Pretty is as Pretty does

-You go crazy girl! Look at me, I totally switched it up today. I went a little crazy. Instead of the usual Light Plain Cream Cheese I get on my morning bagel...You'll never believe this...I got Scallion Cream Cheese instead! Woo Hoo!

I am busy!!! I am tired!!! I am anxious, and afraid I'll never get anything done! But I did get a lot done yesterday. I applied for 5 more jobs. I've been doing about 5-7 a week. Not too shabby. I've still got two more days to complete everything. However, despite all the anciness and stuff...I have felt pretty great the last couple of days. I mean really great. I think I should start keeping a journal for "that time of the month" because after it's over with, I seem to feel great, and then I'm like, "Huh. I was really depressed for about two weeks there. That was probably what it was." So, that tells me I should still look into being medicated because you just can't spend two weeks depressed, two weeks super great. And I think it makes everyone I know go a little crazy, too.

My sister let me borrow the prettiest dress for one of the events during Jessica's Wedding Weekend Extravaganza. I'm so excited. I've gained a lot of weight, and I will be doing something more proactive about it. But for now, while I'm doing something about it, I can't really do anything about it, ya know? So, pretty is as pretty does. If I feel pretty who the hell cares what anyone else thinks I look like. And, I really like my bridesmaid dress. How many other bridesmaids have you actually heard say that? Thanks a bunch, Jessie! This might be our last formal event together...at least until I get married...IF I ever do. Want to see the past times we were formal together??


Homecoming 1994. Whoa! Look at Jessica's hair!!! Mine was just starting to grow out from the picture after this...


Prom 1993


Ok, not so formal, but we were cute! This must have been Summer 1994.

-Jessica, I just looked up my itinerary, and my layover is in Denver. Weird.

OH didn't you hear? I've added a Picture Burning Ceremony to the wedding. These prom pictures MUST MUST MUST GO!

Nope! The only one I will agree to burning is the K-Mart pictures. But we'd probably cause a bonfire so huge it would burn down the entire forest land of VA.

It takes a brave confident person to share some of those pics. I hope Jessica signed a release or I smell a lawsuit.

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 ...
