The Ten Year Challenge

So. Curiosity killed the cat and I did a little “10 year challenge” (or whatever it’s called that all the cool kids are posting) justttt to see what 2012 Alicia evolved into….. And. Ummm. What happened from there was grossly unexpected.  Before we get too deep into this, let me clearly disclaim a couple ofContinue reading “The Ten Year Challenge”

I cried at dinner tonight

I cried a little at dinner alone tonight….
And declined meeting new friends (I’m just as shocked as you are)

Selfie Sessions

Why do you take so many pics of yourself, Alicia? Isn’t that a sign of narcissism? Are you just looking for likes? Nope. Let me explain (with hopefully not a lot of words) Because. I. Want. To. 😝jkjk but, besides that…. Too many days are now spent in jammies or yoga pants, lacking human interactionContinue reading “Selfie Sessions”

Let Freedom Ring….or wear a 2piece

Two years ago I wrote a blog post with a plethora of bikini pictures (not trying to be a Kardashian, I was just feeling myself)…and it was one of the scariest things I have ever done.  But I don’t regret it.  Putting myself out here is still hard because, let’s be real, haters gonna hate!   But now IContinue reading “Let Freedom Ring….or wear a 2piece”

Change is in the air…..

Whew, this one turned out to be longer than intended.  It’s worth it (or I think it is), to hang in there…….take a bathroom break, do some stretches…..whatever you need to, but hang in there with me! 🙂 I really want to avoid the word “resolution” or any variation of “New Year’s resolution”.  I knowContinue reading “Change is in the air…..”

Sometimes you wake up with the worst allergy headache (even though you have never dealt with allergies before) Sometimes your dog is a jerkContinue reading “Sometimes and Always”

A Pickled Awakening

Y’all, that woman I have been searching for….she opened her eyes a little tonight. She woke up and stretched a little. She saw the sun peaking through the blinds. And someday soon (very soon), she is going to get out of that cave, put on the most obnoxiously bright dress and step back out into the sunshine.

Late Night Laptop Talk

I’m just now shutting my laptop for the night and going to bed. A bed that has “half on” sheets because I have just been too tired to care if they are on right or at all. I have no Christmas decorations up AT ALL (for the first time in my entire life). And atContinue reading “Late Night Laptop Talk”

Fancy’s Swimsuit Edition…..Wearing Whatever the Flip I want……..

Well. Here goes…the Fancy Pants swimsuit edition is now posted. And I’m actually pretty proud and excited about it. Check out my fabulous swimsuit finds, how much I love the way they hug my body, some little girls that helped me face the fear of posting this, AND how very little I care what the internet thinks about it!
