Meal Planning and New Recipes 2015

So my roommate and I have decided to make it a goal to try to cook more and eat at home. Therefore, we've resorted to the endless pit that is Pinterest food. So far, we have about 30 recipes pinned to try eventually and are starting our planning. I'm going to try to keep a post for each time we plan some and how they went after we complete. :)

latest message-online dating.

him: hey, how are you?

me: hi, i'm good. how are you?

him: good. what do you want to talk about?

me: i'm not sure? i don't really have interest in some of the things you've listed so I'm not sure what else you're into.

him: so? we don't have to like all the same things to talk and get to know each other. wouldn't of messaged u if i wasn't interested hun

at this point, i read the message then got a phone call so i hadn't responded.

him (30 minutes later): figured. you're too stuck up to give me a chance. oh well, your loss.

me: why is a guy's first reaction to not getting an immediate response, being an ass? i'm sorry i read your message and got busy with a phone call and didn't respond right away. I don't think calling me stuck up was exactly necessary. thanks for your interest, but I don't think i'm losing anything.

ugh, seriously?!

it's hard when you think you've done everything right and yet there are still some obstacles you just can't get over, now matter how hard you try.

i'm going to fully admit here that the decision i made this morning was not my best. falling down the same rabbit hole multiple times isn't good, but whatever. i've tried to move on and i can't so maybe the 3rd time is the charm.

arg.

i've been graduated from undergrad for 15 months and i still can't find the dedication to study for the gmat. 

i've bought the book. i have textbooks. i need to study. i just...can't.

granted, i'm okay time-wise because the mba i want requires 2+ years post-grad experience and test scores are only good for 5 years, i still wish i had some motivation for school again.

Sometimes you’re 23 and standing in the kitchen of your house making breakfast and brewing coffee and listening to music that for some reason is really getting to your heart. You’re just standing there thinking about going to work and picking up your dry cleaning. And also more exciting things like books you’re reading and trips you plan on taking and relationships that are springing into existence. Or fading from your memory, which is far less exciting. And suddenly you just don’t feel at home in your skin or in your house and you just want home but “Mom’s” probably wouldn’t feel like home anymore either. There used to be the comfort of a number in your phone and ears that listened everyday and arms that were never for anyone else. But just to calm you down when you started feeling trapped in a five-minute period where nostalgia is too much and thoughts of this person you are feel foreign. When you realize that you’ll never be this young again but this is the first time you’ve ever been this old. When you can’t remember how you got from sixteen to here and all the same feel like sixteen is just as much of a stranger to you now. The song is over. The coffee’s done. You’re going to breathe in and out. You’re going to be fine in about five minutes.
