Lone Wolf.

For how chatty I am and with this new quest for fame, you would think I LOVE going out and being surrounded by people. FALSE. I'd much prefer staying in, far away from people, snuggling my kitten cat babies. Meow Meow is purring in my lap as I type. I don't get a lot of time alone. Especially, this week. I need time for me when I am absolutely SURE no one will disrupt me as I sing, clean, rearrange, make shit, internet and talk to my kitties... I coo at my cats.
I am going to die the death of a spinster. Sigh. Moo will probably eat my corpse.
I couldn't be more excited because today I am going to make dog biscuits and dye some fabrics. All by my lonesome. Fuck yes! Insert maniacal cackle here.

.

Garbage.

          Mickey is makin' a face because he is disgusted that he has to sleep on top of Mama's crap! 
    
The past two days I have found two chairs in need of fixin' in an alley. What's that you say? I'm the bomb? You're right.
I worked 68 hours this week but next week I only work 60 and I have the weekend off! To go camping! Yucko. I pretty much HATE camping but its my friends 30th birthday and him and his girl love nature. I just hope to get wasted and possibly groped near a tree.
I need to get my hair done so bad...I haven't any time! I might have to color it myself again. I got some grey's ya'll. I was the receiver of grey hairs for my 25th birthday. Another reason why I don't believe in the God.
Anyhoo, I should sign off cuz the crib is a MESS. As is my life.
Smooches! 

He said YES.

Ol' Rajiv the landlord said I COULD paint "some of tha rooms" which I turned in my head to "all of the rooms". Boner city. Population: Me.
I cannot wait!
Also, Scotty will be here Thursday to talk about our roommate sitch.
Secret Spillage: I have a crush on one of my coworkers.

Whoa. Moo is trippin on some acid. But not that mushroom tea that makes you eat people.

View from the Couch.

Uh. Found my camera battery charger. It was pretty much in front of my Jalapeño chip eating face the whole time.
Here are some pictures of what I have been doing BESIDES eating Jalapeño chips and feeling sorry for myself.
Got rid of faux bois crap tv stand. Using Ikea TV stand as a TV stand. It was formerly being used as coffee table. So I most def need a new coffee table! Don't fail me Craigslist!  Meow Meow is just the cutest, isn't she?The pile of shiz next to kitchen cart is all donations, babes. You can really see the wall colors. Try not to puke. Why did my Grandma give me another TV when I don't watch television? I now own three TV's. Also, these were all taken by me as I lay on the couch. Can't move.

Dreamy homes.

As I clean, organize and redecorate I have been internetting for inspiration. All the blogs I read have been super helpful.
Here is a list of me faves. There are a TON more I look at but I am the laziest of wanna be bloggers..

Meow Meow is a dirty butter licker.

Today, I felt like cooking. I have been eating sandwiches and drinking coffee for way too long. I will always love a sandwich. I spied a recipe for Vegetarian Shepard's Pie a long time ago and have wanted to make it. I love me some Shepard's pie. I used to be a Vegetarian for years..but now I eat mostly vegetarian. I can't handle cooking meat but I will eat the fuck out of it if we are in a restaurant or at your house. 'Cept for pork and beef. Ew and yuck .
Here is the recipe Vegetarian Shepard's Pie I added more peas and less onion. And I chop things real lazy like. It was delish! Way too heavy for summer eatin' but yumtastic all the same.
I also made those Peanut Buttah Cookies again. By accident. I was going to make some peanut butter bars but was looking at the wrong page and had to move forward with the cookies again. This time I added more PB so that I can continue getting chubbier. Me and my goals. I haven't any pictures because my camera battery charger is still missing so here is MooBoiBoi instead.

Homeward bound. Not at all like the Simon and Garfunkel song.

                                      Dick in a box. Because he later ate too much catnip and pissed in it. 

Where in the goddamn hell is my camera battery charger? I'm dying! I'm dying because I can't find it! I have been organizing and rearranging this house like a biznitch and can't show ya'll any pictures of anything. Sob. I even have missed out on ultra adorable cat pictures.
I have so many plans for this crib. Hopefully, my would be roomie doesn't flake out on me and I'm forced to move last minute.
I am homeward bound because I haven't any motivation to go anywhere these past couple of days. Yesterday, I had the day off and I spent it in silence with the groggiest of brains. Effin allergies.
Today I am more motivated. This house is closing in on me. With all its clutter and poorly painted walls.
I know what would make me feel better. A party! A party full of treats and boozy bevs!
In the meantime if you live in the Mpls area. Contact me. So I can unload my crap upon you.

Home. A list.

Source: I forget. Help a sistah out. 

List Time! Oh how I love a list!

This one is dedicated to all the shiz I want to do and buy for the criblet.

1. Paint all or most of the walls white. This needs to be met with landlords approval. 

2. Get a new/old love seat.

3. Give away stripey chairs but keep ottoman. Its a cat bed now. 

4.Organize the kitchen. 

5. Glass jars for storage in the kitchen. 

6. Curtains for kitchen.

7. New bookshelf. The "Billy" isn't cutting it anymore. 

8. Make back yard pretty. 

9. New TV stand. 

10. New coffee table. 

11. Re pot plants.

12. Get new plants. I love plants. 

13. New shower curtain. 

14. Organize bedroom. 

15. Get air purifier. 

16. New dining room table? Because current one is birch-y colored and I want mid century beautifulness? 

17. New curtains for Dining room. 

18. New artwork. Especially for dining room. 

19. Cute cat bed. 

20. Shoe storage.

21. More lamps. Why it gotta be so dark in here? Dang. 

As I have stated before, I want white walls and a more Danish like feel. Please, please Rajiv let me paint the walls. PLEASE! 

Please refer to this link for my dream home..this is just one of the many homes I have bookmarked...Lisa and Clay's Artsy and Calm Collaboration.

Smoochybears.

Whoa. Everything is comin' up roses, ya'll. Besides school trying to fuck me over. But I will go visit with them on Tuesday. I will dress non slutty and be extremely cheerful and understanding. That is the ONLY way to handle the financial aid department at MCTC.
I am really enjoying the deli job. I seriously have a million laughs. The work is physically draining. Standing on your feet for like 11 hours straight isn't the most awesome and the working until 5 in the morning sucks dick but I have a lot of fun and it's so stress free compared to working with toddlers and teachers.
I have really been craving cigarettes,though. The deli also sells a cheesecake that I want to take home and make love to. Me and my gluttony.
I heard from a co worker that an ex boyfriend of mine works at the bar closest to my house that I've never been to. Because it is pretty mullet friendly. I wonder if he would want to see me. I'm kinda taking it as a sign that I should go see him. It could be horrible or it could be fantastic.
My landlord smokes so much that my apartment constantly reeks of cigs. That's prob why I've been craving them.
I think I am gonna sweet talk the lord of the land into letting me paint. For that I will for sure have to show some cleavage. Cleavage makes him very uncomfortable and agreeable.

Me and Moocifer enjoy a cuddle.

Sneak peekers.

Here are pictures of the living room. Pretend the hideous box fan isn't there and also pretend there is adequate lighting. There isn't an overhead light and I have only two lamps because I need to spray paint some lamps. Ignore the mess. I am Spring cleanin' like a mofo. The paint colors are atrocious. In order to repaint there is so much patching and sanding to do, it would be ridiculous.
The kitchen is liquid baby poop green. I want it to be a light blue or white. I would also like more storage. ! want a vintage pill poppin' 50s housewife feel.
The bathroom is a dull gray color. It angers me. Nothing matches with the paint color. I did try to mix white accessories with the gray but I hated it and would brush my teeth extra hard out of anger.  The gray has like bluish, purplish hues. Uck. I would like to paint it a neutral tone like white because the natural lighting in there sucks.. I would also like to make it more girly. Because I am a girl.
The dining room would be so awesome as white. It has an orange wall and the other walls are yellow. But a lighter yellow than the golden yellow in the living room. If I could I would replace the nasty ass ceiling fan that gives horrible lighting. Sigh.
The living room also has a burnt sienna wall that drives me fucking bonkers. If it were up to me I would just paint all the walls a bright white and have a beautiful Danish mid century modern home. The thought gives me a design boner.






                                                                                                                                                                                    

Maybe I was lying.

Uh. My landlord came downstairs to speak with me. He wants me to stay. Brother is moving in with girlfriend. I was gonna get my own crib and boom! Here comes Raj with all these ideas. He can be nice and he is hilarious. He wants me to stay and find a roommate. Raj will move to his St Paul home and rent a room upstairs. Mostly, he said in case he needs a place to pass out .He will be traveling and trying to get a job(s)..He is some sort of dude on movie sets. I think he just drives trucks around for them..He worked on the movie A Serious Man. I loved that movie.

Anyhoo, I asked my homies Karla and Scotty. Scotty seems like a sure thing but he has to find a job first. Karla is kinda iffy because she was excited to get her own crib. 

It sucks that I will be stuck with these colorful ass walls. 

I hope it works out. Although, I was uber excited about new digs I am more excited to not have to move. Paying for application fees, calling around, packing and moving..Ugh..moving sucks so bad. Especially when you are a girl like me that doesn't own a car or know how to drive. I know. I'm helpless. 

I emailed Scotty pictures and a brief description. He is hating his life in Fargo and wants out. I understand. That was me 8 years ago. 

Hopefully, my cats won't poop on his bed. 

Cleaning Haus.

Babes.
At the end of the summah I will be moving into a sweet new crib. By myself. With my kittencats. I can't wait to be brother less and without a weirdo landlord living above me. We have lived here almost three years and that is the longest I have ever lived in one place, counting my childhood.
I have a sort of a wishlist for new criblet.

1. Hardwood floors.
2. Tons of sunlight and windows.
3. Laundry on site. ( I ain't got one of them car thingies)
4. Safe and secure.
5. Closets.
6. Ample storage in the kitch.
7. Somewhere for the kitties poopbox that isn't visible to guests. Mickey drops bombs,ya'll..
8. Close to the deli and on busline for school and preschool jobby job..
9. Ceiling fans or an A/C would be the shiznit.
10. Quiet. ( within reason)
11. Close to some shops and food places.
12. Non hipster neighborhood.
13. A balcony would be so rad but kinda rare in Uptown.
14. Close to at least one bar.
15. Quirks and character.
16. Dishwasher would be fab but I can live without one. Barely.

I kinda think I need to see one a couple blocks from my current home. It's available for September. But it is still in my sketchy neighborhood. But I kinda like living in sketchy neighborhoods. And you can find danger anywhere. Even in the safe neighborhoods.
Hopefully, I could paint the place too but I have been having huge boners over white walls. I will be posting pictures soon of my ghetto mansion. The landlord picked the wall colors. At first I liked it but now it's a battle to not have TOO much color. Plus, it is very horribly painted. Whomever painted it was high on meth and couldn't keep a straight line or give a fuck about quality. Effing methheads.
I am still finding stuff to get rid of even after yard sale of the century!
Keep your eyes peeled.

                                .Oh. I'm sorry. I didn't know you never tried to bite your cats head off

My bedroom. A story with no ending.

For these chairs..My friend Erin gave them to me for free..she had found them and had every intention of making them over but gave up..
We tried selling them at the yard sale. Some lady that was huge and wearing kelly green sweatpants with a mustache balked when I told her the price was 2 dollars per chair..she heaved herself back into her minivan..I didn't know how dirty they were and Erin had left for the longest liquor store run ever..I'm glad I was stupid though because now these chairs are mine! I want to redo one for living/dining room and one for my cat lady bedroom. I am on the hunt for fabric! I checked out Crafty Planet which is near Kristen's crib..I need to check out everything in person. I am also gonna check out the secondhand shops and yard sales for some gems.

vintage bedspread with vintage Moo

My bedroom is pink,yellow, grey,brown and white..I got the bedding from DwellStudio at Target..I love it so much. In all the years I have been a' living on my own I have NEVER had the bedroom I wanted. I thought green and yellow with white? Nope. Brown birds(more DwellStudio) but the blanket caught fire in the dryer, then mustard yella with turquoise? Nope. I even painted furniture turquoise and am in the process of painting it white. I bought a mint green and peach vintage bedspread and was gonna go that route but could find nothing to match! Most of the problems stemmed from the fact that I have shared bedrooms with 4 boyfriends. I know. What a whore. I tried ti keep their dudeness in mind and now as a single lady I am all "fuck you" I want a bedroom that is beautiful and feminine because I am a LADY!

I have kinda put a hold on this bedroom redo, because I will be moving soon and my current bedroom is so fucked. No closet just two huge unmatching broken ass wardrobes that are barely functional and a Malm dresser. All my landlords. Plus my bed, my dresser and one teeny nightstand. I get claustrophobic. I have been sleeping on the couch because my room is so messy and closing in on me..
Stay tuned for bedroom updates as I will be trying to find and fix things before the BIG MOVE (read in a deep announcer type voice)

Domesticated.

 Today is spent cleaning the crib from drunken yard sales, hangovers, migraines and kittylovin'..I am also baking some yum yum for your tum tum cookies..
Okay, I mostly spent the day interneting while talking on the phone and then had a work meeting at 5:30 but I did make some yum city cookies...
Hopefully somebody will eat some or my ass will continue on its expansion..
Here's the recipe: Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
You are probably not that impressed. Notice minimal ingredients. Also note that I suck at cooking and baking but at least give it a try. Whimper.
They were delish for being flour free. Gluten intolerant peeps would appreciate them. I used crunchy peanut buttah because creamy is for wussies..
I should of used 1 cup of brown sugar. I don't know why. I just think it makes them seem fancier. I did almost burn a batch because I was having a gossip fest with my girl, Rhiannon.
My parents ALWAYS overbaked cookies so that nearly burnt batch I kept and thought about the fam while I ate one..
I didn't add any walnuts. I have some but didn't want to get all nut crazy.
Try them. Or not.
Also, if  I'm making cookies Meow Meow is probably watchin'..
