Cleaning Machine

So it has been my spring break this week and I decided to do some major deep cleaning. I'm pretty sure this apartment has never really been cleaned, maybe swept here and there... It's just so gross and old. And in a basement... Anywho. I wasn't messin' around. I scrubbed the tile grout with a tooth brush, and a whole lotta bleach. But the floors looks amazing now! And I even painted the baseboards. This is a big deal for me. I felt like I was on HGTV or something. They were this nasty tan color and were so scraped up and dirty. But now look at them!

Before...

After!!

This was the kinda cleaning that would make my momma proud. So great! I feel so productive and so much happier being in a clean home!

Oh man I gotta tell you what I made for dinner tonight. I made baked southwest egg rolls with creamy chipotle dipping sauce. They were so yummy. Here is the link. It did involve a lot of chopping of veggies. Which takes quite a bit of time when you are using a $20 knife! I will show you the picture to tempt you even further :)

Brain Fry

My brain is not working very well lately. I feel like I have a 5 second delay to everything. The past two weeks have been so stressful because of school and midterms and I am sooooooo looking forward to next weekend. I get to fly to Long Beach and visit my sissy and my dearest brother-in-law for 5 whole days and bask in the warm sunlight! It's going to be glorious. Cannot wait to get out of the snow. Not like its really been snowing that much... but it has been chilly. And I hate being cold. hate hate hate. And not being with Dallas for 5 days is going to be so strange. He was gone for one night in Las Vegas for a work trip last month and it felt like he was gone for half a week!

So the situation with my cat hogging the pillow has become much much worse. He thinks that it is his pillow. And he has such a way of sneaking onto it that by the time I notice he is all situated and adorably comfortable... I tried to persuade him onto a different pillow and that worked for most of the night, but when I woke up he was spooning the top of my head again. I'm sure you all think I'm crazy for not just hitting him or something, but you just haven't SEEN how cute he looks, and how cozy! I would be so upset if someone pushed me off the bed when I was as comfy cozy as he was. I will try to snatch a picture so you can all understand the cuteness. He really loves that pillow! There was one morning where every time my alarm went off (I hit snooze like a bagillion times every morning so it goes off a lot) I would pull him down next to me and then fall back asleep and when I woke up to the alarm again he was right on top of my head again! This repeated itself about 7 times until I finally just decided to get out of bed.

That kitty cat.
