It's Sunday, which means it's time to pour a cup of coffee, snuggle up next to the pooch, and catch up on last week's events.
Interesting Reads:
- Scription: Scription Chronodex Weekly Planner 2012 - free download with the cost of a prayer - Patrick Ng's Chronodex is a great way to map out the day and create realistic expectations.
- My Life All in One Place: Make your own Midori Traveler's Notebook kraft file - This is about as crafty as I'm willing to get. A cheap alternative to a Midori Kraft folder.

Things that made me drool:
- Metallic Vanishing Point Collection - Goulet Pens - I'm on the edge of buying a Desert Orange Vanishing Point, but I want to see one in person first. I'm worried that it's too sparkly for business. Thoughts?
- Kaweco Sport Fountain Pen Brass F Nib - Amazon - I love my Kaweco Skyline Sport, but this beauty is weighted perfectly. Maybe one day. (Note, Affiliate Link, since not available on JetPens).

- Pilot Metropolitan Fountain Pen - Fine Nib - Black Plain Body - JetPens.com - This is my first Japanese nib. I want to see how the Pilot "Fine" compares to the Lamy "Fine", before I jump into a more expensive Japanese pen.
