A long weekend stretches before us, with boats and lakehouses and pool parties looming like the Texas sun—that is, coming in hot and slightly terrifying with its intensity. I was so excited. But today is just not a good day. Nali isn’t doing well. I’m not doing well. I spent the morning cleaning up poop…

It’s A Lot | Feel Good Friday 080621
Per usual as is my brain’s great irony, the title of this post was written BEFORE I forgot to publish it all weekend … it’s a lot to keep up with a weekly gratitude list for almost a decade. But I love it, and it’s important to me, and it’s definitely made my life better…
Epic Fun | Feel Good Friday 070921
Epic fun. The 3rd of July Beer Olympics was a smashing success, beyond my wildest dreams. It was so smooth—setup crew with Jersey boo made it happen. Slip flip cup was the favorite event, beer (easter) hunt was hilarious, my tutu made its eighth(?!) annual appearance, the underdogs won, there were influencers and painting and…
Truck-less | Feel Good Friday 070221
I’m pretty much always “working on myself” but I love the way my dear/completely badass friend frames the quest in this article: Work on yourself now before it comes back to bite you in the ass. And then! Completely digging my Co-Star reading for yesterday: You are learning how to come to terms with your…
I Will Not Forget I Will Not Forget I Will Not Forget | Feel Good Friday 062521
Celebrating my dad, the best dad, at Treaty Oak was a perfect Sunday! Sushi happy hour… Getting to know friends better. Letting people love me for who I am. For my dichotomies. As my champions. Embracing too much rejection. Playing Level 3 volleyball. Vanushing. Biking. Nali has sarcoma. It’s old lady cancer and there’s nothing…

So last night, stone cold sober, I shredded some cheese for my steak nachos and I remember thinking it wasn’t as much cheese as I thought it would be, but I cooked them, turned off the kitchen light, ate my nachos and watched my shows… This morning I walk into the kitchen following a TRAIL…
Flowers and Foods | Feel Good Friday 072420
THERE IS JUST SO MUCH TO BE GRATEFUL FOR. Even amidst rampant dehydration, scorching temps, anxiety and sleeplessness! Very excited about new neighborhood haunt Oakmont Food Company. Their chicken tenders (yes from the kids menu no shade) are phenomenal—and gluten-free and made of free-range chicken. Holy. Grail. (I still love you Hopwerks PDX) It’s made…
But Saturday | Feel Good Friday 062620
Yesterday, Friday, of the Feel Good variety, was a whirlwind! A super exciting, Lyss is confident and happy and on her game again, whirlwind. The whole week was busy, starting with fun family time last weekend up through a trip to the family homestead in small-town Texas and a visit to San Antonio. I’m super…
What Even Is a Holiday Weekend Anymore? | Feel Good Friday 052920
It’s a weird, weird world we live in right now. With racism and censorship overshadowing government control surrounding Covid, it can be overwhelming to know where to focus my attention, and what to write about. What privilege I enjoy; what discrimination I face all the same. So today, like every Friday, we’ll stick to a…
In Pictures, A | Feel Good Friday 051520
THANK GOODNESS FOR THE OUTSIDE. It’s hot, it’s humid, it’s stormy, it’s clear, who cares, I’m restless and need to be outside! This past week was marked by great outdoor adventures, lots of things I’m grateful for, and some intense career and emotional work that will hopefully lead me to more peace 🙂 Pedernales Falls…
