I’m hungry!

J and I decided to stay over at my parents tonight as they have power and we were just fed up with struggling around in the dark. I saw that a load of people from the power company were digging up some power cables near our home,HOPEFULLY we’ll have power again tomorrow so everyone’s good thoughts will be appreciated.

J and I had been talking about looking for a bigger place to rent as the one bedroom apt we have now is just too small. I’m getting frustrated with the little space we have for all our things like clothes and also I have almost no storage space in the kitchen. And he also went and bought a bench press so that’s also taking up all the space in the bedroom. We’ve been hesitant about it because it’s only his second month working for himself and we’re not entirely sure that everything will work out as hoped but so far so good. The ’salary’ he’s getting this month is almost double what he got at the last place he worked and we’re hoping it only gets better from here on out.

It’s been hard convincing him but he finally relented on Friday and said we can start looking around for a new, bigger place. I’m super excited. I really need an extra bedroom, bigger kitchen and a decent sized backyard.

I’m not too worried about money at this stage, these things tend to sort themselves out. Wish us luck!! :)

Oh and I’ve also decided to go into the office on Tuesday as there are some things that didn’t get as much attention as I would have liked and as much as I’d love to stay at home, my conscience wouldn’t allow it. *sigh*

And then, last but not least. My picture for the day. My very last picture, as this marks the end of the month long photo blog challenge.

I have a shocking confession to make. I hate KFC. I really do, it’s oily and that batter…UGH. J had some KFC that my mother had bought and I didn’t eat anything. Now I’m hungry and it’s too late to eat. Guess I’ll have to hold out until morning.

  1. KFC in SA??? Holy cow!! I myself LOVE KFC (I’m a southern girl where fried chicken is the meal of choice), but it’s probably different here than it is in SA. I am kind of annoyed that American food has infiltrated all parts of the world. Sheesh.

    I moved in with Kurt just after college into a one-bedroom apartment. I really wish we had moved to a two-bedroom, but we were too lazy to pack up all our stuff and switch apartments. I asked him why he didn’t just get a two-bedroom apartment at the outset when he moved to Virginia. He told me it’s because he was a single guy; why would he need two bedrooms?? I think if I lived on my own, I’d love to have two bedrooms — one to use for sleeping, and one for an office.

    Do you have Nando’s? Now that is some fine SA cuisine. lol
    That’s the idea whit the extra room, I want a craft/office room. I can’t stand living in such a tiny place!

  2. Yeah for the power (hopefully) about to return!

    Yeah for a new place!

    Yeah for you not eating that awful chicken!

    Yeah for you finishing the blog photo challenge!

    Congrats!

    ****
    LOl YEAH for everything good! :)

  3. Ooooh good luck finding a new place! =D Hehe. I remember the crazy times my friends and I had last year when we were finding our place, but hey, I’d do it all again just to be able to move out. -shifty eyes- Urgh… ah well. Hopefully the power’s back! <3 And aw… I’m not a big KFC either, I’m more a Maccas person. Hehe. xP

    ****
    I remember Eva!! Those were some hectic times! :) And look at the great place you guys got in the end!

  4. I could not eat KFC for the longest time after I read about how horribly they treat the chickens… then i started back with only their mac&cheese (cuz its the best you will ever have!) and mashed potatoes and gravy, but then the mashed potatoes bowl came out and it has popcorn chicken in it, so I eat that now…lol. Congrats on finishing the photoblog challenge!! YEA!

    I had KFC once and I got so sick and I haven’t been able to eat it since. Not even the mash and gravy! Bleh! I love their bread though, those cute loafs?

  5. this calls for a lot of celebrations then! :)
    the work-related “guilt” is too familiar for me, i had to smile when i realized myself depicted here. hope the power’s back soon!

    i love the KFC mashed potato with gravy by the way, i am almost tempted to steal the gravy recipe! :)

    ****
    Odette, I really don’t like their mash and gravy either. Only thing I DO like is their bread loafs. :) Glad I’m not the only one that feels that way about work. I just can’t stay home when I have stuff to do. *le sigh*

  6. No lies - KFC makes me sick to my stomach. Luke and I thought about getting a single bedroom apartment - even a studio apartment and we knew we wouldn’t have enough room. Yikes! Good luck with that though!

    ****
    Whoo-Hoo - another KFC hater! One room is just too small for two people! Thanks Beckie!

  7. I’m feelin ya on the no hot water front. Due to the extension, we haven’t had any kitchen or hot water since Friday, and today probably sees us lose water completely for a few days while the new plumbing gets done. There isn’t one room in our house that hasn’t now been completely trashed by the builders, but hopefully after wednesday, things should start getting put back together. Only Three weeks left ( Thank God ).

    Hi Maxx. So nice to see you in this neck of the woods. :)

    GAH for no water! I hope they sort everything out soon. Can’t wait to see how it’ll look when it’s done!

  8. Best of luck, and I am completely with you on KFC, bleurgh. I have a strange addiction to Big Macs though.

    ****
    Mmmm…MacDonalds…*drools*. LOVE MacD’s!

  9. ” I have a strange addiction to Big Macs though ”

    Hey Thriftcriminal - not a flasher are you ?? LMAO

    ****
    LOL :)

  10. Oh, man! I used to *love* KFC when I was little! I really enjoyed when my mom would buy a big ole bucket on Sunday night and I could get up the next morning and pack some for my lunch. Back in the day (before Cracker Barrel came about) KFC had the best biscuits. I loved their coleslaw as well. I actually make my own coleslaw now and it tastes very similiarly to KFC’s! YUM-O!!!

    ****
    Ewww….cold chicken?? lol :) I like coleslaw too! :) But because I rarely eat at KFC I have no idea how theirs taste like.

  11. I’m not so hot on KFC. I’ll eat it, but I’d much prefer a McDonalds anyday.. actually everyday!

    Yay for the new place though.

    ****
    YAY for MacDonalds!! *drools* NOW I’m hungry!! Wow!

  12. Oh wow! I hope you find a bigger place soon! That’s very exciting!
    I love KFC. It’s the closest thing to home for me here. Heh

    ****
    I hope so too Gracey! The search is on as soon as we have time to actually go and look around for places. And noooo….not KFC! ;)

  13. I’m so excited for you to be looking for a new place! J is so good to you ;). Good luck finding the perfect thing!

    Ya know, Chuck HATES fast food of any kind, but he likes KFC. Does that surprise you? I didn’t think so…….LOL

    ****
    Thank you YC. :) I hope we get a nice place!

    LOL @ Chuck. ;)

  14. Congrats on you looking for a bigger place. I get sick if I eat KFC, I avoid it at all cost.

    ****
    Thanks Lumpy. :) YAY for no KFC!
