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…
I am not at all, not even a little bit, grateful | Feel Defeated Friday 051223
I have like 7 drafts of what this post could be. I feel obligated to post, because I may have been sporadic lately but at least I’ve posted once every two weeks. I have some cool ideas (below, but I did not write them today). But today – today I feel defeated. And I’m sure…
just a list | Feel Good Friday 042823
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…
THE FULLEST BEST WEEKEND | Feel Good Friday 042123
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…
“I gotta find a job that requires me to casually be in Miami lol” | Feel Good Good Friday 040823
I spent four days in Miami this week, but really Miramar, and really just inside the office and in the hotel. Ah, the executive life … it looks sexy on the outside but really, it’s intense and hard and AWESOME and decidedly not casual. I tried to walk to the office but luckily some female…
Picnic Blanket Friday BUT WILD HAIR THURSDAY #bobsfirstroadtrip | Feel Good Friday 032423
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,…
Wedding Whirlwind | Feel Good Wednesday 030823
Because I visited three states in as many days last weekend and by noon tomorrow I will be in a fourth, we’re doing yet another feel good whatever day. But I am SO grateful I got to celebrate two wonderful, amazing couples at two weddings this past weekend. I’ve been thinking a lot about weddings,…
THE BEST | Feel Good Friday 021723
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…
