Aaaaaand I wrote last Thursday: It is almost certain I will forget to post FGF from Merida, Mexico, where I will be tomorrow on the eponymous Friday, so let’s post on my birthday Thursday, shall we? I’m prepping for a small bday party at my parents’ house, casual wine and pizza I keep saying, but…
9 hours of volleyball! 11 games! And my achilles felt good. Made it to the semi-finals in random-draw tournament. Couldn’t jump as high as I expected sometimes, but otherwise am definitely almost back! My body? Not so good. I physically could not peel myself off of the couch once we got home; it is no…
Too many fights to fight, too few hours from flight to flight, too many questions about what’s right or right. I love my job, I really do, but right now I need the Wicked Dolphin mojito made with rum from Cape Coral and mint from my front yard to do its work while I don’t…
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…
Nali is no longer with us. It was the right and absolute hardest decision. I am so, so, so sad. So sad. Tired. Worn out. Find it hard to care about anything. Just sad. Any sound I hear—is that Nali? The first thing I think when I wake up: gotta walk Nali! Making plans in…
I love my team so much… last week two of my newest hires were in town for a photo shoot and they are just as awesome as I expected (granted, I already knew one of them). We had SO much fun taking tons of stock photos and videos, and celebrating one of their birthdays at…
Another epic weekend, another time I fail to post Feel Good Friday… Another epic 4th of July weekend with the second annual Beer/Seltzy Olympiad! Pics on ig. I’m so grateful for the stellar group(s) of friends that jumps in, buys in, anticipates and celebrates this party, and goes HAM when they get here. Grateful for…
Monday night, it rained for the first time in a long time in Austin. It was so beautiful to sit on my front porch reading a book and listening to the rain. It was a perfectly peaceful moment. My pupper has had a good week with good walks, small zoomies, and only one or two…
I need to confess: I saw Top Gun Maverick for the third time on Father’s Day. I loved it as much as I did the first two times. I also love sharing it with my dad, again, and my first-time-father-brother! Like so many of Nali’s weeks lately, this one was up and down. We’re on…
It’s been six months my achilles repair surgery of a complete rupture. I’m exceptionally grateful to my surgeon Dr. Andreo and my incredible PT team at Mondo Sports Therapy, Katie and Justin are the absolute best. I’m running sprints at 90% bodyweight (on an alter-g treadmill), jumping laterally onto and off of a 20″ box,…
