Yeah okay this time I have no excuse. Writing has just been difficult lately. Especially last Thursday after a five-course dessert tasting from VOX Table (everyone go try the fromage blanc immediately) followed by a long-awaited five-course dinner at actual farm Eden East. That's 10 courses, six of which were desserts. DON'T TELL ME WRITERS DON'T WORK HARD!
Thank you Hayden (of Austin Food Magazine) for this picture during the Eden East dinner that captures my true elegance.

An old post of mine was republished on Thought Catalog. Literally the day I got the request for republishing was a day I just wanted to stay curled up in bed and hide from everything in the world, so it was pretty serendipitous timing to get this encouragement.

Wedding Announcement For the Most Insufferable People In The World - What do you think is the worst part? Personally, I enjoy the line "she asked him: “‘Is this fair? We are not too close, right?’ He said, ‘No, we are just two pilgrims along the way, traveling together for a while.’” Seriously. Someone said that to another person and then they got married.
How God Created Animals - These always make me chuckle.
