The Humdrum

It looks like I have become addicted to a new routine. Drop off Gabby, go to Big Apple Bagels, come home, get online. I don't think this bagel and coffee addiction is a good thing. I tried to change it up a bit and got veggie lite cream cheese instead of plain. It better be good. Gabby is going to her dad's for like the 5th weekend in a row. I feel like the world's worst mother...and that's probably a lot closer to the truth than I even realize. I am so excited that Josh started blogging. He's so witty and funny that reading his blogs is definitely an uplifting experience...everyone should try a little Josh humor. He'll get published and be famous, and give me half of the profits since I provide so much inspiration for his jokes!!! Jackass!!! This is it buddy. This is the way you're going to break into being on the New York Bestsellers!!! This is what you let law school go for. I'm not sure I'm liking this veggie lite stuff. It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't so "chunky". The carrots are kind of gross. Today I'm having lunch with Josh at 12 and seeing Aaron at 2, and then I'm off to drop off Gabby. I need to add a little cleaning in there as well. Today is looking better than yesterday did.

All this talk of bagels is making me crave bagels. Ugh! I'm heading out to Einstein bagels in about 10 minutes. THANKS ALOT!
That's what you get. You're the one who made me addicted to Big Apple Bagels in the first place.

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
