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 […]
Trip Log, Day 2
Day 2 was a wonderful rest day. We (okay, I) slept late, and after breakfast went down to the Conifer Safeway to stock up on camping foodies. Brian had regaled me with descriptions of this store after his visit last July, but I still wasn’t quite ready for the reality. It was the most awesome […]
Home Again
We have returned from our epic trip to Yellowstone and other parts unknown (to me). Our stuff is unpacked, the house is clean, and the pantry is restocked. Time to settle in for another couple of days before going to work. Was I sad to come back? Not really. I was sad to leave, especially […]
Not Dead!
Well, not yet, at least. Just nearly dead. To blaaaaaave… Anyway, work is still insane, but a slightly lighter shade of it, so I’m leaving a quick note while dinner is in the oven. Here are some observations for today: Fleetwood Mac still rocks. Awesome show in Tulsa Sunday night, and I thank them for […]
Hiatus
I’ve not posted for a week, and probably will be scarce for two more, at least. As I mentioned in a previous post, the pace at work has hit Warp 9.5. When things slow down enough for me to think straight, I’ll be back to posting random observations and botched movie quotes. Whee!~H
Friday at Last!
Woo hoo! (By the way, I find it funny that spell check underlines hoo, but not woo.) On the way home today, I saw one of those gas pipeline way stations enclosed in a chain-link fence. My first thought was, “ooh, random encounter!” Why? Because I played Fallout3 so much, and several zones in Fallout3 […]
Hockey Night
I’m watching/listening to a hockey game tonight, so a bit distracted. However, I’ve got pics for you from my ever-exciting workplace! Specifically, pics of something that helps keep me sane. Pre-squeeze… Post-squeeze… How awesome is this toy? Smooshing it when I’m thinking (or fuming) has helped lots, so a heartfelt thank you to the lovely […]
