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 →
Hot Mess Express
On Sunday evening, I turned in my final presentation for my Research Methods class. The project was much more difficult than I expected. There were three parts to turn in for the project. I didn't do too good on the first two parts. The third part consisted of the final part of the project, a... Continue Reading →
That’s It, I’m Stressed
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 →
Hold My Beer
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 →
20 Years
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 →
Summer Bummer
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 →
The Problem This Year
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 →
1 Down, 9 To Go
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 →
Jobs Are Like Boys
For years I've been saying, "Jobs are like boyfriends" - If you're not happy with the one you've got, dump his ass. Hence, why I've never stayed at a job more than 5 years. Anyways, I'm not sure exactly what's going on, but the past few months I've been getting all sorts of people asking... Continue Reading →
God Is A Designer
If God gave someone the brain to create this awesomeness, why can't I unblock my brain too? Much like every creative to ever exist, I'm suffering from a mad brain block. I'll start a project, get stuck, and just leave it. I leave the project where I can come across it every day to remind... Continue Reading →
