About Me:

I’m a twenty-something girl who loves to write and never leaves the house without at least one Moleskine journal and several ink-pens. My parents spent a lot of money on my English degree so I figure hey, why not make them proud by writing my very own blog! I’ll let you know how they feel about it, right after I figure out a way to explain to them things like “RSS feeds” and “the purpose of Twitter.”

I married a good man - Flannery O’Connor said it best when she said, “a good man is hard to find,” but I was lucky enough to find mine, and he makes me happy every day.

I am a Texan through & through. I have been known to say things like “he couldn’t find his butt with both hands” and “bless her heart.” I sleep with a gun on my nightstand and consume sweet tea, Shiner beer, and large quantities of meat.

I’m the proud owner/mommy of The World’s Most Giant Long-Haired Chihuahua and The World’s Tiniest Australian Shepherd – their names are Pancho & Leia, respectively. PS: If you don’t own sheep, you probably shouldn’t get an Australian Shepherd. (We don’t own sheep.)

I’m a nerd (but not a geek) and my iPhone is permanently attached to my hand. I make a living by working from home on “teh internets,” and spend 8-12 hours every day on my computerz – a MacBook for work and a 15″ MacBook Pro for play.

I like: Taking pictures, teapots, a clean house, spray paint, IKEA, gaudy jewelry, and cooking/baking.

I dislike: Carpet stains, crippling perfectionism, split pea soup, Tom Cruise, and non-Apple computers.
