Checklist 55: Shopping Confessions

Or, how great marketing wins? I made a list of packages I’m expecting this week and it’s embarrassing. I didn’t think I was shopping online much but the eight packages I’m currently waiting on certainly appear to make a liar of me. Shop Shoppin’ Away is the only category today MadRabbit (tattoo cream) – I’ve…

LIFE | Feel Good Friday 041621

I was interviewed on a podcast yesterday! It was my first time (not hosting). It was SO much fun. I LOVE MY TEAM so much. The past two days have been long, long workdays. I hurt my knee and was scared it was bad but kind of knew it wasn’t but was still scared because…

Checklist 54

I’m moving my furniture around—again—so will likely be pinning rugs and chairs as I try to decide how to fill different spaces. Maybe I like change, or maybe it’s just not right yet. Entertainment UM… these two short films are insane but awesome: PIZZA FACE and CHEESE DOG. My coworkers are fantastic. Love this random…

Angry | Feel Good Friday 040221

This is not a feel good post. This is an angry post. This week, I came up against something that I have been fortunate enough to have avoided for 36 years: sexual assault.

Good Failing | Feel Good Friday 031921

Maybe seven years ago, I wrote a blog post about failing for a crossfit gym. Here is the cliffs notes version: one of the best things I think powerlifting teaches is how to fail: How to safely fail – bailing out of a squat or lift How to rally from a fail – just because…

Champions | Feel Good Friday 031221

Y’all. First off, friends that are your champions are the best. This week, in no particular order: Bromance. Part of his championing is definitely not reading this blog so he will never know the nice things I’m about to say but I am just so unbelievably grateful that no matter what, there is a person…
