YOLO Weekend was awesome, confusing, and gratifying. I also have to confess that the skiing in Big Bear was phenomenal—20″ of powder will do that—and I loved skiing with the crew I was with, on the super-fun untracked wooded bowl we found off the backside of a run. Nonetheless, I might be pulling back on…
YOLOing has been good to me. I Bumbled last Friday for a wedding date on Saturday, and he turned out to be awesome. He’s sure to star in the dancing portion of the wedding video, he signed a hilarious message in the guestbook, and he even posed for awkward prom pictures with me. Will I…
It’s a stupid saying, but it’s a pretty fun way to live your life for a little while … YOLO! (This year’s yolo is WAY better than last year’s …)
You guys, I haven’t been everywhere but it’s on my list—of places I went this past year. Here’s a list: Hawaii, Tahoe, Aspen, Mammoth, Omaha, Austin (Feb, April, Dec), Fresno, Rae Lakes/Kings Canyon, Asheville, Pebble Beach/Paso Robles/Santa Ynez, Portland, Denver & Aspen, Joshua Tree, a few camping weekends in there, Houston, Tahoe again for New…
This is a mashup of how I feel today. Vulnerable, a little sad, a little restless. A lot grateful for friendships. But a whole lot of that learning to be a friend thing—always learning. Most of my learnings of late have come from the sharing part of friendship, the part where I need someone’s help or…
I’m gonna brag here for a minute. Not even humblebrag, just straight up brag. Y’all, my family is awesome. Not just my mama, dad, and bro (happy 30th!!), but my entire extended family of aunts and uncles, cousins, cousin/brother (NOT a weird TX thing), cousins-in-law, cousin’s girlfriend, and baby cousins!! Everyone gets along so well…
This is funny: click to open the #GivingTuesday Circular Following the shopping frenzies of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, #GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a way of reminding consumers to give back after days of shopping. The super creative circular above mocks the traditional sales flyers while showcasing the pre-packaged donations you can make,…
I’m having a hard time deciding what I’m most thankful for this year. An abundance of blessings is perhaps the most I could be grateful for, but let’s also acknowledge that I make the choice to be grateful for the wonderful–and not so–things in my life. Perhaps that’s what I’m most grateful for, the awareness…
Despite being 32, I still have to do what my mom tells me. Most of the time. I made the decision yesterday not to do a Feel Good Friday post. Not a big statement, I just didn’t feel like it, and since the only pressure on this blog is my own, I said I don’t hafta! …
Who rescued who? Denali was sick this week—and that turned me into a crazy hypochondriac mom who was certain she had cancer—but she is on the mend and healthy and I am so incredibly grateful. Despite her skittishness and other issues, she’s an incredibly easy dog. And she is SO full of personality … Grateful…
