That girl from Shallotte: May 2014
http://thatgirlfromshallotte.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 17, 2014. In which I learn a valuable beauty tip from a proper Southern lady. Today at the costume shop, a very well-outfitted, attractive, charming 70-something couple drove in from Kinston (a couple of hours away down east) to find her an outfit to wear at the benefit to celebrate the 100th anniversary of a children's home in Kinston, located in a Civil War-era house on 122 acres. She would be leading tours of the historic home and needed period-appropriate attire. I was seven years old w...

That girl from Shallotte: Middle-school paparazzi
http://thatgirlfromshallotte.blogspot.com/2015/04/middle-school-paparazzi.html
Saturday, April 25, 2015. So I was minding my own business walking down Jones Street past the entrance to the natural science museum, where approximately eleventry hundred field trip kids were waiting to board activity busses back to their small towns in far-flung counties. That lady has pink hair! I heard them squeal as they started taking my picture. This This was my punk-rock moment. This was where I was supposed to shoot double birds with a cigarette dangling from my lips. That girl from Shallotte.

That girl from Shallotte: September 2012
http://thatgirlfromshallotte.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 12, 2012. I can't invoice my husband. So yeah, I've been sitting around here without a job for a while now and I am getting bored. Mr Sweetypants just popped into my playroom to ask a simple grammar question: What is the rule about "that" versus "which"? Gah, I used to get paid for this. That girl from Shallotte.

That girl from Shallotte: June 2012
http://thatgirlfromshallotte.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 28, 2012. Love, TGFS style. For Mr. Sweetypants's first birthday as a married man, and because he is an avid reader, I took him to Borders for a shopping spree. I reminded him to bring his Borders rewards coupon for a free slice of cake. And from that moment on, the joke was, "Don't forget your coupon! He had also been wanting a 12-string acoustic guitar for his home recording studio. So I ordered one online and had it delivered to my friends Rex and Ray to keep for me until the big day.

That girl from Shallotte: Memory revival!
http://thatgirlfromshallotte.blogspot.com/2014/07/memory-revival.html
Tuesday, July 22, 2014. I was talking to my Sainted Southern Mother when the conversation turned, as conversations do, to Ray Stevens' "The Mississippi Squirrel Revival.". SSM told me the story of a fella who attended Wednesday night services at the Pentecostal church by her childhood home out in the country. He had a proclivity for getting his Holy Ghost on and running around the sanctuary.

That girl from Shallotte: February 2012
http://thatgirlfromshallotte.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 15, 2012. Don't you ever stop being dandy. I got laughed out of the gymnasium when I spoke to the student body in 10th grade. Because of the way I dressed. So I want to wrap my arms around every different kid in every small town ever and promise them that ridicule is nothing to be scared of. Then they'll roll their eyes at me and make fun of my old-people music. And I'll think they're adorable, but I won't tell them. For JT, Butter and Kissy Fur. That girl from Shallotte. That is so f...

http://thatgirlfromshallotte.blogspot.com/2013/08/costume-shop-chronicles-vol-2.html
Monday, August 26, 2013. Costume Shop Chronicles, Vol. 2. That girl from Shallotte at that costume shop in Raleigh. How many customers or clients on the phone today told you, "I think I love you"? I never in a million years thought I'd use the words, "great friend," "funniest person I've ever met" and "boss" to describe the same person. then I met Louie. Hey, at least my writer's block finally cleared up. After I drink this liter of Pepe Lopez tequila and get back from my Silkwood shower at our local nuc...
