Downhill We Go!

Quick update: almost a week after my super binge trip to NYC/Philly, I’ve officially lost all the weight that I gained back on my trip.  So yes, I’m set back a week, but I’m back on track baby! Oh, and I LOVE the loseit.com iPhone app.  It allows me to add all the food that [...]

I Cheated…

Per my previous post, I took a mini-vacation over the weekend, and I was baaaadd. What’s bad?  Let’s just say I didn’t take any pictures of the evidence, a.k.a. I was too busy being mesmerized by the food to have remembered to take photos. All-you-can-eat sushi, burritos, buckets of food truck food, and of course [...]

Tips, Nibs, & Parallel Pens

I’m taking a Romans calligraphy class every Tuesday now, and we’re learning Trajan this semester. Honestly, I’d rather be learning Carolingian (below) or even Copperplate, which looks super difficult.  But Romans is probably the simplest (it seems maybe?) to get my toes wet in calligraphy before trying something more difficult. Llast week, my friend Jean [...]
