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)

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...

Constant Construction

I don't know how non-ADD brains, non-anxiety riddled bodies handle living in this type of chaos, but I can tell you that with ADD and anxiety, this construction chaos paralyzes me.  All I want to do is run away and travel instead of just buckling down and getting it completed.   It's been years of living in some sort of disarray.  That hole in my ceiling has been an ongoing project for nearly 10 years.  Something my estranged husband was supposed to handle, but never did.  So, I hired a guy from Thumbtack, who got the job done, eventually.  He could definitely strengthen his time management skills.   Big changes coming for this room.  Change is slow to come in this household, but I still hold out hope everyday that it will speed up.
