Another beginning...
Another fall semester has begun and with a lot of spare time between classes I am left alone to roam the city. I've been going to UC Denver for about a year and a half now but I have never been afforded the opportunity to wonder off of campus and explore. The funny thing about being a mom is that your life centers around your children and its hard not to lose yourself through that devotion. But this semester I am being forced to spend time alone in the city and it has been more refreshing than I could have ever imagined.
I am the PTA mommy who reads parenting magazines, does laundry and fixes dinner for everyone at home. I'm always consumed with caring for my family but here in the streets of Denver I am allowed to be someone else. I call this person... Coco Robicheaux.
Coco is a spicier version of myself. I know what you are thinking. With a name like Nina Nevada why do you feel the need to come up with an alter ego aren't you spicy enough? I can't give you an answer to that question but I really like the name Coco Robicheaux so please don't bother me with these annoying questions.
Let me tell you about Coco. Coco is a smart, audacious, ventursome woman who meanders through the streets of Denver embracing whatever may come her way. She's a character to say the least so stay posted for the adventures that lie ahead for Nina Nevada and Coco Robicheaux because this fall is guaranteed to be interesting!
I'm pretty sure my internal monologue has never really developed past the age of 13. I just never got past that awkward phase. I'm not gonna lie, it can get weird sometimes being a 29 year old who still thinks like a 13 year old.
