I live in California.

New Yorker, Southerner, 
and California girl all in one.

I am a lover of beautiful things

I like small creatures, 
big skies,
loud motorcycles, 
quiet nights,
long vintage dresses, 
short mod skirts,
and Springsteen.
I like surprises.
I have an affinity for blackberries and cupcakes. 

I’m vertically gifted 
and mathematically challenged.


I believe the best parts of life are the parts we create; a new dress, a good meal, picnics in the park, friends, love, and everything in between.

I’m perfectly happy being grumpy some of the time.

I don’t need liquid courage.</description><title>curled &amp; feathered</title><generator>Tumblr (3.0; @turquoisebird)</generator><link>http://turquoisebird.tumblr.com/</link><item><title>This was my lunch. Should be featured on...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://13.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ktlay0HEpJ1qzq44lo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;This was my lunch. Should be featured on ThisIsWhyYou’re&lt;i&gt;Not&lt;/i&gt; Fat.com&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks to my good friend Art, who knows how to take a few random ingredients in the fridge and turn them into something delicious.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;sprouted organic bread, toasted&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;olive tapenade spread&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;organic red leaf lettuce&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;organic butter lettuce&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;organic fat juicy and amazingly awesome tomato&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;organic sauerkraut&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;organic green bell pepper&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;grilled firm tofu marinated in nutritional yeast and soy sauce&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;sharp cheddar cheese&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;mashed avocado&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;sprouted organic bread, toasted&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;sprinkled with (more) nutritional yeast&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Bonus: he grew all the veggies himself.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://turquoisebird.tumblr.com/post/254996542</link><guid>http://turquoisebird.tumblr.com/post/254996542</guid><pubDate>Mon, 23 Nov 2009 17:32:24 -0800</pubDate></item><item><title>being in a serious relationship with someone doesn't mean you should ever stop doing the little things that counted so much in the beginning. romance holds even more importance as time goes on.</title><link>http://turquoisebird.tumblr.com/post/252140541</link><guid>http://turquoisebird.tumblr.com/post/252140541</guid><pubDate>Sat, 21 Nov 2009 11:22:00 -0800</pubDate></item><item><title>Harvest</title><description>This is what your fingertips will look like after trimming marijuana for sixteen hours.

It was a solo acoustic show and despite the 3,500 capacity sold-out Moscone concert hall, it was a very intimate and lovely performance. His music is very powerful for me and I had never heard him live before (although I did have lunch in his kitchen once.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All The Wild Horses as his encore left me with a face full of fresh tears. That man is a god with a voice like that and easy on the eyes, too.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://turquoisebird.tumblr.com/post/245765754</link><guid>http://turquoisebird.tumblr.com/post/245765754</guid><pubDate>Sun, 15 Nov 2009 23:17:26 -0800</pubDate></item><item><title>ragbag:

Born in Maine in 1919, she was a World War II nurse in Germany, married my grandfather, became a professional tennis player in Palm Beach Florida, birthed nine children, continued working as a nurse, started a business baking and selling rum cakes, and has enjoyed a life full of travel, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, fast cars, and adventure. She is a connoisseur of ice cream and a lady of fashion and has more hats than I do. She won’t leave the house without her makeup or her best shoes, even if she’s just going to the grocery store. She still goes to Mass every Sunday and she still stays up ‘til midnight playing cards and drinking Bloody Marys and she still makes me laugh more than anyone ever has.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here’s to you, Gammy.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://turquoisebird.tumblr.com/post/240715280</link><guid>http://turquoisebird.tumblr.com/post/240715280</guid><pubDate>Wed, 11 Nov 2009 14:18:00 -0800</pubDate></item><item><title>Cook to Bang: Recipes to get you laid.</title><description>&lt;a href="http://cooktobang.com/"&gt;Cook to Bang: Recipes to get you laid.&lt;/a&gt;</description><link>http://turquoisebird.tumblr.com/post/240049271</link><guid>http://turquoisebird.tumblr.com/post/240049271</guid><pubDate>Tue, 10 Nov 2009 23:24:16 -0800</pubDate></item><item><title>

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p class="article"&gt;“Louis, a giant Pacific octopus at the Blue Reef Aquarium in Cornwall, England, is so attached to his Mr Potato Head toy that he turns aggressive when aquarium staff try to remove it from his tank.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="article"&gt;“The giant Pacific octopus was given the toy for Christmas and has even learned to dig out food hidden in the secret box at the back of it.”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My nephew called me last week. The conversation went something like this:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Megan. I got… a POTATO HEEEEAAAAAD!”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“You DID?! A MISTER Potato Head?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Yessssssssss.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“All riiiight, buddy! That’s awesome!”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“You come over play wit’ me an’… an’… Mis— Mist—, um, Potato Head?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;:(&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And then I felt like a really bad aunt for being three thousand miles away.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://turquoisebird.tumblr.com/post/239855513</link><guid>http://turquoisebird.tumblr.com/post/239855513</guid><pubDate>Tue, 10 Nov 2009 19:53:00 -0800</pubDate></item><item><title>I have the most impressive/gluttonous collection of vintage...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://14.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ksxekg6AQl1qzq44lo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have the most impressive/gluttonous collection of vintage clothing ever.&lt;/p&gt;
