I've been working a lot again lately. It's probably time that I take another vacation. Ha! If only I had the time! That is why I don't have another post ready for you today - I did plan on it but work has happened again. Hopefully you understand. I found this picture on Pinterest and think I need to add this little gem to my work space. Have a happy Wednesday. Thanks for visiting.

When going to the gym, I like having a goal to work towards. It's important to not have the same workout routine every time you hit the gym. Why? It would get boring quickly for one, plus you need to keep your body guessing as to whats going to happen next. This is what I do when I head to gym, at least a 1/2 hour of intense cardio. I'm going to sound super crazy but I do want myself really uncomfortable when I do my cardio. I know, I'm nuts! It must be that I've been watching a lot of Biggest Loser or something. And honestly, I think it's melting my unwanted pounds. :) For my HIIT Intervals, I start on the treadmill with a 5 minute walk (3.3 mph), then 2 minutes at a comfortable jog (5.4 mph). Then I start really making my self run somewhere between 6-7mph for about a minute & a half BUT the 30 seconds, I amp the incline to 4 or maybe 5. I'll repeat that for about 15 minutes. Then to complete my intense cardio, I'll do 10-15 minutes of the stair treadmill. Talk about being uncomfortable!!! I hope you'll enjoy this workout. I love learning or seeing new workout routines. What's yours? Please share!

Friday is here and there is a 3 day weekend ahead! Right? Maybe just the regular to for me since I still have deadline to attack. But there will finally be a bit of downtime which I really need.

Here is the top 5 things that happened for my week:

1 - Found a great workout routine/training to do at the gym. I really like it, and noticing that I'm getting better and stronger. I'll have to share with you soon!

2 - Had lunch at my favorite park area with my co-worker this week. Always a plus!

3 - Having my first pumpkin pie latte! Ahhh I love those! Is anyone else ready for fall? I know I am and I've been itching to get my fall decor and scents out. Okay so perhaps I am pushing my fall scents.

4 - I discovered the new sport of boxing. My husband was teaching me and I got really into it and really loved the aggression it got out! Anyways, needless to say, my husband was excited to see me take interest in it that he went out and bought me pink gloves. :)

5 - My husband bought me this really cute decorative owl light! Perfect to start my fall decor!

How has your week been!?!

If anyone knows me, they know that I love to decorate with antlers. If any designer knows, you have to decor this piece just right and in the right area.  It's great to add a primitive touch to just about any room. Best would be in living rooms, entry ways, kitchens, and bedrooms. Back in college, I've even designed a furniture piece that have antlers as a accent. You must be thinking; "she is crazy/weird if she love to decor with antlers!" Let me tell you, your husband will be very proud! Just try it. Of course, I posted photos to get your inspiration juices going.

Most of these beauty finds are the main essentials of my everyday needs. This would be the Clinique foundation in pore refinement, bare minerals foundation powder (yes, I use both at the same time), EOS lip balm (smells heavenly), and the make up remover. I love those products and have for years. My skin tends to be a bit oily in the T-zone and the pore refining does its job well. The 3 minute miracle deep conditioner was a recent find. Its smells really, really good and made my hair silky soft. I do recommend that you try this product and it was only $2.99 at Target! Lastly, is of course OPI Cajun Shrimp. I absolutely love this color! It's a bit pink, or red, or reddish orange. Whatever color you see it as, it is perfect for summer. Perhaps for fall to!

Thanks for visiting today! I should be back to a normal schedule from now on. Work was owning me for the last 2 and half weeks! Again, thanks for being patient with me. I have missed you!

Love, 

The Catty-Did

Sheesh all I feel that I talk about these days are how far behind I am, work this, work that... Are you getting sick of it as well as I am?

I'm trying to get back in the game of things but (here I go again!) I am so busying with work. Still! I've honestly been working weekends and doing 10 - 12 hour work days. Bare with me, okay? I sure miss doing posts, and sharing my interests with you. Every now and then when I'm working I get side tracked with inspiration to do fun posts on my blog. Get ready for them.

So again, I was hoping that I would be back to regular 8 hour days by now. That still won't happen just yet. And honestly, I don't know how long this will keep up. Crossing my fingers that it'll be til the end of this week.

For now, I put together a little August side tape to listen to. It is music that calms me and helps me get through the long
hours. Or just taking a moment to be in the house alone and listen. I hope you enjoy it!

Thanks for baring with me for the last couple of weeks.

I don't have a post prepared or really any this week. Work has been super, super busy lately that I've had to work literally all weekend. There are a few deadlines to meet for the week and unfortunately have been taking a lot of time to do so. I hope you still stop in and say "hi".  Things (hopefully) should be up and running smoothly later this week. Hope you have a wonderful Monday!
