You know those events that are so epic they seem like and have a reputation for having always been so? Well Beer Olympics is one of those amongst my Austin friend group, despite this year’s only being the third annual. It’s tomorrow, and I could not be more excited. I LOVE throwing this party. It’s…
We’re engaged! I’ve taken cool walks every morning for the last week! My cup is full with Marriage Certificate Trio & GD4L love! My belly is full of amazing Willamette pinot! I love Oregon! My helpful handsome humanitarian warrior is so thoughtful and supportive! Even when I yell at him! Which I do! Working while…
On holiday weekends when I haven’t planned a party, I often forget it’s a holiday. This is a blessing—who doesn’t want a surprise long weekend?! This one is much-needed; a brief respite before we’re off to Oregon for two whirlwind weeks of work, wine, and my bestest friends in the whole wide world. Once I…
I’ve said this before: the person who says “oh this is so much fun!” is always perceived as the person having the most fun. Wednesday night I observed this phenomenon again with an eclectic group of incredibly successful women eating delicious food at Rose Mary Chicago, sharing Croatian wine, and lifting each other up.

OMG TWO STEP INN was every bit as good as I was hoping. Fantastic music, hilarious mini adventures with my man, a fab festy fit, perfect temps on Sunday … it was all epic. I loved it. I’m so grateful. We met this guy, and he was amazing too. This week was birthday week for…
It’s been at least a decade since I got up on stage and sung karaoke. Maybe more. But Saturday night celebrating my friend’s birthday and trying to get another to meet a girl, I willingly went up and dueted All My Life. The birthday boy sent me the video this week, and it’s HILARIOUS. I’m…
I spent four days in Miami this week, but really Miramar, and really just inside the office and in the hotel. Ah, the executive life … it looks sexy on the outside but really, it’s intense and hard and AWESOME and decidedly not casual. I tried to walk to the office but luckily some female…
TODAY we skied in Taos, New Mexico, and it was awesome. I finished my work day and we grabbed a few hours on the mountain, where we got sunshine and then dumped on – 3+ inches in less than half an hour! Tomorrow is going to be epic. Making the 12+ hour drive, kinda overnight,…
