Happy Thursday! I skipped blogging yesterday because I was up late the night before for my first ever tennis lesson. As soon as I parked my car in the driveway, we had a nasty storm come through, so I just didn’t sleep all that well. Ya win some, ya lose some. When I started blogging again last year, I wanted…
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Aaron has been out of town on business since Thursday, so I’ve been flying solo. And, while I was bummed I had to miss out on this trip, I had some things that needed to get done in Houston. On Friday, I had two contractors lined up to come to house to…
I saw this post on Shelly’s blog, and I thought it would be a fun exercise to answer these – and be able to look back and remember this time in our lives. What was life like early in 2020? January 2020 was fabulous. We were excited about the year ahead, and we made a trip to visit some of…
Happy Tuesday! My week is off to a wonderful start already. Don’t you love it when you can check some things off your to-do list? I know I sure do. One of the items on my to-do list for the month of May was to get our pool ready for the summer. Because it was covered all winter, it needed…
How was your Mother’s Day Weekend? I know this can be a tough day for many women, and I hope that you feel celebrated no matter which stage of life you are in. And, to all the moms, grandmothers, mother-in-laws and the women in our lives who have supported us like moms: thank you. Since my mom is in California,…
Happy Wednesday – and Happy Cinco de Mayo! This is one of my favorite holidays. So, in lieu of my typical “Work Wednesday” post, I figured I would share some memories of Cinco’s past. And they’ve been good ones because your girl likes a marg. So, it all started when I was in college. I went to Baylor, and Ninfa’s…
Have you ever stopped to think how the pandemic has affected you? I think in our quest to return to any sense of normalcy, that we can forget – or ignore – the stress we’ve all been through over the last year. Some of you are still working from home, some of you will be working from home forever, some…
Happy Monday! I hope you had a fabulous weekend. Today is going to be one of those days that is filled with meetings. It’s hard to get actual work done when I’m in meetings all day, but luckily, my schedule clears up slightly for the remainder of the week. Here’s what’s on my agenda today: Training – new intranet Anniversary…
Happy Monday! I was sitting at my desk working this morning, and these beauties showed up at my door: They were accompanied by this sweet note: I’ve said this before, but I’ll say it again – I’m so glad to have some of the best friends near and far. This was from mine and Aaron’s friend, Gary, who currently lives…
Does anyone else have a favorite Trader Joes? I certainly do. I like this one because it’s big, they always have plenty of fresh flowers and unique produce, and I just really like the whole vibe. (Okay – so maybe I do sound a little crazy). My favorite Trader Joe’s is about 15 minutes away from my new house #firstworldproblems.…
