The Adventures of a 40-something-year-old With No Clue Or Direction
With this school year wrapping up, it seems like my little familia is having a lot of stuff going on. There have been changes, endings and new things are coming very quickly. My people. First, one of our longtime friends Daniel, passed away a week ago. His brother David let us know last Sunday that... Continue Reading →
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 →
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...

Today marks 11 years of marriage for me and my mister. Every day is everything because I have him in my life. I’m truly fortunate to do life with Mr. Alexander. He’s my person. Annual Anniversary selfie! Taquitos, Mr. Alexander!
Last year, a photography student asked me if my family would model for one of her assignments? At first I was like, "No! I hate the way I look!"

Another one is dealing with the worst seasonal allergies. I have lost hearing in my right ear. Vince has some scratchy throat and head... Continue Reading →
There are days she seems so grown up. She has moments when it’s all about BTS, gangsta rap, and everything she wants to be someday. There are days when she is smarter than me. Then there are days like today, when I’m reminded she’s so little. She has so much life to live and things... Continue Reading →
Most days I have no clue or direction. But for now, I helped Aria with her homework, did her nightly reading, and got her in bed on time. Now I’ve got to get our clothes ready for tomorrow, finish my daily reading goal (I’m trying to get back into reading regularly like I used to!),... Continue Reading →
On Saturday, Aria and I went to South Plains Lanes to cheer on Mr. Alexander at a bowling tournament he was invited to participate in. South Plains Lanes is one of three of our local bowling alleys. Honestly, up until this weekend, I hadn't been there in years. Vince usually bowls at Whitewood Lanes, and... Continue Reading →
