I write about theatre, traveling, and life as a newlywed and grad student. I love my husband. I enjoy flossing my teeth. And, aside from raindrops on roses, these are a few of my favorite things: Franny and Zooey by J.D. Salinger | Our Town by Thornton Wilder | The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock by T.S. Eliot | Sufjan Stevens | walking over the Brooklyn Bridge at night | dancing my little heart out | laughing with my husband

sunshine on my shoulders

my favorite part

This weekend included lots of dressing up, high heels and applause. There was a standing ovation on Sunday, and lots of good food too. It was a wonderful, full series of days. But my favorite part? S...

sleepy love

When I finally snuggled in next to my husband late last night, he was deep in a cozy sleep. So I wouldnt wake him, I whispered "I love you" in the slightest tone. Out of a dream world ca...
