Life’s hard. I’m grateful for the highs and lows. I’ll get my shit back together soon, pinkie swear.

A BEAUTIFUL APOCALYPSE
Buy my little brother’s book! A Beautiful Apocalypse ($4.99 for ebook, $17.09 for paperback) The book signing party on Tuesday night in Austin was a smashing success, Jordan gave a great little speech, and a few local zombies stopped by too. I haven’t read the book since an early draft, but if the finished product is…
Dudes, Football, Fitwall, and Other Dumb Stuff I’m Grateful For | Feel Good Friday 102315
I just have to say … I like guys. Like, not one in particular, but I like to date guys. I have crushes on guys. Good, that’s settled. I also like football. I also like trying out Fitwall with my girls (but I still like to date dudes). I also like my unstainable white dress…
Pendleton Blanket
I am obsessed with this blanket. It is perfect. It is wool. It is slightly scratchy. It is made for beaches, bonfires, cabins in the woods, tents, tailgates, couches, and cuddling. It is Pendleton. It is American nostalgia. It is dreams and stereotypes and aspirations. It is what I built my entire living room around:…
Eat ALL THE (chickpea) PASTA!
This baby, found on the Banza website, is basically me. For as long as I’ve been able to eat it, I’ve LOVED pasta. After Paleo-ing for many many years, I don’t eat much pasta (but if it’s homemade, OH PLEASE I’M EATING ALLLLL OF IT), so I was pretty thrilled to find a pasta with…
I Don’t Have To Be Grateful | Feel Good Friday/Sunday 101815
I don’t have to be grateful, and I don’t have to write about all the things I am grateful for—but I can, and I am. I am grateful. I am grateful for work, work friends, my first Cirque du Soleil (Kurios), a suite at the Ducks game, two football victories, volleyball wall drills, the gym, dinosaur…
Sick | Feel Good Friday 100915
I was sick for most of this week, a low-grade, not-horrible, completely rundown, foggy-brained sickness. I move/think/talk fast—but this week, I just couldn’t (thx to my work wife for the birthday mug), and it was eye-opening. I think it’s mostly because I’m sick of some things in my life or that I’ve been doing, although…
Compliment or Insult: You’re Pretty, But … Edition
I know you guys have missed this fun series of posts … Dude: Hey, would you ever want to go out with me? Me: No, I’m not really interested. Dude: OK, but it’s just that you’re awesome. I mean, you’re pretty, but you’re really like a badass chick, I don’t meet many people like you.
What IS This “Contouring” Business?
Delving deeper into this recent makeup mania, I’ve recently been playing with the “contouring”. I haven’t gotten too extreme—because hello have you met me I play sports and sweat all the time?—but I did want to share a great tutorial(!) and a pic of my attempt(*). https://youtube.com/watch?v=8u_hhvwcWhg *side commentary, just a lil FYI: when this blog…
Idaho, Part 2 | Feel Good Friday 100215
Last weekend’s trip to Idaho was mind-bogglingly perfect. Literally everything went right. We packed a ton of fun stuff into one long weekend, but the most amazing part of the trip was the people: five near-strangers (Bromance and I already had a, well, bromance) became instant best friends (#bestspuds). From the moment the guys picked…
