June!! Is long over now. As you can see by the (many) pics I selected above, the main focus of June was our trip to Zion National Park + Las Vegas. (See all the recaps here.) However, we were home for the whole beginning of the month. The focus of that half was Sectionals and… Continue reading June 2026 Recap
Today is day 84 with no soda. Not one single sip! I'm truly very proud of myself. Overall, it's going well. I can't tell if I actually miss IT, or I just miss the dopamine hit that came along with it. I believe that I mostly miss having that thing to really look forward to,… Continue reading Quitting soda update #5
I’ve been feeling a teeny bit twitchy lately because this “extroverted introvert” has been camped pretty solidly on the “slightly too much togetherness time” side of the aisle for weeks now. NOT actually complaining, because obviously on our wonderful vacation, there was naturally a lot of togetherness time! And that’s a great thing. It’s just… Continue reading Lately
It feels good to be home. I already told you how I launched myself right from vacation -> back into work mode. Ivan and I both felt pretty sleep deprived for a few days due to the red eye flight, obviously, but also I'm sure just the time change (2 hours earlier on Vegas time)… Continue reading Some good things + resuming a skincare routine….
Ahhh, the Garth Brooks concert was SO FUN!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤩 I'm so glad I went. I rode with my volleyball friend and her mom (who was super nice and even insisted on paying for my dinner!!). We went out for dinner at Wicked Hop in Milwaukee's Third Ward before the concert, a fun brewery about 3/4… Continue reading Garth Brooks concert recap! 🤠
A quick check-in to say howdy and share a few miscellany: Today's the day, Garth Brooks concert day! I'm excited! I can't remember if I mentioned here that although I bought my ticket to go alone, it turns out a volleyball friend and her mom also had tickets for tonight. So I'm catching a ride… Continue reading Tuesday misc. and GARTH DAY!
Looking back at what I wrote in last Sunday's post, I feel like I can basically say "ditto". As evidenced by my lack of posting, this past week also felt rather hectic. Again, on paper it sort of wasn't, really? So, I don't know. I think it was mostly just that my work days were… Continue reading Sunday Style Scenes #3 + the week in review
May goals review: I already did my big May Recap post, so I already addressed a lot of these. This post is "not necessary" BUT I set a lot of goals for May, so I want to look at them specifically to see how I did. I'm going to use the following key: ✅= complete… Continue reading May goals -> June goals
This past week flew by. I felt a bit scattered, too. It's not like I had an objectively hard week. Actually, on paper it looks like mostly all I did was fun stuff in my free time. For some reason it didn't really feel like that, though? Maybe because work was intense last week. There's… Continue reading Sunday style scenes #2 and the week
May was the least "Mayhem" May I think we've had in years. I guess we are officially past some of that. Or, it's a lull until the next two years when I'll have seniors and I think there's more of a flurry again as senior year wraps up. Never fear, there was still plenty of… Continue reading May 2026 Recap
GRATEFUL KAE
