About
I'm a twentysomething MFA grad enjoying life in a state of flux, dreaming of Paris and San Francisco while loving the warm summer evenings in North Carolina. I'm a little irreverent, a little mercurial, with an uncanny knack for putting my foot in my mouth.

Maker’s Diet: Overview
I’m posting a letter I wrote to my god-sister Natalie to explain the Maker’s Diet. January is just around the corner, and I know I can’t wait to detox from all the great holiday food I’m about to completely stuff myself with! === Dear Natalie, I told you I would write to give you some [...]

Cats in Chicken Costumes
For Halloween, we found chicken “hats” for Oliver and Gracie. They were not amused. Thought I’d share the love with you. Also, it appears Gracie is finally packing on some extra weight! Her giant arm is back to normal now, too. We’re hoping her weight gain continues.

Things have been steady-as-she-goes here. Things have changed, but nothing has changed course. I [...]

Brandon has a blog.
And it’s about time. He’s funny and clever and sarcastic. A writer who hasn’t been writing enough. But I’m glad that’s changing. Check it out.

The Bulge
So, I got my cat back. Much to my relief. The good news and the bad news is that they can find nothing wrong with her. Well, really it’s only good news, unless there is something wrong that is more difficult (and therefore more expensive) to diagnose. But we’re back to the drawing board and [...]
