You know those events that are so epic they seem like and have a reputation for having always been so? Well Beer Olympics is one of those amongst my Austin friend group, despite this year’s only being the third annual. It’s tomorrow, and I could not be more excited. I LOVE throwing this party. It’s…
We’re engaged! I’ve taken cool walks every morning for the last week! My cup is full with Marriage Certificate Trio & GD4L love! My belly is full of amazing Willamette pinot! I love Oregon! My helpful handsome humanitarian warrior is so thoughtful and supportive! Even when I yell at him! Which I do! Working while…
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…
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…

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 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…
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…
