  • A girl’s guide to a beer festival (ok fine, it’s for guys too)

    So, I’ve been to a few beer festivals over the years and I’ve always really enjoyed them. This past weekend I attended Charlotte Oktoberfest, and it was so much fun! Every time I go to a festival, though, I see people walking in the door with their pretzel necklaces on, and I think, “Oh yeah,…

  • Make your own kind of music

    What’s a redecorating project without art? The only bad thing about working with  me is that I’m a pain in the ass when it comes to art. I like it to be custom. I don’t want someone to walk in my house and say, “Oh, I have that same print!” or “Oh, you got that…

  • Waffle House, an exboyfriend, and being 18

    A memory It is 1996, and we are seniors in high school. Brian and I had just broken up, so things are weird between us. Susan, Brian and I are at Waffle House, so it must be the middle of the night. I am so happy to just be in his presence, although I am…
