Kick Monday’s Ass: strategic peer pressure (April 11, 2022)
It’s time to Kick Monday’s Ass… I have a confession to make: I break promises to myself. I’m not looking for reassurance or a pat on the back and a “congrats for being human, Angie!” It’s simply a fact. 90% of the time, if I tell myself I’m going to do something or make a…
Read MoreKick Monday’s Ass: vacation kinda kicked my ass, not gonna lie (April 4, 2022)
It’s time to Kick Monday’s Ass… Ever have one of “those” weeks? I think you know what I’m talking about… everything that could go wrong, does, and does it all at roughly the same time? That was my week last week. It also happened to be the first vacation week I’ve taken in years (much…
Read MoreAngie and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad vacation
First, a disclaimer: Indulge me in a little “woe is me” melodrama here. I know there’s a lot worse in the world than what I went through this week, and that I’m incredibly fortunate in the grand scheme of things. And I’m also allowed to have a fucking bad week, so I make no apologies…
Read MoreKick Monday’s Ass: Vegas should be interesting (March 21, 2022)
It’s time to Kick Monday’s Ass… I think I’m gonna enjoy Vegas. It’s already been an interesting weekend reconnecting with all my favorite west coast brands. Del Taco. El Pollo Loco. I even missed the Arco gas station. It’s nice to know after five years of being outside California, the gas prices are at pretty…
Read MoreKick Monday’s Ass: nice fight? (Mar 14, 2022)
It’s time to Kick Monday’s Ass… I think I’m locked in an epic battle of wills. Only instead of a fight to the death, it’s like… nice to the death? It started the first week I was in Flagstaff. We got hit with a few inches of snow. Since I wasn’t planning on going anywhere,…
Read MoreKick Monday’s Ass: snowbound and comparing myself to David Lee Roth (Mar 7, 2022)
It’s time to Kick Monday’s Ass… I’ve been struggling a lot with focus lately. It’s to the point that even my trusty old hexagon timer isn’t helping much. It could have something to do with the fact that I’ve been cooped up in the house more than usual, considering the large amount of snow we’ve…
Read MoreKick Monday’s Ass: my new workshop + a weird story about washing clothes (Feb 21, 2022)
It’s time to Kick Monday’s Ass… In case you missed it, on Friday I announced a brand new in-person event I’m calling Eat. Play. Launch. (hat tip to Chris Orzechowski – HI CHRIS! – for lending his genius to that absolutely fucking perfect name) I’m excited about this one, and not just because I get…
Read MoreSunrise at Mesa Verde
At first when I sat down to write this, I was noodling with the idea of transitions, and how they can be difficult but beautiful. And then I decided to just post the damn pictures. Maybe I’ll be poignant later, but for now… my trip to Mesa Verde National Park. Someone recommended this to me…
Read MoreKick Monday’s Ass: when (ridiculous) dreams come true… (Feb 14, 2022)
It’s time to Kick Monday’s Ass… I did it. I FUCKING DID IT. This weekend, I put my butt on the Four Corners, as promised. The first image is of me sitting cross-legged in a circle of cement. The second is of a kind stranger who offered to take a picture of me with all…
Read Moreyour 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…
