I don’t know about you all, but I LOVE reading day in the life posts. It’s like, the epitome of nosiness and, though I’m getting better, being nosy is one of my favorite hobbies. I find myself wishing I could Google things about people’s personal life to find out more details on the regular. The first step is admitting you have a problem, or something like that.
The last time I did one of these posts was two years ago and you can find that here if you are interested in nosing even more into my life. No shame in your game, girl! Heaven knows I’d do it. If only to continue to cry into the Reeces Eggs I’m currently eating about how skinny I was at that time.
This is getting off track. Not only do I love these type of posts, I feel like this is as good a time as any to document a “regular” day – since those are about to look A LOT different somewhere in the next seven weeks. So here you go! A random Thursday from six weeks ago because that’s apparently how long it takes me to put a post together these days:
5:30. Up and at ’em! I’m naturally a pretty earlier riser – I don’t even usually set an alarm. This time has varied more lately depending on how many times I woke up to pee and couldn’t go back to sleep the night before. I usually read the She Reads Truth for the day before I even get out of bed.
The dog gets up with me most days so I let him out while I make coffee. Then we cuddle on the couch and watch a DVR’d show while reading blog posts or promoting my post for the day. This day I actually wrote a quick Confessions post early in the morning.
7:15. I’m walking the dog. It’s a new Serial Thursday so I listen to that as we walk. It’s TWENTY EIGHT degrees so we don’t go super far today.
7:35. Eat a quick breakfast, pick up the living room, kitchen, and make the bed. Our bedroom is seriously such a hodge-podge of stuff – making the bed is the only way to make it feel a little bit pretty to me. I can’t wait until our new bed (in Linen Grey) is here in a couple of weeks!
7:45. Getting ready for work. Usually, I use this time to watch whatever TV series I’m into on Netflix (at this point it was still Grey’s Anatomy) but today I finish listening to the new Serial episode. Then replay it when I’m done because I’m a nerd like that.
Find (most of) the makeup products I use daily in this post!
9:05. At work! I don’t have a set time I have to be at work but I try to get there around 9:00. Since being pregnant it has been getting closer to 9:30 or after so this day is a real win.
12:00. Nathan has been traveling A LOT lately and this day we both had a pretty light work load/schedule so we met up for lunch! Such a nice treat. I ask him for a selfie because I’m documenting my day for the blog and he doesn’t even bat an eyelash. #bloggerhusbandforthewin
1:00. Back at work. Woo! #soblurry #hurtsmyeyes
4:30. Leave work and head to the motherland. Aka Target. I’d say I end up here after work 1.5 times a week on average, which is slightly embarrassing but it’s right on my way home so it’s super convenient! Obviously, all of these purchases were essential. Don’t come between a pregnant girl and her snacks. You’ve been warned.
5:08. Out of Target but stuck in the parking lot because my car key won’t turn in the ignition. I call my husband in a panic who promises to head out of work to come right over and save me. So obviously I get out some snacks for the wait… While snacking waiting I come to my senses and consult Google who solves my issue in 2.5 seconds. P.s. That Chex Mix is the bomb dot com.
5:30. Home and making some Healthier Chocolate Muffins because I had some old bananas I needed to use. They look gross but I swear they are 100% deeeelicious.
6:50. Making dinner. This is one of our favorite dinners when we are craving Chinese but want a better option. Chicken, onion, peppers, pineapple, and a splash of this sauce. YUM.
7:30. Percy and I are back where we started the day (on the couch) and I’m responding to blog comments and rewatching the last episode of The People vs. OJ Simpson because I fell asleep the first time we watched it.
9:00. In bed with my boys watching the latest OJ. I probably fell asleep during this one, too. Hard to say. We can’t decide if we are into it or not though and I don’t think we’ve watched another episode since this picture. Whoops. I’m also so happy to report that we have replaced this ugly dresser in our room since this picture. #hallelujah
I’m usually asleep by 9:30/10:00 – even earlier some days the more pregnant I become. Hope you enjoyed reading about my super exciting day! I’m making fun but I actually LOVE days like this. Totally normal days. I can’t wait to compare this post to our life in six months. Do you think it will look any different with a baby?! 
Can’t wait to catch up with you all today! Linking up with Biana, Erin, Katie, and Christine.
