So last night we ventured into cleaning our trash can of an apartment.

For real, it was bad, you couldn’t even see the floor. It only took us two and a half hours, and we were might pleased with ourselves when we were done that we even took pictures..the “before” pictures were way too grotesque to post, so you’ll just have to take our word for it!

Spring Cleaning

The above pic is what we wished our closet looked like!

 I think we might try and tackle cleaning and organizing our closet this weekend.

This is how we came to the conclusion we should do this:

We had to pick up a little bit yesterday because we were so instructed by our apartment manager, the maintenance man was coming.  Now we’ll be the first to admit that we have entirely too many clothes, most of which we really don’t wear.  So we have this system, that works quite nicely actually.  We pick out approximately 20-30 items that we may want to wear that week and remove them from abyss (aka, closet).  We spread them out in the hallway, that way we can find what we want easier for that week.  Well, the problem occurred when we had to “pick up” for the maintenance man, because that meant removing the clothes from our hallway and returning them to the abyss.  Seriously, when clothes go in there, you don’t see them again for months.  So we come up with this plan to put the pre-selected weeks clothes in the dryer to avoid losing them. 

Worked pretty well, but we were thinking about it this morning and decided that no one in their right minds puts clothes in the dryer for the soul purpose of not losing them in their closet.  And being of right-minded young women, we’re gonna try and fix this.

We’ll let ya know how it goes.

The Lovely, The Incredible..Blizzard of 08!

What happens when you’re snowed in from Friday afternoon till Sunday afternoon?

Answer: You get fat

Why you ask, well..because you have nothing better to do than eat!  We started out good, but 3 movies, 5 hours of trashy television, one sugar free cake (we don’t recommend), and about 6 magazines later there simply wasn’t anything left for us to do!

 So, about 5pm on Saturday we were having mad cinnamon roll cravings (our advice:don’t ever start, cuz once you do there’s no stopping!) so we decided we would venture out to our local Kroger.  Bad idea.  We got stuck at the top of our small hill for approcimately 36 minutes.  Just picture alot of vrooming and smoke and you can pretty much get the picture.  At one point I even got out to give a little push, but to no avail. 

When we finally broke free we realized that we probably shouldn’t be out on the road..it was a teeny bit dangerous.  For this one, just picture a few slippity slides and spinning outs, and then driving with the windows down because wipers with ice on them really do no good at all. Then Kim called to inform us we would probably be receiving a ticket soon since we were on a level 3 and all.

We survived though & we even got our cinnamon rolls.

Lastly, we would just like to thank our  proactive and hardworking apartment community for plowing our developement in a timely manner just like they said they would…NOT!

Icy Cars

We have recently gotten in the habit of going downstairs and starting our cars approximately 15 minutes before we leave to avoid having to actually get the scraper out and do any work.

We did this today, but it didn’t go quite as well.  Britt and I walked downstairs and got in our cars at the same time.  I went to turn my wipers on to wipe away the snow residue only to find out that my wipers were frozen to the windshield.  I looked over and Brittany was having the same issue.  I certainly hope no one was watching us, because we both looked retarded.  We both got out and were banging at our windshields while complaining loudly. I think Britt almost broke hers off cuz she got a little carried away with the pulling and the banging of the helpless little wipers. Anyways, it wasn’t fun.

On another note, I was singing to myself in the car, just jammin’ away when I happened to look over and see someone laughing hysterically and making fun of me….it was Brittany. Like she hasn’t done that before anyways.

All this to say that we are SO OVER winter, and snow, and ice. Thanks.
