Life is Beautiful

It's been a while since I've blogged...I think? I haven't been the happiest camper lately. Everything that happens to me always seems too good to be true...and not only do things seem that way, but...they actually are.

I watched a band palying at school tonight after class with a couple of classmates...it made me feel a little sentimental towards a certain guitar player that I know.

Life is simple, and life is good, and life can be easy, and life is beautiful...I'm the one who makes things complicated. I think I've always had this little part of me that loves tragedy and to be tragic. In all actuality though...that's NOT who I really am. I'm just too scared to let myself be happy I think because...like I said up above...things are too good to be true most of the time, and instead of just living in the moment...I wait...I wait for things to come crashing down.

I'm not so sure I'm happy with the fact that my blogging sounds so negative. It's just that this is the easiest way to vent for me right now.


After class today I met up with my friend Carla. I thought we were just going to talk for a minute, but she wanted to do something. It was a very good day. Carla and I haven't been able to hang out very much lately. So, we got some coffee and then did our favorite thing - shopping! There is no one better on this earth to shop with than Carla (except maybe mom, because she might offer to pay for something, lol!) Not only do I always find really cute stuff for a great deal when I shop with her, but we laugh our asses off at the same time. The best thing is trying on the most ridiculous shoes in Ross or Marshalls. She bought me a cute pink cargo belt today! I also got a pair of jeans that I would never have bought on my own, and a shirt that once again without Carla I probably wouldn't even have had the courage to try on. We may be headed in different directions, but Carla is definitely one friendship that I don't think I could ever let go.

I just read Josh's blog a minute ago...I think my feelings are very hurt!!!

This may be enough catching up for now...I hate it when these blogs start to go beyond a length that anyone else except myself could tolerate!

Josh, aren't YOUR feelings hurt since she didn't name you A FUN SHOPPER? You do shop with her the most after all.

Josh has no right to feel hurt at this point. He knows perfectly well that his behavior has been perfectly unacceptable lately. It's no fun shopping for clothes with Josh...other stuff, yes, but not clothes.

Am I Going To Die? I just got stung for the first time ever by a wasp . . . So far so good . . . I can still breathe, I haven't swelled up like a balloon, yet . . . But it hurts and itches like crazy!!! It's almost the end of the semester and I am completely swamped! Two projects, two papers, and three finals, all in the next 3 weeks . . . Somehow I'll handle it. I've actually all of sudden "woken up" where school is concerned. I've been in such a daze for like the last 7 or 8 months. The AOC has changed my life as I knew it . . . in good and bad ways!!! Bad because he takes up too much of my thoughts . . . and I need all the brain capacity that I can get!!! Somehow, after years of barely even talking to anyone at work, and only a couple of years of actually being a little more friendly with my co-workers, I seem to have been sucked up in "office politics" and I HATE it! I used to really like going to work . . . now I just want to quit!! It still...

DIY Faux Brick Wall with German Schmear

Written February 14, 2021, when I tried to start a  WordPress blog , but failed because I'm old and it's too complicated. My estranged (?), separated (?), I don't know what, husband, and I actually worked on this together.  I watched 1,000 YouTube videos and read another 1,000 posts on how to do this.  In the end, I took a little from here and a little from there. The faux brick paneling was bought from Home Depot.   We cut the seams with a Ryobi jigsaw , used liquid nails and a Ryobi nail gun to attach the panels, and used joint compound mixed with a bit of water for the schmear.  It's a perfectly, imperfect technique.  I practiced a little, but decided to just jump in and let the wall take on a life of it's own.  I will warn that the joint compound dries much whiter than you think it will.  Use sparingly if you want to see more brick. Once the wall was finished, I painted the other walls Sherwin Williams Perfect Greige .  Shelves and floor...

Time to Share? I have a huge crush. I have a huge crush on a man I've never met in person. I have a huge crush on a man who does things that are very cool. Yesterday in the mail I got the book that he sent me...the book that he wrote...a book about all of his travels and adventures. The more I read this book, the less confident I start to feel about this being a possible "match". I have no idea what I can offer this older, more sophisticated, more worldly man. The biggest adventures in my life are grappling with 18-year old freshmen for a parking space at school, finishing a set of push-ups and pull-ups at the gym, or wrestling my daughter to the ground for a bath. Maybe I can teach him all about Sponge-Bob Square Pants? This is again one of those times where things seem too good to be true. The emails we send back and forth would suggest that there is a great interest and curiosity on both sides, and that something really good could possibly come from this!!! His ...
