The Adventures of a 40-something-year-old With No Clue Or Direction
So, how you doing? I've become the worst at posting lately! Sorry. Much like you, life has been busy out here. Miss Aria is kickin' tail in school and all her activities. Mr. Alexander is doing his thing and I'm so fortunate to have him to do life with. Me, I'm still doing grad school.... Continue Reading →
Mr. Alexander is currently injured. A few weeks ago he sprained an ankle. Since he’s out of commission, his yard work has been put on hold. So this morning Aria and I got up early to help him out. I mowed and Aria helped rake, while Vince supervised. When we went out to the alley... Continue Reading →
While you were busy complaining about nonexistent problems this past weekend (Olympics whiners, I'm looking at you!), I was busting my brain cells trying to finish a paper for my summer class. I turned it in last night just an hour and a half before the deadline. This morning I woke up knowing I'm in... Continue Reading →
There’s days when I don’t know why I bother with the things I do. It gets lonely because no one around me has been there. But then I think about all the people that came before me, and how their lives were decided for them. I have the luxury of doing whatever the f*** I... Continue Reading →
Every year on Father’s Day, Vince and I celebrate the anniversary of our very first date. This year was a little different. For starters, on that day he and Aria were traveling back home from visiting our family in New Jersey. Then, we've just had all sorts of stuff going on. So we really didn't... Continue Reading →
The summer just started and I don't have much to look forward to. This year we're not taking an awesome big vacation like we have the past two years. I'm really sad about it. Vince and Aria are in New Jersey as we speak. I considered hopping on a plane and just going with them,... Continue Reading →
I've been known to rave about my perfect, precious child and how amazing she is. Well, Aria is human and not without fault. As the school year is coming to an end, I'm reflecting on things we've learned and how she's growing into her own person. One thing that has been a continuous problem this... Continue Reading →
I’m done! My first grad school class is officially dunzo! A puros madrazos, but I got through it! I know grad school is all I've spoken about lately, but that's all that's taken over my life this year. Was it hard? Hell yes! Do I regret doing it? Not even a little bit! I was... Continue Reading →
Just a quick blog post. I’m exhausted, y’all. It’s been crazy busy around here. Between life, business travel, work, and grad school, I’ve had no chill. And I’m fighting off a weird cold that’s messing with my brain and I don't feel good. But I’m not letting the bad win me over. I’m going out... Continue Reading →
I think about how later this year you would've been turning 16. Yesterday your Daddy bought tickets for himself and your little sister to go visit our family in New Jersey. You'd be old enough to stay with your grandparents for the summer if you'd have liked to. I think about how you probably would've... Continue Reading →
