Josh . . . Just Plain Dumb?

Josh and I went to breakfast at Cracker Barrell this morning. I'd never been before even though it's like 2 minutes from my apartment. Josh swore that it would be better than IHOP or any other such place. Anyways...we waited like 45 minutes for a table, but it was fine because they have this store that you can look around, and they had all their Christmas stuff out. We finally sat down, and Josh showed me this game that they had sitting on the table. It's shaped like a triangle, and has golf tees stuck in holes all over it with one empty hole. The object is to "jump" over each golf tee and remove it...ok I don't realy want to explain the whole thing...the point is that the instructions said that if you left 4 or more tees on the game board then you were an ignoramous...hahaha...Josh's first try...this is exactly what he got (and he had played it before)...I then took my very first try at this game, and removed all but one...which according to the game board makes me a genius...Josh of course couldn't stand this and tried again...this time?...he removed more, but still not enough...the game board said his score meant he was "just plain dumb"!

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
