I mean, it’s perfect. I debated what to do with this kitchen alcove/nook, but making it a coffee bar was definitely the right move. Thanks in no small part to the most amazing, badass, delicious drip coffee maker of ever, that I just got after coveting my facebook girlfriend for life’s for years… It’s the Zojirushi…
A week ago, I was on an airplane flying to LA from Amsterdam. After a weekend of wedding shenanigans, I finally landed back in Austin on Monday at midnight. Tuesday, I closed on my new house. A friend who I am exceptionally grateful for helped be excited for me when I was too tired to…
I am 34 tomorrow. Thirty-four is somehow so much older than 33, and two weeks ago I prepared a post for this Feel Good Friday that didn’t actually feel very good, deep in the angsty throes of self-reflection about what it means to be a certain age at which I suddenly feel like I should…
Travel. I am grateful I get to travel! Norway was beautiful, soul-searching, painful, and I’m deeply in love with it (sounds a bit like love eh?). Copenhagen was quick and charming. More on both to come soon. And now I’m off to the Circling Festival and Amsterdam… wish me luck! Follow my adventures on ig…
Tomorrow, I depart for Europe! Today, we discuss the kind of person I am and want to be. Last weekend, I played a volleyball tournament all Saturday where you switched teams every game—it was really fun, and I got to meet a bunch of people. That night, I was exhausted but felt pressure to go…
“Let’s just pretend I move here in September” I said this past weekend, because I haven’t spent much time in Austin since “moving back”. I am grateful, however, for the really awesome friends I have here and the exciting things falling in to place to set me up for a wonderful fall in Austin. But…
This is one of my favorites: As we discussed on Monday, which feels like AGES ago, this has been a freakin’ whirlwind, and while I’d like to be the baby tomato, it doesn’t look to be slowing down any time soon. Maybe I can ketchup in Europe?
Is this perhaps the most non-sensical headline I’ve ever written? Maybe. And if so, very fitting. Shhhh don’t tell anyone I haven’t posted a gratitude list since 7/13… here’s why: Travels. Tahoe. Lululemonlinenpants. Framily. SoCal. Last night. House sale. Solo drive. Tucson stop. Family. Engagement. House hunt. Brother. Grateful. Exhausted.
“You will never be completely at home again, because part of your heart will always be elsewhere. That is the price you pay for the richness of loving and knowing people in more than one place.” I’m really feeling this quote right now (I posted it years ago on my instagram, at the time I…
Nali is happy. I am happy. Content. At peace. San Antonio is awesome, I can’t wait to go back. Low-key July 4th was awesome. VB at Aussie’s was awesome. This weekend is going to be awesome. The Handmaid’s Tale is absolutely horrifying but captivating (I’ve been binge-watching on a free trial of hulu). The next…
