the things that are bad about today:

1/ hot messica not being able to come in, sos we can go to coney island

2/i didn't sleep well, and got up super early

the things that are great about today:

1/even though jess couldn't come, it's ok cause i can't really afford to do anything anyhow.

2/i stayed up late to do my sally hansen sticker floral nails. and got up early to do my hair.

3/ i got free shampoo and conditioner (full size) pictured above. did i mention free?

4/ i'm waiting for my lebanese food to be delivered. which i'm pretty effing psyched about.

5/ nips and i didn't fight on the phone.

6/ another good eyebrow day

and finally, i am moving out of this dorm. this belongs on neither list.

i have summer plans. work. and save money.

but my most interesting summer plan and summer goal is to learn how to cook 40 dishes. that's 40 dishes on top of the probably 10-12 i know how to cook now. i want variety so i can stretch my dollars.

here is what i know how to cook:

1. shepard's pie.

2.taco casserole

3. stir fry

4. rice (kind of)

5. spaghetti and marinara

6. bbq chicken

7. burgers.

here is what i kind of know how to make but not really:

8. homemade mac and cheese

9. meatloaf

10. stuffed grape leaves

11. tabouli

12. grilled anything

and here are some things i know i'm going how to learn to make:

1. spanish chicken and rice

2. lasagna

3. baked ziti

4. kibbe (lebanese)

and others.

i also want to learn how to make some desserts. not many, but some.

i need to learn to be an adult. i'm starting with my favorite part of being a human-- eating.
