You gotta love an apartment so tiny cozy that you can sweep the entire space without unplugging the vacuum even once! And I’ve found that it doesn’t matter which outlet you plug it into, it’s still effective -whether it be the outlet by the front door, the “master bedroom” (term used VERY loosely), or […]
There were rumblings last night when I got home from work about the idea of heading to Ikea today. Rumblings that–much to my chagrin–turned into reality. Liz had commented that there were some areas that needed some finishing touches so that we could be settled into the apartment. But like, all the way settled in. […]
Liz has a real knack for interior design. Whether she’ll admit it or not. With the new apartment, we’ve had to basically start over on furnishings because of the different look and feel of the apartment (the other place was very industrial chic). This has resulted in many painful trips to Ikea, among other places.

And that’s exactly the goal that we have in mind. We have spent almost every evening since sorting through all of our belongings, dividing […]
Taco Sauce. Balsamic Vinaigrette. Chocolate Syrup. Mayonnaise. Kethcup. Mustard. Dijon Honey Mustard. Strawberry Syrup. Jim Beam Steak Sauce. Strawberry Preserves. I could go on.
Earlier today, I awoke hungry. I really wanted McDonald’s breakfast, but there was a little marathon going on in our neck of the woods that had the roads shut down. I first […]
I’m not sure how publicized our suspected mold infestation was a few weeks back, so I figured that I’d recount the incident here to clear the air once and for all. Liz and I were sure that we had mold in our apartment. Her allergies had been really intense for the last few weeks. More […]
