The Adventures of a 40-something-year-old With No Clue Or Direction
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 →
A couple of weeks ago, Aria and I got to go watch BTS’s Yet To Come concert that showed in theaters all over. A little back story first. Last year BTS did a similar presentation in theaters, but Aria ended up being on spring break and went out of town at that time. I didn’t... 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 →
This past Tuesday I turned 43 years old, y’all! And it was the BEST DAY EVER! For starters, we got to have a snow day around here. That meant I got to take it easy and hang out with my little familia all day! Aria woke up way too early because she was excited to... Continue Reading →
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.

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 →
I was at my Mom's house. She was sitting on the couch. I was sitting on a bed that was set up right in the middle of the living room. We were chatting about lord knows what. Then we heard someone knocking at the screen of the front door. Since the inside door was open,... Continue Reading →
For the past few years, Vince and his bowling buddies have been traveling to Tulsa, Oklahoma for a big tournament, the Greater Tulsa Open, in which they participate in every December. In 2020, Aria and I got to go for the first time. It was such a fun trip, but I was a little sick.... Continue Reading →
So it recently dawned on me, next year it will be 20 years since I graduated from college. Damn. That's a whole lifetime. Most people graduate from college, become wonderful productive citizens, and lead meaningful lives. And then there's me. Let's see where I'm at: • I have yet to have a job that pays...

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...
