For-eh-va

The title of this post is supposed to make you think of The Sandlot. I hope that was effective. I know that is has been about 4 months since my last post. In blog world that is like a million years. In five bullet points our less I will try to sum up my life over the last million years and maybe you will forgive me:
* I got a new job (yay!)
* That job is at a University which means I get to start my free master's program soon...which means I have had to spend time preparing/researching which one to choose before I started
* Mr. Z started his life as a real student doctor in a clinic working on real patients. Which is a huge improvement from this creepy thing:

* I don't know why I can never come up with five things, but trust me those three took a lot of time. Okay.

That being said I have some things to update you on. But first a story. 

Once upon a time when this Housewife was just a small princess she used to watch a show called Rescue 9-1-1. This show often had scary stories about real life people who's houses burned down from leaving a candle lit or a Christmas lit tree gone bad. Because of this Princess Housewife has one (of many) irrational fears of her house burning down from some odd ball house disaster. Que Wednesday night. 

Princess Housewife, "Husband I smell something burning! What is it!? We are going to die!"

Husband and Princess Housewife scramble around the small apartment attempting to find the source of burning smell. Princess Housewife notices smoke coming out of the dish washer. In the end, the travel mug lid never had a chance:

You think I would have learned my lesson when only a few months prior we lost two spoons in the same tragic situation:

So now that it has officially been one year and one month since we moved into the apartment I love I can now share decorating pictures with you! It has taken me a long time to get it together okay!

First the kitchen, color scheme inspiration for most of the house:

OoOoO cute. Reds and blacks and whites. 

Welcome to my living room and dining room:

Aaaannnnd the delightfully decorated bedroom:

The End. To conclude this lovely random blog, it was Mr. Z's bday this week:

I cannot take credit for the cake but I can take credit for the TEE LIGHT birthday candles. Because only a sophisticated housewife would have REAL ones.

Things

I promise I think about this blog more than I POST on this blog (the opposite of how I want life to be going) and the PROOF is archived in the pictures I take with my phone. Pretty much once a week I think-Hey! That could go in my blog! *snap snap*. So, here are the things that have been in my phone for the past month (MAYBE more...... ) :

Thing 1. One day I was at the grocery store and when I was in the face wash isle I thought - gosh my pores are gross and big. I will buy a $3.00 weird mask-in-a-pouch! This is totally going to solve my problem, and I DO NOT want need a fancy schamcy spa facial this will be perfect!

Don't worry, best $3.00 I have ever spent to make myself look like a serial killer. 

Thing 2.  Charlie was neutered last weekend. The puppy mom in me had the hardest time bringing him home in that cone. He looked so pathetic. 

At first, he didn't know what to do with it. We would find him staring at walls because he didn't think he could move. Then, when he started to move he would hit the cone on the walls and the couch. Zero depth perception. It would totally freak him out. He has had to where the cone all week and he is starting to get used to it. He is starting to get used to it. And also, his bed is now his new favorite toy.

Thing 3. Look how pretty my tupperware cabinet is. 

Thing 4. I made LASAGNA last night. The only way a person like me knows how. Crockpot style. AKA throw things in and turn it on. Instant dinner. But here are some questions I have about this particular meal. 

-Eggplant. Why is it so weird? I guess before last night I have NEVER prepared and/or touched eggplant. There were no seeds. It kinda freaked me out. Seems like it NEEDS seeds. 

-Parsley. I don't know what parsley is supposed to look like. Whenever a recipe calls for something green and leafy (besides lettuce) it takes me like HOURS to find it in the grocery store. The only thing I could find was freaking parsley in a tube.  Is this even normal?

-Mess. WHY does it look like a bomb went off in my kitchen whenever I try to make dinner that didn't come in a box!? There has to be a solution to this I do not know about. 

Thing 4. Haha,... I forgot how many "things" I have on this post....already.  Thing 5. I have 5 things to talk about! Do you know how LONG it took me to write this post? 

Add one laptop with a dead battery to one puppy who decides he needs to go out ever 5 minutes AND jump on me and my dead battery laptop = 2 hours. Martha Stewart could probably get 5 things on her blog in 5 minutes. And it would be all cute and teal and titled, "5 ways to get 5 things on your blog in 5 minutes."

Mine is just titled, "Things".....yea.
