I like you taking some initiative, but this is the wrong road. Only MTV show allowed is Jersey Shore.
Next time, try anything on HGTV.

Dammit this is why you don't look at houses early
Because one you reaaaallly want drops 10k and you know it won’t be around when you’re actually ready to buy.
I want a running buddy
Even though I hate every second that I’m running, nothing gets me in shape faster than running. However, all of my running buddies from years past have quit on me. They hate it too much to continue. Alex gets off of work too late and he’s insane and trains for half marathons for fun. No thank you! I can’t do it alone, I need a buddy to motivate me to run on days when my couch...
My Cat From Hell
We were about to head out Saturday evening to partake in a few frosty beverages when the downpour began. We began browsing the TV lineup to find something to entertain us for 30 minutes while we waited out the storm. Enter discovering the greatest show of my life, My Cat From Hell.
Let me take this moment to introduce you to Jackson Galaxy.
The self proclaimed “cat daddy” gives...
Blueberry cobbler help
We all know I’m on a budget, I’ve blogged that to death. Alex has been told V-Day will be low key (which it always should be, because let’s be honest it’s a made up holiday. But if it means I get flowers, I’m all for this silly made up holiday.). So I’ve gotten him some little gifts, but I’m also making him a nice dinner so we don’t go out and...
M&M did the weenie wiggle
The rest of the commercials can go home
No I'm not getting married...
But my Mom randomly brought up the other day that she still had her old wedding dress that I could use for my wedding someday.
I immediately told her YEA RIGHT like that would fit, because my Momma has always told us that before popping out us kids she was 5’9 and 115lbs.
I got my Mom’s height. I did not get her body type.
She told me that she was a little heavier at her wedding...

Did I tell ya I made homemade sauce and meatballs...
Making my Italian roots proud! Recipe adopted from here (as in I doubled the onion, garlic, and oregano. No bland sauce in this household! Also I made it in a crockpot.). It was out of this world amazing!
Is anyone else suddenly unable to reblog and write...

Can we discuss a brief excerpt from my monthly...
With four highly fertile planets in your fifth house of pregnancy and birth, you have the single best month of the year to try for conception or, if you are pregnant (or your partner is) and near term, to welcome a baby into your family.
This, along with certain BC pills being recalled is a sign from the gods that I should avoid booty all month long.

I even came in under budget both weeks!
26+ to go. Sigh. Down-payment here we come!

Re: Last night's Bachelor
*spoilers*
Ben, as if I could hate you more. I considered bribing our Bachelor tourney host to let me put Jennifer in my top 4. She was the sweetest and most NORMAL girl I think I’ve ever seen on the show. And you go and kick her off. Damn you to hell.
However, you solidified my choice for winner, as you’re obviously only thinking with your little head. I hope you take a hair...

This weekend was for come-to-jesus talks about...
See…we were met with some unexpected financial news. Ever since I graduated from college, I’ve been sending my parents money every month to tuck away in savings. Perhaps for a car, perhaps for a wedding, or perhaps for a down payment on a house. Enter lots of frustrated and angry tears when we found out that ol’ GB surgery ate up ALL of it, and then some. Yep, 5 years of...
Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler Are Expecting!
annoying
elizabethanne:
people who say “I hate the snow. I hope it doesn’t snow.” You live in the north east. It is winter. It is going to snow at some point. If you don’t like it, move to the south.
But be prepared that when you move to the south and it get’s cold, everyone and their mother will say “you should be used to this, you’re from the north.”
Which is almost as...

[boys keep scrolling down your dash]
Because obviously I can’t make decisions without consulting all of you first, even when it involves my uterus. And google only brings up horror stories.
I’m starting to lean more and more towards an IUD (and finding a new gyno because mine refuses to even talk about allowing me to get one). I’m horrible about remembering to take the pill,...

ibroughtyousometoast:
You know what I WANT to do when I get home? Taxes. Give me that money back. Momma needs to book a mini vacation. Too bad I’m still missing 2 of my W2s. At what point can I complain to the companies?
What I've learned today...
All of you northerners are invited to my future wedding. Who knew I was such a southern cheapo!
re: Wedding gift etiquette?
Wedding gift etiquette?
I’m surprised to learn HOW DIFFERENT people are in their views on what’s appropriate and what’s not in terms of wedding gifts.
So I ask you Tumblr, how much do you spend on a wedding gift if …
You’re attending solo
You’re attending with a date
You’ve traveled for the wedding (spent money on airfare & hotel)
You’re in the wedding and have...

Today, in housing questions...
How long did the process take you from start to finish? From meeting your realtor to unloading moving boxes into your new home.
We have our goal move in date. But I’m starting to think we’re starting the process a little early. What if we fall in love with a house this month? I understand A LOT of snags can occur, but we’re not ready to sign papers yet.
Help?

I realize I’m extremely lucky to be buying in probably the best market I’ll ever see in my life, and in a city with crazy low housing prices.
#1 priority is location. I’m only looking in Raleigh. And only looking in a few specific areas (for NC tumblrs, this includes 5 points, Oberlin/Cameron Village, North Hills, and Blueridge/Glen Eden part of the Crabtree region). ...

You know how newly engaged/pregs bloggers promise their blog wont turn into a wedding/baby blog? And 80% of the time they fail at that promise, but you (mostly) don’t mind because you love them and it’s fun to learn about the process through them?
I will make no such promise. Look forward to lots of posts about what I’m sure will be a roller coaster process of buying my first...

Making my Italian roots proud
Non-stolen pictures would have happened, but the boys gobbled them up (guilty as well).
Used this recipe, very awesome and easy (Toast you can make it in a slow cooker). I like my sauce less sweet and more salty, so I made some adjustments after tasting. But still would highly recommend!
I workout to justify eating crunch-wrap supremes,...
