braids

Sigh. love this braid and statement necklace. and of course Rashida Jones.
I really want to learn how to braid hair well. I see so many ideas on tbd and pinterest, but I can't seem to learn how to do these on myself. I feel like I could do it on other people. Any suggestions on how to learn? other than "Just do it?" -_-

Fav Spanish Food: Tortilla Española

note to self make this when you get home

So fail

wow this time of year is so crazy with all this school piling up and crashing down and a church event or some event every weekend til may! exciting! everything seems to snowball and just tumble down and then at that moment in mid may i just sit back and say "wow that's all over now it was crazy!!" or "whoa all of that really happened??!" again and again God is faithful :) I think that's what I've been really looking forward to lately. that God would grow me in trusting Him in various ways because everything in the next three months to december is just so uncertain with school, job, my geographic location, etc.

So i guess the Pioneer Woman thing didn't go as well as planned (see previous posts if you have no idea what I'm talking about) but today i did cook!! I made dumplings and potstickers...i would post a picture but i forgot because me and my dinner guests were just so happy and hungry that we devoured it in an instant :) Happy hearts and tummies! I'm learning to just cherish these impromptu dinners and times of fun-filled fellowship around food

salad and pasta

so sunday i made "My Spinach Salad" i modified it a little (no bacon) and i used store-bought poppyseed dressing (because i was short on time and i love it!)
YOM! my notes: less onion because i dont like the overly sweetness because the dressings sweet and more egg..makes it more filling and yummy

now im making Pasta with Tomato Cream Sauce with just some leftover stuff i need to cook before i go home for spring break
im adding mushrooms and chicken and im cutting out cheese
yay for cooking! :)

i'm back!

I'm always on and off with blogging. I think it's because i just forget. hah. but i'll keep this up just so I can keep an online journal of sorts and you bloggerians can find out what i've been up to.
soo...
the fitness thing pretty much failed. This happens a lot. I get excited about something, and then that initial excitement dies in like a week or so...and it's happening again!
haha
I'm going to try PioneerWoman-ing! because im a big fan of Ree Drummond and her work on Pioneer Woman
Today I made a modified version of her Pasta alla Marlboro Man :D definitely tasted manly HAHA
My goal is to do one a week...can't guarantee anything though sometimes cooking becomes a rare occasion when it's midterms/finals season...which is OH RIGHT NOW!! :( but today I had a break and a headache...so i decided to cook instead of study YAY
What are you favorite Pioneer Woman recipes?? or just favorite recipes in general? Maybe i'll try making some of your suggestions. and hey if you live near me you will probably benefit from this :D esp if i make a dessert because we all know i do love food but i also love working out. so i probably don't want too much sugary stuff lying around after i come back from the gym :)

note to self: stronger arms=better babysitter/Momma (Lord willing)

So I realized lately that holding babies is hard. I always tell myself I'm gonna get toned arms...but no...doesn't happen

I think I'm gonna try push-ups even though i think they are so HARD

i think at the very minimum im gonna do 20 a day. Who wants to join me??? :)

ahh finals season...well, as they say nothing worth doing is ever easy...

GOTTA WORK

on a happier note! i love christmas music! i think today was one of those days that i realized i dont sing enough...maybe because i spend a lot of time in the library HAH lets hope it pays off
