Life Does Not Suck
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 →

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 →
