About Me

I am a little mama who just moved to a kick-ass island that I can't even say the name of because then you'll all move here and the housing will become even more scarce than it all ready is. So you'll just have to take my word for it, but believe me it rocks out. I have a beautiful little boy who loves to organize things and put lids back on to jars. I'm engaged to be married to a wonderful man who tells me I'm prettier when he's drunk (to be fair, I do look prettier when I drink, too). Right now I don't have a fridge ar a toilet and I couldn't be happier, I'm going to garden with some ancient compost (I'm really excited!) this year, at any given point I miss my sister, I snuck my 18 month old placenta into my friend's freezer, and I gotta grow some grapes or something because I'm stuck drinking this homemade brown wine........

Day 3: The Lonesome Pine

Yesterday was not much of a day for food. To tell the truth, I barely ate at all. I woke up at 8:30, which to me is really sleeping in, and didn't get hungry for quite a while. After breakfast, I didn...
