The Rhythm of a Week

Remember my video a couple years ago:

The Rhythm of a Year

So… December is a right-off… everyone’s focused on tidying up loose ends from the year, preparing for the new one, and parties.

I’ve been drilling down on that theory since then, and think I’ve found the pattern of a week.

The Rhythm of a Week:

Monday – Thursday – a sprint to the finish, nose planted to grindstone
Thursday night – best night of the week always
Friday – tidying up what happened M-Th, and errands. Friday’s can always be accomplished in jogging pants
Friday night – no talking, maybe a quiet and reflective beer
Saturday – Sunday – have fun, then #SundayCleaning to start off the new cycle clean, prepared and ready to attack

Therefore, bring those 2 theories together,
and there’s really only
2 business weeks left in 2013

( I do seem to start to get reflective around now, eh)

Filling You in on the Last 5

Days.

Last week ended a test of blogging – a fresh page everyday, Monday-Friday. Test was successful, that is do-able, confirmed. Unfortunately it was derailed Thursday, when my computer melted and that took proiority (back up running by Friday night). Still.

This was Friday night.

Friday nights often look like this; I just can’t talk anymore, and have to be still and quiet.

That’s next week’s blog on paper.

One of those posts is titled, “The Rhythm of a Week“, because I think I figured it out. And according to it, there’s about 10 days left in 2013, get going.

Saturday hockey game.

The Marlies defeated the someone, and there were lots of laughs.

I know! Blue! Not black.

Been evolving my look. This weekend I peppered my wardrobe with a few Forever 21 sweaters.

The key to cheap clothing: seam-ripper out the zillion tags, trim the ton of loose threads, and forget washing it.

I can’t keep showing up to stuff in jeans and combat boots (even though it’s a very functional, and therefore productive outfit).

Basically though, I’m just girly-fing that look…

… they’re still boots, but with heels, but they’re sneaker heel, like that.

I have got to get planning this years 3rd Annual Keri’s Christmas Extravaganza.

Last year was this, $3,200 in total prizes.

Never again so many prizes, toooo much logistically. Here’s the link, in last year’s video I’d been awake for 50+ hours.

This year I’m thinking one big prize, the end. Leave what you’d wish to win in the comments. I’ve always wanted to give away a car for a week.

Next footage to be edited.

And Niki is swooping in to freshen my hair tomorrow xo, before I leave for the LA Auto Show Tuesday.

Thanks Brennen Demelo Studios.

Have a strong start to your week, and see you online.

 

 

Inside Google Canada

One morning last week, a couple newspapers and my blog were invited to Google.

So flattered and excited; above.

Bright colours, open-concept-fun-atmosphere, the pool table room is where’d I’d be, then oh, let’s have our meeting in this tent.

It was a presentation about their auto division, which is growing fast.

Remember my column about ‘Uber Car Service’? Google just bought them for $250 million.

Learned about how people search and behave while shopping for cars. That’ll be it’s own post, or potentially a ‘Keri on Driving‘ column, still deciding.

See top right? That’s a camera recording our meeting. It was not mentioned, I just happened to notice. Maybe at Google it’s just expected that you’re on camera always.

Best Foursquare checkin ever.
