Girls Day Out

So, any of us with significant others kicked them to the curb and spent a girls day out together. Becky, Andrea, and I went to brunch at Druther's. Never been there, but it was to die for! Then we met up with Kelly and Joy to go to the Japanese Tea Gardens. Hadn't been there in years. Took lots of pics. Can't wait to see the ones Becky took. She made me be in most of them since it was decided I was the most photogenic. Awww...how nice. The Gardens are right next to the zoo so we decided to take a ride on the train that goes around Breckenridge Park and the zoo, which I have never done before. We sat up in the front near the "conductor", and laughed our asses off. He was so freakin' hilarious.

Joy had to leave, but Becky, Kelly, Andrea, and I had dinner at Alamo Cafe, and then we headed back to my apartment where we played the Wii for a couple of hours and then tried to learn the So Jo Boy dance. Good times.

Gabby's dad actually drove her home for once, and that was really, really nice. Now she's in bed, and I'm on my way there. Great day.

My pictures from the Tea Gardens are below. And, make sure to look at the post after that. I finally got some of the better pics from the Bachelorette Party.

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
