Dysfunction Suits Me

In the left corner we have . . .

Josh and Gabby fight as if they are brother and sister. Sometimes it really cracks me up. Tonight at dinner Josh called Gabby a dork (very mature, Josh). She was upset for a moment, but then my bright, bright daughter called Josh "Dorky Porky!" I'm not sure even she knew just how fitting this was since Josh has been feeling a little bitter about some extra pound gainage. I was not too thrilled, however, when she turned around and called me "Miss Poopy Pants!" Hey!!! Isn't she supposed to stick up for me, and only help me gang up on Josh!!??

Josh then called Gabby "little". Gabby said, "I'm not little. I'M SIX-YEARS OLD! So why don't you put some poop on that!" I love her!

(Let me also remind everyone that Josh is my 34-year old best friend here in San Antonio!! Let me repeat . . . 34 . . . fighting with a six-year old!!!) Oh! And in the conversation on the phone later in the eveing, he said, "She called me a dork first!"

Poop comments at the dinner table -- what kind of mother have you turned in to! Just kidding. I think that's great. But for some reason when people verbally abuse Josh it's great. Gabby's almost 7!!! Wiggin

I don't know why it's so funny to verbally abuse Josh. I know it's mean, but I have never found so much enjoyment out of teasing someone before!!! And when Gabby does it...well, I can't help but want to give her a high five every time.

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...

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...
