I just got back from a quick extended weekend work assignment on the Pius Fire, a full-suppression wildfire located on the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests.
I’m on my fourth summer (aka: fire season) as a public affairs officer with the Forest Service, and as a red-carded Public Information Officer (PIO) working on wildfires.
I’ve worked on a number of fires now around the state of Arizona, but this was my first ever time getting to fully experience fire camp, which was really cool!
Hello! I’m back today with a continuation of yesterday’s post re: how I ended up with a brand spankin’ new paddle board…
…and how ISLE has the absolute best customer service and is now my go-to for all my paddling needs, as few as they may be.
It took half a bottle of sunscreen, one of Ryan’s hats, a big pair of polarized sunglasses and a long-sleeved sun shirt, BUT zero traces of sunburn following this weekend’s 100-degree paddle boarding adventure at Watson Lake.
I’ve been on a major smoothie kick lately.
Obviously. It’s summer! What’s not to love about an icy cold blend of sweet and tart fruit?
I hope you started singing the TikTok song out loud because it’s been stuck in my head all weekend.
ANYWAY.
I just got back from a quick weekend trip to Chicago, where I had the chance to see some of my best friends, visit some of my old hang outs and relive my 20s.
It’s summer reading season!
I absolutely love making playlists for my yoga classes.
One of the benefits of working at YogaSix is that because the chain has a little bit more of a fitness-feel to it, I can go crazy with fun, upbeat, modern music when I’m planning soundtracks for my classes.
It’s a big day for our little husky.
Ochi went on his first ever inflatable paddle board excursion with me over the weekend!
There’s a trend on TikTok that I’m kind of obsessed with.
(Quick note: When I say “TikTok,” I actually mean “Instagram Reels” — I’m old and don’t have a TikTok so I just wait and see all the trending TikToks a week later when they show up on Instagram, whoops.)
If you haven’t seen it, it’s basically influencers who have never stepped foot in an office giving “workwear advice,” and then different influencers making fun of said previous influencers.
Long days and warm temps are finally here! Hello summer!
