I’m super boringly lucky, right? Like I’m still grateful for my friends and family and dog and body and work and life. Rrrrreat. (or whatever the sound of a record stopping is) Listen, my life is not sunshine and rainbows all the time. But I am trying with all my heart right now to live…
There was a moment during my Tahoe trip last weekend for the Fourth of July when Matt, who is basically acting Dad as he was the weekend planner and former Tahoe resident, said, “When we’re on a trip together, we’re family. You take care of your family.” The context doesn’t matter, the point was that us…
Happy early wear loads of red, white, and blue day. I’m on a boat (maybe). Last weekend, however, I was on a float! Seattle! I was visiting the person I still call my roommate though she now lives in another city in another state with a different roommate aka her boyfriend. It was an absolutely…
“Maybe she won’t notice if I just camouflage” … Someone is a little disconcerted by all the buzz around moving, but ultimately she’s happy in this new spot. And hey, if puppy is happy, I’m happy, because I couldn’t be more grateful for this dog. My parents being here this past weekend kicked my butt into…
Happy Memorial Day weekend! I’m somewhere on my way to hiking the Grand Canyon, with some friends I am very grateful for, but today I want to talk about being grateful for Game of Thrones. And Silicon Valley. Because I watch these two shows with a very important friend of mine, and I am grateful…
I love the rain. I love the contrast to the sunny California days, I love the excuse to snuggle up with a good book or a thousand TV shows, I love the feeling of rain on my body. I LOVE the rain on the beach. It’s been a rainy few days in Newport, and I couldn’t…
A most perfect trip. From start to finish, everything was perfect. Once-in-a-lifetime. The Kentucky Derby crew: THE. 141st. KENTUCKY. DERBY. The Derby Outfit (shoedazzle came in at the last min with killer stupid comfortable wedges): The day before the Derby, we had a girls day at Kentucky Oaks, where I wore my Derby hat I…
I’m not really a big kid person—I don’t coo over babies, I don’t wanna hold or pinch cheeks or any of that nonsense. But dear god do I love this baby child:
So grateful for friends! The Orange Coast mag best restaurants party (click here for the list) was another smashing success, and I was all too happy to share the fun with a great group of friends. I remember a mere two years ago, I had only lived here for two months and I didn’t have…
The story of my first time off-roading in the jeep (named Ginger Lynn for the top pornstar name in her birth year, also fitting her coloring) with the best co-pilot I could have imagined—even though she unbuckled before the first hill “in case I need to bail” … TDS 2015 or bust! Literally. Obviously I’m…
