Half way there...

-
Okay so here's a quick wrap of how my goals have been going thus far.


Reading:  If you can't see five of the seven books are crossed out (AKA I finished them) and I'm currently working on number six.  Don't worry, if I finish those books before summer ends, I've got about seven more to read by the end of the year.  Oh yeah, cuz I have more, and purchased more after making this list, and yay reading!!

 365 Happy Days:  So I've been trying to make a list of happy things that happen each day on my phone, but I don't always keep up with it.  Right now it looks like it might be 325 happy days, but hopefully that is still good.  Pretty close when schedules get crazy and you forget about it for a week or so.  Oops.

Pass P- Chem: I'm halfway there.  I've passed physical chemistry 1 lecture, which was the first hurdle.  I am registered for physical chemistry 2 lecture, and waiting to get into physical chemistry 1 lab.  I'm hoping that with the help of my friends again, that I can get through this and pass it all.

Travel:  Well, I went to Texas, does that count?  Maybe the only traveling I've done, besides going to visit my boyfriend, but I guess getting to know new towns (even if in California) is still better then staying in a city and not doing anything.

Make the Deans list:  Sorry, not yet.  That C in physical chemistry didn't help my GPA much, because yes that is passing and I was happy, because again I got through it and didn't settle for anything less.

Bake More:  Eh, no not even close.  Don't think I've touched flour, or baking soda or anything besides packing them up and moving out of the dorms.  Maybe summer will change my mind.  Here's to hoping.

Workout 3x a week: That hasn't happened since I got back from school, and even the last few weeks of school finals and moving out there wasn't much time for a workout because studying and papers and homework were much more important (and work/class got in the way of some of it).  I wouldn't mind walking/hiking with my parents or going for a bike ride on my day off, but the bike needs to be fixed first, and without knowing what needs to be fixed I'm a bit in a slump.  

Thats it...
Hopefully the second half of the year goes a little better, especially now that I've looked at it and realized there is still so much to be done.

 When I go back and think, I may not have taken a picture of the dinners I made.  Nope no picture of the Cajun fried rice or the Cajun chicken pasta .  I even tried to remind myself to take a picture of it as my lunch, and even that was a no.   Guess I'll start with the fried rice since I made that first.  I think it seemed simple enough, and I was almost positive I had all of the ingredients or if not a substitute, as I switched the brown rice out for white.  For the life of me I kept forgetting to look and make sure we had shrimp, but also take it out to defrost.  Our freezer is not that big, but the shrimp was all the way in the back behind baked goods, chicken, berries and a few other things I forgot were in there.   Shrimp came out and defrosted day of, although I don't think they were deveined so they took a little more prep work once the cooking started.  Side note, my coworker had mentioned making shrimp tacos and I thought...

July

  Yikes!  Did the last month or so get away from me or what.  I had honestly started this, well prepped this a month ago, and then apparently life happened.  So before I'm two months behind, what did I make in July.   I made lots of things with cream cheese, and if you keep up more will come, a because these mini cheese cakes were a bit of a cheat while I yet again wait on buying something that I may not have room for in my kitchen right now.  Yes a springform pan takes up less room then a stand mixer, but how often will I use it?  Actually if I had one I might use it as regularly as I am my muffin tin and donut pan.  Well, maybe not but at the rate I'm going at least once every couple months.   Now I went with mini cheesecakes to lets say ease myself into it.  I've had most if not all the ingredients for a month, and was just waiting for the right time, and I may have pushed back because cheesecake isn't really a summer treat...

List of Making

 I've got a few things scattered here and there, and pins saved for a rainy day but if I write them here maybe make myself more accountable they might be more likely to happen.  I thought about lasagna a few weeks ago, knew I had most of what I needed, just needed a recipe really.  Do I have my mom's recipe or is it one of those things that's more in her head but not written down anywhere?   I also talked to her about making chicken and dumplings to get her thoughts/input since I've got bisquick and I think it would go over well here.   Just went through my "recipe book" I typed up before starting college thinking I was going to be like my sister who had moved out a year before making all these fancy things for myself for dinner.  Makes me laugh what I put in it.  Mostly desserts, some snack or side dishes and maybe a few actual meals.  Way to go Carrie from ten years ago! So here is the list (probably won't make all of these) but it sh...
