the dailies: erin ruth.



You've seen her on DesignSponge. On Decor8. On Print and Pattern. And of course, right here. But have you met the real Erin Ruth? The brain behind the wrap? Look no further... it's DAILY TIME! Take it away, dear Erin!

this is my day for sat, april 5th. not exactly my typical day since i usually wake at 7, but it's a saturday, right?



10:00 wake up; i've been in and out of sleep since 7:45, but my dog is now standing on my face staring at me. the second i open my eyes she smothers me with kissses and hops around the bed like a bunny rabbit. i can't help but laugh! my husband is already up, but that's only because I stayed up last night finishing the wine and catching up on my tivoed kardashians and the hills (i know, i know- but i'm ADDICTED!)

i wash up and wander into the kitchen to make breakfast for my husbands bday- which was actually yesterday, but he thinks he gets the whole weekend :) i realize one of the lightbulbs has gone out on the ceiling fan, so i try to fix it. when i'm up on the chair i realize how dirty the fan is, so now i have to clean it or it'll haunt me the rest of the day.



10:45 ok time to cook... i'm making mini berry turnovers. pretty easy w/crescent sheets, cream cheese, fresh strawberries & blueberries and a few other things.



11:15 breakfast (ok, maybe more like brunch) is served... yummm

11:30 time to get some work done! i have a bunch of orders and samples to get out before a much dreaded trip to the post office.



1:30 packages are ready to go, but maybe i should change out of my sweat pants 1st...?

2:00 i hate going to the post office as one guy that works there is very mean and i always get him.... yup just what i expected, i think he was waiting for me! he wasn't so bad today and at least there was no line!



i get stuck behind a school bus on the way home. what is it doing out on a saturday anyhow?



2:15 back home... i finish packaging a shipment that will go to fedex later and realize we have to get to the dump before 3pm. I have tons of boxes and recycling that is taking over the pantry so I grab my husband and we just make it before the gates close.

3:15 i heat up some leftovers from dinner last night for us, clean up the mess I made from all the packaging, and fold laundry (the fun never stops!).



4:00 i start working on rolls for a wholesale order that i want to get out early next week. change of plans- the in-laws call to tell us to come over earlier for drinks before we go to dinner for the bday boy. ok, gotta shower and get ready now then.

5:00 head over to the in-laws. grab my white spring jacket and pretend it's actually warm out.



5:30 yummy wine from a great vineyard sonoma, snacks and a few good laughs before we make our way to the restaurant.

7:30 there is an hour wait at our favorite stir fry place so we grab a seat at the bar and wait for our table.



8:30 we get a table and load up our plates with lots of goodies to bring to the grille. we have a great time- the atmosphere is loud and fun with crazy lights. we eat and drink until we're stuffed...

12:20 time for bed! we are exhausted and someone is waiting patiently for us.

[Thanks so much Erin for having me & everyone else for reading my day :)]

Digg!

I've always loved her wrapping paper! Makes me feel much better about working on saturdays too :)

Jude said...

If I show up at her house with a 'Will Work For Food' sign in hand do you think she'd make me some of those scrumptious mini berry turnovers? ☺

Cindy said...

i'm a little late, but i love her paper. also, must admit that i've replaced the hills with rob & big.

welcome.

because beauty lies in the details of design. in the pencil shavings, in the blueberry waffles. the vintage dress, framed portrait, old postcard.

design is inevitable. celebrated. design for mankind.
