The Adventures of a 40-something-year-old With No Clue Or Direction
You know that post that says something of, "You don't know what others are going through. Everyone is fighting their own battle," or whatever preachy nonsense? I just got a dose of that. Yesterday I ran into someone that I met way back when I first moved to West Texas. I hadn't seen her in... Continue Reading →
It’s a busy time of year for us and we've been here before. School gets started, Aria's schedule fills up, Vince starts a new bowling season, putting together Aria's birthday party, all the Fall activities, and in between there I do my best to keep it all going with perfect pitch-black eyeliner. Miss Aria is... Continue Reading →
In a world of so many haters, let me be your cheerleader! Well, the cheerleader that wears all black. And drinks too much. And hangs out with a bunch of misfits. And hates the sun. Cheers to you and all the great things you will become! A much, much younger friend sent this to me... Continue Reading →
With this school year wrapping up, it seems like my little familia is having a lot of stuff going on. There have been changes, endings and new things are coming very quickly. My people. First, one of our longtime friends Daniel, passed away a week ago. His brother David let us know last Sunday that... Continue Reading →
Aria was about 4 weeks old. I had an appointment to be at that afternoon. Vince was at work. It had taken me like 5 hours to get ready - and I didn't even do my hair! I just threw on a cap. Between getting myself ready, getting Aria ready, getting her fed, and figuring... Continue Reading →
I'm sure God isn't concerned with your virgin status or body count when there are worse things happening in the world. This past weekend I traveled back to my hometown to celebrate my Mamma's birthday. I really don't care to go back there, like ever. While I still have a few people I love there,... Continue Reading →
Have some faith in your creatives. You never know what magic they could hold under their sleeve. This is why we’re broke. Occasionally I receive invitations to apply for positions I might be qualified for. Let's get one thing clear, I am back working for education. I'm currently happy with where I'm at. The environment... Continue Reading →
Like most normal people right now, my little familia is feeling the hit of inflation more than usual. I used to love going grocery shopping. Now it’s kind of painful (each trip is at least $100). The cost of stuff has gone up so much these past few months. We've stopped eating out as much... Continue Reading →
You know all those things people say: All in God's timing God's plan is perfect Things happen for a reason What's meant for you, no one can take from you ... and the list goes on. The last 24 hours have definitely shown me all that. It's been a giant revelation of the universe saying,... Continue Reading →
Every Saturday Aria has basketball practice or a game, so that takes up most of our morning. But last Saturday was a very busy day for these Texas Alexanders. Besides our morning basketball routine, Texas Tech Athletics held a kid's sports clinic at their basketball complex. It was held in celebration of National Girls &... Continue Reading →
