85% | Feel Good Friday 051719
I’m back to 85%, which feels pretty freakin’ good after almost two weeks of not feeling healthy—sheesh! Montezuma may not be totally gone, but he’s dormant at the moment (how long does it take for a parasite named after an Aztec emperor to pass through the system?) Looking forward to a weekend of relaxing with…
Things People in this Room Think I Should Be Grateful For | Feel Good Friday 041219
So I drove up to my parents’ house to do my taxes tonight … and there were multiple cars there. Turns out I walked into an impromptu family dinner, so my taxes aren’t done but I get to hang with my fam which is, after all, why I moved back … And then I grudgingly…
Nothing But Bachelorette | Feel Good Friday 040519
Did y’all notice I missed last week’s FGF? I was in full Bachelorette mode. It was a smashing success, if I do say so myself—and I do. Five days (world’s longest bachelorette party) of girl time with hilarious shenanigans, deck dance parties, champagne, amazing food, yoga, and endless hugs and kisses. More posts to come…
A Big Damn Week | Feel Good Friday 030119
This gratitude list was meant to be about my Marriage Certificate Trio visit—for which I am still obviously exceptionally grateful for—but this week contained so much more… How is it possible only 7 days have passed since the last Feel Good Friday? Last weekend was a marathon, epic Austin weekend (sans ANY visits to bars—hooray!).…
Travel is My Hobby | Feel Good Friday 020119
I’m off to Mammoth for our second annual Super Bowl weekend ski trip! I was asked recently what my hobbies are and the first thing I said was “travel!” followed closely by “and gym, yoga, playing sports …” but if you look at my calendar, it’s basically all travel all the time. It’s exhausting. But…
Aspen, Austin | Feel Good Friday 011819
Aspen Real life. This Aspen/Vail trip was characterized by getting to share real life with my best friends—often, visits turn into vacations, but this one got to include couch nights, deep conversations and also the complete lack of conversation that characterizes the deepest friendships. We went out and had a blast too, but I was…
Hey, I’m Throwing a Last-Minute NYE Party | Feel Good Friday 010419
For someone who hasn’t spent much time here since she’s moved back, the New Year’s Eve party I decided to throw basically only because I had a friend in town and didn’t want to go to the bars was pretty epic—I invited the few friends I’ve made, trusted their friend groups, and it all blended…
Do I Write about New Orleans or Thanksgiving? | Feel Good Friday 112318
Thanksgiving is the day for gratitude. I get to be with my awesome family for five days! I’m sure you’ll hear more about it next Friday in the weekly gratitude list / recap of allll the amazing things I have to be grateful for, so we’re just gonna move along to … Unexpected New Orleans…
Taking Care of Yourself | Feel Good Friday 111618
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…
