Ran: 7.2 miles. Missed Saturday’s run, so Taylor and I ran 2 miles on Sunday. Guess that means we’ll have to bump up the distance soon.
Reading: Finished Truman Capote’s Summer Crossing. I’d give it 2/4 stars. Took a friend’s advice and checked out Ernest Hemingway’s A Moveable Feast.
School: Already set a date for my Senior Show, a day before Graduation. Life...

Homemade Mayonnaise
I’d been craving chicken salad for a while. Who knew it was so easy to make your own mayo?
1. Combine 1 egg yolk, pinch of salt, half a lemon juice & teaspoon white wine vinegar. Whisk together until bright yellow.
2. Add 1/4 cup of vegetable/olive oil into the mixture by dripping a few drops in at a time. Continuous whisking for 4 minutes until oil is all in.
3. Add another 1/2 of...

Ran: 8 miles. Week two of a mile a day was better. I can feel myself getting stronger each run. It’s not the actual runs that are hard, it’s the process of getting out of bed & onto the road.
In the process of: refinishing the kitchen chairs. Sanding, staining & recovering new cushions, oh my.
Fantasizing over: Paris, again. I even looked up photography jobs. Let me...

Apps I'm obsessed with
So there are only a handful of apps I’m completely obsessed with.
The first is Daytum. You can track anything and everything your little heart desires. I’m tracking things like new meals I’ve cooked & books I’ve read this year. The app syncs to the website allows you to make beautiful graphs like these.
Second is The Eatery. Another tracking app that allows you to...

Shrimp & Okra Gumbo
In lieu of LSU’s defeat last night, here’s my Shrimp & Okra Gumbo recipe.
1. Bring 8 cups of water to a boil & salt lightly.
2. Peel 1 lb of shrimp. Put the shrimp in the fridge for later and place the shells in the boiling water. Let it boil then simmer for 15 minutes to give some flavoring to the water. After 15 minutes, remove the shells and set water aside for...

I’ve suffered through the corny twilight movies & countless others to know that movies are usually a disappointment compared to their books. I understand it’s hard to fit a 400+ page novel into a 2 hour movie. I’m starting to sound like a broken record here because I keep raving about The Help, but I finally watched the movie last night. I found myself terribly giddy about it...

Ran: 8.86 miles. I am not a runner, by any means. One of my resolutions this year is to run a mile a day. My playlist is made up of the revengeful/payback songs of Taylor Swift.
Read: I finished reading The Help. Taking full advantage of the library 2 blocks away.
Watched: 1. BBC Modern Masters: Andy Warhol. After taking a semester long class on the man, I still learned and connected some...
