"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.

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
