Even for a healthy person the turnaround between ten days in Mexico and a conference in Chicago would have been difficult, for a person who caught her second case (or more likely never truly rid herself of the first) of Montezuma’s revenge PLUS a cold or sinus infection of some kind, this turnaround is brutal.…
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…
thank u, next This Ariana Grande song really resonates with me: it catalogues where gratitude becomes peace, no matter what the past looked like. Today is my last day at Alorica, and it’s incredibly bittersweet. What an opportunity for learning and growth in just three short—and long!—years, across multiple departments and locations. The notes from…
Typical: A ridiculously awesome OC weekend kicks off with birthday happy hour at the Cannery, bleeds into Cassidy’s and a late night, Saturday brings the bridal shower I flew in for (amazing), a lil day drinkin’ at Pacific City, a lil night partyin’ in Newport, and Sunday beach flag football and then volleyball all afternoon,…

It’s the second-to-last Friday of 2018 and my heart is so full. I am just so happy and grateful and lucky and life is fun and crazy. One of my Sunday texts from a friend put it best: “Insanity turned to normalcy pretty quickly, eh?” And so it did. Last weekend’s adventures were easy—so much…

I’m on a plane to New Orleans, that I was supposed to be on yesterday. But I had hopped on a plane Monday for two meetings in 48 hours in OC, and when I got back to Austin just couldn’t get everything done in time to take off again. Though I agonized over the change…
