Torn and Tattered

Yep! The worst week ever seems to have actually made it through a full week...starting last Monday and hopefully it ended yesterday (Monday). I will get this over with quickly, though, and hope that this is the end of it.

Last we were...broken down car on Friday...picked up Gabby and mom's car, got lost for an hour on the way to dropping Gabby off at her dad's...in the rain, talking to Jess as she laughed at me for being lost. Had to have a more than 5 minute conversation with Gabby's dad. Saturday: supposed to go shopping with mom, she cancelled. Took out my own stitches...thought I lost one. Went shopping with Josh...shopping for new jacket and boots...my feet are too big, and they never have my size...my boobs and shoulders are too big and every leather jacket has shoulder pads, and I'm not trying to look like a linebacker. Josh made me walk from the mall to Target. Josh bought stuff. He bought stuff that came in hard boxes with corners. Josh was swinging bag, and one of the said items with sharp corners swung and poked me right in the newly unstitched hole in my hand...almost beat Josh up before I stopped and had to realize it really wasn't his fault, but really wanted to hit him. Watched the movie I am Sam...if you've seen it, I don't need to say more. Driving dad's truck for the weekend...haven't driven standard in a long time...I've been taking the long way to get anywhere...avoiding the chance of being at a stop light on an incline. Yesterday we had major flash floods. I walked in the rain, sopping wet to get to class for freakin' 50 minutes (I mean the class was only 50 min.) Couldn't get anything done thanks to traffic and flooding, and dumb people getting stuck in low water crossings. Ok, this is longer than I intended. I also haven't been to the gym, I think Aaron's really pissed at me, I've eaten like absolute crap (thanks, Josh), and I haven't had a conversation with the AOC for many days now...we keep playing IM and phone tag. Also, broke the Alfie soundtrack CD that Josh bought. Oops! My nerves have been at an all time irritating level as well. I ate 12 donuts yesterday (And, no, they were not the little ones as both Josh and Jess asked me this very same question). It has rained all weekend long. Been raining basically since last Tuesday.

Good points: Josh's birthday dinner...(yum...tortillas and Sangria). Saw the movie Sideways...very, very good. Went shopping with mom on Sunday. The AOC called and left message on my cell phone. My night class was cancelled last night thanks to flooding. Vicodin and...more Vicodin.

I am Sam - That film made me cry like a girl! And none of my friends have seen it, so thanks for letting me know I'm not the only one.
Flash - I don't know how anyone could not cry at that movie. I was literally like sobbing so hard I couldn't breathe. That was one movie that was really good, but I don't think I really needed to see it.

Lizzy - LOL at the little doughnuts. I'm sorry but that's just too funny...

I AM SAM goes in the same category as A Walk To Remember...we're seeing that this spring.
We'll definitely have to get a cache of really good movies. I'm going to actually see about having that surgery done during Spring Break...then Gabby can be gone for the whole week, and you can be here for a full week, and I can take a week off from work!!!...but I am really ready for these "things" to just be gone!!!

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...

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...

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...
