Hello Friends, Haven’t posted in forever and a day! P is officially studying to take the LSAT, so I no longer have a life. I work all day and come home to cook, clean, and craft (the 3 C’s of the rest of my 2012!). We’re working hard to save money to pay for Law […]

Lazy Day + Embroidery

by

Hello! Been busy busy renovating our bathroom… Yes, we started in May. No, it’s not that big of a bathroom. Last night we chilled and listened to The National on P’s record player. I did some crappy embroidery! In comparison to the pillow I made last month… I love embroidering. And crafting. I’m looking for […]

Has it really been a year?!

by

Cue cheesy line: Sometimes it feels hard to believe that it’s already been a year together. Oh, don’t get me wrong, it hasn’t been a cake walk! We fight, we cry (well mostly I cry), but these things have only brought us closer together. Yep, behind closed doors we’re that mushy-lovely-dovey couple. In public, we […]

Exciting times

by

I lounge on the couch, while P flops uncomfortably around the living room. Both of us are glued to our laptops, busily comparing and updating our LinkedIn profiles and running search after search on SimplyHired. Big changes are coming, but things are still up in the air. Let’s just say, we’re working even harder on […]

Curtains!

by

Finally got around to putting up curtains! Got to use the power drill all by myself, and now working on hemming the curtain up. Just painted the wall, thus the exposed outlet. Luckily, I had help from these two studs! More to come! ~M~

Home update!

by

Well, a month after we started redoing our bathroom, we still aren’t done! Yup, life happened and the renovation was put on hold. I would post a pic, but it’s painful to look at. SO messy! The living room is about 70% painted (still trying to get rid of the green that pervades EVERY corner […]

To the Newlyweds

by

I’m sure I’m going to come back to this post and add more on later, but I really think the number one thing that all newlyweds should be told (because they aren’t being told it now) is this: The first couple months can be very hard. Don’t set unreasonable expectations for your spouse post-nuptials. You […]

Best birthday.

by

Best birthday…and it hasn’t even happened yet! Birthday is coming up & P is taking me on a vacation AND…drumroll please… We’re redoing the bathroom!!! Yup, it’s actually happening! First tile, then vanity (possibly an IKEA hack), and more. I’m on cloud nine. Happy Monday, M

Cats = Training for Children

by

*sigh* We have two cats now. Koshka is our big Russian Blue mix (her name means “cat” in Russian, clever aren’t we?). Sterling Archer is our new little boy. He certainly lives up to his namesake; we now have to hide all paper towel and toilet paper rolls so he won’t shred them while we’re […]
