Hitting publish before noon on Saturday calling it Friday 😉 Whoops, didn’t realize I hadn’t posted in 22 days. I was in DC for most of last week; it’s hard to articulate how I love Capitol Hill in DC. Over the 16 years one of my besties has lived there, I’ve gone for extended trips…
Talking Chain
I constantly wonder WHO are the people out there buying multiple-thousand-dollar jewelry?! Like, gems, okay maybe, but just regular jewelry?! Because I absolutely LOVE Marla Aaron and have posted her goods in checklists 27, 63, 77, but she is expensive. Nonetheless, she’s released another new style and another time I am absolutely obsessed: introducing the…
Laughter in the Grocery Store | Feel Good Friday 100623
Scene: TUESDAY NIGHT at the fancy HEB on Lake Austin that isn’t really bougie except in the wine section We’re laughing and giggling down the aisles, being super playful, possibly annoying We’re buying too much stuff because we rarely grocery shop together and we were down to our barest cupboard and refrigerator situation so need…

Feel Good Friday 092923 posted on Monday (is this the new norm?)
Should we just switch to Feel Good Monday? It doesn’t have quite the same ring, does it? Previously, I wrote: It’s a little staycation day for me! We’re headed to an early afternoon wedding, so I just took the whole day off: slept in, had a latte a la dada, walked Bob around Town Lake…

40 Under 40
Arbitrary or no, there are things about forty that just make a person want to achieve by this birthday. In my case, it’s not always specific goals, more like a notion of “when I’ve grown up”—and FORTY is undeniably grown, right—I will have done these things. And, maybe I will have. I am getting married…
39 Before 39 Report Card
Last year, a couple months after turning 38, I published 39 things I want to continue doing before my 39th birthday (NOT in order). How did I do? I like it. I’m happy with this report!
Feel Good BIRTHDAY!
Because 39-year-olds can do whatever they want with their own blogs. It’s hard to describe the feeling of freedom, unmitigated joy, and peaceful ease driving through the mountains brought me. I like a road trip. I drove through boring, brown Texas and flat, long New Mexico until I hit the mountains just south of the…
