I’m back home (one of ’em anyway) for the wedding of yet another couple I successfully set up! I can’t wait to watch these two get married in the beautiful mountains. I’ve been here for a few days, and there’s just no place in the world like Aspen.
They left me with sunglasses. Sunglasses that I love and coveted while they wore them, but still, sunnies. Now obviously by a-holes I mean my best friends and by leaving me I mean moving off on their own adventures and overall I mean that I am not bitter or jealous but extremely happy for their success and…
My mama is the best. Everyone who knows her thinks so. I am lucky enough to get to call her all the time—and some times, I do mean ALL the time. Tiny frustrating thing at work? Call the mama. Sort of exciting news? Call the mama. Possibility of exciting possibility? You guessed it: call the…
This was my weekend last weekend: And sure, it took me and the dog a little bit to recover from what was supposed to be two nights backpacking covering just 13 miles to two nights backpacking over 20 miles (landslide got in the way), but I think we’re both grateful for the opportunity to go…
I’m super boringly lucky, right? Like I’m still grateful for my friends and family and dog and body and work and life. Rrrrreat. (or whatever the sound of a record stopping is) Listen, my life is not sunshine and rainbows all the time. But I am trying with all my heart right now to live…

Happy early wear loads of red, white, and blue day. I’m on a boat (maybe). Last weekend, however, I was on a float! Seattle! I was visiting the person I still call my roommate though she now lives in another city in another state with a different roommate aka her boyfriend. It was an absolutely…
“Maybe she won’t notice if I just camouflage” … Someone is a little disconcerted by all the buzz around moving, but ultimately she’s happy in this new spot. And hey, if puppy is happy, I’m happy, because I couldn’t be more grateful for this dog. My parents being here this past weekend kicked my butt into…
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…
