Just One of Those Things

One of the few reasons that I don't want to have any more children is because Gabby is already going to be 7, and I just don't want to have that big of a gap in ages with my kids. Not for their sake, but because I don't want Gabby to be 18 and leaving my house for school or something, and then have a new born baby or close to, and starting all over again. I never have lived the life of a 20-something-year old. So, I guess if I had more kids, I would have to get on the ball sometime in the very near future . . . um . . . but then again . . . um . . . NO!

The AOC is going out of the countryfor two weeks. He has the most awesome job, and that's one of the things that attracts me to him, what he does, what he likes to do, but it does kind of suck for me! He did warn me in the beginning that he can't keep dogs anymore let alone a girlfriend because of what he does (hmmm...I just re-read that, and I'm not sure I like the whole dog-keep-girlfriend reference). I think I might start having email withdrawals.

I had my first workout with my new trainer, Ray on Monday. ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE! I asked to have a tougher trainer, and I got one. I've been walking around like an old lady the last couple of days. I'm so sore!!! But I like him a lot. He' just as tough as Aaron the Beast, but more motivational, and a little nicer. He actually lets me get a drink of water. He's funny though, he gets in your face and starts clapping and saying, "There you go, Liz, there you go!!! Okay!!! You got it!!! There you go!!!" I think I impressed him a little. He gave me a workout just to see what I could do, and I did 3 sets of 12 reps of leg presses at almost 300lbs.!!! I impressed myself!!!

School Sucks!

Interesting on the AOC. If he doesn't show up at the end of the month I'm going to travel to NY to make him understand what he's doing to not only you, but me, and the rest of the blogging world!

Speaking of gaps in siblings, did you catch Oprah's show yesterday? OMG! The story about the couple who had a baby at age 16, gave him up for adoption. They went on with their lives, married other people, 27 years later, divorced ... the couple met again. The met, started looking for their adopted son. Coincidence of coincidence, they met their adoptive son's cousin and reconnected with their son. 28 years later, they got married again, had a baby girl. They let their son name her. 28 year age gap. Holy crap. (Link)

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...

"He's Just Not THAT Into You" Sheesz...did someone really need to write this book? Why couldn't women just be left alone in their lonesome deceiving torture upon themselves. No, really...seriously...we like not knowing the truth and playing games with our own minds. What will we have to talk about with our friends if we can't say, "What do you think he meant by this?" If everytime you have to question a man's motives or make excuses for him, and the answer to everything is simply, "He's just not all that into you"...there will be no glimmer of hope...none whatsoever...a girl won't even be able to fool herself into thinking that she can ever possibly find someone. I know I know I know...the truth hurts, and the truth also sets you free...but you'll have to be very secure in yourself and not prone to beating yourself up in order for the truth to really set you free...otherwise the truth only makes it harder to move on. So, thi...
