Over the course of two days, I sat on hold for 6+ hours. I am a millennial. I don’t call anyone unless absolutely forced. I’d literally rather facetime you with my double chin that voice chat. I digress; long story short, I’m trying to use new insurance to book a new doctor, and it was…
Look, I’m an early adopter. I’ll try anything. I’m not entirely sure on the value proposition differentiation between Benable and Pinterest. But they say it’s where I pin my favorite things, not just any things, so maybe that’s it. It does reward opinions and funny names, two things I am extremely good at. Because I’m…
This morning was the most fun chaos possible: I watched the 5-year-old, 3-year-old, and my baby for two hours. They were hilarious, action-packed, chaotic hours that felt very long. But very, very fun. Sanne can reach the random items on the bottom shelf of the pantry, so she carries around this ancient box of gel…
I wrote this Friday: I have Hand Foot and Mouth Disease (which is a virus not a disease). Most adults do not get this. Most daycare children do. Sanne and I flip-flopped that: I got it, she did not. It feels like you are walking on hot glass, you can barely drink and certainly not…
Does it count as Feel Good Friday if I recorded it on Friday and talked exactly zero minutes about how grateful I am because while I am indeed grateful for some stuff, shit’s been crazy over here? I am your celebrity and my celebrity because I am funny and have a unique perspective and way…
And quiet not just because I’ve been sick since I posted about my good health—it was only a temporary return, apparently—and flying with whatever I had has rendered me unable to hear appropriately out of first my right ear, then my left, and now both are at about 50%. It’s stupid. We went to northern…
Yeah, this posted last week. I’m behind on everything. But this is a hilarious ep about pups and parenting, drop on in.
Our return from our wild weekend in Colorado was a tough one for me: my body hurt, I needed sleep, and sickness got me. What it was, who knows, but there were a lot of symptoms suggesting my systems needed some hard rest. While I am proud of my still-heavy postpartum body for hiking 1,000…
If you dropped into this coffee shop, you’d get a masterclass in marketing. Eavesdrop on: Andrew Kokes is a CMO and my former boss at HGS, where he hired me in my first VP role and taught me a ton about corporate marketing (and playing the game … he used to tell me to just…
I keep missing my self-imposed deadlines. This was written on Thursday: We’re headed to Idaho Springs for Rapidgrass this weekend on top of the mountain, and it’s gonna be awesome. Even if it’s raining, which it might be. I’m excited to get out of the heat. The last couple weeks of summer were really intense…
