r is on a trip this weekend, and i've got lots of editing to do. most days i prettify myself, and go to a cafe to work. but yesterday, i tried out the whole working-in-your-pjs-from-bed thing.
i wore sweat pants (the only pair i've ever owned. no joke.) and fleece socks.
i maybe also stole robbie's sweater. just imagine how it all looked together…
this one stayed by my side & offered some barks of encouragement…but mostly just begged me for food.
i kept a supply of pumpkin-chocolate chip cookies on hand -- for myself, not bernie the beagle. i did sneak her some of my apple slices though.
and i maybe took some time to tackle messes, like this one.
…and this one...
…and this one too.
but actually, i didn't clean up. ok, i washed those dishes and did one load of laundry.
but if we're being honest, the whole working-from-home thing is really hard for me. i get distracted by wanting to organize things and read books. also the dogs. bless those puppies, but they can't sit still or keep quiet around me. also, i hate not being dressed up. i can't concentrate without a good skirt on -- it's regrettable, but it's the way i work. so today i'll have to duck into a cafe to clock some work hours -- for a little bit at least.
Ahh, attest you tried! I work from home full time, and it does take some getting use to. But a Cafe sounds much nicer! Have a great day. xx ::: Shauna ::: www.shaunawyrick.com
ReplyDeleteNo I know how you feel! Moving to an apartment with an office from just a desk in my room has made all the difference!
ReplyDeleteI'm the same - working from home can be a nightmare when you get so easily distracted! Sometimes it's nice to work from home and stay snuggled under the duvet for a little longer

I love that you have Frosted Flakes. Best cereal ever. I get distracted at home too but other times I am amazingly productive. I never know what it's going to be when I sit down at my desk.
ReplyDeleteWren
I do the same! =)
ReplyDeleteAw, Bernie is the cutest! xxx
ReplyDeleteThis is a great outfit post! ;-) I agree, you need to be really focused and hardheaded when working from home, there are so many potential distractions...
ReplyDeleteI rarely blog from bed, and I won't even go to a cafe, usually I go to the library. They have free wifi for 3 hours, so I put my headphones in and knuckle down. But every now and again, bed is a nice change!
ReplyDeleteThose cookies look yummy!! :)
ReplyDeleteGirl, I totally feel you. I figured this about myself in college, so on days when I knew that I would be logging quite a few hours of studying, I would dress up and make my way to the library. It's so weird but so true.
ReplyDelete:)
@lena: i totally second that! i lived in my campus library during college…i always joked that i should start paying them rent.
ReplyDeleteI spy HP books!! I always work from bed, lol. Might be why I don't get things done when I plan to...
ReplyDelete@lulu: thanks! she's my baby. i'll give her a pat on the head just from you. : )
ReplyDeleteIt is easy getting distracted from work at home - but much comfier!

You've only ever owned one pair of sweatpants!? What a shocking fact. I am a sweat pants dweller.
ReplyDeletethat sweater is amazing.
ReplyDeleteand i want my bed to look that comfy!
I understand how you feel! My boyfriend went out of town last weekend and I literally was in bed all day. It's not that I can't function without him but usually when he's around I make plans for us to do fun activities! It was a great lazy day filled with movies :)

I love stay at home and be comfy in pjs days! :) Let's me get stuff done around the house. but it is also fun to get all cute and go somewhere so you feel like you got something done huh. I love all the pictures you take, even pics of something simple looks so beautiful the way you do it!

Sometimes if I'm in a lazy slump in terms of productivity, I just NEED to get dressed before I get anything done. It's just how my brain works somehow. Who knows.
ReplyDeleteI love the look of that sweater ;)

Working from home is harrrrd. Distractions are abundant! I also totally get the good skirt thing, even though I'm not a huge skirt/dress wearer. I do however feel the need to "prettify" and dress creatively when I am trying to get something creative done......nice try though! ;)
ReplyDeleteAlso, some days just call for pajamas and organizing all day!
I'm horrible at working from home... I never get a stitch of work done!

I love that the picture of your kitchen has a box of cereal sitting on the counter. We all know that someone in your household has a cereal fetish. :)

P.S. Working from home is hard!
some days I love working from home and other days I absolutely hate it. but mostly love :)
ReplyDeletei wish i was more like you--i seem to waste far too many days in sweat pants wrapped in my duvet :)
ReplyDeleteI totally feel you! Thanks for commiserating on my instagram editing picture haha. I have started bringing my laptop down to the kitchen at least instead of the bedroom! I have roommates, so it forces me somehow to think I am in a more "public" place and thus, should have my vintage listings opened and not say, facebook, and bloglovin, and at least three shopping tabs.
ReplyDeleteI also think you should steal Robbie's sweater for good! ;)
AND, I would LOVE to do some sort of fun dress up photo shoot thing in the near future! Like maybe a morning one? With coffee first! This week is way to insane but lets be in touch soon!! :)
