Weekend Recap: Living My Best Isolation Life

weekend / 4 Comments

This past weekend, I stayed home just as much as the previous weekend, and I was still just as alone at home. (Well, alone with Sesame!) But my attitude was so different this weekend… and it was a good one. I started the day by jumping right into my workout before anything else: a 60 minute yacht rock spin class with Jenn Sherman. These days, I’m used to doing an ab workout and walk with Sesame before my real workout, so I sometimes have trouble gearing up for an intense workout first thing. Yacht rock sounded like it would be pretty rhythm-focused… …

On Tuesday, I hosted a virtual happy hour for one of my teams at work. I had everyone fill out a survey of silly / interesting questions ahead of time, then we guessed who gave which answer. It was a lot of fun! One of the questions was, “If you could have any superpower, what would it be?” Whenever I’ve been asked this question in the past, my answer has always been, “the ability to freeze time.” In the last few years, I have found myself acutely aware of how limited my time is. There is so much I want to …

Best_Books_Of_July_2019

I read a lot this month, for a variety of reasons, including finishing two books last night just before it turned to August. (Ugh, insomnia / anxiety is not a good reason to read more… but it’s better than the alternative.) In July, I read twelve books, which I think is a record for me this year, and also means I’m actually starting to get back on schedule to have read 100 books by the end of the year. (Right now, I’m at 44 books read in 2019, which is 14 books behind – better than the 16 I was …

Weekend Recap: Winter Culinary Weekend

weekend / Leave a Comment

Recap of January 25-28. This weekend was not a great one for me, which was a real disappointment because I had very high hopes. It was Beaver Creek Winter Culinary Weekend, an event I thoroughly enjoyed last year. This year though, the format was quite a bit different, and I really didn’t like it as much 🙁 Thursday night, I went to bed late and then had major insomnia. I kept waking up and thinking about some work that I should have done before the end of the day but had left until the morning. Every time I woke up, …

Weekend Recap: Running a Campaign and a Race

weekend / 2 Comments

While my last few weekends have had a lot of downtime and unplanned activities, this weekend was the opposite – a whirlwind of plans and commitments that barely let me be home. But I loved every minute of it! To be fair, I kicked off this weekend with a lot of downtime and relaxation. Earlier this year, I decided it was silly that I’ve been working in Florida less than a half mile from the beach, and yet I never see the ocean. So I started taking one Friday morning a month off to stay in Florida, lie on the …
