New digs! New digs! New digs! I didn’t post Feel Good Friday on Friday this week because I was so busy getting my apartment together with my parents in town! I LOVE my family, and I am so grateful they came to help me out—Dad needed to clean the garage, install bike hooks, hang things, and, as…
The puppy and I don’t live in Long Beach, so I guess we can’t technically staycation there. But given that it’s basically Orange County, I think we’re still good on calling what we did last weekend a staycation. Basically, we escaped the motel we’ve been living in (I guess also technically a staycation of sorts…)…
I wasn’t nervous to hike 23 miles, 10,000+ feet of vert, and for 10.5 hours, although it was something I’d never done before. No, as we set off into the Grand Canyon, I was most nervous that I’d miss out on spectacular views because we’d be too busy hiking. Thankfully, this didn’t turn out to…
Happy Memorial Day weekend! I’m somewhere on my way to hiking the Grand Canyon, with some friends I am very grateful for, but today I want to talk about being grateful for Game of Thrones. And Silicon Valley. Because I watch these two shows with a very important friend of mine, and I am grateful…
I love the rain. I love the contrast to the sunny California days, I love the excuse to snuggle up with a good book or a thousand TV shows, I love the feeling of rain on my body. I LOVE the rain on the beach. It’s been a rainy few days in Newport, and I couldn’t…
A most perfect trip. From start to finish, everything was perfect. Once-in-a-lifetime. The Kentucky Derby crew: THE. 141st. KENTUCKY. DERBY. The Derby Outfit (shoedazzle came in at the last min with killer stupid comfortable wedges): The day before the Derby, we had a girls day at Kentucky Oaks, where I wore my Derby hat I…
I’m not really a big kid person—I don’t coo over babies, I don’t wanna hold or pinch cheeks or any of that nonsense. But dear god do I love this baby child:
And she’s here! Helping me get ready to move/be homeless/drink wine. [live blogging] This is why my mom is the best:
At it again … searching for an apartment. This will be my 10th place in 8 years. Blame that wanderlusting, adventurous soul who says, “pick up and move to a new place? OK!” This time, though, I thought we might have some tenure in my fab apartment with a stellar roomie—who is now moving out of…
So grateful for friends! The Orange Coast mag best restaurants party (click here for the list) was another smashing success, and I was all too happy to share the fun with a great group of friends. I remember a mere two years ago, I had only lived here for two months and I didn’t have…
