To me, it was no big deal. My mama has been filling in for me in desperate sports situations for years—she still talks about the time I made her play in a 3-on-3 basketball tournament in high school. So to ask her to play in two beach flag football games seemed totally reasonable to me……
I’m casually sitting at my desk on a regular Tuesday in a regular outfit which is a below-knee-length skirt that’s slightly rubbing my wound from flag football a week a half prior, that’s a little gushy but healing alright, and a button-up top that’s sleeveless because it’s record hot outside although it’s freezing inside with…
Teams … many of mine are sports, unofficial or official, but these are also life teams. I’m so grateful for the teams I’m a part of—the ones pictured, the badass working women I know, my actual team at work, my old team at work, the team that’s gonna raise my marriage certificate trio’s baby as…
Is this a cop-out for a Feel Good Friday? I have so much to be grateful for but after breaking from tradition last week and ranting earlier this week, I can’t quite get back to the ebullience of the previous gratitude lists. See you next week.
I find it hard to write about tragic events like the shooting in Las Vegas at the Route 91 Harvest Festival. I could have been there—literally, I got invited for a spontaneous trip Friday night, only to be uninvited Saturday—and many of my friends were. Friends’ friends were shot, and some are still in the…
Y’ALL I KNOW I AM ANNOYING ABOUT THE THINGS I LOVE (ROSÉ, PATIOS, MY PATIO SPECIFICALLY, NALI, MY FRIENDS, BLAH BLAH) BUT I REALLY FREAKIN’ LOVE MY PATIO! Sunday: setup tv on beach to watch texans vs patriots. play vb. watch football. play vb. swim. PERFECT. Sunday afternoon: friends come over. babies. grillin’. rosé. PERFECT.…
What DO I want to do? (launch a company? run a company? live in a cabin in the wilderness? these are the kinds of things that come up when you’re at a b-school offsite and everyone wants to know what you do and what you do on the side and why you’re in b-school to…
Beach flag football season kicked off last weekend, and I’m super happy to be back on the sand. Both of my teams have a ways to go, but we’re gonna be good. NFL football season also kicked off, which makes lazy Sundays (post-vb, naturally) even better than before. I’m in DC this week for EMBA…
You know what’s freakin’ awesome? When your “average” weekend includes a dress-up pub crawl (celebrating your birthday), at least five gallons of rosé, a random post-ocean-dip bike gang (beach cruisers natch) meetup that leads to an epic patio hang and ridiculous night out, brunch at Woody’s with bottomless mimosas (shhhh twice but don’t tell anyone, it…
I’m grateful I’m me! I’m me thanks to my awesome parents, who were out last weekend to celebrate their anniversary. And these friends helped me celebrate them and are now helping me celebrate me with a thrifty thirty three thrift shop pub crawl. More to come on that. 33 is gonna be a good year.…
