HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Last night there was a costume party (aka Halloween Party...but some people don't celebrate Halloween?...so hence just being called a costume party) for the Union stewards at work...I'm not a steward, and I only just became a memeber of the Union on my last day of work in June...and only became a memeber because there were a lot of "things" going on at work, and I didn't want to be easily fired...however, the party was at a good friend from work's house, so I got an invite...I think they just really needed an extra kid...the party was kicked off by us watching the little girls, including Gabby, do a project...the project was to get this guy from work into his costume...they did his make-up...he was such a good sport about it and it was hilarious!!! Then followed up by lots of Malibu on ice.

I threw together a cat outfit, by the way, for the party...I'll have to post the pics...kind of funny.

Tonight I will be out amongst all the other parents walking their kids from door to door. Gabby is going as Esmerelda from the Hunchback of Notre Dame...maybe I'll throw the kitty cat ears back on...I'm going to start a new fashion statement...kitty ears and false eyelashes everyday at work...fun!!!

Yes, I agree with Jessie. Definitely a "sexy" thang going on.

Woman? You don't have a digital camera? I'm not sure I can continue to visit here knowing that. You can get little dinky digital ones for, like, $20 at Walmart. Go! *continuing to bang silverware* Go get a cheap digital camera!! You have a child, for chrissakes, don't you? ... you must record digitally all the cute things, right???

sniff, sniff...i know!! :( I will be working on it. I am a student though, so 20 bucks to me is like a million dollars.

Where is your amazon.com wishlist, woman? Where? That's the best way to get free things.

Better yet, just email me your mailing address. I have like three dorky digital cameras that I never use anymore. They're cheap and easy. With no preview screen on the back. But they're digital!

Yeah, really ... what operating system do you run? The reason I ask is because XP will recognize it and install the appropriate drivers. I don't have any drivers for it anymore.

It's a little Aiptek pen cam ... like this.

The pictures it turns out (especially with low light) aren't that great, but it's better than nothing ... ????

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...

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...

Constant Construction

I don't know how non-ADD brains, non-anxiety riddled bodies handle living in this type of chaos, but I can tell you that with ADD and anxiety, this construction chaos paralyzes me.  All I want to do is run away and travel instead of just buckling down and getting it completed.   It's been years of living in some sort of disarray.  That hole in my ceiling has been an ongoing project for nearly 10 years.  Something my estranged husband was supposed to handle, but never did.  So, I hired a guy from Thumbtack, who got the job done, eventually.  He could definitely strengthen his time management skills.   Big changes coming for this room.  Change is slow to come in this household, but I still hold out hope everyday that it will speed up.
