"I'm Singing in the Rain . . . "

(I really LOVE having song titles for my blogs...and really people...you must participate...you have to sing along...it really WILL make your day better!)

Today is one of the most awesomest days in the world...don't ask me why...I really don't know...it just is. I woke up to rain, and now it's sunshiny. I had a very fun and insecurity-driving-away conversation last night and this morming (this morming? I had to leave that in there...it's kind of funny...ok, probably only to me) with the "adventurous, online crush", and I got Aaron the Beast to cancel our appointment today. And who knows what the rest of today holds...only good things, Samantha...only good things!

I've been re-decorating my apt. for the last year...very...very slowly...whenever I have excess money...It's almost done, but I have nothing on my walls. I had decided to do my own paintings...something I haven't really done since I was 17 or so, but...it can be quite expensive...I have a very long wall in my living room, and want to find a canvas that stretches along the whole thing...Today I got a brillant idea from Jess' brother's girlfriend's blog , and I commented on Jess' blog about my idea...I don't feel like writing it out again. I kind of LOVE being the only one who thinks I'm funny, has good ideas, and a genius - even if I did half way steal the idea.

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...

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...
