And if I could just say something…

Here’s what I got up to this week :)

Don’t forget to follow along on Instagram.

We Got a Wii! 🎮

I’ve looooved video games my whole life. I’ve got a GameBoy Advance, 1st Gen DS, a Switch, and now with Ryder we’ve gotten an Xbox S and a Wii. We’ve both been wanting one so we went and found a used one at Level 7, a Denver video game chain. We got it for like $90, and the games are like $5 each now lol. Our starting stack included Night at the Museum, Wii Play, Iron Chef America, a Ferrari racing game and Zelda. Working our way through each game, some of these graphics are rough! Wow you can tell this is an older gaming system. It’s fun but definitely a window into the advancement of tech and video games. It’s been a dang lot of fun though! Xbox-wise we’re playing Cyberpunk and I freakin love that game.

USA Hockey 🏒

You want a piece of my mind, you got it. Shameful! Not mad, but disappointed. Jk I’m mad and disappointed! “Don’t make it such a big deal” brother you have to realize we’ve (women) been taking it on the chin for the last few hundred years. You forget! How often! We are laughed at! Put down! And unfortunately this is more than just something “blown out of proportion”. Your actions matter and their actions hurt my fucking feelings. I don’t truly have enough words for the anger I’ve got brewing but it’s beyond infuriating to even have people questioning your worth at a biological level. Get lost in the woods if you fuck with this kind of misogynistic patriarchal shit. It hurts me how I can sit here and think that people literally think I’m less than because I’m a woman 😆losers

Tyra Documentary 🤨

Oh my good lord. This doc was actually really insanely intense. It was shocking. Appalling. I watched America’s Next Top Model growing up, I remember vividly, and I loved it. Those were it girls. But I don’t remember this all behind the scenes. I remember thinking I’d need to be a size 2 or under forever. It absolutely influenced my body image and how I ate. That alongside common phrases, common commercials, common diet foods, were really prominent for so many girls and women. This documentary is SCATHING. Tyra Banks is evil. I cannot even explain to you how disgusted I am of someone who’s been able to do what she’s done and go on national television to act as disingenuous as anyone ever has. Seriously horrendous. It’s on Netflix.

Skatepark Hangs 🛹

We went to the skatepark with Abbie and Alex and Winnie! It’s been so warm here in Denver (scary as heck!) but we’re taking advantage. Ryder and Alex spent time hitting a line into a 180, and there were some kids there getting super inspired by them. Abbie and Winnie and I sunbathed and gossiped and watched our boys. We went up to the Commerce City skate park and it’s great, lots of space, so many activities. Maybe I’ll learn to skate this summer.

Game Night in FC 🎲

We went to a game night last Friday and had soooo much fun. My friend Johnna who paints my hair (also from Fargo) hosted, and we all had the best time. Yummy charcoot on the side was amazing. She always has the best playlists, too. Her husband and my fiance really hit it off, we hit it off with everyone there, and there were a couple friends in from Fargo as well! Such a good time playing Super Fight and Things and Rings, we had to leave before CodeNames because they live in Fort Collins and it’s about an hour home and my bedtime is 9 and it was 10:15.

I Started Summer House Over 🏖️

My friend Brigit said she’d never watched all of Summer House and so you know I had to suggest a rewatch. Usually I watch from Season 3 when Paige Desorbe and Hannah Berner come on, but this time around I’m starting from the beginning. O M G baby Carl! Baby Kyle! Baby Lindsay! Baby Amanda! I can’t believe playboy Carl. And the issues with Kyle and Amanda ALREADY. The twins are so funny but Lauren is insane with Carl, it’s been 2 weeks. It’s crazy to see Everett. I am livinggggg. It’s kind of my comfort show. Watch on Peacock.

The Traitors Finale: Soon 🎭

I’m writing this as I’m finishing the last episode. Wow this season has been incredible. I won’t do spoilers this week because I was behind and I will let everyone catch up, but holy finale! I’m going to watch the reunion today as well. Catch up next week. Watch on Peacock.

Birth control 👎🏼

I’m adding this for the people on birth control! I’m on birth control and this month the brand of the one I was given was switched. While the active ingredients remain the same, something about the different additives or time release with the new brand is ruining my life. The first morning I woke up throwing up. I was nauseous with a headache for a week. I’ve been more irritable than I ever have been. I’ve been more tired than usual. I’m breaking out!!!! Truly truly this change made such a big difference in how I feel and I hate it. I will be going to the pharmacy to see if I can get my usual brand because I can’t actually live like this.

Ruby Hill ⛷️

We went out to Ruby Hill to ski a bit for the first time since my ribs cracked! I hit some boxes and am extremely pleased to see that I can still ski. I was able to slide and 180 on a flat box, so not feeling like I lost a lot of skill in the 3 weeks I had to recover. It was nerve-wracking at first but I had to get back out there. I can’t tell you how much this place rocks. It’s all built by volunteers and they care so much. This hill brings people together, lets them learn for free, and truly provides a community service we need. Thank you to Ruby Hill and everyone that makes it possible to have such an incredible terrain park area in Denver.

Daily Routines ☕

I use Tea Lady cycle syncing powders every single day. I’ve ordered my next set of the 4 since I’m low, and this time I threw in the bath mix for fun. I love Katie who runs Tea Lady, she’s an inspiration, a joy, just a really cool woman doing really cool things. I love that she makes things to make women more powerful, to give us power and energy back to be able to be present and fight back and be creative and do the thing. I love to add the powder into my morning coffee along with my favorite chocolate protein powders <3  https://www.tealadybk.com
