Happy to have a fun and free weekend between SFP and APPAM. Laptop might stay shut this weekend. ☺️

Feeling a little sad that the glow from the haldi (turmeric) and the mehndi (henna) are fading. But feeling very happy that I get to enjoy a lil more free time with my HUSBAND now that our whirlwind of a wedding week is complete ✅

Yes, I believe third spaces for teens should exist and thrive. But I would also very much like to attend this and am bummed I cannot. 😭😭

First year of (hopefully) many hosting the fam for Christmas in California. We may need to rely on fake snow out here, but at least my family is much more holly, jolly, and well-behaved in the presence of the fiancé and the in-laws 🥰

It’s actually really fun to be at a conference on your birthday. @appam.bsky.social for the first time and made sure to fit in an east coast treat before an afternoon of econometrics
