“I don’t know if Boulder is for me.” A friend and I were on a bike ride on Sunday morning to enjoy some miles in the sunshine before we get more snow this week, but, more importantly, to get coffee. He moved here around the same time I did almost two years ago, and we …
A Friday Morning Coffee Ride & Thoughts On Friendship
Last week our office was closed for Good Friday. This new agency I’m at usually shuts down on Fridays and/or Mondays before and after holiday weekends, so a short week and a long weekend felt like such a treat. Earlier in the week I made bike + coffee plans with a friend in Boulder for …

My First Week Back In Advertising: 5 AM Runs, Spilled Coffee, Desk Lunches
This past week was a big one for me. I started my new job and re-joined the advertising world full-time as a copywriter. It's been a huge life change for me, and this about sums up week one... To give you an idea, and help me remember, I decided to document my first five days. It's …

It’s Just A Season: More Snow, A New Job
Well, we woke up to more snow this morning. I watch the weather. I knew it was coming. But, honestly, I’m sick for those sunshiney mid-60s days where the sun dances into the sky at 6 a.m. and doesn’t set for the night until after 7 p.m. My legs are antsy. My skin is a …
My Word For 2018
So, typically, we pick out a word or phrase at the beginning of each year to guide our thoughts and actions, helping us achieve certain goals or live a certain way. It’s our theme for the year. It’s an anchor; a north star. But, come January 1, 2018, I didn’t have one. I was just …
Visiting Tampa For The First Time in Over A Year: it got emotional
I got to spend Christmas in Orlando. Last year I joked with my family that all I wanted for Christmas was a tan because, after living in Tampa for eight years, I wasn't used to slowly fading from sun-kissed to sickly in the wintertime. Colorado's winters are sunny, but we're all still bundled up pretty …

Off Weekend: Running, Hiking, Ordering Takeout
I didn’t race this past weekend. Not because I’m over it and not because I’ve lost the fire, but because I just needed a break. My race typically lasts just 40-48 minutes, which might not sound long, but if you’ve ever started and finished a cyclocross race, you know it can feel like a firey …

Let It Be Enough. And Other Things I Thought At My Desk
Sometimes my mind wanders...here's where it went this afternoon: (1) One of my friends ran a marathon this weekend. An Internet friend. We’ve never met, but I know she’s the shit. She posted about it all over social media, and I loved following it. I was really excited for her because she was really excited …

You Have To Put Yourself In A Hard Place
I've written and re-written this like seven times because I couldn't get it just right but here we are this is the best I can do just roll with it like this obnoxious run on sentence ok thanks bai. Right now, I make probably a little more than half of what I made in Florida. …
Lindsay, how ya doing?
Every time someone asks me "how are ya," I say what everyone else says whether it's true or not, "Pretty good. How about you?" I could've stepped in dog doody on the way to work and I would've still said "good." Knee jerk, ya know? But I dug into it the other day. I feel …
