WELL JANUARY HAPPENED. And it hit us like a ton of bricks. We are still climbing our way out of the rubble, right on the tail-end of the holidays, and so much work and so many appointments and several sick days with no real recovery time and weddings and trips and family and yada-yada-yada. I feel like I haven’t had time…
Sorry for being so old – this is a lot of pictures for one post: 36th birthday here 35th birthday here 34th birthday here Me at 33 here
Is there anything better than seeing two of your dearest friends tie the knot? How about being a bridesmaid in your dear friends’ wedding? (Me!) How about MARRYING your dear friends?! (My husband did that!) HOW ABOUT SLEEPING IN A MANSION for the weekend? (Yesss!) We had the most amazing time at the Wilson Creek Winery and…
I made the shocking discovery last year that I am an introvert. It took me by surprise and liberated me in ways I never could have imagined. I’m still learning to navigate it, because 1) I’ve always strongly preferred my extrovert side and 2) I forget. I forget that I’m an introvert and I forget…
Last weekend, I got my license to be a stripper (and the bruises to match). This was in Vegas at a class titled Pole Dancing 101. Seems pretty official! I do parties! And take champagne as payment! I think the holidays, and weeks on end of a packed schedule, and weekend getaways… they all finally caught…
Making: many trips to the little neighborhood Handy Market. It’s my favorite. Cooking: is not for the faint of heart. Drinking: a French 75 at every possible occasion. I should learn to make it. Reading: this is almost as embarrassing as the “cooking” category. Wanting: Stevie to gain more independence in a major way. Looking:…
At our Christmas party, I put the dessert in the oven with the Saran Wrap still on top. Blame the a-a-a-a-alcohol. I don’t think I’ve been giving blush enough credit. Since I’ve had mild rosacea my whole life, I just never thought I needed it or even understood how to use it. But I piled it on…
I wanted to throw out some more health tips for you guys before the new year, in case you’re looking to make changes after gorging yourself during the holidays (like I did). This is kind of how I stay on track for the long run. PLANNING AHEAD The most important thing you can do for yourself…
Looking back, I realized I never updated you guys on my Fall Capsule. Turns out, I don’t think that many people cared, so that’s a… relief? I guess? Since California had so little change in the weather anyway, I didn’t really have to worry about making many adjustments. I wore my Summer Capsule with a little…
Merry Christmas from us !! Christmases with Stevie. Hm. I’m trying to think how to describe it… They really seem to simultaneously get harder and easier each year. Harder because Stevie knows what he wants and he wants it now. No exceptions. Lots of tantrums, screaming, demanding, and more presents!!!! I know he’s not the…
