The Adventures of a 40-something-year-old With No Clue Or Direction
Ever since I got my first apartment, I’ve made it a point to always have a candle lit somewhere in the house. At first it was for the scent because candles can fill any room with a great aroma. Also, sitting in the dark with only a candle going is so calming. Even the smallest... 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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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...
