When someone says they have a quick question for you it is never going to be an easy response. Ever.

I am so productive on the Amtrak I might start riding it around just to work.

Sadly, summer as a working parent just sucks a lot of the time 😔

If anything, I am glad that the World Cup is bringing attention to the outrageous cost for kids to play competitive soccer in the US.

I have lived in Virginia for 14 years and this is the hottest it has ever felt 😫🥵

I’ve been watching a lot of World Cup games and there are just huge discrepancies with how fouls are being called in the box. Also the US red card tonight was just total rubbish when I’ve been watched at least 7 games and seen wayyyyyyy worse and barely any even yellow cards.

It doesn’t matter what city or town I’m at…the YMCA is a place I have always felt safe, comfortable, and like I fit in no matter what. 💜💜

It is officially summer because I grilled burgers today 🍔

I guess it is just going to rain for the rest of time in Virginia 🌧️

It’s Gemini season! ♊️

Whole wheat, olive oil, blueberry muffins 😃

I got up this morning at 5am to prep for a meeting and then broke my coffee pot and had no caffeine. Then Bluesky wasn’t working so I couldn’t complain to anyone about it.

Apparently I am forever very bitter that I never got to compete in the Olympics. 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

I’ve said it before but my boring soccer mom RAV 4 sport is an absolute beast in the snow. 🎿 🚙

Not judging but by looking at people’s carts in Wegmans many plan to drink themselves through the snow storm ten fold 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

This week I started burning scented candles at my desk to soothe myself during the work day. I definitely recommend it! A small thing makes a big difference.

I don’t really meal prep but I do cook basic fresh-ish stuff and eat leftovers. Doing this seems to create an ungodly amount of dishes, so if I’m not running the dishwasher once a day then I’m probably NOT eating healthy.

Happy New Year’s Eve! Wishing everyone a happy 2026. I will be actively searching for mine 🙂

There really is so much beauty in Virginia.

I really wasn’t in the mood to receive this type of update on my iPhone atm.

I really need to start asking how much people REALLY want to know about the youth soccer landscape in the US before answering simple questions like “so what’s travel soccer like?” with a 20 min breakdown🤣

HBO has made many shows that are so emotionally disturbing to me yet so good I can’t help but finish watching… GoT, Sopranos, and Euphoria for example.

Having a 5th grader has brought back a lot of memories for me and while I didn’t have Taylor Swift to teach me about life, I did have Alanis Morissette… and Sublime😆

Worst thing about hotel rooms is the overly fluffy pillows. Firm bedding pleaaaaaase!

I am really bad at monitoring Teams chats while also presenting yet people seem to regularly expect this skill.

Tf when your clocks that have been wrong since spring go back to being right… 😜

I have found a great method for keeping my white kitchen floor tile clean. First you vacuum, then you mop, then you vacuum again, then you mop again, and then you just keep repeating those steps over and over for the rest of time. 🧽

Peak foliage in Shenandoah this weekend 🍁

Let’s go Spirit!! ⚽️

An 80 year old woman just completed an Ironman and this is what I mean when I say I’m not going to get old. I refuse.

Nothing scares me more than when my 10 year old is pushing the shopping cart behind me…. Especially when I am wearing flip flops. 😱

How do you bring AI agents to your organization? @aprildunnam.bsky.social talks Copilot Studio on RunAs Radio at runasradio.com/Shows/Show/994 - the low-code way to make agents!

Being a Virginia soccer mom means you notice how nice and cool it is when it’s 85 degrees and cloudy for game day. ☀️ ⚽️

Cereal tastes better for dinner than breakfast 🥣

All I gots to say is if you invite me to a kids bday party you better have enough cake for the adults!! 🍰 🤣

Do people actually use koozies when they drink a can of something?

I know many will cringe at this, but I really want to try the Lil Caesars stuffed pretzel crust pizza 🍕 😀

My Aperol spritzes are just so darn photogenic 😍

If I ever die while overseas it most likely will be while trying to maneuver the tub/shower situation. 😆

I try to be a positive person but my cup is definitely half empty when it comes to traffic. I just assume it is going to take me an hour and 20 min to get into DC when it could take 45 min. 🚘

I guess bread and butter isn’t an acceptable answer when people ask me my favorite food. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Really happy for all the people in my life having babies, getting married, and moving to new cities. Meanwhile I’m back on the advanced Muay Thai fight team with my trainers from 13 years ago and just planning to train for 8 more years til the kid goes to college and I can have my comeback fight🤣 🥊

Between the fairlifes and these shamrocks, protein shakes are starting to taste dangerously good 😀💪🏼

No I don’t want to rest, no I don’t want to relax. I just want to do stuff. Preferably fun stuff.

I don’t keep count but estimate that for every 1 good idea I have, I’ve had 10 bad ones 😆

Sad I cannot make it this year. It is such a wonderful event 🙂

I had fun on a very very much needed little vacay😎
