Uncomfortable Ending

This past weekend was such an incredible ride in the city of Milwaukee. First of all, we officially opened Fiserv Forum (if you haven’t gotten over the new name by now, please seek help, seriously) with a win by the Milwaukee Bucks. Given that my mom turns 77 this year, it may end up being […]

Uncomfortable Surprise

  I don’t know if you’re a fan of surprises, but for the most part, I’m not. Well, I guess I did like my surprise birthday party when I was 38 (who expects a surprise party on that number?). And, this past Father’s Day I got a killer Munster county Ireland jersey, totally unexpected after […]

Uncomfortable Invasion

Like most “normal” people, I don’t like going to the dentist. I’m not sure if it’s the past painful visits, the thought of a painful visit, or the pain of the bill that’s coming when I’m done. Truth be told, I don’t like going to the doctor either. And for that matter, I don’t like […]

Uncomfortable Planning

The back of my neck is throbbing right now, I can feel my temples tightening, and my shoulders are all knotted up. What’s going on with me right now? I’m doing planning and budgeting for 2019. My clients, whose fiscal and calendar years match, have budgets and plans that are due on November 15th, so […]

Uncomfortable Singleness

One of my dreams as a consultant was to be a keynote speaker. My sister Dawn and I have dreamed of me getting paid to work in Dubai. Although this is but a dream, my brother Bryan just recently took his family and our mom to China as part of a speaking engagement (challenge accepted […]

Uncomfortable Investment

This past weekend, I took Charlie (if you don’t know who Charlie is you can find out here) to the beach for his first sand experience. IT WAS SIMPLY AMAZING. I enjoyed watching him get more comfortable as the waves got close to him and he stopped running away as he did in the beginning. My […]

Uncomfortable Inexperience

I don’t know about anyone else, but I don’t like not knowing things. As a naturally curious person, I tend to learn about whatever is in front of me, even when it shows signs of me aging. For example, last week my brother-in-law, Tom, and I talked about body stiffness, stretching, birds, rainfall totals, death, […]

Uncomfortable Transitions

So, about that first night with objectively (check my facebook posts and specifically the one by my friend Kristen Chang) the cutest puppy on the planet… Oh, now I understand why people’s faces drastically contorted when I told them we were getting a puppy. Is he adorable? Yes. Have we had super fun playing with him already? […]

Uncomfortable Waiting/Aging

By the time you’re reading this (assuming you’re a watch live tv and read this blog immediately when it hits your mailbox kind of person), we are currently on our way to get Charlie Murphy from the breeder. I know someone reading this is thinking we should have gotten a rescue instead of encouraging breeding given the […]
