Reason #432 that it's probably good I'm not a parent: the time of year has come when Cadbury Mini Eggs and Starburst Jellybeans assume the role of 'food groups' in my diet, and I'd be really bad at leading by example. Being the first day of spring and all, one should be excited about warm… Continue reading 5 Faves & a Dud: 3/20/18 Edition
This week has been lame. Let's all collectively grab our tiny violins and play a symphonically sad song for the fact that yesterday I got sent home from work by my boss for having a scratchy throat (read: germs) in the office, and then today I took myself out of commission and took my first… Continue reading 5 Faves & a Dud: 3/6/18 Edition
Unhanding this bag of Goldfish crackers in order to type much faster would be the smart and efficient thing to do, but I'm not here for that tonight. I got my schmancy new red APLs today, which were bright and fun like the San Diego sky this past weekend. Can we talk about that for… Continue reading 5 Faves & a Dud: Spring Cleaning
Tuesday, you creeper. You're here again. So why not get absorbed in the ADOBO CHICKEN STUFFED AVOCADO that was put down in front of me when I started writing this post, and now finish it up on Wednesday morning like a caffeinated champ. Caffeine courtesy of Fleet Coffee in Austin. You adorably hip hole in… Continue reading 5 Faves & a Dud: 2/20/18 Edition
Hooray, it's time for the RED STUFF I wanted to write about last week. Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! Spending the evening with my main man, Aerus. (Yes, my laptop has a weird name. Like you expected anything less out of me.) I used to be one of those cynically single girls who dubbed Valentine's Day… Continue reading 5 Faves & a Dud: Valentine’s Day Edition
BLAST! I was going to do a Valentine's edition with a bunch of red stuff, but then I looked and realized we still have 8 days, and next Tuesday's only the 13th. So let's scrounge up some non-red things instead. Perhaps in the whole 'our CEO resigned because he did a mysteriously bad thing' thing,… Continue reading 5 Faves & a Dud: Stewie, Spanx & Sprouts
Something rare happened this weekend. I logged onto lululemon's What's New page and I couldn't tell 1-week-old upload from 2-week-old gear. Call me frozen molasses because I'm seriously lagging behind. Aspen's been great, but sooner or later, even a long trip in a seriously beautiful place leaves you wanting your lion, witch and entire wardrobe… Continue reading 5 Faves & a Dud: Braids & Batteries
It's the return. to. NORMALCY! How do I know this? I went to the grocery store last night, and there was nobody planted outside the entrance trying to guilt me into making a holiday donation or sell me things. It's just plain ol' January. Last night, lululemon sent out the usual email saying "it's baaaack",… Continue reading 5 Faves & a Dud: 1/10/18 Edition
Once upon a time, I really didn't like country music. In the spring of 2013, I found myself working at a NASCAR mecca in the middle of nowheresville, Alabama... Talladega Superspeedway. For those of you who aren't familiar, race fans take tailgating VERY seriously, and Talladega Boulevard is the epitome of crazy race fun. So,… Continue reading 5 Faves & a Dud: Ooooh, Shiny Things!
Ehhh, so I'm a few days late on this one. Work happens. So do 3-hour flight delays that quarantine me in the airport and finally afford me a few uninterrupted hours of tinker time on the laptop. In the meantime, true to form, Lululemon kind of sort of brought us a shred of hope in… Continue reading 5 Faves & a Dud: Lululemon Lightens Up, Gets Gifty
