I've been trying to write this blog post for days. It's been sitting in my head, coming together, slowly but surely. I really want to get this all down, not just for my sake, but for the sake of anybody reading this. I feel so inspired these days to be "a better me." A better ve
I had a great weekend, but it was exhausting. From yoga, to seeing my first drum corps show , to getting back to SF and eating dinner at one in the morning, to waking up on Sunday and running 7 miles, to shooting a show last night ... it was action packed, and I am so tired . I know I have a free ni
I feel like I say this every week, but I've only rarely been this excited for Friday. It's been a long week, and we're really busy at work, so I feel more worn out than usual. Do I always say that too, though? Probably. But there's going to be some fun things going on this weeke
One of my birthday gifts this year was a new bicycle. One I've had my eye on for years, and never thought I'd actually have for myself. But times change, and here she is, and no she doesn't have a name yet, and I am absolutely in love with her . She's a Public C1, a Dutch style one-s
last weekend, 2:30am, las vegas Warning: emo thoughts ahead I can't believe tomorrow is my birthday. And that I'm going to be 32. That feels insane . It feels insane enough that it's been two years since I turned 30. I remember writing in my online journal (remember, this was pre-b
My mind is almost entirely on Vegas right now. I just want to get there, already! But yesterday I had a nice day and got to do some things I don't normally do. I took the day off to do some user research at ModCloth (having the opportunity to do this is one of my personal perks to living in San
I feel really scattered these days. I wish I had more to say that was coherent. I'm just trying to get through all the days in my life and do them as well as I can. I'm not always feeling great -- this morning I woke up in a really challenging mood, and so far I've felt about .0001 secon
I've spent most of this week sick with stupid bronchitis again, and I'm really annoyed about it, so given the need to fight The Grump, here's a list of things I'm currently really, really excited about: Source: Public Bikes This amazing thing is going to be mine in just 10-14
Pacific Grove, 2006 I suppose its time I write this post. It's just hard. Because it reminds me of the past, of things I've let go, and it's hard to think about. But it struck me again this morning, and my heart aches, so here it is. There are many mornings, as I ride my bike to wo
It's only Wednesday, but I am so ready for this upcoming holiday weekend. I'll be out of town on Friday night and all of Saturday shooting a wedding in the Sierra foothills, returning to SF in the wee hours of Sunday morning, and thank goodness I don't have work on Monday. After my fi
I was afraid to write about Bay to Breakers beforehand this year. I wanted to, but I wasn't sure what I would say. It's been two years (to the day, today) since the perfect day that was my first Bay to Breakers . So much about my life has changed since then. Some good, some bad, all emoti
