Delta Basic Economy is dead to me. I don’t mind flying what I have dubbed a peasant airline: Frontier, Allegiant, one of the ones I haven’t tried yet like Avelo or Breeze … if they fly out of the south portable in Austin, I’m down. [Exception: Spirit. Nope. Never have I ever been so uncomfortable…
Super Bowl Ski Trip VII | Feel Good Friday 021624
Technically my sixth, as I missed SBST V with a torn achilles. BUT IT WAS AWESOME, AS ALWAYS, so that’s what we’re going to focus on here. Y’all, Oregon has been gatekeeping, and I’m pretty sure it’s to protect the powder stashes. Mt. Bachelor is one of the biggest mountains in the US, with INCREDIBLE…
Shampoo for Valentine’s Day Loves | Feel Good Friday 020824
I started this post, and per what-has-become-usual, did not post it until now. But it’s fitting! Because it’s the day of celebrating LOVE and I LOVE my framily! I wrote: It’s Super Bowl Ski Weeeeeekend! Nestled in a basement with a guestroom and desk made just for me. I had a hard time getting ready…
2024: Peace
Last year—and I had to look this up, what word I chose last year—the word I chose was L O V E. And yes, I had fallen in love, with both of my boys, but looking back I am struck by how much LOVE I received, gave, and was surrounded by in 2023. I mean!!…
Feel Good Friday 020224
We’re back, kids! Nothing but gratitude on this FEEL GOOD FRIDAY, where I only worked 3 days that felt like 37 and gained roughly 12.7 lbs drinking my weight in piña coladas at an all-inclusive resort BUT I am feeling so lucky to have my love and my BIRD GANG and I got to read…
Feel Good January
One of the most frustrating things to me as a human is when a friend, colleague, vendor, whoever continues to push me off because they know they missed the mark and they don’t want to have the hard conversation. AND YET THIS IS ME, RIGHT NOW, with y’all and with myself on this blog. I…
Virgie on the Rocks | Feel Good Friday 122223
Impossibly, I am now the (part) owner of a lil miner’s cabin in Idaho Springs, Colorado. I *could not* be happier. It is perfect. It is epic. I love it. I want to hug the cabin itself (and almost could). I want to hug the view, but simultaneously fling my arms wide because I couldn’t…
Tis the Season | Feel Good Friday 121523
Two by Two: Christmas Things
1. Gnome wine bottle toppers ($49 for 4)! I die! 2. Nordic Lights stackable mug ($14)… so cozy! XMAS EVENTS in TX 1. Famous lights, walking distance from my house: 37th Street Lights 2. Christmas Cave Concerts? LOVE. GIFTS* 1. Like, for me. The traveling/remote workstation holy grail: Xebec ($449). 2. Shoes I don’t know…
The Most Perfect Weekend | Feel Good Friday 120823
Last long weekend was the most amazing, perfect, magical, hilarious weekend of my life! And I’ve had a lot of great weekends! I thought long and hard about what I wrote on instagram here. I’m finding it impossible to articulate just how special the weekend was, how special my friends and friendships are, and how…
