Do you believe in redemption? Do you? My favorite stories are always the ones where the hero (or the villain) changes his mind at the last minute. Has the big revelation. Calls off the plan to detonate. Saves the hostages, frees his captive. Cries pretty, and sees the light. Redemption. You can redeem yourself if … Continue reading
I was eating lunch at work today when I thought I saw a woman almost totally eat it on the gravel to my left. Then I noticed she kept leaping back and forth, and realized it was my sister! Whom I had just been chatting with on Instagram, but I thought she was in Chico! … Continue reading
Today I had the moment every mother fears. And then blames herself for. We were finishing up at the market, getting ingredients for tonight’s final dinner (read: I had a goal to make dinner four Mondays in a row). We were putting back V’s little play shopping cart that Whole Foods lovingly provides and she … Continue reading
Today C took us to something so fun! Funbox! Funbox is a pop-up museum/experience in our area. I had sort of been hearing about it but didn’t know it was so close to us. C told us to get dressed and we had no idea what we were in for. People say it all the … Continue reading

When I started the goal of blogging 100 days in a row, I didn’t think it was that big of a deal. But ten days in, I was like, Holy shit — how am I ever going to make it to 100? It was a much bigger goal than I originally anticipated. It takes a … Continue reading
I got a comment yesterday asking me about my job, what a typical day is like at lululemon, and how I knew it was the right career for me. Well, I can start out by saying that I didn’t know it was the right job for me, at all! I applied at lululemon because I … Continue reading
James, Matt and I got to go to the American Music Awards tonight! James’s fiancé Briggon works for Dick Clark Productions and got us tickets; it was so fun! I’ve never been to an awards show before, so it was really neat to watch how it all worked and how much effort went into it. … Continue reading
My intention of the day was to spoil V with lots of attention, because I’m going to be gone a lot this week. We decided to go play at a nearby farm/pumpkin patch, and spontaneously met up with a dear friend I haven’t gotten to spend time with in so long, and her son. We … Continue reading
