WFMW: Dream House

Thanks to Simple Organized Living I have been thinking about my dream house! In searching for my dream house ideas, I've decided to start saving money each week towards the down payment of my dream house one day. I hope to buy my dream house in about 7 or 8 years.

This is my dreamhouse. It has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and an inlaw suite :)

Now, all of those are not requirements. I was looking in the area that I would want to buy a house, at first I was thinking a budget of 200,000. With 3 bedroom 2 bath. When I realized I could spend less than 200k and get 5 bedrooms with 3 or 4 baths boy was I amazed!!!

We would not "need" an inlaw suite but it would be great to have if we wanted guests to visit or on vacation to stay there for a good time while we would still have our space.

This is still an ongoing process. I know I would like a big kitchen, with an island and a walk in pantry would be nice.

So starting now and over the next 7 or 8 years I will continue to look for things I like for my dream house, that I WILL purchase!

We can all have our dreams as long as we take steps to accomplish!!

WFMW: Play Time

As I mentioned in a previous post, my baby (cat) is very spoiled!

In fact, when she wants to play fetch, she will meow non stop until you throw the paper for her to go fetch.

If you do not do this for quite some time she feels the need to wake you up just as you doze off .

For instance, the other night I did not play fetch with her, nor did I get a good nights rest.

She came in the bedroom and decided she wanted to play with the strings that hang

down from the blinds.

So I yell at her once to stop. She stops but not for good.

She goes over to the other window and what do you know,

just as I am about to fall asleep I hear her batting the strings back and forth yet again!!

So if she can't do it with one window, she obviously thinks she can do it with

the other window!!

Well I was really irritated cause now she had woken me up twice!

I got so mad I yelled at her and told her to get out of the room LOL

she literally ran out of the room and I slammed the doo behind her.

I had enough and wanted to really get some sleep!

So here she is:

All sweet and innocent looking!

NOT!!

p.s. I still love her to pieces but this is why play time for her will ALWAYSwork for me!!



WFMW: Organizing!

Anyone out there feel so much better coming home to an organized house/apartment?

Let me tell you I can not relax fully until things are done around the apartment. If there are things I have been wanting to do and don't get them done, I can't fully relax. I will constantly be thinking of things I want to get done and why am I on facebook when I could be getting these done! That bad facebook, always sucking me in!

Ok! Time to get back on subject. Organizing.

I absolutely love to organize and stay organized. I am very much a planner as well.

Here in the near future I plan to go through all my belongings and slim down! I have way too much stuff for a 24 year old. I plan on starting with the bathroom. I have stuff under the sink as well in a three drawer organizer. Moving on after that will be our closet - I still have all my stuff everywhere since we moved in to the apartment. After the closet will be the office. The room that has the most junk! I want to get one tote for each of us for our papers and keepsakes. Then theres mycrafts. My bills from past years, and so on.

The list goes on and on. I will be using my new meme "What I accomplished This Week" starting on Sunday. See the upcoming post about my new meme. I will talk more about how I accomplished things and how I accomplished them.

WFMW: Cleaning!

Lets see...I think I will make todays post about cleaning.

I usually do all my cleaning on Saturdays. I only work Monday through Friday so therefore I have a lot more time on weekends. I don't do it on Sundays because that is my relaxation day.

My boyfriend and I have a two bedroom one bathroom apartment that is about 1202 sq. ft! So it isn't tiny, but at the same time it isn't huge either.

I don't really have a certain way of cleaning, because once I start in one room and I need to take something to put away in another, then I start cleaning there. I definitely clean the kitchen first and dust after that I just do whatever I do.

Keeping this short because I just put together a laptop table on wheels, it was my birthday gift from my parents. My wrist is killing me!!

WFMW: Routine!!

I am new to WFMW, but wanted to say that I cannot function without my daily routine! If I sleep too late my day has been all messed up. So here it goes!

My daily routine I wake up about 9:30 in the morning..or should I say my alarm goes off then. On Monday, Tuesday, Thursday,Friday, and Saturday I go to the gym. So on Wednesdays and Sundays I can sleep in a bit and it will not throw my system off.

On the days I go to the gym I wake up take my supplements and head straight to the gym. After I do my exercises for the day, I stop at the bank since its next door basically, if I need to. After that I go home, drink a protein shake, eat breakfast relax, watch tv, get on the computer or pick things up around the apartment. I am an Avon Sales Rep. so every other Wednesday I do have to go around and do my Avon duties. I also work part-time right now and go to work between 4:00pm and 8:30 at night. Once I get home from work I eat my dinner and get on the computer and watch tv too.

If I sleep in too long then it runs into my time that I need to be at the gym and screws up my eating schedule as well! I love my routine and I am so glad to finally be back to it!!

Anybody else have certain routines they need to follow in order to have an accomplished day?
