Cha ching!

I cannot believe the stealin' deals I got consignment shopping today. Henry has been hurting for clothes ever since the weather turned colder. All his pants had ripped knees or cut off his mid-section circulation. All his long-sleeved shirts showed his belly when he lifted his arms.

So I hit the shops this afternoon. In a little over an hour, I managed to find an array of items labeled: Gap, Children's Place, Carter's, OshKosh, Ralph Lauren, Old Navy, and a few Von Maur brands.

I managed to snatch up 5 pairs of jeans (with NO rips, incredibly), a couple pairs of khakis, 1 pair of cords, 5 shirts (rugbys, long sleeved-Ts, etc.), 3 sweaters, a soft and fuzzy pullover, and -- the major score for the day -- a Columbia winter coat.

Grand total? $105. A. Maze. Ing.

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...
