…. When you do it Caitlin-style!

I woke up this AM determined to get my apartment in order.  I’m the kind of girl who isn’t satisfied unless her place reeks of Clorox and Febreeze.  Of course, cleaning has taken a backseat the last few weeks with my busy schedule.

I put on my iPod and grabbed my bucket.  I did:

• General house pick-up.
• Scrub kitchen and two bathroom floors (on hands and knees with a brush).
• Clean counters in kitchen and two bathrooms.
• Scrub both tubs (again, with a brush).
• Took out the trash (about a 0.25 mile jog!)
• Washed the front steps and stairs.
• Vaccummed
• 15 push-ups 🙂

The whole thing took me about an hour and 15 minutes and TRUST ME, I got my sweat on!  It was great and now the apartment sparkles.

Breakfast:

Banana oatmeal with:

• 1/2 cup oatmeal
• 1/2 cup unsweet almond breeze
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 sliced banana
• Toppings: 1 tablespoon flax, coconut, and blueberries

Operation Beautiful

There are some lovely notes up today on Operation Beautiful.  I wanted to share two in particular — check out the site for the rest!

Elisabeth wrote, "I am traveling from Minnesota through Colorado to Arizona, back via Texas and around — many opportunities to leave these cards in many places — I edited a little a note I saw on your website, and sent it to Office Max during a week they were having a sale on 100 postcards (would love to make a stickie note with this, but couldn’t find an efficient way to do that). But these can be leaned places, and borrowed, and mailed…"

If you LOVE Operation Beautiful and want to participate, all you need to do is write a note, take a picture, and e-mail it to Caitlin at seebriderun@gmail.com.  Spread the love!
