A bit of an introduction...

Okay, so my new year's resolution for 2013 is to get our home clean and organized, and for some reason I decided to make a blog about it. I guess because of all those housewife blogs I see when I find things on Pinterest. Who knows.

Anyway, I'm going to take this post and do some introductions for myself, the key players in the house, and how it's gonna work!

This is me! My name is Katie, but I usually go by other monikers, such as Bug, Buggy, Little Bug, Bugness, Wifey Bug, and occasionally Punkin Pie Princess Bug. On the derby track, I am known as Dainty Villain. I'm 22 and live in Denton, TX, which is about 45 minutes north of Dallas. As you can see, I am a recent graduate; I got a BBA in Marketing. For the time being, however, Sweet Man (see below) and I share a car. And with his crazy work schedule, I can't really get a job at the moment, which is pretty much what brought on the whole housewife thing. 

I also sometimes look like this. I play roller derby with the North Texas Derby Revolution. It's super awesome and I could go on and on about it, but I won't.

This is my Sweet Man (I won't be using his real name on the blog.) I love him a lot. He is a manager at a privately-owned restaurant, so he works between 50 and 60 hours each week. He also plays bass guitar in a church worship band. As busy as he is, though, we still manage to spend lots of time together.

And this is is Dr. Watson C. Dog! He is a half long-haired, half short-haired miniature dachshund. He is just under a year old right now, with his first birthday later this month. He's adorable and sweet and a momma's boy and also a total pain in the ass. But he's my little guy.

I should also mention that Sweet Man and I are not actually married yet. However, since we've been together for 3 years and living together for 2.5, "boyfriend/girlfriend" just sounds kinda weird, like we're still newly together. He's been calling me his Wifey Bug for a while now, but it's gotten a lot more often since I've taken up with housewife gig (again, because "housegirlfriend" just doesn't sound right.)

We live in a large-ish apartment; it's cheap and therefore a little bit on the crappy side, but still good enough. Right now, we just have way too much stuff for the amount of space we have. Actually, I think it's a mix of a little too much stuff and zero organization. But hopefully that will all be solved soon!
