How To Clean Microfiber Furniture

I know I am on hiatus, but I had to make a quick post about this!

I'm going to direct you over to the the original post from http://chrisandrobinsnest.blogspot.com for directions. I found this on pinterest and thought it sounded like a good idea so I tried it!

Before

Supplies
Yuck! The one on the right is a new sponge, the one on the left is after I cleaned my couch!


After!
I know the before and after pictures aren't that amazing, but look what came off on the sponge! That alone impresses me! The rubbing alcohol didn't leave any new discoloration or watermarks. I was happy with the results.

Hiatus

There will be no new blog entries for a couple of weeks. I have too much going on with school, preparing to move (twice in two months!), job hunting, and social life. Sorry! I can't wait until life slows down a bit because I really enjoy blogging!

High Five for Friday (Saturday...whoops)

Oops, I'm a day late-haha!

Once again, I'm linking up with http://www.frommygreydeskblog.com/ for another edition of High Five For Friday!

Here are five of my favorite things from this past week:

1. Last weekend we had a party for all of the March birthdays in Ian's family! It was a fun day: 4-wheeler, badminton, cookout, and wine! Oh, and did I mention presents and cake? Awesome.

2. Making decisions. (I don't ENJOY making big decisions, I just enjoy the feeling after having made them!) This week has been a roller coaster and it doesn't even seem like this happened just last weekend, but Ian and I decided not to move back to my hometown. It is too difficult right now. We are going to *try* to move to a town 40 minutes closer than we are now, so Ian can keep his job. I think it will be easier for me to find a job in this area as well since it is within commuting distance to Madison, WI. We spent Sunday afternoon driving around this prospective town and loved it.

3. We saw an amazing apartment on Monday. It was perfect for us--2 car garage, in-unit washer/dryer, allows cats, dishwasher, nice location, etc. When we saw it, we were under the impression that it was available May 1, which was good since we are supposed to be out of our apartment April 30. BUT, we received a phone call the next day saying they made a mistake and the one available May 1st had already been signed for. They did not have another one available until June 1. BUMMER. But, we loved it so much that we decided to apply anyway and either try to stay in our current apartment for another month (unlikely) or stay with family for the month of May. It will be tough, but worth it to live in such a nice apartment!

4. Movies!! I love watching movies with Ian. We went to Sundance Cinemas in Sunday and saw "Jeff, Who Lives At Home." Not exactly my cup of tea, but it was fun nonetheless. I also had a drink, I think it was called an "Izze" (it was, because the blog I am linking up with listed this as one of her favorite things of the week too ha!), that was kind of like a carbonated juice. I got pomegranate and it was a little too tart at first, but once I got used to it, I loved it. Better yet, Friday night we watched on of my favorite movies "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" right from the comforts of our own living room. Perfect!

5. Another Friday fun-day for me!! My mom came to visit me on Friday and we went shopping!! We went to the best quilt shop around here, the mall, Shopko for a huge sale, and Joanne Fabric just because. I had a lot of fun hanging with her for the day. Oh! And we had Noodles & Co. for lunch. My fave. Best kind of day!

Once again, I'm linking up with http://www.frommygreydeskblog.com/ for High Five for Friday!

Here are 5 things I loved about this past week--

1. St. Paddy's Day Weekend/My Birthday Weekend!! I went out with some friends in downtown Wisconsin Dells and it was SO much fun!! We pre-partied with green wine, of course!


2. My cats were being SERIOUSLY cute this week!




3. I have been making some DELICIOUS food lately....all thanks to pinterest!! Look for recipes for these (baked mac n' cheese and taco pizza) in my Top 10 Pins of the Week post tomorrow!



4. Friday Fun Day! Friday was my fiance's day off again this week, so we went shopping. Well, more browsing than shopping because we are poor, but it was still fun!! I did get a few fun things from Forever 21!! They have such cheap and cute accessories!!


5. We finished all but the Christmas special of Season 2 of Downton Abbey this week!! Oh my gosh, I am so sad that I have to wait until NEXT YEAR to see more of this addicting show! I might have to watch season 1 & 2 again soon to hold me over. The CLIFFHANGERS were nuts!!! Geeeeeeez.
