I canNOT believe tomorrow is February.
In February of 2012, I had fun participating in Simply Rebekah’s “Day in the Life” link-up. (Here’s my post from last year.)
Last night, at exactly 6:45, it hit me that if I was going to take 24 hours worth of pictures AND get the post written in time to link it up again this year, I needed to get started.
Like . . . right then.
So I did.
I took a picture every hour for 24 hours, except while I was sleeping. (Since that would just be creepy.)
At 6:45 p.m. last night, I was at choir practice:
At 7:45, I was at praise team practice:
Those are my fellow singers. They were more than willing to pose for my pictures.
And yes, Mother, I dyed my hair. It’s supposed to fade . . . but for now it’s basically black. And I’m having an identity crisis over it.
And yes, I really need to re-apply make-up before taking pictures at the end of a long day . . .
At 8:45, we were still rehearsing:
This was actually right BEFORE we were supposed to come in, so we were only pretending to sing. Debbie’s pretty believable, Karina . . . not so much. Me? Not at all.
At 9:45, I was just getting home. The dishwasher and dryer were both running when I walked into the house. What a man!
At 10:45, I was heading to bed. I stopped by the linen closet to grab a clean, not-yet-slobbered-on pillowcase for my wake-up picture.
At 6:45 this morning, I was pretending that it wasn’t really time to get up yet.
At 7:45, I was drinking my one cup of coffee for the day, and doing my Bible Study lesson (after having dropped the kids at school).
At 8:45, I was emptying the dishwasher. (Usually this is a 6:45 job, but this morning I was still pretending I had time to sleep . . .)
At 9:45, I was getting into my “Nony” costume:
At 10:45, I was in the middle of shooting the finale to the Master Bedroom Saga:
Why yes. That is my fancy equipment. It’s my iPhone attached to my tripod with rubber bands.
At 11:45/12ish, I was washing two avocados to make guacamole for my lunch.
You don’t wash yours with soap? That’s weird.
At 12:45/1ish (the every-single-hour thing was starting to get a bit muddy at this point), I had just started back to work in the master bedroom when I remembered what I had meant to search for online while eating my lunch. So of course, I went back to find it, and proceeded to cry the entire time I watched this video.
At 2ish, I was vacuuming the Master Bedroom:
At 3ish, the picking up and driving all around began:
At 4ish, we were heading back out to pick up the brothers, after my 6yo had made them a snack:
At 5ish, I was browning 10 lbs of ground beef and my 6yo was making the meatballs for tonight’s supper. (She was on a cooking kick today!)
At 6ish, after taking my 11yo to basketball practice, we had Family Kitchen Clean-Up Time.
(That’s my 9yo making Daddy’s lunch for tomorrow.)
And at 7ish (24 hours after I started), I was heading back out to pick up the basketball practice-er.
And that . . . is one random day in the life of a Slob Blogger. 2013.

I think this is cool to see how your day goes.
No, I don’t wash avocado with soap, or even with water, I don’t eat the peels…
Nony says
What? Are you not supposed to eat the peels??? Just kidding.
I just can’t help thinking about the nastiness on the peel moving down through avocado on the edge of the knife. Yes. I know I have issues.
Julie says
You’re right Nony, that’s a recognised form of food poisoning. Confusingly it’s sometimes referred to as Canteloupe poisoning. I wash everything before I open it / peel it too.

Thanks for sharing! Went back and read LAST year’s post. You should DEFINITELY re-read it yourself and be proud of the huge difference in your day-to-day routine—you have really accomplished so much change in your routine! Great job!
Rebekah from Simply Rebekah says
I actually giggled out loud at your wake up picture. Thank you so much for posting that! haha!
You should try Veggie Wash for your produce. I love it and they didn’t pay me to say that!

Who washes Avocados? You only eat the insides … and grow plants with the pits!
Glad to see you eating something GREEN … your weekly meal plan didn’t show many veggies!
We all should be eating every color of the rainbow, as each color has something beneficial to help our body stay healthy!

Hi, if you read her blog from the beginning, there is always, vegetables or salads that go with their meals but to keep it simple she would just mention the main, so as not to get overwhelmed & so that we can use whatever veg/salad we’ve choose.
