Packing it up



With just a few weeks to go, I'm realizing that organizing and packing is turning out to be quite the job, even from a 1 bedroom apartment. As you can see I have quite the stack of boxes going already... and this, my friends, is only the beginning.

what ive packed so far:
seasonal/holiday decorations
scrapbooking materials
wedding stuff (leftovers and photos)
clothing for salvation army/garbage
cds

stuff I have yet to deal with:
kitchen stuff
electronics
clothing
accessories - belts, bags, scarves
shoes
linens/towels/blankets
toiletries
cleaning supplies
paperwork/stuff in file cabinet
books/games/movies (might need a truck for just those)
cat stuff
etc
etc
etc
etc
etc
etc
etc

i am however becoming the queen of organization. I've gone through and ripped apart pretty muuch every nook and cranny of the apartment and organized it, so hopefully this will make packing much easier. Now our place is pristine (they way it should have looked for the past 3 years). We just got some boxes on Friday, so I think were ready to start packing up the motherload.

Super Bowl sunday

I've never been a huge football fan, but I pretty much always watch the Superbowl. Since this year, none of my local NY teams were involved, I was more interested in making yummy football food than actually watching the game. Instead of going to any parties, we decided to stay home and make homemade nachos. And since we both Looove Chipotle guac, we tried to find a similar recipe to make. This is insanely close...sooo good!

Guacamole

Ingredients
2 Avocados
1/2 Jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1/4 of a red onion, finely chopped
2 heaping Tablespoons of Cilantro, finely chopped
1/4 of a lime, juiced
1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions
Combine all of the ingredients into a bowl, and mash together until smooth. Add additional lime juice or salt to taste. For extra spice, leave in jalapeno seeds.
