This week has been truly perfect. Much needed after last week’s sh!t storm of crazy. Friday couldn’t have been a more amazing end to the week either. Kyle has Fridays off, so we both got to sleep in. Brilliant start already. Then we found out his waffle company made it to the finals – open to the public (on May 26th) if you want to attend. Winner gets investors and money and a bunch of press, so this is HUGE. While Kyle had a quick conference call I went on a short run (showered); and… Read more >

and a hard place the golden arches. That’s where I was stuck this past weekend. It started Friday morning, before setting off on our road trip to Palo Alto. Kyle and I offered to pick up breakfast for our driving companion, but he didn’t get the text in time. As a result, we were happily fed and Starbuck’s-ed before the drive began, while our friend was in need of breakfast.
