So last night I went to the rock show. Man! And to think I almost didn’t go! Here's the skinny. Months ago, there was a big announcement that Shinedown was coming to town. I like them a lot. I know a lot of their music. I mean, they're a really popular band. What got my... Continue Reading →
Self-care Sunday
This week I hit a glitch at work. Everyone has those moments, right? So this weekend I just chilled at home and took care of myself. I didn’t go anywhere. I gave myself a little reset. Yesterday I took care of a couple of home projects. I felt pretty accomplished and ended the day with... Continue Reading →
Look At This Face
This is the face of a little Mexican girl from a dusty tiny town in Nowhere, USA. This is the face of a girl who had no chance in hell of ever getting out of that black hole. This is the face of a girl who had zero examples of what being more could look... Continue Reading →
Dear Aria…
…I love being your Mommy. ❤️
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 →
That’s That
In need of a haircut. I like how my little grey hair decided to come out front and center. So my Summer II course ended yesterday with me turning in my final at 7pm. When I came back to work from lunch today, I noticed my instructor had graded it. It's always a scary feeling... Continue Reading →
Elizabethtown
It’s 1:26am, July 4, 2025. I’m sitting here 4 beers in, watching Elizabethtown. I’ve always loved this movie. It’s a sweet story. The soundtrack is badass. I’ve seen this movie a good 20 times, if not more. I just realized something. The part where Dora takes Drew upstairs to show him pictures of his family,... Continue Reading →
Dear Agony
Last week right about this time I was in a state of numbness. I had just wrapped up another semester of grad school. One of my cousins had just passed away. My work has been in a constant shift of uncertainty lately. But through it all, I was still looking forward to seeing another of... 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 →
