10 Things You May Not Know
  1. I recently spent a ridiculous amount on two sets of linen sheets. I'm quite sure Lee and I will never be satisfied with anything else. They have changed our sleep experience for the better.
  2. I'd rather wear a skirt than shorts. (My teenaged self is rolling her eyes.)
  3. I drink a green smoothie every day.
  4. When I'm alone in the car, I like to listen to the quiet.
  5. Red wine for sure, Malbec is my favorite...thank you Allen.
  6. At home, my favorite tunes can be found on the Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros Pandora station.
  7. I'm addicted to book reviews. I love to see the weekly Kirkus email appear in my inbox. I usually only find one or two books I'm interested in buying/borrowing, but man, I love to read the reviews.
  8. I don't wear necklaces much. They give me a headache. But I do love bracelets, mostly silver.
  9. I love the beach. Crave the ocean. But, I can't remember the last time I went in above my ankles. It's the sound and the smell and the way my body settles into a steady rhythm while I'm in its presence that fills me.
10. I've adopted a gluten free diet over the past several months. The only time I miss bread is when I'm ordering from a menu.
