I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm ambitiously pursuing court reporting and am a professional student for now. I work for my family's court reporting firm, and we have a blast together. I just became a mommy to Madeleine (Mady) Claire Ward. She is beautiful and healthy and looks just like her daddy (for now), and I couldn't ask for more. Life is crazy busy, but in a good way right now.

Alicia and the Fat Girl Boogaloo

So, yesterday I found myself in a familiar setting, a place that has become the symbol of my lifelong battle with the donut...Lane Bryant.  Now, for those of you who are able to frequent the like...

Goodbye, Dallas

It's raining and won't stop until I'm long gone.  Seems fitting to leave this city with the cloud over my head that hasn't left me since I moved here.  Some people may say I'm running, that ...

Chronically Happy

Lately, the stars must be aligned because life has been damn good to me in the past month.  It's moments like these that I have to tell myself not to wait for the bottom to fall out and just to e...

Best. Weekend. Ever.

This weekend took the cake.  I almost got sucked up into a tornado on the way out to Lubbock, but my unwavering determination paid off.  Also, I once again took too much No-Doz to stay awake...
