Yummy idea

I recently saw a pin on Pinterest for "Lasagna Grilled Cheese." The picture did not look very good, but the idea of having pasta on a sandwich stuck with me.
I had a handful of frozen raviolis left in the freezer from making a ravioli casserole for a Christmas gathering. I boiled them up and put them on bread with some cheese. After toasting it, it was judgement time.
I don't usually like grilled cheese, but I used cheddar instead of American and used minimal butter. I was pleasantly surprised. I really enjoyed the sandwich.
It was a little messy because the ravioli weren't stuck to the cheese well enough, so next time I would maybe add some shredded cheddar that would fill the gaps between the pasta. I would also add a little bit of marinara for some added flavor.

I was rather proud of myself for experimenting with food and being successful!

Getting old and color combinations.

I turn 22 in just over a month. That is crazy for me to think about. There's nothing exciting about that age. Almost being older than 21 makes me feel old. Like, people don't expect me to go out and have fun anymore. The only plus side to this birthday is that I'm going all-out to plan a party that will let me spend time with all of my friends one last time before everyone leaves for the summer.

I have a new obsession. With a color scheme. Teal, yellow, and gray are gorgeous together. I've always liked the color combination (when the right shades are used), but I never really noticed it until recently. I want to add yellow to my home to make it a bright and cheery place, and teal is my favorite color. Gray just happens to tie them together really nicely.
I never thought I would appreciate the color, but gray has an ability to look very nice. It's subtle, and smooth. The dark-ish shades make me think of being grounded.

What are your favorite color combinations? Let me know in the comments if you feel so inclined.
Thanks :)

New Motivations

I've been trying to find motivation to work out and eat right for years. Sometimes I find something that lasts for a few weeks. Sometimes it barely lasts a few hours.
I recently got my hair cut. The next morning, I tried styling it. I was all ready to go to class and looked in the mirror one last time to make sure I was put together. I was appalled that my haircut made my face look chubby unless I tucked it behind my ears.
Rather than letting myself get too worked up about it, I decided that I do, in fact, like this haircut. I'm pretty sure that losing a few pounds would prevent that chubby look. My awesome new hair is my new motivation. It's something that isn't going to go away very quickly, so I'm hoping that my motivation lasts long enough for me to start seeing a difference in myself!

A fresh start and Tea

I've attempted to have blogs before, but it never works out very well. I vow that I'm going to post every day. And when that doesn't happen, every week. In the end, my blog stays desolate and un-updated.
This time, I will have no schedule for how often I'll blog. There will be nothing specific that I have to blog about. I'll just post something whenever I have a thought that I feel is worth sharing.

The thought that made me decide to start blogging again?
I'm ready to live in a big-girl dwelling. Preferably a multi-bedroom house. I want to be able to decorate the different rooms, paint the walls, have throw pillows that bring everything in the room together. But mostly, I found some cool "Tea Station" things on Pinterest, and I want to have a place with a room that I can devote to tea drinking. I suppose it should be the same room as my library, since drinking tea and reading books go well together. I would just have to make sure that tea never gets spilled on my books!

Well anyway, thanks for reading. I may or may not post again soon- Time (and my thoughts) will tell!
