Going New

So, I decided to start a new blog now that I'm married and all that jazz I guess. It sort of seems silly, but not. Whether you think it's silly or not you should check out the new blog: http://remyandmeggan.blogspot.com/

Thanks for reading!

Oh Poo

So I'd just like to say that it's really gross when you walk into the bathroom at work and you smell the strong scent of air freshener (you thought I was going to say something else didn't you!) The reason it's gross is pretty self explanatory. It's also really gross to sit on a warm toilet seat. It's especially gross when you have to sit on a warm toilet seat AND smell the strong scent of freshly sprayed air freshener. WTMI? Sorry, but it just had to be said.

Awe!

Yesterday we were at the store and I saw this adorable collar with a red bow on it that I wanted to get for Little Grey. But we got a collar for Malcom once and he acted like his tail was on fire! Seriously. They all come with bells on them and we even took the bell off and he still wouldn’t calm down. He kept trying to get his mouth on it and he would even get his bottom teeth stuck on it so his jaw was open probably farther than it should go. Anyway the point is I had to convince Remy to invest in the $3 collar because it had an adorable bow , and I won.

When we get home I put it on her and she didn’t even notice! When she’d move and the bell would ring she’d kinda look around but just kept doing her thing. The picture isn’t all that great, I took it from my phone and animals are not the easiest things to photograph. And her long fur is covering half of it, but you get the idea. She looks so cute! We want to leave the bell on her so we don’t accidentally lock her in anymore closets for hours at a time (whoops), but it's actually getting on my nerves now so I may try to take it off. I'm just thrilled she didn't go berserk trying to get it off!

Gotta Start Out New

So I decided to start a new blog. Why? I don't know, mostly because I was tired of th other one. Plus, who doesn't like new things?

So far the married life is great. Who doesn't love spending time with their best friend? We've been spending most of our time moving and cleaning and organizing, which isn't all that fun, but doing it together makes it not so bad.

Remy had purchased a condo last year (almost a year ago exactly) and we both put in a lot of hours fixing it up....he did more than me, but hey, it's his house right? ;) Well since getting married I've filled that little place to the brim. I'm actually surprised at our ability to find places for almost everything. It's always that last random bit of stuff that never has a home. Which means I should probably just throw it away...

This past weekend I started feeling a little sick, which is a bummer on a long weekend. But it was pretty adorable because as soon as I say I don't feel well Remy asks if I want him to run to the store and get Sprite or ice cream. I just love him!

As one of our wedding gifts Remy's parents bought us a flat screen T.V. So we FINALLY bought a T.V. stand to put it in...I took pics of the building process...we got it at IKEA and this is one of their nice hefty pieces so it was quite a project! I'll post those soon!

New Stuff

So for our (one of many) wedding gifts from Remy's parents, they got us a flat screen TV! I know right! We don't have any room for it yet (the house is full of my crap everywhere from moving), plus the only thing we had to put it on was 2 old end tables stuck together and we were afraid it might get knocked over by one of the kitties...namely Malcom. Plus we needed storage and the whole thing. Anyhow so we set off on an adventure to find a good entertainment center/TV stand/something that could hold all our consoles and ideally some DVDs. I'll have to take pictures of the before and after...right now the DVDs are in these open storage racks which really drive me nuts. If there's one thing that drives me nuts, it's looking at DVDs if I don't have to. Plus the whole living room is lined with DVD storage at this point and it just looks bad. Anyhow...

So we stop at RC Willey where we felt a little out of our -we have no money and need something really cheap-league, but we found a few things that had some potential. **On a side note, have you ever been to RC Willey? That place creeps me out. They have so many sales people just looming around and when you ask one for help, they don't leave you...ever. EVER. Salesman Steve who we found in electronics sat at a table like 10 feet away from us and just sat. And waited. And watched. And waited. What? Like we're going to try to hide it in our coats? And then I feel all bad (and thoroughly creeped out) when we leave because Steve just sat there and waited forever for nothing. Creepy.**

Then we ventured off to IKEA. I wasn't expecting much from them, I'll be honest. I LOVE IKEA, don't get me wrong, but a lot of their stuff LOOKS cheap. And I know we couldn't afford much, but I just don't always want to have cheap looking stuff! So we spent over an hour looking at stuff. Trying to be creative with different shelving options we saw, using baskets and drawers, mouting stuff to walls, the whole thing. Then we found their collection of a whole bunch of stuff that you can mix and match. HOLY CRAP! We then spent forever tinkering around with different doors, and drawers, and tall shelves, and short shelves, and as we turn around to leave, we walk straight into it! Remy points and says, "why didn't we see this before?" And there in front of us, THE one. It has everything we wanted, yet was so simple it somehow didn't seem possible. It has doors that enclose the TV but that fold and lay flat to the sides so they don't stick out into the room, a small shelf to fit the XBOX and two big drawers underneath that can hold ALL of our DVDs and controllers, a place to put the Wii, and nothing obstructing the cords to the Xbox. And best of all, it was $300 off!! The only drawback is that it's white. But we think we can probably paint it and do you know what? It really won't look that bad. I mean, white goes with everything. So the goal this weekend is to get the livingroom put together so it actually has a place to go. Right now, be barely had room to fit the boxes it came in.
