Fabio comes to visit














Recently i have not updated because my camera ran out of batteries
and I still have yet to find the charger.. so instead I stole Lucianos for the moment

Anyway, I have been very busy..
I just finished the illustrations for the book that is coming out
and I also was able to work in a show room in Milan for a good week
.. dont think i will want to do that again

If i havent told you yet, my eye has this ugly lump on the lid
and it is starting to go away, i think its a sty. (tmi)
so that has been keeping me from doing a lot of things

Lu and I are getting into shape to start modeling together
so we can have some extra cash (or just cash in general hah)
i havent gone jogging ever since the bump on my eye has set up camp though

and ive been keeping myself busy writing to people
(if youd like, send me your address via email and id be happy to write to you as well.. ohamandajane@gmail.com)

i put away all my summer and spring clothes and pulled out my winter ones
the weather in milano got very cold and rainy quickly, it makes me sad.

but fortunately some good news!
lucianos good friend from the south of italy, fabio..
came to visit us for a few days, he brought many gifts of food
so we had a big dinner with all of lus friend, and they
kindof had a guy night playing PES and talking about football(soccer)
and then we went to see an inter game together the next day

since lucianos friend came to visit, i thought id test out my cooking skills
also because this time i remembered that my mom bought me the
american measurement cups and spoons, which the italians find hysterical

i made them black berry crumble (i found the recipe on martha stewarts website)
it turned out pretty good, and i think ive been able to convince lu to allow
me to cook in the kitchen ... maybe hahah
