    #buttonbreak2018

    Hampton hates buying presents, which is why we always take a trip for our anniversary. Since we celebrated his 40th in Miami in February, we went slightly more low-key and headed up to the mountains of North Carolina to celebrate #4 in one of our favorite places: Asheville. After getting stuck in terrible traffic (which…

  • Makin’ a Headline Out of a Hunch

    Open the gates… Possibly my number one pet peeve, even over people who park like jerks, is when people are negative about things that other people care about. When they feel the need to give their unsolicited whining on said thing because it makes them feel superior. So please know that this post is Not…

    Read Everything

    “Read, read, read. Read everything — trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You’ll absorb it. Then write. If it’s good, you’ll find out. If it’s not, throw it out of the window.” ― William Faulkner My To Be…

  • I Love My Willy

    I Love My Willy

    Remember that time I said I was taking a break? There were two shows I really wanted to do and two shows I kindof wanted to do, but then I realized… I love my couch. But then I got a message from Jessica, the founder and leader of the Phoenix Theatre Company. She had procured…

    Happy Little Clouds

    I had a headache most of yesterday — a skip out of work early, don’t go to aerial yoga because your skull might explode in inversions, slug on the couch while Hampton cooks and serves, go to bed super early with double sleeping pills headache. Double sleeping pills that refused to kick in. So when…

  • Life is Too Short to Have Boring Hair

    If you know one thing about me, it’s that you’ve probably never seen my real hair color. The day after my senior photos, I dyed it black to be an Indian in Peter Pan, and never looked back. So you can imagine my excitement when the first Influenster box I received was product for color-treated…

    Be a Warrior

    Our official pics were recently finished by Dancing Lemur, and the new movie has been out for a bit, so no better Friday than today to tesser and flash it back to Little Theatre of Winston-Salem’s A Wrinkle in Time this fall. To be perfectly honest, I had no intention of auditioning for this show. I…

    The Best Laid Plans…

    For a few months, I have been volunteering on the marketing committee of Piedmont Environmental Alliance, mainly with Instagram – and even this handy blog post. However, I am hardly the world’s best volunteer. In an attempt to assuage my guilt, I signed Hampton and myself up to work a night of the Particle Falls…

    A1A (Beachfront Avenue)

    When we first got the emergency vet estimate, we debated cancelling Hampton’s birthday trip. But when our sweet Louisa didn’t make it and my mother back Home in PA fell and broke her shoulder the same day, we decided we NEEDED a vacation. Like most Flat 493 trips, we had our fancy dinner reservations made…
