Saturday Schtuff

I’d like to kick off this weekend with some adorable cat photos.

On Saturday morning, I went running with Elisa. It had been awhile since we last ran together and it felt good to get out. Afterward, she and I went to brunch at a place called Jacob’s Pickle’s for biscuits and mimosas. I am kicking myself right now for missing a great photo op of both our food and the place itself.

When I got back home, I had a lot of energy so I did the laundry and organized the office shelves (which had gotten pretty disorderly over the past few weeks.) Now, while there’s still a bunch of things on the shelves, atleast they are things we want to display.

By the time I was done, it was time to eat. Gavin made the most amazing buffalo chicken pizza. As in, AMAZING. I want to eat this every day it’s so good.

Now we’re watching football and Baltimore just made a pretty sweet touchdown. I saw the replay. It was pretty epic.

Feng Shui: Entrance to the Apartment

In other (Feng Shui) news, I spent a significant amount of time reorganizing our shelves in the entrance to our apartment.

Here’s the rundown of the things we did, following our Feng Shui consultation:
– bookshelves have nice things to look at and positive books and magazines of things we are currently interested in
– we are displaying photos of supportive people in our lives (family)
– coats and shoes have been organized and the ones we use everyday are the ones that are out (seasonal stuff has been stored)
– the shoes now have a shoe rack to rest on and again, displaying the ones we wear more often and not every shoe we both own
– I added some of our blue vases and pottery to this area of the home

– we put two long runner rugs (dark gray but we thought they looked blue)
– we put three small mirrors along the wall to add more water.
– Gavin’s photography work is on the wall at the end of the hallway; the first thing you see that draws you into the space

– and probably most importantly: the cat litter box now has a hood on it so you don’t smell anything unpleasant when entering the home

Next up- probably the kitchen (which may take a bit of work.)
