. My list is long as well. Looking forward to a couple of your soon-to-be reveals. Have a great weekend. 🙂
loved your post today made me smile 🙂
Ha!…….I watched Hal Ketcham videos on YouTube…….yeah, that’s all…..seriously, I watched dozens of Hal Ketcham videos.
Should I be worried about that?????

PS…I love Hal !
Aw sounds like a nice day, and I relate on the sweating! South Carolina is sooooo humid.
LA… what part? I lived in Dothan for years. Loved it! Both my boys were born there and grew up there. Sounds like you had a really productive day… oh the live of a mom! Enjoy every minute, they grow up way too fast!
enjoyed the list!! potty training? I have a hint that worked with my 4 (youngest is 20 now)
wait until they come to you and say they are ready- this can make the change happen in a day, with possibly no “accidents”- I’m serious
Holy crap! Your weekend was a lot more productive than mine. I think you are torturing us all with your dining room talk though. I can’t wait to see it!!!
You still did more than I did this whole weekend. And I didn’t sweat because didn’t go outside. Would like to see your hair cut. Post picture if you can please.
oh so patiently awaiting the dining room reveal… cannot wait… pls stop the suspense… hahahh j/k… seriously cannot wait to see how it looks…. been thinking about it all w/end knowing today is the day… xo P
Shaunna! It’s well past Monday morning! Okay, well maybe not “well past”, but it’s afternoon here in the Midwest… Where’s that fabulous dining room post you’ve been baiting us with?! lol
Wow, you did ALOT! Sounds like me about 5 months ago before I became pregnant, now all I do is sit around and think about all of the things I’d like to be doing like sanding…painting….spray painting….moving furniture by myself (not having to ask hubs to do it). Basically just bein’ on my feet 24/7! Well………maybe it is better being pregnant and sitting around!
