Aria was about 4 weeks old. I had an appointment to be at that afternoon. Vince was at work. It had taken me like 5 hours to get ready - and I didn't even do my hair! I just threw on a cap. Between getting myself ready, getting Aria ready, getting her fed, and figuring... Continue Reading →
The Virgin Factor
I'm sure God isn't concerned with your virgin status or body count when there are worse things happening in the world. This past weekend I traveled back to my hometown to celebrate my Mamma's birthday. I really don't care to go back there, like ever. While I still have a few people I love there,... Continue Reading →

Shine On
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 →
So Much For That
So yesterday morning sucked. There’s something I’ve been wanting to do so, so bad for a very, very long time. And I got to a point where I was like, “I can do this!

Have some faith in your creatives. You never know what magic they could hold under their sleeve. This is why we’re broke. Occasionally I receive invitations to apply for positions I might be qualified for. Let's get one thing clear, I am back working for education. I'm currently happy with where I'm at. The environment... Continue Reading →
Body Betrayals and Inflation
Like most normal people right now, my little familia is feeling the hit of inflation more than usual. I used to love going grocery shopping. Now it’s kind of painful (each trip is at least $100). The cost of stuff has gone up so much these past few months. We've stopped eating out as much... Continue Reading →

Fabulous
On my way to the breakroom to fill up my water cup, I passed by a coworker waiting for the elevator: Me: Good morning! Him: Good morning! How are you doing today? Me: I'm doing good. How about you? Him: I'm doing fabulous, but not as fabulous as you. You've got the fabulous outfit. You're... Continue Reading →
