Missing Texas: Crawfish and Texas Country
There are many things I never knew were Texan until I left—saying “fixin’ to”, describing distances in minutes instead of miles, making small talk with grocery store cashiers—but there were others I knew I’d miss: Texas country, crawfish (it may be Cajun but we host Crawfish Boils like no one else, even when it’s 1,000 [...]

Meanwhile, in Austin … F1, H&M, and free food
As the former thisislifeinaustin, I still get a fair amount of Austin news, and I often wish I was in town for the fun. Despite the fact that my 10-year high school reunion is next week (what?! and does that warrant its own post??), I won’t be coming home til December. However, were I in [...]

Colorado Resident
After just 2.5 years, it’s really official. I’ve never had another state’s ID before (and they definitely take worse pics than Texas). I think I’m excited, but it’s bittersweet. Texas will always be home.

Austin: Fall Restaurant Week
It’s officially fall everywhere. I thought I could fight it by wearing sundresses with cardis and boots, embracing the afternoon sun and ignoring the evening chill in Aspen, and generally pretending like it wasn’t happening (denial is what we call that), but this week I’ve slowly come around. I mean, even Austin is admitting it [...]

Rent a Moving Box: BungoBox
I can’t remember the last time I used cardboard boxes to move—I have enough duffles, storage bins, and assorted containers to move my small amount of stuff from Austin to Aspen to place to place. Moving into my house for the first time, however, was a different story. I wish BungoBox had existed then! Founded in [...]

The Friends-As-Family Generation
Subhead: Making Friends in Anywhere. I’m constantly amazed at the number of thoughtful comments a post I wrote three years ago still receives. The topic: Making Friends in Austin. Turns out, while it can vary by location and number of young professionals, young singles, so on, making friends anywhere is a challenge. I’ve written in countless [...]

Austin: Breaking News, H&M is coming!!
But not ’til this fall so you don’t actually get to purchase the teeny bikini shown here. Hennes & Mauritz, or H&M, or ”achay y emmeh” as it will always be known to me as my first H&M visit was in Madrid where I was living, will open its 24,000-square-foot outpost in the Domain in the fall, offering women’s, men’s, [...]
