Teams … many of mine are sports, unofficial or official, but these are also life teams. I’m so grateful for the teams I’m a part of—the ones pictured, the badass working women I know, my actual team at work, my old team at work, the team that’s gonna raise my marriage certificate trio’s baby as…
Is this a cop-out for a Feel Good Friday? I have so much to be grateful for but after breaking from tradition last week and ranting earlier this week, I can’t quite get back to the ebullience of the previous gratitude lists. See you next week.
Beach flag football season kicked off last weekend, and I’m super happy to be back on the sand. Both of my teams have a ways to go, but we’re gonna be good. NFL football season also kicked off, which makes lazy Sundays (post-vb, naturally) even better than before. I’m in DC this week for EMBA…
You know what’s freakin’ awesome? When your “average” weekend includes a dress-up pub crawl (celebrating your birthday), at least five gallons of rosé, a random post-ocean-dip bike gang (beach cruisers natch) meetup that leads to an epic patio hang and ridiculous night out, brunch at Woody’s with bottomless mimosas (shhhh twice but don’t tell anyone, it…
I’m grateful I’m me! I’m me thanks to my awesome parents, who were out last weekend to celebrate their anniversary. And these friends helped me celebrate them and are now helping me celebrate me with a thrifty thirty three thrift shop pub crawl. More to come on that. 33 is gonna be a good year.…
I will always be Texan, no matter where I live. My heart is with my home state. Houston is home to much of my family and many friends, and I was part of the group who tried—and failed—to evacuate during Hurricane Rita while I was in school at Rice. Watching Houstonians and Texans band together…
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:…
A week of perspective! Last weekend’s failed camping excursion could have been a bust but turned into an absolutely awesome girls night and all-Sunday-long fun. What felt like a missed opportunity at work turned into a different kind of opportunity (to work from home and annoy the crap out of all my instagram followers with…
