Eek, guess what?! Last night I impulsively bought a ticket to see Garth Brooks at Summerfest (aka "The World's Largest Music Festival) in Milwaukee on June 16! BY MYSELF! haha. I am a huge 90s country fan and I love love love Garth Brooks' music. I listened to it so much in high school. Unfortunately,… Continue reading On friends (in low places)
From a tree in my backyard... in a beer glass. 😅 I think after my lengthy blogging streak on vacation, plus some long "recappy" posts when we returned, I maybe hit a blogging saturation point, or something. Sorry for the radio silence all week! I guess I felt like I didn't have anything too significant… Continue reading Happy May! + MayBloPoMo 😉
I didn't get a ton of feedback either way, but from what I did, a few people seemed interested, so, here's a couple more days. 🙂 Thursday CATEGORYTIME SPENTACTIVITIES?

I have "tracked my time" intermittently for a couple years now, but more in the journalistic way. I have my little spreadsheet and jot things down, but I have never worried about exactness or tallying it up or anything. For some reason, maybe inspired by the recent BOBW episode and the suggestion to try time… Continue reading 2 days of time tracking results
I feel like this last ~week or so has been fun! Backing up to last Thursday- I already talked about my nursing symposium presentation + fun "little adventure" out for happy hour with Ivan. Friday was stormy and low key and we had tornado warnings. Side note: I haven't mentioned here yet, but we had… Continue reading A fun stretch!
Looking back, March was an abrupt pivot from all things SWIMMING (February) to a big spring break focus- with several miscellaneous events/ activities, first. I think the general vibe in the beginning was some relief to be released from the craziness of swim season. The month ended on a mega-high: our epic spring break trip!!… Continue reading March 2026 Recap
Yesterday was a rather different day for me, in multiple ways. My "usual" Thursday involves: going to the gym early, working from home all day, and then eating up leftovers from the week or cooking at home. I've been playing volleyball on Wednesday nights, and we tend to go out on Friday nights, so I… Continue reading An atypical Thursday!
Now that our spring break trip is in the rear-view mirror, it’s time for a little post-mortem analysis! I mean, I think I made it pretty clear from the recaps that we had an amazing time. There’s no question there. But there are always pros and cons to everything. And, since we’ve done several other… Continue reading Our Virgin Islands Trip: The Pros
Given our abrupt re-entry post-vacay, I was Very Happy to not have many major plans this weekend. Ethan did have an overnight tennis tournament, but we didn't go. They played Friday during the school day (why? I really don't know) and then Saturday beginning at 9 a.m. Hopefully we'll catch some other closer matches soon!… Continue reading The weekend, misc.
Getting home at midnight on a Sunday night and working Monday = NOT IDEAL, but I'm happy to report this week has been fine. Work has been pretty constant but not terrible. No one has grocery shopped yet, but we've survived on some pantry staples, frozen meat, etc. Ethan had an entire frozen pizza by… Continue reading Re-entry week: (lack of) groceries, a kid brag, diet update
GRATEFUL KAE
