Traveling Thanks

Thankful that after 9 hours of travel, I was 2,000 miles closer to The Presidents Cup. Unfortunately, I’m still 7,952 miles away before boarding the next flight! I’m also thankful for good seat buddies, clean airport bathrooms and the sleeping aids that will help me pass the next 15 hours of flying. Talk to you [...]

Simple thanks

Tonight’s thanks are easy… Is there anyone who isn’t thankful for an extra hour of sleep, thanks to falling back for daylight savings time? Of course, having nightfall at 5pm is not my favorite trade…but for today that extra sleep is much appreciated!

Texas-sized Thanks

Hello from Lake Fork, Texas, where I’m spending the weekend with the Teague ladies, aka the in-laws, on the aptly named “Sisterhood of Shoppers” annual adventure. There are ten of us ladies taking part, and it’s my first time getting to join in. Also it is my first trip to Texas alone (without Garrett) and [...]

One Day of Thanks

November is a really cool month. Fall is in full swing (as much as it does even here in Florida), the holidays are approaching (but not blaring Christmas music yet), and it’s a great time to reflect on the past year without much worry to new year resolutions or holiday stress. Also, it’s a month [...]

Suitcase Plans, Take Two

Remember a few weeks ago, when I wrote about how my travel schedule went from zero to hero in a 10-day span? No? Well then this might trigger a memory… There was one trip I didn’t put on that blog post, because I didn’t have the 100% non-refundable plane ticket in my hand yet. But [...]

Have Dinner With Us!

Seriously, where did October go? That may have been the fastest month in the fastest year of my life, so far. I thought time moved quickly when we planned the wedding last year, but this summer/fall has gone into warp speed. Now I’m left spending a Friday night cradling a glass of pinot and trying [...]

Thank You, Steve Jobs

We lost one of the best today. Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid falling in the trap of thinking you have something to [...]

September, so far…

Apologies for the delay in posts…which I just realized have lasted through the month of September so far (and here we are halfway through!) The easiest thing to do would be to blame it on an uptick of JU soccer and PGA TOUR Playoffs (for the FedExCup!), which have rearranged our lives like all commitments [...]

Come on, Irene

You know you live in Florida… …when you awake to see hurricane-related items on Facebook like: Needless to say, I now “Like” the NOAA NWS National Hurricane Center on Facebook too. (It adds a splash of color to my news feed.) In four summers of living in North Florida, I’ve avoided hurricane or storm warnings [...]
