2020, can you not?
Welp. I said to myself I would write at least one post a week when I decided to start the blog back up… Guess mother nature had another idea… Last week on Tuesday New England got HAMMERED with the hurricane. It literally still looks like a bomb went off in my town. I hardly know one person in CT that didn’t either have damage from trees falling from the absolutely crazy 75mph winds OR lost power. I think just about everyone I know lost power for at least 2 days. I was without power for 4 days, thank god it came back but I was still without internet for a…

Pan-Seared Scallops with Cauliflower “Mash”
Do you like home renovation projects? Patrick and I are constantly working on our house. There is a sense of satisfaction when you finish and it is something you have worked on and it actually looks nice! Granted my parents have been nice enough to show us the ropes on many, many, MANY home improvement tricks. I have watched my parents flip houses for years and have been a part of many of them. So I suppose it is only natural that I am wanting to do the same thing with my own. I am pretty sure Patrick thinks I am nuts, but he seems to be enjoying the process…

Colors for the House
Hello everyone I trust your weekend is going well. It has been a little rainy and gloomy here, which is okay because I have been stuck inside for the past 4 days. My wisdom teeth are official out.

I tend to have veins that are hard to find, so that was the first hiccup. Then I ended up waking up during surgery…gah! That was not fun, I woke up and saw all of the people around me and started…

August House Update
Ever have one of those weeks where it is only Tuesday and it feels like it should be Thursday already because of all the activities you shoved into your Monday? No? Only me? 😛 Yesterday, I managed to cram in an entire day of work, a playoff softball game at 6:45; which we unfortunately lost, but good year Sam’s. AND also went to dance from 8-1130pm. Needless to say I am feeling a bit sluggish today. My Starbucks is helping out that situation 🙂 Yes, I have a teddy bear at my desk. His name is Louie and he fights off unwanted guests for me. hehe So what else is…

The Renovation Has Begun!
Welp, we started getting dirty in the house ya’ll. I mean REAL dirty. First project of the new house? REMOVING THE POPCORN CEILINGS. Does anyone else hate these things as much as I do?? They are terrible. Perhaps they were popular at one point, but they are not attractive in any shape or form. Want to know how to remove your popcorn ceilings? It is super easy. Basically all you need to do is PREP really well, make sure you lay down things that will cover up all the surfaces you are worried about getting dirty. Also make sure all your furniture is out of the room. We decided to…
