And This I Know.

It's been one of those weeks.
2018 is drawing to a close, and Christmas is just around the corner.
My heart feels joyful and heavy all at once.
More to come...

I'm a Gaiam Girl.

I told ya'll I'd have an udpate on the balance ball chair thing.

Welp... today I went for it and traded my office chair for a Gaiam balance chair. I was a little skeptical at first, but I'm pretty much in love with this thing now and I wonder why I waited so long.

Last week I switched my primary seating to an exercise ball, which I swapped with my regular chair only for interviews.

[i posted this last week]

Today I did my first couple of interviews atop this thing, and after throwing a sherpa blanket across the whole thing, only one person really even noticed it was that different from a standard chair.


yessssss

You can't really see it there, but this thing has a wheeled base and detachable balance ball. I don't feel like I'm sitting on the floor, either, which is great. Now all I need is a cover, and I've got my eye on a couple.. including this one: 

love. this.

My only problem is that I can't justify spending almost $45 on the cover for the ball that, along with the chair base didn't even cost half of that. There are other options.. so I'll keep ya posted ;)

I'm at home now, feeling pretty good about this new little perch I've got. Rob, Sydni and I just finished eating dinner and it's time now to watch Frozen for the umpteenth time for family movie night and get ready for tomorrow. The weekend is in sight... almost.. almost!

Marvelous Monday

So long, Monday!



happy bday brittany!

 First off - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!! to my best friend's sister, and one of my bridesmaids, Brittany :). I hope it's a perfect birthday! ♥
If there's a tougher girl out there than Brittany, she surely can't beat her by much. She may be beautiful [always!], but this chick survived hitting a tree a few years back during a ski outing and I must say, I wouldn't have wished that surgery/recovery process on anyone. I'm glad to call her a friend and hopefully today is as cool as she [and Miss Maddie, pictured]!

I felt rather accomplished, for the most part, at the closing of this Monday.

- My most recent knitting project made its debut today and not only served its purpose, but held up through all the hustle and bustle of Mondays at the office. I'm starting to feel some solidity under my feet when it comes to handling the basics of knitting. I'd like to think that, after some more practice, I can branch out to some more complicated endeavors: socks, beanies, and looms are my first three targets. I'm at a good pace, so far.

- Secondly, we did Salmon tonight, which is one of my favorites for both its taste and nutritional value. I always feel a swelling pride when I watch Sydni eat stuff like this; she obviously doesn't realize the idea behind healthy eating, but I sure do, and I sleep better at night knowing my mini is getting the right kind of fuel. :)

All in all, it's not been a bad start to the week, by any stretch.

Let's see how the rest of it pans out!
