Attitude = Win

Just Imagine

Yes, I said organizations. Businesses, clubs, teams, even mini-armies crossed my notepads all through elementary school. We’d come up with mottos, marching […]
Welcome to the Pool

Passage of a Friend
We walked in the door yesterday, returning from a week-long trip out of town, to find my beloved Wolfie laying peacefully on the living room carpet. He died while we were gone, most likely from a stroke. From what we could discern, it had been instantaneous. He seemed to be in mid-stride going into another […]
My Shadow-a
My second cat, Shadow, passed away at home yesterday evening from complications due to old age. His poor old body just gave out at last, and he died peacefully snugged, warm in my arms. He was just over 17 years old. I’m really not handling it very well at all, but I am grateful that […]
What to Do
Two months have passed since I left my employer in Lawton to go out on my own. Leaving without another full-time gig lined up was a gamble, but the job was so detrimental to my health that the decision had to be made — it was them or me. I chose me. The first few […]
Back Home
I’ve been off visiting my family for the past week, so this place has been quiet (trying to type more than miniscule updates on my phone isn’t very appealing). Spending time with my sisters and their kids is always entertaining, and I got to spend a lot with my parents, so the trip was definitely […]
In the Kitchen
Let’s be honest. When Brian first started watching Kitchen Nightmares, the show’s concept horrified me. Reality shows are inherently confrontational, and I…well, I’m inherently not. They tend to make me uncomfortable, even the ones that don’t involve lots of yelling. He started watching this show while I was doing something else nearby and I started […]
Long Time
The past two years have been pretty eventful, this last year especially so in the Life Change department. My posts got circumvented by insane work schedules and I once again fell out of the updating habit. Now that I’m footloose and fancy freelancer, we can see about getting back into the swing of things. A […]
