i need to learn how to cook.

so fried rice, egg salad, chicken salad, and spaghetti are my go-to meals when i cook in the kitchen. snacks vary from chips and salsa to greek yogurt. menu is rather limited and eating the same type of food for 2-3 days in a row is not as fun as it used to be. add on the fact that cousin and friends are posting awesome pictures of delicious food that they're making, i think that i should learn how to cook some new meals.

what i realized this past month:

• no matter how much i pretend to run, i abhor it with a passion. i thought that it would be like broccoli - grow on me over time. not quite there yet. 
• i prefer swimming over running. i can motivate myself to finish my laps with a positive "yeah!" mentality whereas i dread running and am a bitter unhappy person finishing the run. 
• if my students were to describe me, they'd call me hyper, crazy, and always hungry. i can't handle it - i always have to be eating something whether it's third period or seventh period. 
• i <3 pinterest. 
• i've been meaning to post my pinterest-inspired crafts with the DIY tutorials i've been reading; it's not mindless and meaningless pinning!
• it's very interesting what i think about when i craft - particularly with the two t-shirt quilts i've made =) will share in a future post xD
