011720 // Aspen: 1, Lyssa: 0 I returned from last weekend’s Aspen trip fulfilled with friendship, exhausted, and sicker than I’ve been in a long, long time. Like, sick enough that I fell asleep on the DEN>AUS flight in a middle seat without a neck pillow. Sick enough that I still haven’t eaten solid food,…
I am so grateful, for this most trying, amazing, high and low, peak- and valley-filled year. I am grateful for this absolutely ridiculous Christmas week, which saw me bounce from San Antonio to Sonoma to Houston back to Austin in just 6 days… San Antonio generations girls getaway at the gorgeous Hotel Emma in the…
Phew… the heath scare for Nali was real, and terrifying, and while better, we’re not out of the woods yet. I love that dawg with my whole heart and am so grateful for her and the family—and friends, last minute, with tears—who love her and me and her and me. Dr. Tim Julien at Paz…
$3,395 It wasn’t the most amount of money raised for Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s Backyard Ball 2019 out of all the Austin’s Finest honorees, but I am so impressed and amazed by the generous support of my friends and fam (and Tenchi One Martials Arts)! Last night was the big event, and I felt so loved…
She’s fine, but nali got hit by a car on Friday night. After a couple of days on doggie opioids before her real vet put the kibosh on the smack, she’s totally back to normal. My gratitude for her health knows no bounds right now. My gratitude that neither of us was hurt is similarly…
You’ll have to forgive me for indulging in some good ole fashioned nostalgia because this year was a freakin’ doozy. SO many amazing trips, the year split by a big move, the most perfect scenario of moving next door to my little brother … the most amazing people in my life … 2018 is GOOD…
I’m on a plane to New Orleans, that I was supposed to be on yesterday. But I had hopped on a plane Monday for two meetings in 48 hours in OC, and when I got back to Austin just couldn’t get everything done in time to take off again. Though I agonized over the change…
Well, I made some new friends and biked around once the weather cleared up and had some awesome dinners with awesome people and it’s beginning to almost feel like I live here in Austin. Which is good because technically I moved here 5 months ago next week (although I long joked that I was moving…
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,…
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…
