The Adventures of a 40-something-year-old With No Clue Or Direction
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 →
Soooo, last week was my 45th birthday. I'm 45, ya'll!!! I used to swear up and down that if I Iived to see this age, I would throw myself a quinceañera x 3. But of course that didn't happen. With all the stuff I have going on right now, there's no way I could've done... Continue Reading →
So, how you doing? I've become the worst at posting lately! Sorry. Much like you, life has been busy out here. Miss Aria is kickin' tail in school and all her activities. Mr. Alexander is doing his thing and I'm so fortunate to have him to do life with. Me, I'm still doing grad school.... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 →
I think about how later this year you would've been turning 16. Yesterday your Daddy bought tickets for himself and your little sister to go visit our family in New Jersey. You'd be old enough to stay with your grandparents for the summer if you'd have liked to. I think about how you probably would've... Continue Reading →
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 →
You know that post that says something of, "You don't know what others are going through. Everyone is fighting their own battle," or whatever preachy nonsense? I just got a dose of that. Yesterday I ran into someone that I met way back when I first moved to West Texas. I hadn't seen her in... Continue Reading →
It’s a busy time of year for us and we've been here before. School gets started, Aria's schedule fills up, Vince starts a new bowling season, putting together Aria's birthday party, all the Fall activities, and in between there I do my best to keep it all going with perfect pitch-black eyeliner. Miss Aria is... Continue Reading →
The summer has officially come to an end. What I thought would be a quiet summer turned out to be a few weeks of reconnection and it was really nice. Second day of school selfie. I reconnected with people that it’s not that we lost touch, but we’ve just been busy with life. We're all... Continue Reading →
