Me: Have a great day! 3 weeks! Love you! Will send you countdown updates throughout the day!
Him: I’ll send you prenup updates throughout the day!
This wedding thing is getting real, folks. And soon.
(Ed. Note: there’s no prenup. My future husband thinks he is funny before 7am.)
“If you have someone that you think is The One… buy a plane ticket for the two of you to travel all around the world, and go to places that are hard to go to and hard to get out of. And if when you come back to JFK, when you land in JFK, and you’re still in love with that person, get married at the airport.”
Bill Murray ran across a bachelor party in Charleston this weekend (my bachelorette party missed him by a month! dang!) and gave this advice to the groom’s friends. Who would have thought that the guy behind “What About Bob?” could nail it like that? I may not be getting married at the airport but I could not agree with Bill more- find someone you adore…go through sticky situations, new situations, great situations, hard situations…abroad, locally, wherever…and if you emerge still adoring them? Marry them. Marry them immediately.

Long weekends ending is the worst.
I thought 2 things on my run this morning: 1) There is truly nothing better than starting the day with a good sweat and 2) God, I love this city.
And the holiday weekend has begun!
New-to-me-tip: don’t buy tortilla chips, make fresh ones! Corn tortillas, cut in fourths, sprinkle with salt and smoked paprika, bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Bam.
And the tomatillo salsa from “It’s All Good.” I cannot believe I made this. This cookbook has been a game changer for my cooking- God bless you, Gwyneth.
Happy Weekending!
Today I procured a marriage license and a new lip color– big fan of Summer 2014 already.
Soap with attitude for dudes.
The hardest part of packing for a trip is shoes- the best walking shoes for travel.
I love strawberries, I love Chia seeds- can’t wait to make this pudding.
Some holiday weekend tips for avoiding a hangover and other overindulging ailments.
Koozies that remind me of my Dad.
I had someone ask me today if I was cutting out alcohol until the wedding. Puh-lease. But maybe I will try some of these healthy cocktail recipes.

The last 4 days have gone something like this: hike a mountain, fly for 4 hours sitting directly next to the (highly trafficked) bathroom, pedicure, the most violent 12 hours stomach flu of my life, wedding dress fitting, a very emotional conference call to discuss showing love to a friend/co-worker facing a difficult season, Balena with my mom, drive to MI to give my slowly tiring out grandma a possible last hug, hop another plane, work trip, yoga.
Highs and lows. Up and down, quite very literally.
So much emotionality happening, no doubt, but once I remembered where I was when I woke up this morning, I thought how damn lucky I am to have people in my life I love so much. Because if I didn’t care about anyone or anything, there would be nothing attached to any high or low. It would just be.
So…highs and lows. Yes. Happening and necessary and a part of the deal in a life where there’s love. Fine by me.
Delicious quote alongside the best yoga class I have taken in ages- a happy Thursday.
So if April showers bring May flowers, what does May (practically) freezing rain bring? Disbelief? Anger?
