"Shake, shake the KETCHUP bottle; None will come, and then a lottle . . . "

(I think this is the second time that I have used a line from a movie about "KETCHUP" to stand in for me meaning that I'm going to "catch up". I won't do it again, I promise.)

I have just forgotten anything that I wanted to blog about...I think I spent too much energy coming up with the titile and the title explaination.

Media: This past weekend I bought the new Joss Stone cd...it's really good, and needs to be checked out by all. On Saturday morning I got up pretty early and stayed in bed and watched Taking Lives...twice. It WAS that good. Plus, it had one of those endings where you want to re-watch the movie to see why you didn't get it or something. Plus, Plus...it has Angelina Jolie in it. It's also time for book shopping again. I probably need to find some way to "slow my roll" in reading. I'm going through a book in like 2-3 days. Maybe I should join a book club? Or MAYBE, my supposed top of the "friend pyramid" friend should start sending me books again.

Kid Story?: On Tuesday when I picked Gabby up from my mom's, I was carrying her out to the car, and she was asleep, but she starts saying, "Two...two..." and I'm like WHAT?, and then she said, "Go Fish!". It's so hilarious and cute when she talks in her sleep. However, when she sits up in bed in the middle of the night and just looks at me, and then lays back down...it's not so cute...it's downright scary. She does this pretty often. She sleeps as fitfully as I do.

I have the biggest, hardest test of my whole academic career today. Am I ready? I guess i'll find out in a couple of hours. Wish me luck!!!

I have some pretty cool stuff going on in my life right now, and I so want to blog about it, but what to say?...what to say...? It's kind of like an emotional rollercoaster though...fun and not fun.

Yesterday at the gym Aaron foam rolled my back with the broomstick...I'm so sick of that broomstick. I think I'll have to go in there on his day off and steal it. He said this past weekend that he got drunk, and fell...and you can definitely tell...he has this huge scrape across his forehead...like a rug burn...it's really kind of cute though.

Glad you found your Ketchup line. Did you find out about the ticket? I want a copy of the Joss CD - soon.
I can't believe you didn't remember...you were the one that died laughing and wrote in my screensaver. Talking to mom tonight about ticket. I don't think it's looking too good though.

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...
"He's Just Not THAT Into You" Sheesz...did someone really need to write this book? Why couldn't women just be left alone in their lonesome deceiving torture upon themselves. No, really...seriously...we like not knowing the truth and playing games with our own minds. What will we have to talk about with our friends if we can't say, "What do you think he meant by this?" If everytime you have to question a man's motives or make excuses for him, and the answer to everything is simply, "He's just not all that into you"...there will be no glimmer of hope...none whatsoever...a girl won't even be able to fool herself into thinking that she can ever possibly find someone. I know I know I know...the truth hurts, and the truth also sets you free...but you'll have to be very secure in yourself and not prone to beating yourself up in order for the truth to really set you free...otherwise the truth only makes it harder to move on. So, thi...
