A fun sized ball of energy fueled by cupcakes, chai tea, soy milk and lip gloss. My laugh is contagious. Watch out. I believe in bourbon, coffee, lip gloss, and love. Not necessarily in that order. Yogi, theater junkie, writer, giggler, left-handed nerd, dancer. Online marketing manager, copywriter, e-marketer, New Yorker at heart. 28 + sometimes quietly, sometimes publicly, but always ISFJ.

Musings are random, but may include: food, yoga, bourbon, photography, baked goods, running, movies, music, and more.

So many people are shut up tight inside themselves like boxes, yet they would open up, unfolding quite wonderfully, if only you were interested in them.

I wouldn’t mind a bit if in a few years Zelda and I could snuggle up together under a stone in some graveyard. That is really a happy thought, and not melancholy at all.

Morning “muppet face,” a coin termed by B to describe, well…THIS face. See also: excitement, elation, joy.

You know I’m feeling better when I start snapping photos again. I don’t know what my immune system did while I was sleeping, but I like it!
