If I could outline the last two weeks of my life, it’d basically be a sandwich of INCREDIBLY INTENSE WORK DAYS and SUPER FUN WEEKENDS before an incredibly intense workday crashed into a super fun weekend and I was on a conference call at 9am on a Saturday getting made fun of for a voice…
My handsome helpful humanitarian warrior had surgery earlier this week, and he is a bad patient. He is bad at resting, bad at chilling, very bad at doing nothing. Very bad, 0/10, does not respect couch arrest. And he’s still in a lot of pain, and I think it’s because his lack of rest is…
The whole fam is headed up to Colorado for my mom’s belated 70th birthday celebration, and our flights are delayed—on two different airlines! Summer in the mountains. But! I’m grateful we’re going, and this is just an inevitable part of travel. In a short week with a weird Wednesday holiday from work, nothing has gone…
WEDNESDAY CONCERT! It was admittedly a bold move to go to a concert on a Wednesday 1.5 hours away in Fredericksburg, but it was SO worth it!! I have seen some amazing music in the last couple of years, but this setting was sublime: camping chairs, under oak trees, against a vineyard, sipping rosé (not…
Can I be grateful for a cough? A person certainly could, but can I? Me, Lyssa? Maybe. I had this terrible cough for a full 10 days. I hit the infrared sauna, got cupped, spent time outside in the sun for my vitamin D, mucinex-ed, even started a course of ivermectin (the “FLiRT” variant of…
Happy belated mother’s day to my amazing mama, who is just the best. We unofficially celebrated early Saturday when I spontaneously walked over to her house, had a latte at ye olde Latte Link, and we chatted for a bit. We officially celebrated on Sunday too, but with my brother, husband, and two kiddos under…
I mean, WTF Bob? Note my glass of the new Balanza 2023 rosé, for which I am grateful and which is absolutely delicious. I think it’s my second favorite after their 2019 which I LOVED. This Friday, I am grateful for Bob, obviously. I missed that big noggin boy when we were in Colorado. I…
I am still getting back into the swing of feel good Fridays, it would turn out. Birthday weekends are so fun, and even more funny when your beloved says, “it’s birthday week! Birthday month! Birthday year!” We celebrated with a byob comedy show, a big, meat-sweat dinner at Dai Due with one of our favorite…
We’re married! How to catch you readers up on my life since the last FGF? Skip over my magical wedding and honeymoon like they didn’t exist and dive into the day to day magic?Post all the photos we’ve shared on instagram here, here, and here, while we wait for more from the photographer? Embed the…
I love funny friends. I received this one word text twice last weekend; the second time was the hilarious one. we did “afternoon drinks?” instead 😉 OMG y’all. I AM DONE WORKING UNTIL APRIL 1! It hasn’t really sunk in yet – there was SO much to do to get my team ready and make…
