Last Friday night, it felt like I saved up my fun for Saturday… and boy did I have it! I’m doing the same tonight, albeit with added yard work and furniture assembly and possibly pizza-making. Here’s the fun stuff I saved up for across this weekend and into this week… PICKUP FLAG FOOTBALL! Who knew…
Epic fun. The 3rd of July Beer Olympics was a smashing success, beyond my wildest dreams. It was so smooth—setup crew with Jersey boo made it happen. Slip flip cup was the favorite event, beer (easter) hunt was hilarious, my tutu made its eighth(?!) annual appearance, the underdogs won, there were influencers and painting and…
I’m pretty much always “working on myself” but I love the way my dear/completely badass friend frames the quest in this article: Work on yourself now before it comes back to bite you in the ass. And then! Completely digging my Co-Star reading for yesterday: You are learning how to come to terms with your…
Celebrating my dad, the best dad, at Treaty Oak was a perfect Sunday! Sushi happy hour… Getting to know friends better. Letting people love me for who I am. For my dichotomies. As my champions. Embracing too much rejection. Playing Level 3 volleyball. Vanushing. Biking. Nali has sarcoma. It’s old lady cancer and there’s nothing…
Happy Father’s Day to the greatest dad of all time. Buy his latest book here. All of last weekend was great, from volleyball and yoga to south Austin bars to climbing and swimming at the Greenbelt to Austin Winery and family dinner, plus floating in my cowboy pool and reading in my hammock. It was…
So last night, stone cold sober, I shredded some cheese for my steak nachos and I remember thinking it wasn’t as much cheese as I thought it would be, but I cooked them, turned off the kitchen light, ate my nachos and watched my shows… This morning I walk into the kitchen following a TRAIL…
It was but a short week, yet this week has brought me so. many. many. opportunities to practice grace. Yes, you can laugh. But it has! Grace for others, for a situation, for a frustration point … all of which translate back to me, obviously. Grace to myself for how I’m handling something, what it’s…
Happy Birthday, Childhood Bestie! You’re an incredible leader, friend, and kitten mama! Regymen Grove opened! 45-minute summer HIIT workouts here I come … love it and hate it but mostly hate it. Girls catch up Monday night with a sister stop by! Wednesday open play volleyball and Oakmont Honeymoon Spirit Lounge with a friend of…
It’s a rainy, lovely Saturday morning. I have things to do, but I have the luxury of moving slowly, unhurried. It’s great. Grateful for: Hammock. I love a hammock. Anywhere. But in my backyard?! Heaven. Also Heaven? My parents’ porch. I love that place. I especially love it with my extended family, the Teti fam…
This is a story of allergies. Just kidding, except it is … despite being a native, every spring in Austin the allergies KICK MY ASS. I take my daily allergy meds, use my sinus rinse, take all the dirty hippie immune boosters, drink echinacea tea … and still! I had to take a whole damn…
