Lately I have been having this panic inducing tightening in my chest. And I know it is not a heart attack. Instead, it is anxiety. At the current moment I feel like I have so much on my plate that I am never going to get finished. Some days it feels like I […]
Some of my hobbies require I ask people for some feedback. Some constructive criticism if you will. “Hey I made this new design, what do you think of it?” And when I ask that question, I know I am going to get people that are going to say, “yah know, I really do not […]
So I had to challenge myself the other day. “But Alicia, WHY would you challenge yourself??” you might be asking? And the answer is, because I like to sew. How do those two link up? Well, let me give you a fun tidbit of backstory. I have never ever ever ever been […]
I was off of work for eleven days in a row. Eleven glorious magnificent magical wonderful days. Days where I rested and relaxed, did what I wanted to do, slept in, stayed up late. All those fun things you get to do on your day off. Today is my first day back at […]

I had a moment the other day. One of those moments that when I first got married I naively thought “That won’t be me.” Poor poor naïve Alicia. It was always kind of a joke growing up, and even now, well into adult hood. That the woman fantasizes, day dreams, for a day […]
My husband and I met five years ago. Obviously, it worked out, and we have been together ever since, and five years later I would like to think he and I are still reasonably attracted to each other. And by reasonably attracted, I mean to say, far more bluntly, that we still have […]
For as long as I can remember, food has been my savior, and at times my captor too. No matter what swirling vortex of emotions cascaded through my body, I had food there to help me cope. Bad day? Pint of ice cream to take the edge off. Good day? Celebratory taco! Family get […]
