"’Day’ Look Kinda Blue to Me"

We’re still trying to guess what color Rachel Marie’s eyes will be. Right now they’re a muddy palette of earth tones with a few glints of blue, so I’m leaning toward having another brown-eyed girl. (Dave has caramel-brown eyes; I have greenish-blue eyes with a circle of yellow around the pupils. Dave has said my eyes look like they have sunflowers in them. Awwww… Madeline’s are dark brown like my mom and younger brother’s eyes.) However, Madeline is still betting on blue, her favorite color. Whenever we discuss Rae’s eye color, Madeline peers into them and says, “’Day’ look kinda blue to me.”

We’ll see…

Hi, I’m Kate

 

I'm the author of two nonfiction books Getting Past Perfect and Weightless, a storyteller*, overthinker, eating disorder survivor, mom of five, book junkie, socially awkward nerd as well as a speaker (so basically a walking and talking contradiction), and a perfectionist in recovery.

I am currently working towards my MFA in Fiction at Warren Wilson. Thank you to everyone who has read my drafts, offered feedback, and cheered me on. The writing life is often solitary, but I wouldn’t be here without a community of support.
