COLD WEATHER!! Snuggly shoes and wrap cardigans and big blankets and hunkering down and even though it was short-lived, false first winter makes me so happy! Halloween was HILARIOUS this week… first we were couple of skeletons at a very fun party where I got to spend good time catching up with friends. Then, Halloween…
Halloween is my least favorite dress up holiday because it’s so broad: you can be literally anything and you’re on theme. I abhor people asking “so what are you?” Nope. I want a theme and to creatively riff off of that. Alas, I am apparently in the minority and am actually attending a Halloween party this year—well, Hollaween…
HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Feel Good Friday is a gratitude list I write each week to express my appreciation for all of the things that made me feel good or that I’m grateful for all week. Join me and leave your Feel Goods in the comments… Mom’s visit: mani/pedis, wine on the porch, dinners with great company,…
$3 barbacoa salad with guacamole, please.
My jellyfish costume. I don’t have better photos. It’s hard to capture underwater sea creatures in their natural habitat. Halloween is not my favorite costume day. I prefer costume parties, where everyone riffs on a theme—much more fun and creative. But alas, I am not immune to the pressure to dress up as something wild…

I saw this photo on pinterest and HAD to be a Dia de Los Muertos sugar skull for Halloween. Which is apparently celebrated for almost a week when it’s on a Wednesday. I digress … while mine is nowhere near as gorgeous as this, I had a lot of fun recreating this look for a Halloween…
Saturday morning’s Butcher Challenge was awesome! Team Fresh Meat! It IS the Butcher Challenge, after all. My favorite workout buddy!! How fun is this workout?! (sorry Joey, you had to push and do burpees … boo) And, good news, I got all my pullups and hit my previous snatch PR of 95# … so snatching…
They just announced the workouts for CrossFit Central’s The Butcher Challenge I’m competing in on Saturday morning. Looks like Nature’s Garage Gem/Gym is good prep for most things, but a 1-rep max snatch? Sticks do not compare. Here are the workouts: WOD 1: Butcher push, pullups and bouldering: AMRAP 12 minutes. -Each team will be…
ZombieBall. Is what you should do for Halloween. It’s pretty cheap for a spooky night at Seaholm Power Plant! Musical lineup includes: Roky Erikson, The White Ghost Shivers, PONG, Killa Dilla, DJ Manny and Rion King. At midnight don’t miss The Waltz of the Forbidden Flesh; a Haunte’d Couture fashion show and mini opera that…
