Monday afternoon, the Compound went for a walk to grab coffee from Tiny’s. Nali went. RonRon went (to the corner anyway, with a loud mew of protest). We weren’t gone but 15 minutes, but the fresh air, sunshine, and laughter was completely rejuvenating. I have long worked remotely and love it, but these casual, connective…
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…
Y’all, I think I forgot to mention my edger. I got an edger fo my birthday, marking two years in a row my parents have given me yard tools, and I could not be happier about it. This is an honest-to-god-edger, that rolls alongside the lawn and cuts deep. I love it. I love taking…
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…
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…
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,…
Happy Juneteenth. Here’s my text summary: It’s the “ending” day of slavery in the US … after the Civil War and Emancipation Proclamation, Texas ? still didn’t free slaves until June 19 a couple years later so that’s when it’s celebrated. More and more companies are recognizing the day as a way to celebrate Black…
“You look happy,” said one of my best friends. You know what? Despite feeling like everything is ‘wrong’ and wild and unsatisfying in my life, I am.
