I want to thank you darling for all that you've given
I want to thank you for being my friend
And I love you but goodbye

A Cooking Rut

I would not say that I have natural talent with cooking. I have talked about my cooking failures extensively with most of my friends and I even wrote about it for the blog of my mom's old bakery (RIP Flour Girls and Dough Boys). There have been times in my life where I haven't cooked a single thing in months. That was okay while I was in college, since social opportunities to eat out were common and my income source somehow never ran dry. However, at age 24, I am now somewhat of an adult, and I think it is important to be able to cook for myself if necessary (and in the last couple months, my then-impending and now current #unemployment has made it necessary to cut costs where I can). Whenever I thought about cooking meals for dinner or even packing a lunch for work days, I was completely stuck. How could I decide what to eat? There were infinite options! It's not like I kept my kitchen stocked with food, so I would have to go to the grocery store no matter what. Analysi

Guys. I got straight A's! I kind of felt like that is something I shouldn't post about, because bragging never really suits anyone. But then I decided that since I really did work hard this semester and I really feel like what I produced deserves A's, it's okay to share my bliss. I sacrificed a lot this semester. I guess that's something I felt like I had to come back from my mission with—the discipline to change some bad habits from pre-mission (procrastination, BS, an attitude of whatever-I-can-pump-out-in-one-night-goes) to good habits (Saturdays studying on campus, making sure I believe in the things I write about, multiple revisions of my papers including peer editing, doing reading and papers in manageable chunks). I learned so many important lessons that they should probably comprise their own post. But I'll just wrap up now. This semester was hard, but now that I can see the end result, it was worth it. I guess THAT'S the takeaway message of this p

1. I cannot keep secrets about myself. I blab about everything going on with me to anyone who will listen. I don't really understand what it's like to want privacy. 2. If I were asking for a gift from heaven, I would choose crystal-clear skin over a stick-thin body. Not because I love my curves or anything, just because having great skin is something you can't give yourself. 3. I love to sit and lay on the ground. I sit on the ground way more often than people are comfortable with. No, I don't need that chair or spot on the couch. 4. I am not motivated by weight-loss goals. I have lost significant amounts of weight before, but it is always prompted by fitness goals rather than the desire to lose weight. I've done three triathlons and a marathon and I'm working on training for a half marathon right now. It is the only thing that works. 5. I shamelessly suntan whenever possible. I get frustrated when I am stuck inside on a sunny summer day, and I feel a
