"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.

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...

What is up?

Whew! I made it to my parent's house for once. My computer is still down, but it is my fault for not bringing it over to my dad's to get it fixed. It's kind of nice though to not always be so worried about checking my email or what not. I've been pretty busy. I was working my usually seasonal job for the last three weeks. Halloween happened, of course (pictures coming), and I've been interviewing like crazy. I'm going to be looking into temp jobs this week. I got a call from one, and she was going to put me into this once company that I've put in like 12 applications for. So, it might be easier for me to just find a temp-to-hire job. At least then I'll be relatively done with this whole interview crap. I don't even get nervous anymore...I just hate it. I'd rather sit in a bath tub full of frogs. Ok, maybe not that, but something else just as painful... I seriously had a blog written up in my head every single day for the last few wee...
