On my way to the breakroom to fill up my water cup, I passed by a coworker waiting for the elevator: Me: Good morning! Him: Good morning! How are you doing today? Me: I'm doing good. How about you? Him: I'm doing fabulous, but not as fabulous as you. You've got the fabulous outfit. You're... Continue Reading →
Judgy Much?
There are times when I tell people, "You should do this," "You need this in your life," "I did this and my life totally changed." Am I judging? No. Hell, I'm total Hot Mess Express over here. Don't forget that. I don't say things because I think I'm better than a person or I've got... Continue Reading →
Me, Mine, And Ours
Last year right about this time, I was broken. I lost who I thought I was. I lost my muchness. I allowed others to dull my shine because I was looking for validation. I started 2022 just trying to keep my head above the water and it ended up being a year of survival. Seriously,... Continue Reading →
Lessons About Real
Any person who has raised a child will say it: Being a parent is not easy. I'm trying my hardest to raise a child who will know the world is so much bigger than what she sees. Aria is way smarter and observant than I was at her age. She's pretty fearless when it comes... Continue Reading →
That’s A Wrap!
It seems as Miss Aria is getting older, she’s getting busier. Which in turn means Vince and I get busier. We have to block out time to drive her places and of course, the time she will be at whatever activity. This semester has taken a whole new turn for my Little Precious. Her school...

Freakin’ Conformist
On this day 5 years ago, I was fired. It wasn’t pretty and it sucked ass. I wasn't happy there, but I also wasn't giving up. It caught me off guard in the dirtiest way. I did all the things I was "supposed" to do - talked like them, dressed like them, agreed with them,... Continue Reading →
The King and The Queen
This is a repost from my old blog. Just wanted to reshare this because it's one of my favorites and a reminder of the wonderful husband I'm so fortunate to have! We may be totally worthless, but at least we have fun doing it! Once upon a time while I was photographing a wedding, during... Continue Reading →
Going Deaf And Other Fun Stuff
Dude! I think these West Texas winds are spreading some kind of something. Everyone around me is falling apart in some way. One of my coworkers is suffering from sinus stuff. Another one is dealing with the worst seasonal allergies. I have lost hearing in my right ear. Vince has some scratchy throat and head... Continue Reading →
Must Love Torture
So I just signed myself up for a 10-week marketing course because well, I guess I’m just not busy enough. Wish me luck. I’m going to need it. Send alcohol please! I can’t stand my hair or myself today. But I love my shirt!
How It’s Going
Last night on our way to dinner, I told Vince, "Do you know how good it feels to come home and not feel completely stressed?" I explained how just 3 months ago, every day I felt I had to come home and down a beer just to calm the nerves. Every single day I would... Continue Reading →
