what do you do when you’re sad?
“Usually call @sydncyfitzpatrick and we end up on the porch swing with a couple bottles of wine and one of mama’s cherry pies. But if she’s not available or I just feel like bein’ alone, I curl up on the couch with the pups… it usually involves a large pizza with all the fixin’s, a tub of ice cream, and three movies that make me cry every single time. Then I fall asleep on the couch, wake up at 3AM with a stomach ache, chug some pepto and crawl into bed to catch a few more hours of sleep before my alarm goes off.”
what are some things you do when you can’t sleep?
“I got outside and count the stars. There’s an old hammock in between a few old feedin’ posts near my house and I go and lay in it and count the stars, tryin’ to find as many constellations as I can. If I’m real wired up I’ll go out into the field and lay on a blanket, but usually it’s the hammock… oh, and a glass of warm cinnamon milk. My mama always used to use it when one of us couldn’t sleep. Way before that guy on Sex and the City.”
what was the best (non-romantic) night you’ve had?
“Oh, this one’s easy. The spring break before we graduated high school, me and the girls rented a lakehouse for the week and the last night there we all had had way too much wine and were floatin’ in the pool. It sounds super lame, but we were all in this little circle… I think Hales had an entire box of pizza on her stomach and we were all munchin’ on that, too, anyway, we were just talkin’ and laughin’ and my God… I don’t think I’ve ever felt so at peace before. Not with the horses, not on the ranch, not anywhere but right there, with my girls. To this day it was the best night.”
what kind of covers do you have on your bed?
“Regular ones? I mean… in the winter I have a thick comforter on my bed. It’s old and a faded navy blue with a couple of bleach stains in the right corner from an unfortunate laundry incident thanks for a certain unnamed friend (@halessinclair). But right now, since it’s summer, I just have a sheet and a light white blanket. Nothin’ fun or excitin’.”
who is the last person you told a secret to?
“Oh, um… Honey. She counts as a person, right? If you mean the actual human and not animal person, then… @ianhenderscn, probably. He knows all my secrets.”
