New furniture has arrived!

-
It actually arrived the Thursday before Christmas, which was nice but also a little stressful since that meant all rearranging needed to be done within a few days.
The first and most important part before the arrival of the furniture (new dresser and book shelf) was to make room for them which meant moving these:
They were going to be leaving anyway, but both of them had a place to go where as the TV stand/dresser that I got from my sister, and had been yelling at for the past few weeks, had to remain in my room.
My bed during the process of change, and I have to say it doesn't even describe what was going on. Let me just say: five dresser drawers stacked on top on the bed along with a couple bags, a trash can and some shoes.

My new dresser:
It may only be the top, but it is 10 times better then the other two dressers put together. Enough drawers for all of my clothes, and even some room for extras.

Along with getting new furniture I also got new bedding. I was trying to find something that went with my furniture and wall colors, but also gave a little color to my room. Having dark wood furniture and khaki walls are just a little to plain and boring for me.
The hardest part was trying to find something of my interest and in a twin. See there was a handful of bedding sets that I liked, but they only seemed to come in King, Queen, or Full. Most of the twin bedding wasn't as conservative as I would have liked it to be, and after searching for months at what felt like every store I finally found one. Thank Goodness.

I still have a little rearranging and organizing in my room, but I think for now it will have to do. The TV stand/dresser is still in my room, and really only being used to hold some of those items that need to find new homes and holding my TV, but at least I don't have to fight with it to give me my clothes anymore. More cleaning does need to be done, but I am happy, it is finally my room.

 When I go back and think, I may not have taken a picture of the dinners I made.  Nope no picture of the Cajun fried rice or the Cajun chicken pasta .  I even tried to remind myself to take a picture of it as my lunch, and even that was a no.   Guess I'll start with the fried rice since I made that first.  I think it seemed simple enough, and I was almost positive I had all of the ingredients or if not a substitute, as I switched the brown rice out for white.  For the life of me I kept forgetting to look and make sure we had shrimp, but also take it out to defrost.  Our freezer is not that big, but the shrimp was all the way in the back behind baked goods, chicken, berries and a few other things I forgot were in there.   Shrimp came out and defrosted day of, although I don't think they were deveined so they took a little more prep work once the cooking started.  Side note, my coworker had mentioned making shrimp tacos and I thought...

July

  Yikes!  Did the last month or so get away from me or what.  I had honestly started this, well prepped this a month ago, and then apparently life happened.  So before I'm two months behind, what did I make in July.   I made lots of things with cream cheese, and if you keep up more will come, a because these mini cheese cakes were a bit of a cheat while I yet again wait on buying something that I may not have room for in my kitchen right now.  Yes a springform pan takes up less room then a stand mixer, but how often will I use it?  Actually if I had one I might use it as regularly as I am my muffin tin and donut pan.  Well, maybe not but at the rate I'm going at least once every couple months.   Now I went with mini cheesecakes to lets say ease myself into it.  I've had most if not all the ingredients for a month, and was just waiting for the right time, and I may have pushed back because cheesecake isn't really a summer treat...

List of Making

-
 I've got a few things scattered here and there, and pins saved for a rainy day but if I write them here maybe make myself more accountable they might be more likely to happen.  I thought about lasagna a few weeks ago, knew I had most of what I needed, just needed a recipe really.  Do I have my mom's recipe or is it one of those things that's more in her head but not written down anywhere?   I also talked to her about making chicken and dumplings to get her thoughts/input since I've got bisquick and I think it would go over well here.   Just went through my "recipe book" I typed up before starting college thinking I was going to be like my sister who had moved out a year before making all these fancy things for myself for dinner.  Makes me laugh what I put in it.  Mostly desserts, some snack or side dishes and maybe a few actual meals.  Way to go Carrie from ten years ago! So here is the list (probably won't make all of these) but it sh...
