I’m not dead.

May 15, 2011 | 3:22 pm

So, I need to update. How do you get back into blogging? I used to post everyday or so in high school & college, but now I’m lucky if I get in 5 posts a year.

Anyway, here’s what’s been happening this year (nothing super amazing):

  • I started allergy shots — would rather get stuck 100 times and be done than buying medicine for the rest of my life.
  • We got a new 55″ LCD TV (upgrade from a 32″) and TV stand and it’s awesome.
  • I got my ears pierced for my wedding and can finally wear dangly earrings. I know I’m like the last person in the world to do this :-P
  • I went on a Craigslist spree and got a bookcase, headboard for the guest bedroom, bedroom set for the master bedroom, and 2 console tables.
  • Mike’s brother got married.
  • We got a new kitchen faucet.
  • I joined MyFitnessPal in an attempt to be healthier. If you’re a member, feel free to add me!

That’s about it for now. Time to finish laundry/cleaning and playing The Sims 3!

Paint colors!

Mike and I have finally chosen paint colors! Here’s the palette:

In order from top to bottom, left to right:

  • Belle Grove Aloe Green (to replace the dark green)
  • New Day (for the master bedroom)
  • Moonbeam (for the master bathroom and my office)
  • Serenity (for Mike’s office)
  • Warm Fog (for the first floor room)

Not sure when it’ll all happen yet, but definitely soon.

Goodbye apartment.

Now that moving into my first real house will happen in June (!), it’s hard not to think about decorating and all the organization that can happen. So I’ll probably be posting a lot of pictures/links that I come across and find cool. Like this one:

Fish scale tiles

Fish scale tiles. I mean, how can you not like that?

No more cold nights.

Our oil heat came today — yay!

Edit: But … the stupid pilot light’s out (or something equally annoying). Go figure.

Runs for the Lysol.

*sprays Lysol*

Ew. Mosley (one of Starza’s kitties) just peed on my drawing board for art (luckily there wasn’t anything on it) while I was sitting here. He’s done it a couple times before when I was gone, but while I’m in the room? That’s just gross … his litter box is in the basement, which he does use, so I don’t know why he thinks my room is okay. He doesn’t do anything in Starza’s room or Bevin’s or anywhere else, and it’s starting to annoy me. I love the kitties and hate not letting them in my room (especially with a door that sticks and wobbles when you close it), but that seems to be the only option now *sigh*

Cold already?

Last night it was maybe 50 degrees outside, and I was freezing (with the window closed). I had a comforter on my bed and was wearing sweatpants and a t-shirt, yet every few hours I would wake up shivering (and too lazy to get my fleece blanket). I wonder when we’ll turn on the heat … and don’t wanna think about taking a shower since the window in there is open a crack to let the steam out lol. My point: you can never win with the temperature.

Locked out.

Today I was stupid and forgot my keys before methodology class, and was outside for a good hour before LJ was able to save me (thank god he was available and it wasn’t snowing or something). Note to self: make copies of your house & car keys and put them everywhere.

And wtf — Bevin was freaking here all that time — is he deaf? I knocked until my hands hurt and tried yelling his name and throwing pebbles at his window (most of which didn’t hit ’cause it’s on the second story), yet nothing happened so I assumed he’d walked to class or gotten picked up by a friend or something. Bah.

Jezabelle purrs really loud and has cat breath. Ew. LOL.

And happy belated 27th birthday to Brian — love you mucho, and you’re not old :razz:
