Camping in the desert was not nearly as bad as expected… but the company was as great as expected! It felt like—and was—SO MUCH DRIVING, but we did some cool hiking, got to see some beautiful vistas, and getting out of cell service is just always good. I also finally got to see a bit…
Yesterday, Friday, of the Feel Good variety, was a whirlwind! A super exciting, Lyss is confident and happy and on her game again, whirlwind. The whole week was busy, starting with fun family time last weekend up through a trip to the family homestead in small-town Texas and a visit to San Antonio. I’m super…
“You look happy,” said one of my best friends. You know what? Despite feeling like everything is ‘wrong’ and wild and unsatisfying in my life, I am.
I am restless. I’ve seen memes saying that it’s a very American thing to be bored by being under quarantine this long … is it? Or is it a very American thing to continuously question authority and the efficacy of our government’s policies? I’d like to think it’s the latter. But who really knows what’s…
Love … I talk a lot about love on this blog—things I love, people I love, family and friends and places I love, my pup I love more than anything. But love is different than relationships. Today is about celebrating love, and I believe wholeheartedly in that. I hope I tell the people I love…
They just feel like home. Y’know when you go home, wherever that is, and there’s just this sigh of relief, like you’re cozy and comfortable and can slip into an old, taken-care-of, unconditionally loved skin? That’s this framily, this group of friends on its third-annual Super Bowl ski weekend in Mammoth. My marriage certificate trio,…
011720 // Aspen: 1, Lyssa: 0 I returned from last weekend’s Aspen trip fulfilled with friendship, exhausted, and sicker than I’ve been in a long, long time. Like, sick enough that I fell asleep on the DEN>AUS flight in a middle seat without a neck pillow. Sick enough that I still haven’t eaten solid food,…
Feel Good Friday is a roundup 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! Tonight is Tanukiversary! It’s not too late—come! A long Thanksgiving weekend with a fabulous overnight in San Antonio; holiday boat parade and delicious dinner…
Like my old neighbor in Aspen who woke up every morning, walked out onto his balcony, and sighed “Just another terrible day in paradise!”, so it is about adventuring with my friends. Honest question: Does everyone have it this good with their friends? Like, every trip we—whatever combination of my friends that “we” includes—take is…
D-Day Wednesday on Lake Austin resulted in my trusty 4-year-old iPhone 6 slipping out of its straw tote during the boat-to-dock handoff and finding a mucky grave at the bottom of the lake. So, no photos for this week’s post. And as of this writing, I haven’t even decided which phone to replace it with……
