i am having to relearn how to cook and bake. it's a bit annoying. everything seems to take so much longer! last night i was making curry for dinner, and what used to take me about 30 minutes took almost an hour. ridiculous!

and i can't find my spice rack anywhere, so i have a bunch of spices taking over my island. just a few more things to put away and my kitchen will be done! too bad i can't say the same for the rest of the house.

we're planning to just paint our master bedroom and bathroom for now. i might paint my office, but we'll see. paint is so expensive! everything related to home improvement is expensive! grr...
