ABC: Apple, Berlin, Chiweenie | Feel Good Friday 081619

Pop quiz: do you know the name of the band that sings “Take My Breath Away” from one of the best movies of all time, Top Gun?

Berlin. Their name is Berlin and I got to see them live at The Mountain Winery and I got chills when they sang that song. Imagine this, but live:

I also, right before that, made the biggest presentation of my life to some of the people who run some of the biggest retail brands in the world (think of a name… they were there) while accidentally wearing $11 amazon sunnies (that are super cute, if you want to order them) but it was ok because it was on a patio and also I made some funnies and wore hot pink 80s heels and earrings and lipstick (anarchy) so I was on theme and no one could be mad about not seeing my face.

Anyway, this week I was at Apple Park for said retail event and it was AWESOME. Takes thoughtful design to another level.

And the C? I’ve gotten the perhaps impossible idea that Nali needs a friend, so after failing with Nelson the kitten last week, tried with Pookie the four-pound chiweenie this week. Absolutely adorable cat in a dog’s body.

Denali has been for 13 years and would like to remain an only child, please and thank you.

Bonus points for me: after a full four days of business travel punctuated only by a quick stop at Austin Restaurant Weeks‘ kick-off party where I ran into a sorority sister I haven’t seen since 2003 yet we both recognized each other, my car got a flat and I spent my only morning in Austin this week at Costco’s tire center working off my hot spot.

So it goes. Stress, anxiety, and fatigue are all at play this week, so this weekend is a welcome respite before more business travel next week.

Sneaky Recommendos! Testing a new feature: 3 things I recommend per week… this week I snuck ’em into the body of the post (sunnies, lippie, resto >> kill me for all my lingo, I’m going to go walk around the lake now and forget I just published trendy babble).
