I cannot stop eating McDonald's Chicken Nuggets. What the hell!? Almost every single day I want those stupid, greasy, fried, sodium filled, probably not chicken nuggets dipped in sweet&sour sauce. It needs to stop! The thought of other food just isn't appealing to me though *grumble*
Whatever, if my body is hungry for it and I can actually eat it without puking, bring it on.
I've been doing so well with cutting caffeine out of my diet completely but I recently realized how AMAZING regular coke is at calming my stomach. Who knew? Tons of people have told me that before but I didn't believe it. Really? Coke? Shouldn't I want Ginger Ale, Sprite, or 7-Up? No, Coke. So, in the past couple of weeks I have had 2 regular Cokes and both times it has helped my stomach tremendously. Whatever body. You're so weird.
I bought a Ninja last night! I LOVE it. Thank you to those of you that recommended it to me. I got this one:
Once I got it home I cleaned it up and made a smoothie from Cassie's Cookbook and it was delicious! It made enough for two of them. I had one last night and one this morning for breakfast. Yum! It has all sorts of berries, greek yogurt, and skim milk. Perfect punch of protein for my morning. Especially since I follow up that healthy little thing with chicken nuggets.... *sigh*
So I guess you could say my diet consists of:
Smoothies, milk, cheese sticks, cottage cheese, chicken nuggets, coke, water and saltine crackers.
Awesome.

On Buying a House:
Well, it has been announced on Facebook but....
WE GOT A HOUSE!
We put in an offer last night, the guy counter offered (which we knew he would), and then we sent another offer back and he accepted! We have a closing date of June 9, 2014 which is my Birthday! Best birthday present ever! Our very first house.
It is a cute little three bedroom house and I love the kitchen and living room. Everything is so open! And look at that marvelous sunshine that comes in the front. The cats will enjoy that. All of the floors are new, so it currently smells like new carpet. All light fixtures are new, the bathroom has built in shelves with a hamper and it is just precious! It only has a one car garage but we are used to that anyway. The backyard is absolutely huge (for this size of a house) and I know the dogs are going to love it! So will I once I get my garden planted, some pretty flowers put in, and a nice privacy fence put up. The privacy fence will have to wait a little while until we can buy the supplies (my dad can put in privacy fences) but at least it is fenced now with chain link and that will keep the dogs in.
The only appliance we have to buy is a washer/dryer. It has to be a stackable unit because it goes in that little closet you see in the kitchen. Other than that, we have a fridge and everything else comes with it! Score!
I'm very excited and I cannot wait for June 9th. I already put in our intent to vacate our apartment because they need 60 days notice and we should be able to move the second or third week of June! Another plus for me? I work for a moving company. So, of course I am going to hire the guys here to pack and move me and I know they'll do an excellent job. I'm super excited to be able to start buying things around July to put in the nursery and get that room all baby ready!
It is just such wonderful news for us! It is our first house and I know it is going to be special. Plus, being three bedrooms we have room to grow a little more if we wanted to. ;)

Goals Before Move:
This is very important. Haha. I already have a list of things in my head I want to accomplish before moving and I've started to write them down in my wonderful Erin Condren Planner so that I have a time frame set as well. They mostly consist of cleaning things out and donating/throwing stuff away.
Goals before move:
- Clean out under the bathroom, wet bar, and kitchen sinks. Really. How do these areas accumulate so much weird stuff?
- Clean out coat closet. We are two people. Why is our coat closet full to the max? We each wear the same damn two coats all of the time....
- Clean out the bathroom closet. The closet in our bathroom is HUGE. Therefore, it has accumulated quite a bit of stuff on top of stuff (still fairly organized with baskets and rubber maid tub drawers) but they all need to be cleaned out.
- Clean out the hall closet. I just don't even want to touch that one... I believe we still have boxes that weren't unpacked from when we move 2 years ago........
- Clean out Andrew's dresser. Clothes for donations
- Clean out my dresser. Clothes for donation
- Clean out our closet. Clothes, purses, and shoes for donations
- Clean out from under the bed. Again, rubber maid tubs and boxes just keep getting slid under there and they need a good going through.
- Clean out kitchen cabinets and drawers. Mostly organize this area. Pots, pans, dishes, etc.
- We also have a kitchen "junk" drawer (so to speak) that needs organized..... pens, batteries, doggie medicine, doggie treats, etc.
I think that's it. I can tackle a few of those things in one go. Like, both dressers and possibly the closet can be done in the same day. I just need to make a schedule and stick to it! That way when the guys come to pack they aren't packing things that aren't necessary! I want to make their job a lot easier too.
So, I have my work cut out for me the next month and a half but I couldn't be more excited about it.
We finally have a house.
I can't stop smiling.
