  • Welcome to New York

    We are back from New York City! We spend 8 nights there and had the best time, so much fun, and still so much more to do and see. Next time, I told Christopher that we should stay in a different area. We stayed at the same hotels as our previous two trips. I feel…

    Christopher and I celebrated our 4 year wedding anniversary this week and we took Hanky to the Pacific Rim for a few nights. We booked massages at the Willow Stream Spa inside the hotel and had dinner on Thursday at the Botanist which is where we had our last dinner the night before we got…

    We returned from Las Vegas last night. Everything about this trip was easy. Both airports, both flights, check-in, food, drinks – the whole thing was amazing. Our view wasn’t as great since we were on a lower floor – floor 30 so we couldn’t see the Sphere; however, the Bellagio fountains were still in view…

    Hanky and I are watching the tennis finals at Roland Garros – the men are on right now – Sinner vs Alcaraz. We watched the women yesterday – Sabalenka and Gauff. That was a great match, Coco was so calm and focused and did such a great job to get the win and come back…

    Happy Mother’s Day. I called my mom today, she’s such an amazing woman. She’s resilient, strong, kind, caring, loving, funny. She chooses to see positivity amidst chaos that she’s been through. I’m happy she’s my mom. I’m grateful for the things she has shared with me about her life. I love you, mom. Dear Pedro,…

    I’ve been thinking about typing all day and delaying so it’s 9:45pm and I’m finally opening the computer. Christopher and I watched game 7 between Colorado and Dallas (Dallas won – big third period comeback) and we made nachos and wings together. Hanky is resting with me, after his night walk he comes and lays…

  • Thirteenth Thoughts – 04.20.2025

    It’s Vegas! I took my two friends to the Cosmo for three nights under my rewards for a free room so we only had to pay airfare. A third friend met us on the Saturday; she and I spent an extra night together and left together on Monday while these two left on Sunday. It…

  • Hanky’s First Adventure

    Testing out the creation of a new page and having Hanky’s blog separate from the regular blogging page. I created new categories and I hope this works! I updated the reading area so it’s not defaulted to the blogging page but says none so I’m not sure where this is going to end up. Maybe…

  • 02.02.2025 – Twelfth Thoughts

    I’ve had quite a week, quite a month, emotions fluctuate but I’ve been able to keep them high and regain positivity quickly after a set back or moment of insecurity. I’ve been struggling with motivation. Speaking to friends who also went through the layoff, we have similar feelings, all of us. It’s like this blanket…

  • I had written a previous post but must not have published it.. hmm.. those thoughts are gone now! It’s Festivus today! If you don’t know, you should. Seinfeld is my all time favorite show, it’s still relevant today and it’s a festivus for the rest of us where we get to air our grievances for…
