Home Is

I’ve been rather stressed lately, dealing with some personal issues at home, so I got this from Nicole over at BusyGirl :) If you haven’t already, you should go check her out.

A- My AIR CONDITIONER is set on: 18°C. In my bedroom only. It is FREEZING in there and I love it. No more miserable summers!

B- My BEDROOM theme is: There is no theme. The walls are white, the comforter is beige and my curtains are gray-ish brown and are too big. I guess “A Mess” is the theme of my bedroom.

C- The CAR in the garage is: None existent. We don’t have cars in our garage, just boxes upon boxes of stuff. We do have a Ford F150 and a Ford Focus in the driveway though.

D- My DESK looks: Neat and tidy, just the way I like it!

E- The EXACT time I wake up daily is: 8:45 a.m. is when my alarm goes off.

F- The FIRST thing I wash in the shower is: My hair. Always!

G- My GARAGE is filled with: Boxes of junk, other people’s boxes of junk, tools, seasonal tools, empty bottles. The usual!

H- My HOME is: Not even mine.

I- If you peeked INSIDE my bathroom you’d see: The toilet. Srsly. It’s right there by the door and it’s probably the first thing you’d see if the door was ajar. If not, it would be the window.

J- My favorite JUICE is: Sunripe Mango Pear juice. Sooo good :)

K- The best part of my KITCHEN is: My counter top appliances, minus the stupid microwave/toaster combo. You can’t toast while microwaving! Multitasking fail.

L- The LAST person who visited my home was: The Roommate’s girlfriend (aka C!) I suppose. Or my dad.

M- The last piece of MAIL for me was: My Cosmo magazine! I think I’m too deep in a relationship for any of their crazy advice, but it’s hilarious to read.

N- My NEIGHBOURS think I’m: A crazy Asian driver. Or deaf since my music in my car is too loud. I don’t actually talk to my neighbours.

O- If you OPENED my fridge you’d see: Milk, salad dressing, leftovers, veggies. We eat relatively healthy for three 20-somethings!

P- My last house PARTY was: Probably Kyle’s birthday back in February.

Q- A QUICK meal I like to fix is: Potstickers and Rice. Can’t go wrong with it since it’s a favourite.

R- My favorite ROOM of the house is: Now that I have an air conditioner in it, my bedroom.

S- The SHAMPOO brand I use is: Dove. I used to have the Cool Moisture shampoo & conditioner, but I changed it up to Beautiful Care. (Or at least I think that’s what it’s called)

T- My largest TELEVISION is: I have no idea how big our TV is. I think it’s a 38″? Maybe bigger?

U- UNDER my bed you will find: A lot of doggy hair tumbleweeds and some random empty boxes.

V- The last time I VACUUMED was: Last Friday.

W- Looking out my WINDOW I see: Out front: The neighbours across the street. Out back: Costco.

X- I wish I had X-TRA: Money because I’d buy my own house.

Y- My YARD is: Good enough for my two doggies.

Z- ZZZZZZZ My bedtime is: 11pm usually, unless there’s something really good on TV.

Happy Thursday! The weekend is almost here :)

The B Word

Posted in Family, Growing Up, Home, Kara and Kyle, Life by

Kyle and I have been really antsy lately trying to save up enough money for a down payment for a house. We’re so close but because I’m not working full-time and Kyle’s work has been on/off. We actually had a really great conversation with his aunt and uncle about buying houses and such the other day and they always have great advice and information for us, more than our own parents.

After Kyle and I left their place, Kyle asked me in how many years I’d like to start having babies. BABIES. He’s been so apprehensive about having kids and to have him ask me really made my day. He asked me because of the fact that our first house would ideally  be the place where we start our family.

Anyway, I’m glad that Kyle has warmed up to the idea of having kids. He didn’t want to for the longest time, mostly because he was afraid of being like his father. Hearing him say the B word really made my day. And the fact that he didn’t sound nervous when I told him I’d like to start having kids in three years was even more assuring.

Did/do you have a “x-year plan” for kids? Did it follow through as planned? And are all guys apprehensive about having kids?

Victoria Day Vlog

Posted in Fail, Home, Kara and Kyle, Vlog by

At first I thought about just taking a day off of blogging because today is a holiday here in Canada, but then I thought I’d try my hand at my very first vlog! Oh the humanity!

As I may or may not have mentioned in the past, I have the ugliest furniture known to mankind. It’s so fugly but I can’t get rid of it because it’s Kyle’s mom’s. Yay to having a place to live, boo to not being able to use my own furniture.

Kyle and I actually have out own couch and chair in the basement, but we’ve never bothered to bring it upstairs because we were afraid of Kyle’s cat (when it was alive) getting hair all over it. (I’m somewhat allergic)

Anyway, I present to you my very first vlog!

Hope you enjoyed the delightful insight into my humble abode! I hope all my Canadian readers had an awesome May Long Weekend and that my US readers have a good one coming up! :)

Do YOU have a piece of furniture that you’re ashamed to show?
