I love a stormy beach—the rain, thunder, and weather with crashing waves is just as gorgeous as a 70-and-sunny blue-sky day, in its own way. Particularly in contrast. Fitting, then, that as I reflect on the past week as I compose this gratitude list, we’re sitting at a stormy beach in Texas. First, it should…
I think this is a lucky Friday the Thirteenth. Working backawards, it’s been an awesome, insane, busy week but there are so many good things I am grateful for: Nali’s health!! A infection revealed another cancer scare, but after a few worrisome days, thankfully no cancer. Girls Night Disguised as Book Club … man I…
Grateful for an awesome faux-Bird Gang weekend that included an epic Halloween, lots of hot cowgirl pooling, and a ton of love and affection from friends that are family. Patio party with my parents, onesie board game night, many Oakmont meals—I’m making it my local dangit!, shameless self-promotion of the podcast, and football Sunday amped…
It’s that ridiculous time of year in Austin where you WANT it to be fall and it’s just not … you might get some cool mornings, but then we’re back up in the high 90s in the middle of the day. Nonetheless, I’m making pumpkin centerpieces to keep it fall in my house, while updating…
… 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…
On Saturday, I was hanging out in my cowgirl pool on my float, readin’ my book, drinkin’ my electrolyte water, lovin’ life. My gratitude for that moment is captured pretty dang well in the picture I took from my rosé float in the pool. Which isn’t to say my weekend wasn’t busy—it was, with SUP…
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…
All of the people I love, loved on me on Tuesday, and before and after. It was awesome. If you’re reading this, you probably loved on me, so thank you thank you thank you. >>> there was a pool, a P6, a Better Half, there were so many laughs and flowers and A BARBELL and…
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…
As 2020 continues, so the Summa Uv Paddleboards continues… with a Friday night float turned hilarious 3am dance/bumble party wherein two single girls alternately dance it up and swipe on bumble while veeeeeery tipsy on (skinny) margaritas, a great new exploration of the other end of the lake followed by garage beers and Indian food,…
