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.

Sisters
Last night, Jesse and I drove to Oak Island to see my godsister and her family. Her youngest was turning nine; on the drive over, Jesse asked how old she was going to be and I answered, “Seven or eight. I don’t remember for sure.” Jesse said, “I bet she’s nine.” I said, “No way. [...]
Dinner Party

Appetizers: caprese salad (mozzarella with tomatoes and basil from our garden), crusty bread with roasted garlic, and yellow teardrop tomatoes from our garden.

Iran Bans Mullets

The Atlantic Wire: Iran Bans Mullets
“In an effort to rid the country of ‘decadent Western haircuts,’ the Iranian government has unveiled a new list of state-sanctioned hairdos. Unfortunately for some, mullets, ponytails and eyebrow plucking didn’t make the list.”
