She’s loud, she’s overprotective, she’s grouchy, she’s an old lady, she gets sand in my bed and refuses to leave the beach sometimes, she scares old ladies walking weird and kids skateboarding and friends who come over and strangers who manage to make their way into my house and I don’t mind it when she…
Lake Tahoe!! When I was the minister for my best couple friends’ wedding last summer, we all laughed about how perfect it is that I’m permanently on their marriage certificate: we’re the marriage certificate trio! Never was that more apparent than the five-day Tahoe trip we took last weekend. There’s so much to be grateful…
How am I not myself? h/t Dark & Stormy/BT for showing me I Heart Huckabees (which, truth be told, I kind of hated); yes, I’ve used this line before here. … Someone asked me what my priorities were the other day, and I was surprised to find out that I was a little stumped. Thoughts:…
What I’m watching: (it’s a nice contrast) Insecure Ballers Suits What I’m boozing: (no surprises here) A surprisingly awesome Chilean pinot noir Rosé of cab is still my fave – Lot 557 Modern Times Fruitlands sour beer What I’m wearing: (aka wanting to buy more of) L*space reversible haley top for volleyball Kork-Ease platform sandals,…
… says Mama last night, at a Paso Robles wine tasting she managed to find and fly in for—which was, of course, fabulous. Great venue, really, really good wines, lots of fun with the mama. The selfie was silly (thanks for the free sunnies!) but it encapsulates something I am so grateful for: curiosity. My…
My heart is so full! My friends are so awesome! Groups of friends are the best! I am so lucky I’ve been able to gather friends and mix crews and have one of the greatest weekends ever. Best summer ever! What else can be said that hasn’t been said about how freakin’ lucky and grateful…
A whole bunch of chance encounters led to new friends last weekend. And then, Sunday sorority house happened (I never lived in a sorority house) where the girls returned to my house for items they’d left Saturday and we laid around catching up on what happened last night, stalking our new friends on social media,…
It’s summer, and there is nothing I love more right now that hanging out on my patio (rosé in hand, probably). Last weekend, the patio hosted a super-fun graduation party on Saturday. We played Sunday volleyball. Then, post-vb we ordered Thai food and spent the next several hours just lounging around. It was perfect. The…
There’s a distinctly steamy, balmy, summery quality to summer nights at the lake. As far as I can tell, it doesn’t matter what lake or river, if you’ve got a dock and some water, there will be cicadas chirping quietly, water lapping softly, laughter punctuating the peace in welcome staccatos. Perhaps there’s a breeze that…
VB, FB, bike rides, yoga, Chalk, catch-ups, boy bonding with Nali pup—it was a great week of activities. Now I’m headed to the river! The river! Grateful for fun already had and fun anticipated … Also. I was feeling insecure about any number things—because I’m a girl, mostly—last night, so much so that I literally…
