Mets fan #LFGM. Jersey girl forever. Denver burbs by way of Chicago. IT MacGuyver turned tech finance bro. I read - a lot
My boss ran his re-org plan past the acting CTO, GVP of Dev and his boss, and it looks like not only am I getting a promotion, I'm definitely going to be taking on another huge area of responsibility.

Dumbest system ever.

I really don't want to work tomorrow, but especially because I'm walking in to month-end AND year-end close activities.

Everlong is my all-time favorite song. KROQ Acoustic version.
The Billboard Modern Rock tracks from 30 years ago

Apparently there is a place within an hour drive where you can cuddle baby kangaroos? omg?

I think I found my next mommy/daughter day

I don't go back to Chicago for Kickoff 2026 for a little over a week, but I'm already 80% packed.

Getting ahead of the game on everything I can this year.

Looks like we dumped Axonius at the right time
Sources: Cisco is in advanced talks to acquire cybersecurity company Axonius for $2B; Axonius has raised ~$700M and was valued at $2.6B during earlier rounds (Meir Orbach/CTech)

My house is my happy place and I’m one light fixture away from completing my lighting overhaul. Just found the perfect one on Home Depot’s site.

Next up is the laundry closet - trying to preserve the chute but get more functional space back.

Small projects in 2026 only.

I had Brazilian lymphatic massage by a celebrity masseuse today and wow that was intense.

I will be going back but again, wow, intense.

I'm gonna need my neighbor's son to stop coming by with his BRZ.

I'm frigging obsessed with this car and have the money to buy one but I have a Volvo I adore.

But the BRZ is hot.

In and out of Costco in 30 minutes, got everything on my list plus the cheapest gas since I bought my car in 2024.

Productive day so far and I'm just getting started

First book of 2026 and it was a good one.

At least the light fixture I bought to replace the ugly one in the stairwell worked out.

I have one more light fixture to replace before I'm content with the lighting in this house.
I waited 8 months for my husband to put up my fandelier to realize a) I bought the wrong color and b) it's way too small.

That's headed for Goodwill and I'm looking for a new ceiling fan.

Clearing out 2 bags of clothes that either no longer fit or are in bad shape felt great.

My daughter called these cringe but I was tempted

Every time I think I will buy a pied-à-terre in the city, I see the prices and cry.

It's freaking 500k for a 500 sq ft 1br/1ba in Jersey City!

My bff is moving back to the NYC area so I have another reason to visit. So psyched (love her, but I was not willingly going to NoVa)

Happy New Year from the Denver burbs!

We're in a fire ban and the neighbors are shooting off fireworks.

This won't end well

I would like to thank my company stock for tanking in the past 2 days to guarantee an awesome future return on my ESPP shares.
