On Thursdays, I am cooped up at school all day and night. Boo! But I love my classes and they keep me interested... most of the time.
Here is snap shot of some name doodles I did during lecture. At least its kinda relevant to my Typography class... right? Here are some other doodling projects I found on the web. I actually found an entire blog of doodles: Doodler Blog They are MUCH more complex and creative than mine. But at least they'll give me ideas for next week!
Baseball season has finally arrived! After last season... and the Giants taking the World Series, I have been anticipating this day for quite some time. And it doesn't hurt that we started off with a successful preseason rally against the A's:

After some super tasty treats this weekend, I thought I would post something on the healthier side. Contrary to the Jelly Belly outing, I do try to keep it pretty healthy. I just like to allow myself a little wiggle room for my oh-so-sweet tooth.

My usual breakfast consists of something cottage cheese. Not everyday, but I do love it and enjoy mixing it up with different ingredients to keep it tasty, but still nutritious.
I usually add a little yogurt to my cottage cheese. It adds some flavor and helps take the edge off the cottage cheese a bit.
This morning I also added a small banana, blueberries, and walnuts.
{Please excuse my iphone photos!}
Lastly, I added a teence of flaxseed meal. Flaxseed to anything adds a lot of nutrients and fiber.... which are both especially good for breakfast.

Cottage Yogurt Mix:
1 cup Nonfat Cottage Cheese
2 oz yogurt
1 small Banana
20 Blueberries
2 tbsp Walnut pieces
1/2 tbsp Flaxseed Meal (I use Bob's Red Mill)

The Goodness: 365 Calories, 5.3g Fiber, 24g Protein! Plus, a good serving of your Calcium and Vitamin C for the day (over 20% of each). A lot more than you can say for a bowl of Captain Crunch! Which happened to be my ultimate childhood fav!

The Bird and I had a little sweet tooth this weekend between house hunting and lunch. Incidentally, we ran into a little place called Sweet Tooth. They had an overwhelming display of sweets at our disposal. Not only did they carry old fashion candy bars, sell bins of candy by weight, and have a display case of a variety of truffles, they also had frozen yogurt! It was just beautiful... and bright... and fun!

We opted for some bin candy and had some fun with mix & match. All the bright colors and yummy treats inspired me to research a few dessert tables out there, inspired by Jelly Bellys!

Vintage anything is pretty much right up my alley. Now when you factor in typography... I'm completely over the edge in love! I have been learning so much about font and type faces. I am absolutely enamored! So I thought I would smush the two together today to create a Vintage Chic Collage of some pretty fabulous finds.
