life right now [july]

Jul 28, 2026


currently…

enjoying summer break. Recent highlights were a Rockies game and a Rapids game where this tiny purse fan came in really handy (it’s been SO hot here)!

playing with these skip balls at our neighborhood pool. I’ve never figured out how to skip rocks so these have been fun.

reading Sunrise on the Reaping. I re-read The Hunger Games and Catching Fire recently and it’s been fun to hear Haymitch’s story.

listening to The Shampoo Effect on audiobook.

watching the first season of The Americans. I was a big Felicity fan so it’s been fun to see Keri Russell in another role.

eating a few spoonfuls of Jeni’s ice cream after dinner every night. I received 9 pints as a birthday gift and they’ve all been seriously delicious.

taking Anti-Spike as my wellness habit for the month. I’ve had it for a long time but never used it consistently.

feeling proud of my commitment to strength training. In previous summers I’ve failed to carve out time for it while the kids are home for the summer. Still loving the CGX app.

shopping for school supplies. Both kids will be at the same (middle) school this year!

working on a new free training that’ll be available soon! The one I have right now is still solid but since it’s almost 3 years old I thought it was time for something fresh.
