Personal Digest #3 (Labor Day Weekend)

Tuesday, September 4th, 2007 | Personal Digest

Hi! A second personal digest in a row? Oh my. No, I haven’t run out of resources (one look in my vanity chest would confirm that)…just trying to change it up a little. I’m still chuckling at my oh-so-serious expression. Nope, it’s really not that serious. I’m just gonna chat about my holiday weekend (emphasis on weekend, the break was lovely).

There’s this shindig that goes down in the Short North in my city - the area around High Street spanning between downtown and the Ohio State University campus, to be brief - called Gallery Hop. Gallery Hop occurs the first Saturday of every month, and it basically gives people an excuse to…gallery hop (and shop)…without pressure to buy or be too serious. The business potential is great for galleries and boutiques in the area. It is also an excuse to get wasted, as there are ‘adult beverage’ offerings galore and for free (or 25 cents per shot as my post-drunken friend informed me). I did not drink at Gallery Hop; it was simply another opportunity for me and my best friend James to get done up and parade the city. Nothing too serious: I donned an updo with a Lux tunic dress, cute flip flops, and a random beaded necklace I found in my closet that I’d never worn. James wore an Abercrombie sweater with light wash Abercrombie jeans. It was a dress up/down affair.

All in all, it was a decent time. We took oodles of pictures, but I’ll spare the masses of the majority.


Other than that? I’ll leave you with the Diet Tip of the Day (unofficial, of course):

“Throw out the chips, lose those hips; Say no to fries, bye bye thighs”

Sadly, I did make that one up. However, the point is: Cut way back on carbs (if even for a week) and watch what happens with your body.That means hold out on the junk food, fast food, pizzas, pastas, and white bread. When your body burns up those stored carbs, water weight will fall away with it. You’ll also have tons more energy and clearer, glowing skin. Bye bye hips, thighs, and cellulite…try it!

P.S. I’d like to blow a kiss to Decadent Luxe and her fabulous vanity chest.

P.S.S. I switched site hosts this weekend, and it was a very bumpy transition! If any links are not working, don’t hesitate to comment and let me know. :*

The pictures in this post aren’t working right now. :( But I’m sure you’ll get it working.

Sounds like fun. OOOh I remember reading about James. That warms my soul that you guys are still friends. :) (YAY for interracial love BTW.)

Yay for diet advice as well. I have been cutting down portion sizes and doing pretty great lately. I am actually happy with my body as is (although I would like to slim down and tone up, I am not ashamed of my body I suppose is what I mean) except for my arms. I gained a bunch of weight and even tho I’ve taken 1/2 of what I gained back off, my arms are still huge in proportion to my body. :( Any tips?

I’m so glad we are online friends again; lol. ♥ And your posts have really gotten better thru time. Very professional and well-written, like Carrie Bradshaw editorials.

The gallery hop sounds interesting. I kind of want to suggest something like that at my uni now. I can’t wait to see the pictures of you and James all dressed up!!

OOH the top pic is stunning; you look like a supermodel.

Bento sounds so good right now.

My favorite thing is the photo where you’re smiling. You don’t smile in a lot of your photos but it makes you look a lot more personable and of course gorgeous.
