Happy Easter & Apartment Update

Happy Easter!

The Easter Bunny is always very good to my family even when your in your 20's!

It's definitely a nice pick-me-up with everything we have to do with our water-logged apartment.
Brian & I talked more about the wet rugs last night and decided we are going to rip the rugs up and have new rugs installed. This is the only way we can get the stink and wet out of this apartment. So we decided to bite bullet and cough up the expense for new wall to wall carpeting and installation. I doubt we will pull the rugs out today as Brian is still working and we have dinner reservations with his family tonight. My guess is that we will get the rugs out tomorrow, let the concrete and what not dry, and then install the new! I'm really looking forward to escaping my bedroom! EVERYTHING is in here!

So anyway, I hope you and your families have a great Easter Sunday! Enjoy it!

My Apartment Flooded!

As you may know, the east coast had recently been slammed with buckets and buckets of rain. The east coast happens to be where I reside; in the itty bitty state of Rhode Island to be exact. Unfortunately my teeny weeny basement floor apartment fell victim to those aforementioned buckets of rain. My kitchen and living room have flooded. Thankfully my bedroom and bathroom sit higher and therefore remained untouched. I must say we are some of the lucky ones though. We are still wet-vacing the water from the carpet but it is no longer as bad as it was. There is no more standing water in my apartment. The rugs are squishy still though and stink of wet carpet smell. Brian needed to sleep as he has to work 3rd shift tonight so we stopped the wet vacing for the evening. We did place a dehumidifer in the middle of the wet rooms, hopefully this will help to draw out some of the moisture. In good time things will fall back into place. It could of been worse. There are many people whose ENTIRE homes are flooded and declared unliveable. I am one of the lucky ones. Please bear with me as I try to return my living space to normalcy.

Lewd Lyla

I arrived home today around 5:30pm. Since then, Lyla, (my 9lb Chihuahua) has been trying to hump my arm...like woah. We're talking do-or-die type shit. She is a hott mess. When she doesn't get her way with me she barks and yips and cries till my ears are ringing. It's awful. Mind you she doesn't do this to Brian, only me. I feel bad about it too since Brian works a few jobs, one shift being 3rd. So typically when he has to work the night, he will go to sleep after dinner for a few hours. I lie, try more like 30 minutes as it takes Lyla a looong while to calm down and give up.

We've been told by our vet that Lyla's horn-dog behavior may or may not cease after she is "fixed." It's most likely a mix of a hankering to get laid and behavioral (dominance) issues.

So either way, I'm screwed. No pun intended.

There is nothing pleasant about being raped by a dog. Trust me. I have the scars to prove it.

R.I.P My Dear Freezer

My freezer is toast. Ka-put, done-zo, dead. Interestingly enough (and thankfully) the refridgerator part of this lovely appliance continues to keep on truckin'. Not having a freezer is tough on me as I typically love to stock up on items in the Freezer aisle, especially vegetables. We had a pretty hefty stock on meats and such in there as well when it finally kicked the can, so we did end up having to through a lot of food (and money) away! Could of been worse I suppose, but still. We (boyfriend & I) have begun new fridge shopping but haven't gotten very far. Personally, I wanted to run out and get a brand-y new one the second I noticed its lack of life but the boy wanted to wait. So that is what we do...wait. Maybe we are waiting for the WHOLE fridge to croak? I surely hope not. I do miss my freezer...and its only been a week! GRRRR!

Let's Get This Party Started!

My first post!! WOOO! I am lying to you. Technically this is not my first blog post, ever. I do have other blogs as well. Unfortunately, I have been a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad blogger as of late(on those other blogs). I vow to be a better blogger here. I think my issue is this, my other blogs have clear direct focuses which confines what I can rant and rave about. One blog is dedicated to saving money, coupons, sales, freebies, giveaways, etc. The other a royal failure...my weightloss blog. I will eventually revive both of them, but need something else in the meantime. That is where this space comes in...a place with no *real* direction...a little bit of everthing! Let me know if you would like to read about anything in particular and I'll see what I can do! Happy Reading!
