ambition
mom, wife, writer/author, personal stylist, simple soft-serve ice cream and hot dog shoppe owner; i tease my dad that someday we're going to open a hot dog, ice cream, and doughnut shoppe together; he just laughs at me
bad habit
hitting the
"snooze" button too many times
city
oakland,
california; hooray for the east bay!
drink
water water water
education
everything i know
i learned from my mother
food
mom's fried
chicken and dad's homemade pies
guilty pleasure(s)
a bag of cheetos
all to myself
hometown
dover, ohio
ice cream
breyer's cherry
vanilla or bi-rite's honey lavender
jonesing for
the sound of my
niece saying my name and giving me a kiss
kryptonite
beautiful shoes,
and i mean beautiful--the shape of the toe, the heel, the material and less
about adornments
look-a-like
a mash-up of zooey
deschanel and mary tyler moore
movie
marie
antoinette starring kirsten dunst; the scenery and music and costumes are
lovely and i get lost in it every time i watch
nicknames
only one, katie
kate
obsession
j.crew sales--i'm
always checking for great buys, always; and wedding blogs; i love seeing what creative things people do to celebrate their big day and, of course, the wedding dresses
perfume
chanel
mademoiselle
quirk
i can't leave my
apartment with my bed unmade--it's nearly physically impossible
regrets
not taking better
advantage of the time i had to live with my maternal grandparents; so many
things i should have asked them--the things they could have taught me
starbucks
i prefer peet's
--steamed nonfat milk with a pump of nonfat vanilla and cinnamon sprinkled on
top
talent
subtle details,
like the way words are laid out on a poster or dropping in a skinny
brightly-coloured belt where it would otherwise not have been considered
university
sitting on the
kitchen countertop while mom was preparing dinner or listening to dad during
dinner taught me most everything i need to know; i still pick up things from
them
vacation
ludington,
michigan climbing the sand dunes or wherever my family and loved ones are
wine
non-drinker but
when i do drink i prefer henry weinhardt root beer
x
xoxo, my standard
signature line
years
thirty-two
zen
taking walks with
the dogs along the cow paths on the farm in ohio
