1.) I am busy moving into my house (duh, you've already heard that)
2.) I am too
3.) I seriously can't think of anything in the world worth talking about!! Everyone else is so good and I am jealous... :(
4.) I would rather spend my time reading others, or changing my layout, or surfing the web... lame I know but at night after a day of work and a night of house stuff, that is about all I am up to. Therefore, the laundry sits unfolded and the food sits in the fridge rotting.
Ok, I feel like I need to explain myself with this one. We have the worst time eating the food that we buy! And by we I mean me because I seriously have great intentions to eat healthy but when it comes down to it, I end up throwing about half of it away because it has gone bad. And my attempts are decent!! The problem is that we are NEVER home to eat it, and when we are, we also have left overs to eat or we just can't keep up. So then I buy less food, and we run out immediately resulting in me just buying more the next day=too much grocery shopping for this girl.
HOW DO I SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. I am so sick of throwing stuff away, and with only two of us (one that will not eat healthy food unless absolutely starving or it is already prepared in front of him) it is so easy for it to just sit there... and rot away my hard earned money. Did I say hard earned? It is hard for me to sit at an office for 8 hrs, so yes, hard earned. Can we have some customer's soon?
On a happier note, I am so excited to move into this house of ours. His parents are helping with the flooring while I attempt to pack (overwhelming, if you have tips please share). Hopefully we will be moving in within a couple of weeks. My biggest obstacle is that we aren't going to be using the bottom level until later since it isn't finished. This means that I have to cram all of it upstairs in an organized fashion so that we can still find what we need and make that floor feel like home. I don't know what I am doing, other than walking around in circles at the apartment. Seriously, that is all I do. Don't tell Mike... I feel like a failure. When I see everything that needs to be packed up... I panic. I am the worst "get overwhelmed and quit" girl out there, I am pretty sure. I think therapy might help? No, it's not that bad but seriously... motivation would help.
I sound so negative...ignore that and insert a big smiley face - even if it's cold out it's not winter!! I like winter, but I'm ready for spring. and then summer!
CONGRATS TO MY SISTER FOR GETTING THE INTERNSHIP IN CALIFORNIA!!! Now how can I afford to go VISIT my baby sister??? Will have to think of something....maybe selling my body to research? Who knows.
Oh here is some of my advice.....For the food going bad, I would suggest some of those food bags. I have never personally used them but I hear they do wonders.
ReplyDeleteFor the packing...take it one step at a time. I have moved many times and I feel the same way you do each and everytime. Just start by doing one thing at a time. Say on corner of a room, on cupboard in the bathroom, etc. Just start small.
I am all for giving up the goods for some medical research if it gives me some money. So Pracs it up.
Hope this helps!
Hey Mrs. Deyle!
ReplyDeleteFor the healthy food thing, I find it the easiest to cut veggies and fruits up into usable pieces right away, so you can just throw them into lunches or different dishes you are making. I throw extra veggies into almost everything I make. I especially love cooking them (mushrooms, onions, peppers, etc..) with a bit of olive oil and putting them on sandwiches. I also make sure to serve some kind of fruit with every meal I make- just like an orange or apple on the side, it doesn't matter what kind it is. Seems like fruit goes with everything, and now I can't imagine my meals without some kind of fruit. Just a few ideas :)
On another note- I'm so jealous you got a house! Dillon and I are planning to start looking in 12-18 months... so exciting! Good luck with it; I'm a terrible packer too. It really does get overwhelming!
I miss you!!

Thanks ladies!!! Very good advice.
ReplyDeleteJeana - I really should get food bags. Especially for bananas... I seriously throw them away weekly without exceptions.
Kasey - you'll have to come over once we're moved in!! I can't wait to see what you guys end up with when you start looking. There are soooo many options! It's fun to see all the different style houses though. :) Glad to see you on here! Your turn to blog...
