A week of perspective! Last weekend’s failed camping excursion could have been a bust but turned into an absolutely awesome girls night and all-Sunday-long fun. What felt like a missed opportunity at work turned into a different kind of opportunity (to work from home and annoy the crap out of all my instagram followers with…
The purpose of existence is to exist. It is too fantastic to have a meaning. From Sadhguru. Today, that’s what I’m grateful for. A fantastic existence. (If you must know: also grateful for mom’s visit, GoT, nali, failed vb, bike stop-bys, yolo, dancing, a hot vacation renter, gas firepit, rosé, dog sitting, crash and dash,…
… says Mama last night, at a Paso Robles wine tasting she managed to find and fly in for—which was, of course, fabulous. Great venue, really, really good wines, lots of fun with the mama. The selfie was silly (thanks for the free sunnies!) but it encapsulates something I am so grateful for: curiosity. My…
My heart is so full! My friends are so awesome! Groups of friends are the best! I am so lucky I’ve been able to gather friends and mix crews and have one of the greatest weekends ever. Best summer ever! What else can be said that hasn’t been said about how freakin’ lucky and grateful…
A whole bunch of chance encounters led to new friends last weekend. And then, Sunday sorority house happened (I never lived in a sorority house) where the girls returned to my house for items they’d left Saturday and we laid around catching up on what happened last night, stalking our new friends on social media,…
It’s summer, and there is nothing I love more right now that hanging out on my patio (rosé in hand, probably). Last weekend, the patio hosted a super-fun graduation party on Saturday. We played Sunday volleyball. Then, post-vb we ordered Thai food and spent the next several hours just lounging around. It was perfect. The…
There’s a distinctly steamy, balmy, summery quality to summer nights at the lake. As far as I can tell, it doesn’t matter what lake or river, if you’ve got a dock and some water, there will be cicadas chirping quietly, water lapping softly, laughter punctuating the peace in welcome staccatos. Perhaps there’s a breeze that…
VB, FB, bike rides, yoga, Chalk, catch-ups, boy bonding with Nali pup—it was a great week of activities. Now I’m headed to the river! The river! Grateful for fun already had and fun anticipated … Also. I was feeling insecure about any number things—because I’m a girl, mostly—last night, so much so that I literally…
Remember my grand plans for Memorial Day Weekend—staycation? I made it to San Diego. That was it. But it was perfect. The holiday weekend days stretched long and luxurious. I love my new Acoustic Ales hat—and their beers are amazing, visit the brewery if you’re in SD—and I’m so grateful for a(nother) friend with whom…
This is one of my favorite views in the whole world. Portland took awhile to grow on me, but this condo and patio did not take any time to grow on me—they are the second home of my second family. I am incredibly grateful for my facebook gf and her parents, who really treat me…
