things i've realized about me

i don't even know if anyone reads this anymore but i figure, if i have a blog i might as well write on it even when i'm not gallivanting through the foreign world.

it seems that recently i have learned, or better yet, realized a lot of fun things about myself that make me me.

the main thing i have learned is that i LOVE cooking/baking/being in the kitchen. i wouldn't say my culinary skills are much to brag about at this point but somehow being in the kitchen, listening to good music and making something for people that i love brings me a great joy. this weekend i experimented with a dinner rolls recipe that i found online and it turned out to be DELICIOUS! even better, i got to make them with my good friend which only made the experience all the better.

here's the link if you are looking for a rolls recipe: recipe

i have to say though, somehow mine didn't come out as fluffy or shiny like those in the pictures so maybe sifting the flour is more important that i thought. plus the "pastry cloth" that i have no clue about might make a difference...

also, one thing i've finally admitted to myself is that i LOVE watching tv. i'm trying to give it up for Lent to have more time to be productive but i keep making excuses which shows my need for Jesus because i fall short in everything without Him. that brings me to my next learning point, i am learning more about who i am in Him and that rocks. i am hoping and praying about what the future brings because may 16th is turning into a great post-graduation/dreadful day.

one more thing i'm admitting more than i am learning is that i LOVE to sleep in. it's just a fact. no matter what time i go to bed, be it midnight or 2 am i still want to and probably could sleep until at least 11 if not noon. i used to be embarrassed by this fact but now i just embrace it. plus i am a night owl so sleeping in just comes with the territory. might as well enjoy it for the time being because i know that being a teacher (in the distant future) i will have to get up before the sun so i might as well sleep while i can.
