an attempt at vulnerability
i'm not perfect.
(although sometimes i try to appear that way...)
i want people to like me.
sometimes i try to fit in.
i can be stubborn and am almost always opinionated.
my greatest fear is rejection.
i am anxious about change.
i get anxious about feeling like things will NEVER change.
i am very emotional.
VERY.
this video is worth your time.

steph: the white girl
for christmas, my dear squeenchy mother-in-law gave us 3 of her favorite books. one of them?
he's the author of "stuff white people like"... this is like a sequel. welllllll. i started browsing the topics in the book and laughed heartily over and over again. I AM SO WHITE!
although there were MANY funny things i recognize in the broader white community, here are a few of the things i was shocked peg me as a white girl.
LIKING:
-foreign accents
-unpaid internships (costa rica! and i wouldn't have wanted to be paid for it!)
-punk rock (apparently we've all unashamedly dabbled in it at one point?)
-promising to learn a new language (i REALLY want to nail down Spanish.)
it only gets weirder. white people like
-BERRY PICKING? how did he know?!
-community supported agriculture?! (charlie and i have been planning out how he could start one of these!)
-whole wheat (duh.)
-anthropology (but their stuff is SOOO pretty!)
-monty python (although he EVEN knew women hate it because the men in their life quote it FAR too often!)
-losing weight (how is that ALWAYS on my list of things to do?)
-trader joe's! (i've never even BEEN there and love it!)
-products made by people named tom (but they give away shoes!)
-world music (arahdna, anyone?)
-sweaters (has anyone seen my cardigan collection?)
-road trips (charlie and i are planning one up to canada! uhhh, melissa, leslye, can we stop by?!)
-not vaccinating children (maybe not completely. but we're going to seriously look into it.)
-swimming (swimming lessons? for 7 years?)
-HUMMUS! (really? only white people?)
-heirloom tomatoes! (i've been asking charlie to plant some!)
-where the wild things are! (i bought that for my fox-e nephew!)
-long distance relationships (umm... maybe he modeled this book after my life?)
-growing their own food (charlie's ordering spring and summer vegetable seeds like a maniac. if we don't end up selling in a farmer's market, we're going to be eating a fully vegetable diet!)
-the office
-being offended (for other people! i take a lot personally even when it has nothing to do (directly) with me)
-thailand (seriously?!)
almost 40 of the 92 things i strongly identified with. i think 40 is more than coincidence.
ha. i always knew i was pasty. hope you were as humored by this as me!

The Loups
- Stephanie
- My best friend Charlie and I moved from the deep South to the great North for me to go to graduate school at the University of Minnesota. I earned a Masters Degree in Public Health Nutrition and Dietetics, and we've moved back to Louisiana. I'm a dietitian who wants to help people improve their quality of life through healthy eating! We love adventures, traveling, food and family. We have two dogs: our corgi Punkin and our lab goofy Rufus. We are very blessed to be in love and to walk through life together!
hey boo!
