Now I have a new dumpling obsession after last night’s Luxe Magazine‘s Battle of the Chefs event where I ate Tanuki‘s scallop dumplings (they won the competition). I brought a couple of friends and my mom, which brought back so many memories of all the Orange Coast events I attended! Ah, a different chapter of…
She’s fine, but nali got hit by a car on Friday night. After a couple of days on doggie opioids before her real vet put the kibosh on the smack, she’s totally back to normal. My gratitude for her health knows no bounds right now. My gratitude that neither of us was hurt is similarly…
Today, we’re just doin’ a traditional gratitude list. Walking Town Lake My parents’ porch overlooking Lake Austin Ranch waters at Ranch 616 Crab claws Justine’s Athleta shopping with my mama (bought this dress I never would have if I hadn’t tried it on) Yard work … how awesome is it to have a yard to…
I’m going to just pretend I published this on time on Friday … Perhaps ironic for a post named after him, I did not take one single photo with my Bromance this past weekend … oh, except in countless photobooths. So those analog memories will have to live on (in my guest bathroom) while this…
I feel good. And it’s not just the IV hydration drip my coworkers and I went to get during lunch! After a good weekend and week of solid workouts, good eating, yoga, and a new hiking spot, I’m just content. Which isn’t to say there wasn’t anxiety and emotions this week, just that we’re dealing…
I’m back to 85%, which feels pretty freakin’ good after almost two weeks of not feeling healthy—sheesh! Montezuma may not be totally gone, but he’s dormant at the moment (how long does it take for a parasite named after an Aztec emperor to pass through the system?) Looking forward to a weekend of relaxing with…
When it rains it doesn’t always rain?? I know that’s not the saying, but “when it rains, it pours” isn’t right for this feeling … it’s not exactly pouring, and the forecast this week in Austin has been for rain all week though very little has actually shown up. That feels a bit like my…
This marks the FOURTH weekend IN A ROW that I’ve been in Austin, without plans. This is (the last weekend) a record since I moved back, and probably a record for a long time in wherever I called home. It was very intentional, and it’s been very, very fun—but, actually really challenging as well. It’s…
Another Friday, another week that passed me by in posting blog content. Blame the new job. HOW DO PEOPLE GET THINGS DONE while working in an office?! I will figure this out… There is SO much to be grateful for though! The new job, the new coworkers, biking to work, figuring life out, new loafers…
So I drove up to my parents’ house to do my taxes tonight … and there were multiple cars there. Turns out I walked into an impromptu family dinner, so my taxes aren’t done but I get to hang with my fam which is, after all, why I moved back … And then I grudgingly…
