On holiday weekends when I haven’t planned a party, I often forget it’s a holiday. This is a blessing—who doesn’t want a surprise long weekend?! This one is much-needed; a brief respite before we’re off to Oregon for two whirlwind weeks of work, wine, and my bestest friends in the whole wide world. Once I…

“This is so much fun!” | Feel Good Friday 052023
I’ve said this before: the person who says “oh this is so much fun!” is always perceived as the person having the most fun. Wednesday night I observed this phenomenon again with an eclectic group of incredibly successful women eating delicious food at Rose Mary Chicago, sharing Croatian wine, and lifting each other up. It…

This week I’m grateful for: Bob squeezing into the floor of the two-seater truck and on top of his kennel in the mini and the bmw the mobile mechanic a romp through a random field off the side of the road as we waited for a tow truck OmniShield pest control pack walks a puff-sleeve…

OMG TWO STEP INN was every bit as good as I was hoping. Fantastic music, hilarious mini adventures with my man, a fab festy fit, perfect temps on Sunday … it was all epic. I loved it. I’m so grateful. We met this guy, and he was amazing too. This week was birthday week for…
K-Ci & JoJo Karaoke | Feel Good Friday 041423
It’s been at least a decade since I got up on stage and sung karaoke. Maybe more. But Saturday night celebrating my friend’s birthday and trying to get another to meet a girl, I willingly went up and dueted All My Life. The birthday boy sent me the video this week, and it’s HILARIOUS. I’m…

TODAY we skied in Taos, New Mexico, and it was awesome. I finished my work day and we grabbed a few hours on the mountain, where we got sunshine and then dumped on – 3+ inches in less than half an hour! Tomorrow is going to be epic. Making the 12+ hour drive, kinda overnight,…

The Super Bowl Ski Weekend trip is THE BEST. Finally getting my achilles + new skis + new boots dialed is THE BEST. Getting to see baby Byobi from doggie boot camp is THE BEST. Bob is gonna be THE BEST. Jessica at Blue Moon K9 is THE BEST. Working hard and loving my job…
is it always a metaphor? | feel good friday 020323lol
020323: is losing your voice always a metaphor for … losing your voice? Did writing about being even a tiny bit intimidated bring this on? Did I silence MYSELF? Or is it just recirculated airplane air, a virus going around, a diminished immune system from disrupted routines? Coming back from the leadership offsite, I was…
oh well it’s sunday again | Feel Good Friday 012023/12223
Bob, Zimbobwae, Byobi … the weird lil corgi army crawler guy continues to be simultaneously a complete and utter dickhead (to strangers, people walking by, and everyone who has to hear him on my conference calls) and a source of endless joy, love, and humor (especially at night, when it’s dark, and he can’t see…
Fancy as … | Feel Good Friday 010623/011323
