Made Fresh For You: Hot & Delicious

I've still been skipping school...at least a class a week...now I know another important reason that it's not a good idea...FINDING OUT YOU HAVE A FLAT TIRE, AND HAVING TO WAIT AN HOUR TO GET A NEW ONE!!! Yes, that's right, I had a flat tire as I was leaving work and heading to school...tire place was on the corner, so I was very much a girl, and stopped to have the boys do it for me instead of changing it myself. Was probably the best idea anyway. It had been slashed and couldn't be saved.

Yesterday was my ex-boyfriend's birthday. We haven't spoken in about three months. We dated for five years so I felt like I needed to at least in some way just simply say "Happy Birthday". A friend at work suggested I just text message him. Sounded like a great idea, right? WRONG!! The ex in question has tended to have stalkerish qualities, and every time I give him an inch he takes way more than a mile. 4 text messages in a row yesterday, and 12 phone calls today...one of which I answered because it came through as an unknown call...all because I was trying to just give a simple "shout out". I hate being mean to people and hurting people's feelings. I have tended to be a people pleaser for most of my life (been seriously working on that), and I have felt very guilty about the fact that this ex seems to think that I have ruined his life, but after today I REALLY know that I can't even be nice to him at all...even if he thinks that I'm the coldest person alive.

The "adventurous, online crush" is back in North America...I had two emails and a phone call yesterday!!!! I am walking on cloud 9. The conversation went much better than last time. And, once again I want to start running in the other direction. What the hell is wrong with me? I am not one of those people who say that they would rather have "2 minutes of something wonderful, than a lifetime of nothing special" (what movie is that from?), nor do I wish things like not missing the "dance", etc. I like guarantees, and I like knowing what's ahead of me, and I want everything to be peachy keen, available, and in my lap, NOW!!! I just wish we could meet right NOW!!! I don't like this waiting. I know this is irrational and ridiculous, but hey, that's me, I guess. (Found out last night that his b-day is 3 days after mine...he's a Cancer, too...hmmm...never experienced having to be around someone like me...Josh would probably say that it's very hard to deal with).

I don't even want to discuss my appointment with Aaron the Beast that I had today after not seeing him for 2 weeks...I am wondering though how this 22-year old boy got to be so damn motivational, simple in a good way, and smart about things that most people take their whole lifetime to figure out?

I never said that I thought I ruined his life...I said he thinks that I have...pest!
Oh, yeah...once again you mispelled the word "you're" "your". Would you like me to pay for you to take an English test?
I mean English "class" not test.

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...
Time to Share? I have a huge crush. I have a huge crush on a man I've never met in person. I have a huge crush on a man who does things that are very cool. Yesterday in the mail I got the book that he sent me...the book that he wrote...a book about all of his travels and adventures. The more I read this book, the less confident I start to feel about this being a possible "match". I have no idea what I can offer this older, more sophisticated, more worldly man. The biggest adventures in my life are grappling with 18-year old freshmen for a parking space at school, finishing a set of push-ups and pull-ups at the gym, or wrestling my daughter to the ground for a bath. Maybe I can teach him all about Sponge-Bob Square Pants? This is again one of those times where things seem too good to be true. The emails we send back and forth would suggest that there is a great interest and curiosity on both sides, and that something really good could possibly come from this!!! His ...
