your comforter doesn’t go in your washer
Fun fact I learned this week: washing big bulky bedding in an average home washing machine can throw off the balance of the machine, cause lumps in your comforter, or even shorten the lifespan of your washer. So where does one wash comforters, if not in the washer? I’ll give you a hint: I don’t…
Read Morea tale of two remote controls (first world problems, digital nomad edition)
You want digital nomad hacks? Here’s a particularly brilliant one I came up with. It solves a vital problem. First, a picture: Can you guess which one is mine? That’s right. I blue-taped that bad boy so I don’t accidentally take my host’s remote by mistake. Other things blue tape is handy for: marking all…
Read MoreKick Monday’s Ass: snow – pretty to look at, sucks to drive in (Feb 7, 2022)
It’s time to Kick Monday’s Ass… I knew it snowed in Santa Fe… I just didn’t know it snowed THIS much. That’s not a complaint, by the way. Especially since I finally understand that whole thing about “it’s a dry cold”. I’ve actually acclimated pretty quickly to snow and ice, all things considered. Generally speaking,…
Read MoreGroundhog Day: Angie edition
Heeeeeeeeeyyy Feb 2! I forgot all about your fucked up-ness with the fat rodent predicting our weather. But it’s probably the first time in over 10 years that I’ve woken up on Feb 2 with several inches of snow on the ground. Went outside in my slippers to snap a pic because it was pretty.…
Read MoreKick Monday’s Ass: balloon buddies and hidden opportunities (Jan 31, 2022)
It’s time to Kick Monday’s Ass… I did a “bucket list” thing last Friday… In case you can’t see the images above, that’s me in a hot air balloon suspended over Albuquerque, New Mexico just after sunrise. I’m glad I waited to Google “hot air balloon accidents” until after I got back down on the…
Read MoreKick Monday’s Ass: but(t) it’s the four corners (Jan 24, 2022)
It’s time to Kick Monday’s Ass… It’s funny to me how you never really know what will connect with people. Even being in marketing as long as I have… most everything I put out there is an educated guess. I’m never 100% certain how people will react. The reason: humans gonna human. People are predictable…
Read MoreKick Monday’s Ass: ain’t it fun livin’ in the real world? (Jan 17, 2022)
It’s time to Kick Monday’s Ass… Life happens… have you baked that into your plans? I got a timely reminder of that last week when I came down with a head cold (I blame dry mountain air). At the same time I got a bit of good news… an article I submitted to Entrepreneur LAST…
Read MoreKick Monday’s Ass: commit schmommit (Jan 10, 2022)
It’s time to Kick Monday’s Ass… We’re 10 whole days into 2022… has your life changed yet? OK, I’m being bit of an asshole over new year’s resolutions, I get it. My frustration isn’t at the resolutions themselves… having a goal is great, as is aspiring to improve! My struggle is with how we go…
Read MoreAn adventure for Christmas part 4: spider monkeys
To read part 3, click here. Something weird happened in the cosmos this year. Each adventure I originally planned with my siblings was canceled. One for a death in the family of the headlining band, and the other for COVID concerns. Dianne (sister) and I had planned on going to see a Broadway-style production of…
Read MoreAn adventure for Christmas part 3: gatos and golf carts
For part two (bodies, butterflies, and butter chicken) click here. My dad and stepmom are big history buffs. Like everyone else in the family, when I first proposed an adventure for Christmas, they were kinda bewildered. But shortly after I shared the castle trip experience (part 1, click here to read), they suggested we visit…
