Cinnamon Danish

Ya know what? I am okay. I am okay with the fact that my "Merry Meeting" (thanks K) didn't take place. Disappointed, yes, but okay nonetheless. I had a really good conversation with the AOC last night. Two of them in fact. And maybe some of his confidence that our "meeting" will take place at some point is rubbing off on me. It's just so hard for me to trust what people tell me. I just have such a problem believing that someone would actually like me, so when things like this happen, I always think it's because the person is "avoiding" . . . maybe that's because that's what I do. So . . . keep your fingers crossed for me.

I have mentioned that even though I really like my strength/resistance training sessions at the gym, I absolutely cannot stand going in to do cardio? . . . I have been in four days in a row to do cardio this week! And today I actually want to go. I think it's something you have to get used to, and then like bagel and coffee addictions it becomes a necessity.

I slept so well last night for once. Josh actually called and woke me up instead of the other way around. He called just to tell me that the world was ending and the sky was radioactive. Sure enough, I looked outside and the sky had the weirdest reddish, orangish glow . . . but it cleared up soon. Hmmm . . . don't know what it was, but Josh needs to stop being so dramatic.

I stepped out again this morning and tried the cinnamon DANISH bagel. Mary, the bagel, attendee must think I'm going nuts after months and months of only ever ordering an everything or a cheddar herb.

Because of the black background (that I know you've had forever and ever), when I clicked on your link meaning to click on my future Brother-in-law's blog, I thought I was reading my future brother-in law's blog.

It makes so much more sense knowing that it was your blog I was reading vs. his blog. (phew).

Umm, wow.
That's funny. You should know that whenever you're reading crazy rantings you are in my home.

I know I should. It was the weirdest darn thing. I was reading the part about the two single, student women and was thinking "Why is Steve writing about this, is he making this story up? Why?" I finished and was thinking "I have no clue what to say to him. That was the strangest thing he's ever written."

Then, I glanced up and saw "Que?" and went, "wait a minute ... hey, this is Elizabeth's blog!" Then I had to re-read everything so that it made sense.

Then I started giggling, which was wholly inappropriate for your entry. But I was just soooo relieved that Steve hadn't lost his mind. NOT inferring in any way that YOU have, BTW.

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...
