Cheers to the Weekend, [FIRST NAME GOES HERE]!


Reading Time: 17 seconds

Happy Friday!

I don't know about you, Reader, but I can practically taste the weekend—even if I'll be spending it in the same spot I've occupied for a week.

The ice is still hanging on with impressive determination, but you know what? So am I!!

I decided that no matter what happens, my response is gonna be: "That's awesome!"

  • Mrs. Claus made a meatloaf, but the oven doesn't work? That's awesome! (Byron threw it on the grill--it was delish!)
  • The insurance won't get the tree removed and a tarp over the roof on their house--so they'll be living here (with their 5 cats) for a couple more weeks? That's awesome! (She cooks dinner every night--winning!)
  • I missed a major event because I couldn't get down the driveway? That's awesome! (I'm still working this one through in my head.)

This week has been a masterclass in staying positive and making the most of what happens, in real time. It's fine. Everything's fine. 🤣

Whatever your weekend holds for you, I hope it's restful, rejuvenating, and involves something delicious.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Reading Time: 23 still very chilly seconds You might think by Day 6 of being iced in, I'd be climbing the walls or reorganizing my spice cabinet for the fourth time. Or drinking that peach moonshine one of our neighbors gifted us a few months ago. But no (at least not yet, 😉)—I'm still locked in on my intended outcomes. Some of you know I used to say I had a t-shirt that said, "I'm sorry I'm late, I didn't want to come." Then my brother got me one for Christmas. I may or may not be wearing it...

Reading Time: 13 very chilly seconds The good news: we have power. The bad news: stepping outside still feels like auditioning for a role in Frozen. (Let it go, let it gooooooo.) Today, my mission is simple—stay focused. While the world outside looks like a snow globe someone has been shaking a little too enthusiastically, I've got a hot cup of coffee and a to-do list that frankly does not care (even a little bit) about the weather conditions. If you're also iced in, I see you! And, I hope...

Reading Time: 33 seconds It turns out 11 degrees does feel significantly colder than 33 degrees--who knew? That's how cold it was when I took the dogs out yesterday morning. And believe you me, I was bundled up like Nanuk of the North--all the layers, hat, lined boots, etc. While some of my friends just loooooove the cold (you know who you are), I prefer temps in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Since you're building an empire and I am too, I thought I'd share what got me moving (besides the dogs) and...
