Food prep, and organizing

I’ve been de-cluttering our apartment and getting rid of things that we just don’t need, making our space here more comfortable and stress free. So far I’ve tackled the living room (with a new addition to a desk which you’ll see soon!).

Here’s my old desk:desk

Then I’ve moved onto the bedroom cleaning up the closet:top-of-closet

And also floor space, adding an Expedit IKEA book case to store some things:ikea-bookcase

Next up, the kitchen space.

As I stated yesterday I am leaving for Newfoundland and that I was going to prep the Boyf with some food so he wouldn’t have to fend for himself making just meat and potatoes. I was in the hot kitchen last night making: macaroni and cheese, creamy chicken spaghetti, chicken teriyaki stir fry with rice…food-prep

and blueberry muffins. That should tie him  over. Spoiled or what? #BestGirlfriendOfTheYear.blueberry-muffins

So that means he needs a microwave to heat things up or defrost them from the freezer. It also doesn’t help that our microwave is on its way out. So we’re going to have to look into getting some microwave parts to try and fix it ourselves. Or some handyman to do it for us. Whichever.

It’s easy to get microwave replacement parts since all you do is just type in whatever you need, depending on your brand of course. Have you ever had to fix an appliance before?

Random Tuesday thoughts

Agh! I don’t have any blog posts planned out for the week, so I’m sitting down here this morning going to tell you all about my week and last night.

I bought a bunch of stuff at Ikea last week when my boyf was in the states for a few races. I had to retrieve him the other night 50 minutes away and get on three highways in total. I’m telling ya, I’m becoming the real slick driver here in Ontario. I guess the GPS had something to do with it too. Coming up in July I have to renew my license, and get a new picture taken. Also probably shop around at the same time for auto insurance quotes burlington nc.

11-bucks-groceriesOut of the $10.89 I spent on  groceries last night. Maple leaf coupons totally had something to do with it ;)

Last night he put one of the two items together, a bookcase for myself in the bedroom. I had planned on using it for just shoes, but it’s sort of smaller than I anticipated. It’s tall, with 8 cubbies, but not sure if all my shoes will fit. We also had a debate as to whether or not it should stand up straight (his idea) or lay horizontally to make it look much “cooler” (I always have the cool ideas). We finally decided on having it vertical just because it won’t use up so much floor space.

I’m counting down the sleeps until I head home to Newfoundland. It’s just me going home on this trip, so I’ve been planning out meals for the Boyf while I’m away. Cooking in advance and all that sweet girlfriend stuff.

I’m wearing a maxi dress today. Want to see? Not sure what I think about it, but I’m wearin it!

Oh! I filmed another YouTube video. Watch it if you want:

Each Friday I sit at my computer and put up the outfit’s of the work week. But I’m a multitasker when I do that. Got my breakfast ready and waiting to eat while I edit.
