Except, y’know, I’m a girl. Was boys weekend where three of my closest dude friends flew in from literally all over the country (Atlanta, Tucson, OC) to hang out, hit up one day of ACL, and explore Austin really just a week ago?! It was so much fun. There were missed airport pickups, scooters, mubers,…
Even as a Pumpkin Spice Latte lovah let me agree with literally everyone when I lament how on earth is it already October?!

Eating with me is a challenge, I will freely admit. I want free-range happy meat, chicken, milk, and eggs. I don’t want white bread, I probably don’t want whole wheat bread, I definitely don’t want corn (unless it’s a tortilla chip) or beans or soy. I don’t want fake sugar, or agave, or real sugar…
