Moving Up

This weekend I had the privilege of helping Duck Dude and Koal baby move into their first home! 

It has been such an exciting process and I was so excited to help them get somewhat settled! The best part of the weekend was not having a tv and zero furniture. We listened to Pandora constantly, two-stepped in the den, and had hand stand competitions in the living room... because when else can you do that? 

We took a little break on Saturday to watch the Aggies and it was definitely a good game!! I wore an Aggie shirt and I felt like people were staring at me all day, but that might have just been my imagination. 

 

 

Seriously, how precious are they? And don't worry. Duck Dude has ducks strategically placed over the house. I got a lesson on the history of duck decoys. Which is probably a good thing since I have a Delta Waterfowl sticker on my car now... 

It's like a duck's dream home up there on top of the cabinets. 

Before and after the yellow wall! We got rid of it and I love the entry way space... even though there's an ATM lamp there.

Duck Dude's mom and I found this piece to go above the couch in the living room. I love it and sent Duck Dude a picture hoping he would like it so we could get it! Good news... he's either a smart man or he has good taste and both of those are good with me! I cannot wait to get the furniture to see what it all looks like! 

It was one good weekend. That's for sure. 

Boilermaker

Today, I am a boilermaker.

Why? Because Notre Dame is ranked one spot ahead of my Baylor Bears… and guess who they’re playing? You got it. Purdue. So I hope, for today, that Purdue wins and the boilermakers come ready to play their hearts out!!!

I am, for the same reasons, also an Illinois, Western Michigan, Lamar, Arizona State fan!! I am rooting for any team who is playing any team ranked above my Bears. So much so that I made an excel sheet to keep up with who I should be rooting for each splendid Saturday. You might be thinking ‘wow, Mollie, that’s a little much’ but then again you might not spend as many hours as I do watching college football. If you do, then you’re thinking ‘wow, Mollie, can I get a copy?’

There’s another first happening this weekend. I will be wearing a Texas A&M shirt during the Bama vs Aggie game. Call it love or call it he wore/has a Baylor shirt now so I have to return the favor…. But I will be supporting my Duck Dude and his school when they take on Saban this weekend. So we will not be rolling any tide and we will be hoping that Johnny Football can control his on field behavior and not get any unsportsmanlike conduct penalties.

And I will leave you with a football related joke for this fantastic Friday.

How do you say Tony Romo in Spanish?

Mark Sanchez.

Now that’s funny. And I’m a Cowboys fan. Still. Funny. 

T Shirts

T shirts. How many do you own?

I own approximately 90. Yes, that’s a real calculation folks. I might explain how I came to that number later. But for now, you need to know I have an absurd amount of tshirts and I am emotionally attached to every single one of them. Seriously, before I started this little task, I tried to “clean out” the ones that have sweat stains, have holes in them I never ever, ever wear…. And I got rid of 4. I’m looking at it like it’s a start.

A while back I pinned a blog post on a new way to fold tshirts. The blogger claimed you could see what each one was and it made more room. I left it pinned for a solid 2 months and finally on Labor day decided I would give it a try. (Technically I labored a little bit on Labor day, but it was organizing and I’m OCD so it was fun laboring)

I started by taking out my four stacks of tshirts and counting how many were in each stack.. It averaged out to about 11. Speaking of 4 different stacks I’ll just go ahead and clue you in on my organizing style. One stack is green and gold Baylor shirts, one stack is organization Baylor shirts (intramurals, frat shirts, dia del oso shirts, etc.), one stack is organization shirts, and the last stack is my random group that’s left over!

I started folding them like the post said and realized it was just as easy as it sounded. As I started to put the tshirts back into my drawer I quickly found out that I could fit more than 11 in a row. So, I ran to my dryer to pull out the tshirts that were in there! Typically I have to go on a rotation system because I have too many tshirts.. so the ones stay in the dryer until I wear enough so the piles go down and I have more room. You can fit on average 17 tshirts folded this way! I’m not even kidding. I felt like it was Christmas Day!

 

I kept folding and kept jamming out to my Kacey Musgraves Pandora and when I finished I found that I had room left over in my tshirt drawer!!!!! That has never happened in my life! I considered putting those 4 shirts that I had decided to give away throw away back in and then decided that was regressing from my original goal.

Then I moved to my school’s tshirt drawer and completed it for them as well! I felt so accomplished I sent pictures to my whole family. It’s fantastic and made this little OCD heart happy. So happy.

Homemade Donuts

Have you ever made homemade donuts? Because if you haven't, you are missing out!! It's the best combination of oil, dough, and powdered sugar ever!!

It's simple. Get some biscuits (the non flake style) and pour some grease in the pan and heat it up! Cut  out the middle and you will have your donut holes. It might take the first few to get the temp of the grease just right... Aka double check to make sure they're cooked all the way through! Then, have a gallon ziplock bag or a couple paper sacks ready with powdered sugar in it! Place the fried donuts in the bag and shake shake shake!! This is the fun part for your kids.... Or your 26 and a half year old boyfriend. So, try it out!!

Just a warning, you eat a lot of these while you're cooking. You might find that when you sit down to eat.. You're already full!!

Toast to August

August has come and gone. 

Here’s to the most awesome wedding I have ever been to.

Here’s to being forced to catch the bouquet from the wedding. “I’m not moving my hands”… It came straight to me.

Here’s to awkward CPR classes… I guess people don’t remember old episodes of the Office. “At first I was afraid, I was petrified.”

Here’s to the best summer of my life so far.

Here’s to only having 1 prep for school. Seriously, maybe I can breathe this year.

Here’s to being a Brunette even though we didn’t win a 2^nd year in a row. (Post coming on that)

Here’s to having a freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior family members at Baylor. We bleed green and gold.

Hooray for September!!! :)
