About Me

I have a lovely husband named Chuck. My little baby pal is Henry, who's terribly attractive, enormously clever, and chubby. I love brand new sharpies, avocadoes, gardening, zebras, green tea, breaking down boxes, juicing, gewurtztrameiner, lemongrass, jalepenos, turtles, tap dancing, juggling, taking out the trash, board games, and seaweed salad. I've been known to carve spoons, knit scarves, and make trophies. I almost always miss my sister. I absolutely love magicians. I dislike sweeping, mayonaisse, laziness, people who don't take me seriously, fast food, and stale espresso. I have lots of rocking friends who are clever and excellent. In addition to my doctoral pursuits in English, I've recently decided to attempt an MA in Linguistics. I'm silly that way.
