Because 39-year-olds can do whatever they want with their own blogs. It’s hard to describe the feeling of freedom, unmitigated joy, and peaceful ease driving through the mountains brought me. I like a road trip. I drove through boring, brown Texas and flat, long New Mexico until I hit the mountains just south of the…

Mini Refresh | Feel Good Friday 080522
Mesa Verde. Pagosa Springs. Santa Fe. Maria’s margarita hands down the best marg I’ve ever had, and salsa. Gruet. Tiny towns in Texas where all coffee shops on the map were no longer in business. My five-day reset, refresh road trip to pick up Lady Tabitha White Top, the new-to-me hybrid electric MINI I picked…
Is It Comfy?| Feel Good Friday 061920
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…
Double Trouble Toil and Bubble Feel Good Friday Monday
Is this perhaps the most non-sensical headline I’ve ever written? Maybe. And if so, very fitting. Shhhh don’t tell anyone I haven’t posted a gratitude list since 7/13… here’s why: Travels. Tahoe.

It involves an amazing crashing of circumstances that include but are not limited to an office desk eviction, a different planned last minute ski trip, airline miles that aren’t mine, an air mattress packed in my ski…
Research List: Last-Minute Memorial Day Weekend Trips
From girls going on boys weekend to crashing a sabbatical to staying home and doing nothing, my Memorial Day weekend 2017 plans have been in flux for weeks—and they still are. I want to go somewhere, but somewhere Nali can go, that’s an easy drive, and is cheap. Easy, right? Nah, I’ll probably end up…

HCG Diet Day 7
Technically, this is the 5th day of the diet part of the HCG Diet. The first 2 are loading, and the more I don’t eat now the more I wish I had eaten then … an oreo brownie? a BeauJo’s veggie pizza? Chocolove chocolate bars are on sale? Man I could have eaten all that…
Star Jumps
Whew, we made it from Austin to Aspen in right around 19 hours, including stops. Nali was drugged, so she was drowsy and didn’t pant the whole way. She did act sort of drunk when we got her out of the car, it was really funny. Awesome! That Ripped Guy of Mine(TM) and I stopped…
