Cool Auntie...maybe?

 So for spring break my nephew decided to come visit me. Mind you we're close but there's always room for growth and improvement. Spending a week together is definitely one way to get those results. In true impulsive nature though my nibling called me a week & a half before said intended visit to let me know.  Well crap, as much as I love having him...it is also one of my peak seasons at work. So we've had to work around, well, work. I shifted my WFH day so as to pick him up from the airport, took him grocery shopping (got to feed the child), and came up with several things to do while also leaving room for him to do whatever. I offered him transportation and a list of places to check during the day but he seems to just enjoy vibing with the dog and practicing his music. That works for me.  I've been resisting the urge to check in with him every couple of hours...are you having fun? do you need to eat? what are you interested in now? am I still cool? It's been a...

I 🥰 You

You've braved so much and you aren't alone is your sadness, anger & fear. May tomorrow bring clarity and hopefully peace. You'll get through this with the support of the people who love you...like me.  Until next post...laters

We've officially started round 2 of political chaos. And whew it has been a wild one, from pausing all Federal grants & funding (like WIC & Veterans Aid) to having Federal workers resign or quit to ICE literally rounding people up. There's a lot of noise right now and fear and hurt and sadness. I am trying to hold on to joy. Like the joys of traveling, spending time with loved ones, resting. With that in mind,  here are some photos from my recent trip to Auckland, NZ.  Until next post...laters

New Year Eve

Image
Last mirror selfie of 2024. There's something about looking so dang adorable in a dirty bathroom mirror that sort of sums up my year to be honest. Finding the beauty in the situation. Honestly, I've had such a year of adventures,  growth, some of the lowest lows, and highest highs. This was a year of gratitude & pain truly. Thank you all for being a part of my 2024 story. Let's see what 2025 has to offer, together. Until next post (year), laters #HappyNewYear #2024 #2025

Another trip around the sun

Moe-vember was one for the books. First I celebrated with a RenFest celebration at the first ever Fall Fling.  The weather was beautiful,  the mead was flowing and the vibes were immaculate. Birthday/Black Friday treat to myself? Taylor Swift's The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology. Then we went on a Bahamian cruise (Celebrity Silhouette). Then we spent a few days with J's family and spent more time at the beach. And then we went to my favorite park and just hung out and caught up with friends. This year has been full of new adventures, old favorites, lessons learned and lots of laughs. Thank you to everyone who celebrated Moe-vember (extended til December 7th 😅) with me and followed along. I'm a lucky girlie to be surrounded by so many folks who love and care about lil ol' me. Until next post...laters

100 Bad Days: MLS Eastern Conference Semifinal

I wanna remember this so I'm writing it down. On Saturday I celebrated my RenFest birthday and it was awesome. I ate, drank, laughed and danced. Afterwards,  I went to see Leafblower ATL play a show.  At this point I've now been shenaniganing since 2pm and it's now 1:30a. I head home to shower/nap because I have to be at MBS by 3am (that turned out to be a lie 🙃) to ride a bus to Orlando for the MLS Conference Semifinal.  The bus broke down (after issues with the heat & A/C, multiple stops, skipping the Cracker Barrel food stop, in addition to being over an hour late to pick us up at MBS) about 15 minutes away from the tailgate. We had to send the other bus ahead, wait for it to come back, and load up everything onto one bus. Then, of course, the Fox Bros boxed lunch food never arrived & we had to shuttle to/from the stadium. After the game, we had our customary 30 mins hold (that was actually 45 minutes). They still hadn't sorted out the bus situation fully,...

🤬

I am a ball of so many things but mostly grief. There is less fear than 2016 but only because I was less hopeful. I will continue to show up for people no matter what and pour into them. I know there are those that will pour into me in return.  See you on the other side. Until next post.....laters
