a mermorial day as american as they come … boat, lakehouse, cliff house on lake, pool party … and as i sipped rosé from one of the two bars at a lake austin house that i’m 99% sure my family could have bought in the early 2000s, i really, really wanted to know if we…
Fo Real Feel Good Friday 052722
A long weekend stretches before us, with boats and lakehouses and pool parties looming like the Texas sun—that is, coming in hot and slightly terrifying with its intensity. I was so excited. But today is just not a good day. Nali isn’t doing well. I’m not doing well. I spent the morning cleaning up poop…
Maybe This is the New FGF? | Mucho Gratitude Every Day 052422
Always with the best of intentions on a Friday … possibly mainly because I wanted to BRAG that I got to RUN a 10-minute mile at 75% bodyweight in the alter-g treadmill!! I am making so much achilles progress, baby!! And then with the Monday … AND HERE WE ARE ON TUESDAY. Which is really…
Checklist 75
There’s a blogger I follow who has been blogging about as long as me, and she’s been making a list like this for over a decade. She’s on #324. I may never get there but 75 sure feels like some sort of achievement. Feed & Bev Me SO PROUD of my friends Balanza Vineyard for…
Feel Good Monday is Better than Noneday | Feel Good Friday 051622
Because I’m a little grumpy this morning, trying to figure out how NOT to live in a state of constant stress, fit in all the things I want to do, and nurture relationships that are all important to me. Easy like Monday morning, right? So that’s what gratitude lists are for, and it doesn’t matter…
Um, Have I Made It? Faux Celeb Indeed! | Feel Good Friday 050622 +
Because an actual person or bot named Tom Ford has compiled a completely wrong article on my net worth and occupation? Very pleased. I love Nali so much. This week, she pooped a runny volume of poop so massive on a rug that I had to throw it away in an abandoned dumpster. But I…
I Have No Idea What I’m Doing But Please Donate? | A CFF Great Strides Post
My support for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is all but absolute: I rarely ask questions if Sean or the CFF asks me to donate/participate/join in an event/fundraiser/hair-brained scheme. So I joined the Seananigans team a) because I love a pun, b) because I love Sean, and c) without any context as to what I was joining.…
From Sayulita to SKO, from Fasting to BOX JUMPS | Feel Good Friday 042822
Dammit Fridays get away from me, don’t they? This work week has been wild. The things I’ve seen/heard/witnessed this week … let’s just say I cannot be happier that it’s the weekend, coming off my second night in a row where I promise myself I have to be done working before it’s dark (also mainly…
Austin: 6 Happy Hour Spots to Impress Business Partners
An email I recently sent: There’s a badass, super impressive spot called Kinfolk but it’s tiny, not sure we’d be able to get 10+ in there (think it’s 20 max and we’re late for renting it out) Lutie’s – gorgeous restaurant, a little off the beaten path location-wise Canje – very cool Caribbean restaurant on east Sixth Fonda San…
Feel Good Good Friday 041522
“You’ve got a swagger you didn’t have before …” one of my football teammates said to me when I showed up to cheer them on. Maybe I do. Despite my frustrations with my achilles—yes, teammate is right, I am ahead of schedule but I am still SO FAR from playing—I am doing SO well. People…
