What's The Haps?!

So what’s been happening you ask? Well I’m going to tell you!! This is likely to be a long post but I know you’ll make it through!

I’m all moved to my new apartment! And I love it!! I can’t believe how much better I’m doing at my house work now that I don’t loathe where I live! I think Kiefer doesn’t really like not having his little house anymore but he’ll soldier on. And so far so good on the roommate situation! I feel very good about my new living situation!

I’ve been attempting to be more domestic lately. Mostly after discovering that I have like 4 buckets of flour in my storage I decided it was high time I actually used it. I made zucchini bread for the very 1st time!

All my provisions


I soon discovered that I no longer own a cheese grater. I’m not quite sure what happened to it but don’t fret I busted out my food processor which I rarely use and since I rarely use it I’m not even sure what blades & parts need to be used for what. So the 1st zucchini I put through to be shredded turned out to be mush since I had the wrong attachment on it. Well what can ya do?! I sorted myself out & got it working.
Ready for the oven


Ta-dah!! It turned out fabulously & I am very impressed with myself!



Did you know that it was my birthday a couple weeks ago & that I am now 31 years of age?! True story-why would I make that up?! Yikes! That sounds so much older than 30. When you’re 30 it’s a big deal & it’s a big time birthday but when you hit 31 it’s just getting old! And I felt it. And let everyone around me know I felt it! I had a big hoopla for my 30th last year so I decided this year to make it a little more low key but still it was a really fun birthday. 1st we stuffed our fat faces at Craigos pizza buffet & even I had soda to drink! Tone down the crazy partying I know!!

Me & Sherri

After stuffing our fat faces we went back to my new house for cake & ice cream (homemade by Lisa! Delish!!) and more merriment.

Me & Matty



And even Matty, Chalise & Joelyn got me a new little desk for my computer! It’s so cute & I love it! And even Matty (and a couple other peeps) put it together for me!
It was a delightful celebration.










my desk!





Happy birthday to me!! I’m officially in my 30’s!!

So have you caught on to this coupon craze? I’ve heard people talk about it & all the cheap & sometimes free stuff they end up getting. It doesn’t make any sense to me? How are you getting free stuff? So my mom is WAY into it now so I decided Chalise & I needed a tutorial as we are all about cutting costs (hello that’s why we’re roommates now) so we tagged along for one of her shopping adventures. IT IS STRESSFUL! You really gotta know what you’re doing & I knew we were doomed when my mom said we needed a basic knowledge of math! Oh great! We made our 1st coupon purchases & got all this for only $6.63!! What the!? How did that happen!?



oh you can see part of my fabulous new kitchen which I love!!

So we’ll be getting better acquainted with this little fad! Times are tough people!

Ok I think that’s what’s going on here. I’m trying to do better at my blogging but no promises!
