At a loss

The following are just a few random thoughts regarding my new bit of healthy eating:

1. I just ate a diet peanut butter cookie that tasted like neither peanut butter nor a cookie.

2. I understand why people say eating carrots will make one see better. Yes. I see now that I really don't care for carrots.

3. If a beverage is caffeine free, sugar free and calorie free, and has the word "diet" in its name...why can't I count it as one of my eight glasses of water a day?

4. Am I going to get fired for not doing my job at work because I'm running to the bathroom 17 times a day, due to that water consumption?

5. The tofu in my prepackaged diet meal of Thai Noodles in Peanut Sauce has the texture, flavor and consistency of the hot dog slices in Spaghetti-Os with weiners.

I'm sure there'll be more to come.

Ew Amy never consume "diet" cookies. Y'know what's actually surprisingly tasty? Sugar-free pudding. And it's low-cal. I like the banana flavor myself.

I never understood exactly what a diet soda is. There is absolutely nothing in it!

Oh I've had that Thai Noodles in Peanut Sauce thing. It was pretty disgusting. But it served a purpose - made me lose my appetite for the rest of the evening! But the Thai bowl that's Teriyaki-something or other looks pretty good.

So, I Changed My Mind

More than four years ago, the blog and I parted ways. I needed a change. A whole lot happened in my world since then. I switched jobs a couple times. My kid went from an elementary school tween to a teenage high schooler. We built a new house and moved. Both my parents and my sister have passed. The world around me changed as well. Mass shootings, racism, the #metoo movement, a misogynistic bigoted narcissist in the White House ... go ahead, add to the list. Toss your woes into this dumpster fire we call 2019.  I appreciate my previous sentiment, that I was no longer wandering. But let's be honest, we're all trying to find our way through this mess. I decided to reboot the blog to give myself a creative outlet, a way to sort through the confusion and frustration and attempt to make sense of it all. I have a voice, and I'm not keen to silence it anymore. Guess what? I'm back, bitches.

In memoriam...

I remember the first time I heard the name "Les Anderson." A bunch of Wichita State University communication majors were sitting around on campus, talking about classes they planned to take. Several people warned me: watch out for Les Anderson. He was tough. He had a murderous grading scale. It was nearly impossible to get an A. They weren't kidding. But he wasn't tough just to be a tyrant. From his teaching sprang a fleet of incredible, successful journalists, writers, editors, broadcasters, public relations experts, advertisers, non-profit professionals...I could go on and on. Most importantly, he created a legion of people who wanted to make a difference in the world. The greatest gift Les gave to them all? He believed in them, cared about them for their own personal stories as well as the stories they told for class assignments or in the pages of his hometown newspaper. Les was my teacher. My boss. My mentor. My conscience. My champion. My friend. When I started c...
