Gorgeous day in the city today. We were all over town, running errands and eating. I can’t help it. I just love to stuff my face. Back again to IHOP for eggs, bacon, hash browns, and fluffy pancakes. Nopalito for…
Hulkzilla
I’ve gone through a range of emotions planning the wedding: stress, nostalgia, excitement, anxiety. Most recently, I’ve been nervous. But now, I’m angry. Yesterday, I sketched out our late September Italian honeymoon. 3 nights in Florence, 3 nights in Siena,…
