Like I wrote last week, it’s been incredible to share my friends’ joys. A couple I love—and set up :::pats self on back:::—got married! And it was storybook perfect, and I’m only happy jealous I didn’t get to be there for it. My trip to the mountains was, indeed, good for my soul. But of…
To try to put into words what it feels like to be welcomed into a whole other family, as part of it, as if I was never not, is impossible. My brother, his fiancee, and I are a bit of a family unit already, and going to Rio and being welcomed into her family as…
2020 was hard for me in ways completely unrelated to the global pandemic we all faced. In fact, if anything the pandemic helped me—gave me space and time to process the traumas in my life that came with the first two months of 2020. The first trauma was a dramatic shift in my career; an…
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…
I can’t keep up with ANYTHING this week. How is a four-day work week not actually a break, just cramming the work of five days into four? (Also this supports my proven theory—as I worked them for three years—that four-day work weeks are just as productive if not more so than five-day works weeks, but…
All of the people I love, loved on me on Tuesday, and before and after. It was awesome. If you’re reading this, you probably loved on me, so thank you thank you thank you. >>> there was a pool, a P6, a Better Half, there were so many laughs and flowers and A BARBELL and…
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, PARENTS! HAPPY DOMESTIC PARTNERSHIP, M & P! HAPPY FLOWERS, ME! My dad surprised me with flowers (from him & my mom) on Monday, and they literally and figuratively brightened up my whole week. I felt so supported, seen, and loved—thank you, Dad. Life is changing in a big way, and it’s awesome. I’ve…
I didn’t Checklist yesterday. I didn’t have much to say, and I was very busy celebrating! But here’s one big rec for Austinites: Looking forward to Outdoor Yoga this Saturday with Shelby! And then because I published last week’s FGF on Monday, we’re only working with a few days to talk about here … but…
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…
THERE IS JUST SO MUCH TO BE GRATEFUL FOR. Even amidst rampant dehydration, scorching temps, anxiety and sleeplessness! Very excited about new neighborhood haunt Oakmont Food Company. Their chicken tenders (yes from the kids menu no shade) are phenomenal—and gluten-free and made of free-range chicken. Holy. Grail. (I still love you Hopwerks PDX) It’s made…
