Pura Vida | Feel Good Friday 050721
Before you go to Costa Rica, you might be a bit cynical like me, thinking pura vida is a marketing slogan or a thing tourists pick up. But it’s not. Somehow those two words actually, adequately represent the embodiment of a country’s ethos. You can use it for hello, goodbye, ok, thank you, you’re welcome,…
Angry | Feel Good Friday 040221
This is not a feel good post. This is an angry post. This week, I came up against something that I have been fortunate enough to have avoided for 36 years: sexual assault. Let me be clear: “nothing” happened. As in, I was not assaulted. Or murdered. But I was skillfully manipulated, isolated, and put…
Friendsgiving | Feel Good Friday 112020
Not a single picture was taken at Friendsgiving, but it was a wonderful night of laughs, delicious homemade food, and loads of wine! Things I’m grateful for: Hot pool! Sunday football dude dance party Podcast recording Old friends who talk like no time has passed at all My weights Dispatches from Vegas Work work work…
The Work Groove | Feel Good Friday 100920
… when the work groove is back-to-back meetings from 7am to 4pm, and then you need to actually DO work after that. But, it’s all fun and I am very grateful. My weeks sure do look different right now, though, as weekdays are basically just work, workout, sleep, do it again. It does make the…
Labor (Day) and (Work) | Feel Good Friday 091120
Laboring is hard. Labor Day weekend is not hard. Especially not when you have a Permanent Adult Kiddie Cowgirl Pool with a rosé floatie and temps in the 100s. AND you get a last-minute invite on a boat, so that’s a fabulous Saturday. AND THEN your childhood bestie comes into town for adult kiddie pool…
Last Week of Semi-Freedom | Feel Good Friday 082120
One word, many weeks, a whole lot of wire-brushing: WHEELBARROW. Friends, the before and after of this gem is astounding. Found this wheelbarrow in my great-grandpa’s homestead, and spent a lot of hours soaking, spraying, rubbing, wirebrushing the steel to restore it to its pre-rusty shape; didn’t really touch the wood other than to seal…
BEEEEEACH | Feel Good Friday 080720 LOLZ it’s Monday
Welp, alongside accidentally ghosting a really important email opportunity (it’s FINE), I also ghosted myself apparently in not publishing my feel good friday. Suffice it to say, the beach was fun… Remember when I lived at the beach? Sigh. Now I drive to it. But in the most hilarious Spirit-airlines inspired back seat, squished between…
Tired, Slow, in a Hot Summer | Feel Good Friday 071720
PELOTON!!! That is what I am most grateful for this week. I have ridden it every day since we got it! … made much better by sharing the bike with the neighbros, and the group in Cali cheering me on, working out with me, and sending hilarious group texts. I am tired, it’s been a…
Playin’ with new stuff | Feel Good Friday 050120
Today marks a confusing technical end to Austin’s “shelter in place” as decreed by the governor, not the mayor. Like many people in Austin, I don’t think much will change for me, yet. Truth be told, I’m a bit sad to give up the amount of free time I have now to play with new…
