This goofy boy stole my heart on Dec 7, or maybe Dec 6 when I saw his profile online. It was another 10 days before I was allowed to foster this “behavioral issue” dog, and another 9 after that before we sent the “we will adopt him please” email. Today, January 3, 2023, is the…
This week I have been called both a bulldog and a karen, with basically the same meaning but obviously very different connotations. I just call it tenacity, and it’s a part of my personality that I very much like—it has set me up for success in an overall corporate world that still values masculine-style aggression,…
My family is so effing awesome. There are 21 of us, plus my Handsome Humanitarian Warrior’s 3, in Austin for this holiday and I couldn’t be happier. I am so grateful for my cousins. They are all incredible humans. It turns out I haven’t seen some of them in over three years and while we’ve…
BUT FIRST, all the details about my art show in a couple of weeks! Mark your calendars now for Nov 12 & 13 to check out rad art and sip radder wine. And hang out with me. Which I am grateful for, obviously. The recognition for the third year in a row – as long…
Aaaaaand I wrote last Thursday: It is almost certain I will forget to post FGF from Merida, Mexico, where I will be tomorrow on the eponymous Friday, so let’s post on my birthday Thursday, shall we? I’m prepping for a small bday party at my parents’ house, casual wine and pizza I keep saying, but…
9 hours of volleyball! 11 games! And my achilles felt good. Made it to the semi-finals in random-draw tournament. Couldn’t jump as high as I expected sometimes, but otherwise am definitely almost back! My body? Not so good. I physically could not peel myself off of the couch once we got home; it is no…
A very random list compiled over some very weird weeks … Do All The Things Read my baby bro’s obituary for Nali, and sign up for his Three Things email list. Follow the new ig account @DrinkinDinos Buy All The Things! Dying over Tito’s in a Can* … amazing marketing. In a badass boss mode…
Too many fights to fight, too few hours from flight to flight, too many questions about what’s right or right. I love my job, I really do, but right now I need the Wicked Dolphin mojito made with rum from Cape Coral and mint from my front yard to do its work while I don’t…
Mesa Verde. Pagosa Springs. Santa Fe. Maria’s margarita hands down the best marg I’ve ever had, and salsa. Gruet. Tiny towns in Texas where all coffee shops on the map were no longer in business. My five-day reset, refresh road trip to pick up Lady Tabitha White Top, the new-to-me hybrid electric MINI I picked…
0 sugar. Napa grapes. 4 bottles good for 6 weeks. Remind me why I paused my subscription?! Oh, because having an open box of wine in my fridge is a leeeetle dangerous. But! Also really convenient and really fun for parties, pool hangs, random stop-bys, and … everything, really. Launched during the pandemic (good timing…
