I'm on a roll!

I did it. I fought the urge, and did not give in to the last 6 months of addicting bagels and coffee! I measured out my Cheerios to a perfect 2 cups, and my fat free milk to 1 1/2 cups. I got rid of the Wimp, and now hopefully I'm back to eating correctly. I want to see at least 1 in. missing from every body part the next time I get measured. And I kind of need to prove to myself that I can do this! Shopping for clothes isn't any fun when everything in style is so damn tiny, and it's hard enough getting my boobs into those little shirts, let alone worrying about whether or not I can see back fat through my shirt!!! Yucky Yucky Back Fat! Back fat is the enemy.

I shopped for almost 6 hours yesterday. Poor Josh was the one dying on this particular trip. It's usually me complaining that I want to go home, but have money, will spend!!!

I'm having a hard time and overanalyzing this AOC thing way too much. I guess I just feel like he's really not that into me most of the time. But I need to get over it. I'm a little cute, right? I could find someone else...there are plenty of fish in the sea, yada yada yada...the problem is, at this moment in time...I want this fish. I'm not ready to pull the hook on this Marlin and spend time looking through the Guppies until I find another Marlin.

Maybe you should just go hunting. Instead of trying to lure men into taking a bite, just shoot them in the head when they aren't expecting it.

I don't even like fish...well...I LOVE shellfish, but I'm not a big fan of "regular" fish. But everytime I say things aren't going well, and they're not, then he does something to reel me back in!! Hey!!! I'm not the fish here...he is!!!

Your Marlin Guppy story was a little pathetic -- but I totally know what you mean. Besides, if we have ANYTHING in common it's probably that we can't stand men for more then a few days. You'll rope him in and then spit him out in no time!

I don't want to spit him out! I want him to jump in the net all on his own, no reeling, and staying for dinner. OH GOD! This is such a pathetic analogy!!!

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 ...
