Day 5 of 30 Article Saturday

I was up until 3am finishing an article last night, and I get to spend today grading and revising yet another article. My favorite part of 30 for 30 is that it forces me to get dressed every day. I work from home 5 days a week and the weekends can be an abyss of pajamas if I am not careful. But I work so much better once I am up, showered, and dressed for the day.

Boris anxiously awaits his morning walk. 

Jacket:: Gap

Shirt: AE

Jeans: MEK

Shoes: Converse

Necklace: Claire's

These are my poor MEKs that are in hospice. You can't really tell, but there are some holes in unfortunate places.

Sometimes when I don't feel very motivated, I visit this website called FlyLady that one of my friends had fanned on her Facebook. Intriguing. It is this little purple lady with wings who motivates you to clean things in your house. I am baffled, but it works. It is like she is yelling at you in a "favorite Aunt" sort of way.

It was she who scolded me to get "dressed to the shoes" in one article I read, and I have somehow never forgotten that tip. Doing so does help my working-from-home work habits. Sometimes you just need a cartoon lady to kick your butt! :)

Time to walk the boy (yes I am the worst; I made him wait while I posted this) and then read articles, summarize articles, splice articles into my own article, edit, retype and so on. That, my friends, is my typical weekend!
