I don’t talk about my dad much. There’s not a lot to say. My parent’s relationship with each other was never easy to say the least. When they were together, they were toxic AS FUCK. Even when my dad wasn’t around, the damage caused was unforgiving. As I grew up, I learned the severity of... Continue Reading →
Saturday Coffee Shop Dates
Over the summer, I got to missing my coffee shop study sessions. The whole time I was in grad school, getting to study while having some yummies was such a big motivator for me. So when Aria came home, I asked her if she’d like to have some Saturday morning coffee shop dates with me.... Continue Reading →
Life Lately – Summer ‘26
I really need to get back in the habit of writing again. So much stuff has happened in the first half of the year. Seriously, my life has completely changed! So let’s do a little catching up. As you know, I graduated with my Master's degree in mid-May this year. What I haven't mentioned is... Continue Reading →
My Apologies Please
Wow! My little blog has been abandoned since September! Please accept my apologies. Last semester was crazy busy in all things work, school, and life. I start school again this week, and it’s looking like I will be just as swamped as last year. The only difference this time is that it will be the... Continue Reading →
Numbers and BIG Things
Me trying to get over the dreaded fatigue, and Aria just being cute. A few weeks ago, I told you about my Mounjaro journey. Well, today I took my 52nd shot. I've been on this medicine for one year! It's been quite the roller coaster. On the downside, I've lost SOOOOO much hair. Then I've... Continue Reading →
Find Me At The Rock Show
Sorry! I've been absent for 2 months from around here! Totally not intentional. The Alexanders have way too much going on lately. Lots of things are not going well at our house. It seems like when one thing finally goes right, ten other things go wrong. We're not backing down, but it just sucks. Taking... Continue Reading →
Dear Daughters
I will always fight to get you there. Dear Daughters of Generation Alpha and beyond: I’ve taken a few days to try to figure out what this feeling is. After some careful thought, I pinpointed it. It’s not anger, fear, rage, or jealousy. It’s sadness. I’m sad because everything that was built for you is... Continue Reading →
Friday Evening Gratitude
My brain is fried, y’all! Had a crazy busy week at work. I just finished the second part of my homework that’s due by midnight. I’ll finish the third part tomorrow. Thankfully it’s not due until Tuesday. This part will include some design stuff, so I’m really excited about it! I’m tired, but honestly I... Continue Reading →
My Little Scientist
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 →
Finishing Soft
Yesterday I started this huge blog to catch you up on all the reasons I’ve been M.I.A. from my little blog. Then my photos weren’t uploading correctly and I got frustrated, so I just put it away. Today I remembered a graphic a friend posted that totally spoke to me: Before Christmas, I had decided... Continue Reading →
