I don’t feel like I can possibly do justice to the gratitude I have in my heart for last weekend, in Aspen, with my favorite people in the whole world. I wrote this immediately after returning home: Time somehow moves both slower and faster in Aspen. It’s as if you’re flush—with time, with friends, with…
Nali, Mom, and I are road trippin’ right now (presumably). We’re making the 20-hour+ trek so that I can bring my nervous lil pup back to Texas for two weeks! (follow along on insta stories for the hilarity…) Leaving behind my home even for a couple weeks, here are the things I’ll most miss: Sundays!…
Everybody’s out here getting gel nails and having manicures that last multiple weeks and I’m over there being a dirty hippie with my big-5-free natural nail polish that doesn’t stay that well and is sometimes hard to get off (with acetone-free remover)… but that’s a’changin’! Turns out there’s a new natural seaweed-based gel in town…
To me, it was no big deal. My mama has been filling in for me in desperate sports situations for years—she still talks about the time I made her play in a 3-on-3 basketball tournament in high school. So to ask her to play in two beach flag football games seemed totally reasonable to me……
Is this a cop-out for a Feel Good Friday? I have so much to be grateful for but after breaking from tradition last week and ranting earlier this week, I can’t quite get back to the ebullience of the previous gratitude lists. See you next week.
Y’ALL I KNOW I AM ANNOYING ABOUT THE THINGS I LOVE (ROSÉ, PATIOS, MY PATIO SPECIFICALLY, NALI, MY FRIENDS, BLAH BLAH) BUT I REALLY FREAKIN’ LOVE MY PATIO! Sunday: setup tv on beach to watch texans vs patriots. play vb. watch football. play vb. swim. PERFECT. Sunday afternoon: friends come over. babies. grillin’. rosé. PERFECT.…
You know what’s freakin’ awesome? When your “average” weekend includes a dress-up pub crawl (celebrating your birthday), at least five gallons of rosé, a random post-ocean-dip bike gang (beach cruisers natch) meetup that leads to an epic patio hang and ridiculous night out, brunch at Woody’s with bottomless mimosas (shhhh twice but don’t tell anyone, it…
I’m grateful I’m me! I’m me thanks to my awesome parents, who were out last weekend to celebrate their anniversary. And these friends helped me celebrate them and are now helping me celebrate me with a thrifty thirty three thrift shop pub crawl. More to come on that. 33 is gonna be a good year.…
She’s loud, she’s overprotective, she’s grouchy, she’s an old lady, she gets sand in my bed and refuses to leave the beach sometimes, she scares old ladies walking weird and kids skateboarding and friends who come over and strangers who manage to make their way into my house and I don’t mind it when she…
What I’m watching: (it’s a nice contrast) Insecure Ballers Suits What I’m boozing: (no surprises here) A surprisingly awesome Chilean pinot noir Rosé of cab is still my fave – Lot 557 Modern Times Fruitlands sour beer What I’m wearing: (aka wanting to buy more of) L*space reversible haley top for volleyball Kork-Ease platform sandals,…
