Laboring is hard. Labor Day weekend is not hard. Especially not when you have a Permanent Adult Kiddie Cowgirl Pool with a rosé floatie and temps in the 100s. AND you get a last-minute invite on a boat, so that’s a fabulous Saturday. AND THEN your childhood bestie comes into town for adult kiddie pool…
One word, many weeks, a whole lot of wire-brushing: WHEELBARROW. Friends, the before and after of this gem is astounding. Found this wheelbarrow in my great-grandpa’s homestead, and spent a lot of hours soaking, spraying, rubbing, wirebrushing the steel to restore it to its pre-rusty shape; didn’t really touch the wood other than to seal…
Welp, alongside accidentally ghosting a really important email opportunity (it’s FINE), I also ghosted myself apparently in not publishing my feel good friday. Suffice it to say, the beach was fun… Remember when I lived at the beach? Sigh. Now I drive to it. But in the most hilarious Spirit-airlines inspired back seat, squished between…
PELOTON!!! That is what I am most grateful for this week. I have ridden it every day since we got it! … made much better by sharing the bike with the neighbros, and the group in Cali cheering me on, working out with me, and sending hilarious group texts. I am tired, it’s been a…
Today marks a confusing technical end to Austin’s “shelter in place” as decreed by the governor, not the mayor. Like many people in Austin, I don’t think much will change for me, yet. Truth be told, I’m a bit sad to give up the amount of free time I have now to play with new…
An awesome, wide-ranging, organic and intense and happy week. Grateful for: The Refresh Solo camping on Padre Island National Seashore? Miracles. The quote “the waves of the sea help me get back to me” has never run more true. Also I made my own damn fire in the midst of insane wind, drank jetboil coffee,…
Love … I talk a lot about love on this blog—things I love, people I love, family and friends and places I love, my pup I love more than anything. But love is different than relationships. Today is about celebrating love, and I believe wholeheartedly in that. I hope I tell the people I love…
Jackson Hole ski trip was hilariously successful and I still feel like I haven’t seen Jackson because it was snowing the entire time! Where are the sweeping views?? Quick Hits: 5 Jackson Hole Recs Teton Thai (Teton Village) – More than one person has said this is the best Thai they’ve ever had, and I…
The last friend Christmas party turned into backstage at EDM show… The “slow” week turned into long days and a big presentation at work… The manis from ManiMe continue to impress, transforming how this girl sees nails and nail art… The hilarious texts I get from my friends continue to make me so happy and…
Grateful for family, and family friends, and support. It’s finally cool-ish enough to bike to work again! Excited to get back in the groove of bike commuting. But before the cool weather came in, we took advantage of a last (fingers crossed) Indian summer weekend on a boat (Endian Summer). Also grateful for impromptu Nerf…
