Friday, happy Friday

Still alive despite the carrots (and added them to today’s smoothie, too). I can tell you’re relieved.

You might have noticed from my last few rewards that I’m kind of on a crafty kick. I go through phases, and it seems that I am doing the “nesting” thing that pregnant women do, it’s just manifesting in sewing cute little things rather than, say, house cleaning. ;)

My Amy Butler book arrived yesterday, so I got fabric for a project out of that book instead of the hat and booties pattern (which hadn’t shown up yet, so I didn’t know how much to get). I’ll post pictures somewhere when I’m done with it—and unless I screw it up royally, you’ll probably die of cute overload.

Most Important Tasks

  • Get Leanna going on WordPress upgrades
  • Code the front page for TweetStyle based on the design I created yesterday
  • Do a yoga workout should one arrive by 3pm (expecting three DVDs, one from Netflix, two from Amazon, but need to be clean and at the church by 5:30 to sound-check for our big weekend)

The reward

Free time to work on the sewing project.

Tricking myself into healthy-baby-incubating

I’m so brave. I’m sure you’ll all be tremendously impressed to learn that I put some cooked carrot in my protein smoothie this morning, despite being irrationally afraid of veggies. This was my mom’s suggestion, and so far, it hasn’t killed me (should probably consider that statement “pending” for 24 hours or so, though ;) ).

I thought I had found the perfect solution to my non-veggie-eating diet with the V8 v•fusion juice—the one where they mix fruit juice with veggie juice (from sweeter veggies like carrots). But with the high glucose levels, my doc specifically told me to lay off soda (which I rarely drink) and juice. So now I’m being more intentional about eating broccoli (the one veggie I like) and trying things like the carrots in stuff.

Truly, I’m six years old.

Most Important Tasks

  • Be available to help Leanna recover her dead hard drive and reinstall everything on the new one
  • Make any requested quick changes on the client theme I’ve been working on
  • Create a layout (design only, not code) for TweetStyle based on the awesome new bird character Pasquale made me

The reward

Buy the fabric I need to make two sets of the patterns I bought yesterday. :)
