Seals attacked our boat today!! 😱

Two men, one being my husband, another being his friend, in full black wet suits, opening the door to our cabin on our boat, one is making a scary face. The joke is they look like seals.

Just read a newsletter that says ux designers often confuse focus groups with usability studies. Never have confused these, how is this even possible? I hate that we often call usability studies user testing. We're not testing the user, we're testing the product. Feel free to discuss 😎

"'Oh you fucked up your career' but they're talking about the career they had in mind for me. I fucked up the house in Antigua that the record company dudes wanted to buy. I fucked up *their* career, not mine"

Excerpt from an article: "She's probably still most famous for ripping up the picture of John Paul II. Has that defined her career? "Yes, in a beautiful fucking way. There was no doubt about who this bitch is. There was no more mistaking this woman for a pop star. But it was not derailing; people say, 'Oh, you fucked up your career' but they're talking about the career they had in mind for me. I fucked up the house in Antigua that the record company dudes wanted to buy. I fucked up their career, not mine. It meant I had to make my living playing live, and I am born for live performance."

Love the drone display fireworks! 🎇 Far better than the air polluting, stress inducing ones that cause wildfires. Yep, I said it. 😏

I ran into pirates last weekend in Seattle.

A pirate ship you can rent, this ship was full of civilians dressed as pirates and boat captains

Friend sent me this pic, might need to order. 🌽 It's got the juice, y'all.

Guess who made refried beans again?? 🙋🏻‍♀️ Is it Hispanic American Heritage month yet? No, not until September? I'm always ahead of the curve. 🫘

One time I apologized for my typo by saying "sorry about that type-o"

ME: A group of seagulls is actually called a colony of seagulls, not a flock of seagulls as we were led to believe DATE: Sure but why are they in your kitchen?

Who else is back to the grind on Sunday, but really prefers some time on the couch with doggo? 🙋🏻‍♀️

Nothing like having a 1:1 and the person doesn't show for 20 minutes. 😮‍💨

I am Mexican. Although Cinco de mayo is not a real Mexican holiday (and no, you shouldn't wear a poncho and a sombrero, y'all), I'm taking my scratch refried beans to my friends house and we gonna indulge like crazy. If I was born and didn't know my nationality, I'd still know. Cause beans.

I was a badass girl scout (and Brownie too). Just reminded of those years earlier in a conversation today. I even had a star on the back of my swimcap. 🫡

When we were on vacay, we missed our dog terribly. Our dog sitter sent us this pic and it made everything ok. 💖

Have workout clothes on. Ready. But instead, the couch and a cup of tea are calling my name. Resist! 🫣

I was on PTO and missed an opportunity to lead a design thinking WS. 😔 I was in Palm Springs, enjoying that 107 degree weather (it's welcome to this Seattleite!). I regret nothing.
