It sucks to be a man too. The man who wrote this fundamentally altered the way I viewed my best friend’s murder(er). We were friends, coworkers, and very briefly dated. What If You’re the Guy Who Perpetuated Me Too Happening? I have a deep appreciation for him and am constantly impressed by his perspectives. He did…
Stability | Feel Good Friday 102717
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…
Send Nudes
Just in case anyone out there is searching this blog for nudes … Nudes: even sexier in the winter? Maybe.
Teams | Feel Good Friday 102017
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…
Does my body look good, or is it just my jeans?
I was staying with my lifelong facebook girlfriend and her husband on a recent weekend when she received a fresh Athleta shipment containing some new skinny jeans. Boring boring new skinny jeans who hasn’t launched those? I thought at first. BUT HOLY COW the skinny jeans are the holy grail of skinny jeans. You know…
Danger | Feel Good Friday 101317
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.
“Jokes”, “Compliments”, and other miscellany women deal with every day | 5 (+2) Things I Emailed This Week
Dammit sometimes it sucks being a woman. No, it sucks being discounted automatically based on something innate, in this case gender, no matter who you are. I started this post a few months ago with the headline and a vague concept to rant about things that people tell me to chill out about because it’s…
Art of Broth & French Onion Soup at Denver Chop House
Are there any foods you just go crazy for, from one specific place? French Onion soup from DIA’s Denver Chop House in Terminal A is mine. Sure, it’s great French Onion soup (seriously, go try it. No one yet has been disappointed by this recommendation). But as food so often carries so much sentimental value,…
Feel Something Friday
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…
How YOLO is made …
Because I promised it back when. I would also like to note that I hate the phrase YOLO—You Only Live Once—as much as anyone, but it just works… and has informed much of my 2017.
