New series coming up!

So, I have a confession to make.
Don't be alarmed.  
I have a Pinterest addiction.
But before it was harmless.  I would surf Pinterest and pin and make boards and like things.  Harmless fun.
But now...I have to make the things I pin.  And sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't!  So now I will post the pins I have tried, and what happened.  That way I hope to save you from the grief of trying to recreate a pin for dinner and having to order pizza after all that hard work.

I'm going to post a few today that I have already tried, the ones that I try next will be more detailed and have pictures of the processes and whatnot.

TTFN, Tata for now!

Slaying the Dragon; My battle with laundry

Every woman (man, child, cat, etc.) has a dragon to slay when it comes to chores.  
Cleaning the kitchen?  No big deal.
Getting dinner ready?  Piece of cake.
Taking out the trash? Ain't no thang.

But laundry.  
Oh my God, laundry, laundry oh my God.
I just can't.
I don't even understand where it all comes from.  
There are only TWO people.  Where is this mountain of laundry coming from?

That being said, I've done about 27 loads of laundry since January 3rd.  Why do I know that?
Because I make my own laundry soap and am trying to see if it's actually worth the time and effort.  We'll go into that another day.

For probably a week now, there has been a mountain of laundry on our love seat.
It is so much easier to just toss a blanket over it and let the cats snooze.  

I do have a system when it comes to sorting/folding laundry.
Towels first, because they're huge and bulky and make up most of the mountain.
Then I separate.  Things that get hangers in one pile, socks/under things in another pile, then fold the rest as I go.

Finally this morning I put up the majority of the mountain.  It's probably a molehill now.  
Sigh.

What dragons do you have a hard time slaying?

Meet me!

Hey ya'll!  

My name's Lissy; I'm a student, a receptionist, and a live-in girlfriend.
The phrase sounds kind of weird.  It makes me think of a live-in maid, or a live-in nanny.  I think that it needs to be specified though, it's one thing to be a girlfriend.  It's a-whole-nother (it sounds so good in my head, but it is wrong in print) world to live together.  

I'm a step away from being a crazy cat lady.  We have two baby cats (otherwise known as kittens), Anikan and (Jar Jar)Binx.  I love them.  I tell them goodbye when I leave and they are the first thing I look for when I come home.  

I also have a serious inner-fat kid.  Serious.  It's a problem.  Or not.  Depends on the day.  

This blog is more or less a life hack on living on your own (or with someone).  Recipes, DIY's, tips, stories, and inner peace.  Mixed with chocolate cake.  

Mm.
