Finally!

So, it's all completely official and over with. I finished this summer class, and I should be expecting my degree in a couple of weeks.

I hadn't been on an interview for a job in 7 years until last week, and I'm really, really rusty, and pretty much suck at it. I rambled and fumbled all the way through the ones I had last week. and whadda ya know...the very first interview I had offered me the job. But I'm not taking it. Too little pay. Way too little pay. Especially doing so much work, and not even liking what it is I would have been doing.

I have so much going on for the rest of this week and into next week before I leave for Jessica's wedding.
-I still have to go out to this one place to do some applying and interviewing.
-Gabby needs to go school clothes shopping.
-We have to go school supply shopping.
-I have to pick up my bridesmaid dress.
-Kitchen must be immaculate before I leave.
-A karaoke party at JC's boss' house on Saturday night.
-A going away BBQ for my neighbor on Saturday afternoon.
-Bills have to be paid before I leave.
-Laundry, of course.

It's a little overwhelming, but if I can keep from procrastinating too much I should be able to get everything done, and still have my hair. Hopefully I'll still have my hair. It might be a little too late for me to find a hat that would match the bridesmaid dress.

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...
Has anyone ever told you you look like . . . ? If I have to hear someone tell me one more time that I look like Ann Margaret...I will SCREAM...or worse yet, Fergie!!! The only thing I have in common with these two women is the color of my hair!!! What was the other one I've heard?...Julianne Moore (or however it's spelled). I realize there aren't that many redheads in the world...and I realize that some people have this overwhelming need to compare the way people look to someone famous...but PLEASE!!!???...don't just go by the color of someone's hair
