I’ll say it here for the whole internet to read: I do in fact care what other people think of me. Sometimes maybe a little too much.
People often pause when I tell them my degree.

Since I’m experiencing major FOMO from missing this year’s Rancho Mission Viejo Rodeo, I thought I’d share my rodeo attendance résumé and include my bucket list.
Yesterday I did something so scary and so out of character: I went on camera on my IG stories and talked about Meatless Meat, The Impossible Burger, Beyond Meat et al.
I’m back! An explanation is long overdue, but, we moved, do I get a hall pass?
Did you know that moving is one of the top 5 stressors? I can affirm the truth in that (Matt probably can more so).
