Perfect start to a Saturday morning 😊

Started a couch to 5k today. 🏃 It’s hot. I’m sweaty. But felt good!

How I’m spending my July 4th holiday. 😊

Not even at work for 5 minutes before spilling some coffee on my shorts and having to scrub it out with small Shout packets in the bathroom. Happy Wednesday!

I don’t think I’ve watched anything other than soccer for the last 2 weeks and I’m okay with that. 😁⚽️

Was able to grab a quick picture with Richard Kind last night after his stunning performance as Edna in Hairspray at The Muny in St. Louis! 😁

Today has been a nice combo of video games and soccer. More days like this please. 🎮⚽️

I’ve been in airports or on planes for 12 hours. I just want to be home! 😫

Stopped at Bainbridge Alehouse for a couple of drinks. Ended up staying for trivia night and came in second place 😁

Just a couple of highlights from today’s adventures in Seattle. 😍

Just enjoying a little rainy afternoon in Seattle. Absolutely in love. 😍

Columbia River Gorge and Multnomah Falls did not disappoint 🏞️

Trying a lemon radler 🍺

Vacation has officially begun!

This time next week, I will be in Portland. I’m sooooo ready!

And Saturday ends with a little bit of power washing 💦

Today was a good day for soccer!

The best way to spend a Saturday morning. 🥰

Had to show one the office admin at work how to set up and use a Google form today. 😑

So ready for our Portland/Seattle/Vancouver vacation in a month! Any tips on food, things to see/do or whatever else are appreciated 😊

New snuggle friend…that she also tries to chew 😅

Master’s defense prep for tomorrow morning. Last step before graduation. 🙌🏻

Ready for the gala!

This is cool

I’ve spent too much money at this mall. 🤷🏻‍♂️

In Minneapolis for a few days for a conference 😊

Got promoted to Director of Communications and Marketing today! 🎉😁

The joys of planning a gala. So ready for it to be done. 😑

So excited to be doing absolutely nothing today 😊

Hey friends! I am doing a research study on LGBTQ+ persons and belonging in the workplace for a class this semester. You’d fill out a survey with demographics and then I will schedule a virtual interview! You can learn about the study here: siue.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

My sleepy little family ❤️

Can’t help but start my work day with this song. 😅

I’m so ready for brunch today. 🥰

My afternoon nap buddy 🥰

She desperately wants to eat the mulch in front of her but I told her no. So she just laid down by it 😂

Got my haircut this morning which was the highlight of my day. The rest of the day…garbage. 🙄

Ready for Gaga 😁

Early flight to Phoenix this morning to see Lady Gaga tomorrow night! 🤩

So two weeks ago, I sprained my thumb. Tonight, I sliced my index finger on the same hand. What will happen to the other three fingers in two weeks??? 😞 Also, I have homework to do and typing is difficult. Sooooo…

Get to spend some time in this. Soccer injuries are fun in your 30s😅

And so it begins! ❄️🌨️

Post soccer headband hair for the win⚽️

Hair is so long that it’s on my eyes so I am wearing one of my soccer headbands today while I do things around the house 🤷🏻‍♂️

Had a dream last night that I got to meet Julie Andrews ❤️

Happy New Year to all you lovely people ❤️🎉

We love a little evening fire for a game night. 🔥

I’m so ready for my after Christmas massage this afternoon 😁

Haircut ✅ and as an added bonus, she styled it and made the natural curl really pop!

I’d say my birthday is off to a great start! 😁House is clean! License is getting renewed. Friend from Florida will be here soon! Let the weekend festivities begin🎉🎊

Pretty sure this is the fourth or fifth year where John Williams has been my #1 😅
