I Deserved a Lemon Drop

June 28, 2010 by Hillary 9 Comments

Howdy ho there! Happy Final Monday of June! Actually, I’m pretty bummed June is coming to a close, as it’s truly one of my favorite months of the year.

Anyway… I obviously survived The Big Day as you are aware of from reading this post or my million-a-day tweets. Yes, I catered a wedding reception for 200 people and… there were NO catastrophes. I can’t take all the credit, however, as I certainly could not have pulled it off without my savior of an aunt – thank you! I figured at least one embarrassing thing would have happened – a huge spill, a broken dish, flames… something – but, fortunately, I left at the end of the night feeling accomplished, exhausted from being on my feet for seven straight hours, and ready for a drink!

I rushed home, changed out of my soiled black and white, and met up with Miss Courtney for a drink at The Pearl, the one and only modern chic bar in town. I enjoyed a delicious lemon drop – mmm. Anything tastes better with a sugared rim : )

Then we have yesterday… I was pretty much useless. It was an “a lot of nothing” day. I did enjoy a tasty dinner of enchiladas – eggplant & almond! – and a pretty pile of ensalada for dinner. Thanks, Mom.

I don’t know if I’ve mentioned before, but my mom is the Queen of Cookies… as in she’s incapable baking a bad batch.

Oatmeal [White & Dark] Chocolate Chip + Coconut, Dried Apricots and Walnuts

The movie we watched afterwards – Remember Me with Robert Pattinson – was the opposite of our summery dinner. It was extremely dark – literally and figuratively. I’m banned from renting the next movie ; )

Oh, in case you were wondering, no exercising occurred this weekend [unless you count seven hours of catering]. So, I started the week on the right [left?] foot with a mini 37-minute run with Courtney. When I am going to get myself to start strength training again?

Gotta go figure out a dinner menu for tomorrow night’s meal with the aunts and uncles. Cooking for six seems like breeze after cooking for 200.

Hope ya’ll are off to a great week! I’ve gotta GIVEAWAY coming your way…

Hillary

    I’m glad it went well! You definitely earned your Lemon Drop. (That sounds really tasty, actually. I love anything lemon flavored.)

    Your mom looks like an amazing cook! Those cookies…wow. I’m drooling a bit here. :D

    “Remember Me” was NOT AT ALL what I was expecting – but I loved it!

- moved clear across the country to a new state for the second time
- hopped from one AirBNB to the next for 6 weeks while looking for a house to call home
- made new friends, virtually & IRL
- binge watched more TV shows than I can recall
- leveled up as an entrepreneur: hitting milestones with my virtual assistant and @beautycounter businesses
- voted for a new president 
- ascended new trails and explored alpine lakes of the Pacific Northwest 
- adapted: to Zoom holidays, takeout, and masked faces becoming the (temporary) norm

This challenging year was all about appreciating the little things while living through some really BIG things. 2020 had more than a few lessons to teach us all. Through a pandemic, pivotal change in presidency, and loud cry for human rights, I see very clearly how privileged I am. It was the year to let go of plans and lean in to a new perspective. 

After all, hindsight is ②⓪②⓪.

Best thing about 2020... for me, it’s been relationships - virtual and IRL.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
One of the goals that I set for 2020 was to make one new local friend in Seattle (seriously something I wrote down as I began the new year moving across the country). While I’m happy to say that I did so (during a pandemic), I feel fortunate for the virtual friendships that developed, too.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I’ve gotta take a second to give a shoutout to my newest soul sista @weeksofwonder. You helped me get after it during my second year of entrepreneurship with a hefty dose of #2020 mayhem. 🙏🏼⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Wendy and I met here on IG, and what started as a business relationship and accountability partner has turned into a special bond that transcends any walkie-talkie or social media app. This creative spirit has not only inspired me to get after it and dream bigger as an entrepreneur, but in the same way has encouraged me to honor rest and play: whether it’s giving each other kudos on Strava for tackling a run, building badass business plans and packages, or simply holding space to share the wins and the many woes, personally and professionally, of a memorable year. Having Wendy in my corner has led to some serious momentum and a sense of consistent community.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
2020 has been a shit show, but it delivered GRL PWR 👊🏻⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We want to hear from YOU: Who has been your supportive soul sister through the ups and downs of 2020? ⁣⁣
