I feel good. And it’s not just the IV hydration drip my coworkers and I went to get during lunch! After a good weekend and week of solid workouts, good eating, yoga, and a new hiking spot, I’m just content. Which isn’t to say there wasn’t anxiety and emotions this week, just that we’re dealing…
the overview (activities!) / the eats The Fanny Packs Order ’em here. Will be worn at the wedding as well. A big hit, very convenient, and hilarious. I came up with the sayings after much internet research, but she has standard sayings you can use too. I filled them with only a few essentials at…
the overview (activities!) / the swag If you only pick one place for a group dinner, make it Odd Duck. The entire experience was absolutely fantastic. The service was wonderful, the food was plentiful and amazing, the wine was perfectly paired. It. Was. Awesome. It’s $55 for an 8-course tasting, and $55 for a 5-course…
I was really into this series while I was planning the bachelorette party, but now that the event has come and gone I am OVER IT. But because it was awesome, I feel obligated to buckle down and share, because this is an epic itinerary and if you’re planning an Austin bachelorette you should probably…
Two things I love: wine and basketball, making this a must-read: Secret Team Dinners Built the Spurs Dynasty. (added bonus: now I have a list of restos to check out in San Antonio!) I expected to hate scooters, but I love them. Not only are they fun, but they provide an extremely viable and valuable…
I’m back to 85%, which feels pretty freakin’ good after almost two weeks of not feeling healthy—sheesh! Montezuma may not be totally gone, but he’s dormant at the moment (how long does it take for a parasite named after an Aztec emperor to pass through the system?) Looking forward to a weekend of relaxing with…
Even for a healthy person the turnaround between ten days in Mexico and a conference in Chicago would have been difficult, for a person who caught her second case (or more likely never truly rid herself of the first) of Montezuma’s revenge PLUS a cold or sinus infection of some kind, this turnaround is brutal.…
Ah, a throwback to the iterations of this here blog … like me, a restaurant from Aspen has returned nay, come home to, Austin. Because Aspen and Austin are inextricably yet inexplicably linked, perhaps the first restaurant to move from Aspen to Austin rather than vice versa (hi Clark’s), is House of the Rising Tanuki-San,…
Over the course of my athletic and fitness career, I’ve followed—and stopped following—a number of fitness blogs or bloggers (pre influencers yuck). Few have withstood the test of time, but 70sbig.com has been a mainstay, if written by an infrequent poster. Today, Justin, the man behind 70s Big, shared that he’s actually a Green Beret…
When it rains it doesn’t always rain?? I know that’s not the saying, but “when it rains, it pours” isn’t right for this feeling … it’s not exactly pouring, and the forecast this week in Austin has been for rain all week though very little has actually shown up. That feels a bit like my…
