"Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend . . . "

How did it happen that my trainer, Aaron, has become such an important "friend" and we don't even hang out, nor would we want to? I really like people who give it to you straight, and you're absolutely sure that they don't have a hidden agenda, and they don't seem FAKE. He really helped me out today by just having a very simple conversation with me, and even though he doesn't have any clue about this blog - "THANKS, Aaron".

I have to admit that I'm quite bored and possibly a little...hmmm...depressed is the wrong word here...but I can't think of what word I want, just in a slump, maybe...the "adventurous, online crush" is out o' country, and I'm missing my evening IM's and emails.

A friend, Brian, asked me today why girls have friendships at all when all they do is argue, be catty, and talk about each other...hmmm, Brian, I don't know. Maybe that's why most of my friends are males, and if they are female, most of them are much older than me.

You can usually sense when someone is that way and just avoid them. At least that's what I do. Usually that kind of attitude comes from their own insecurity and has nothing to do with you. So, I guess a lot of women are insecure? Especially in the business world. I usually have to contend with that when I start a new job. I just wait it out and eventually they hang themselves.

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...

Happy Freakin' New Year

Written January 1, 2021, when I tried to start a Wordpress blog , but failed because I'm old and it's too complicated. 2020 and I had a love/hate relationship. I hated seeing what was happening to others and the world. I dealt with my fair share of struggles, but mostly, I think I was the closest to contentment that I've ever been. 1. I LOVED working from home MOMO working from home 2. I felt closer to my family 3. I didn't mind the slower pace and less to do 4. I was able to have a better work/life balance 5. I felt more productive at home and at work 6. I did a couple of home projects - helped my parents landscape my front yard, gave my bedroom a makeover with my sister, and reorganized my pantry with her Before After Pantry Makeover Bedroom Makeover 7. I spent the best summer with my son and dogs at my sister'shouse - laughing, crying, painting rocks, getting to know my fur nieces and nephews (Wall-E, Maggie, Leeloo, and funny, little, Peyton who we lost in...

What is up?

Whew! I made it to my parent's house for once. My computer is still down, but it is my fault for not bringing it over to my dad's to get it fixed. It's kind of nice though to not always be so worried about checking my email or what not. I've been pretty busy. I was working my usually seasonal job for the last three weeks. Halloween happened, of course (pictures coming), and I've been interviewing like crazy. I'm going to be looking into temp jobs this week. I got a call from one, and she was going to put me into this once company that I've put in like 12 applications for. So, it might be easier for me to just find a temp-to-hire job. At least then I'll be relatively done with this whole interview crap. I don't even get nervous anymore...I just hate it. I'd rather sit in a bath tub full of frogs. Ok, maybe not that, but something else just as painful... I seriously had a blog written up in my head every single day for the last few wee...
