I'm Home

Not only am I home from visiting Jessica in DC, but I'm home from work as well. This spontaneous trip was not planned out very well, and I didn't give neurotic self enough time to have all of my laundry finished and hung up for the week. Not to mention I was very tired after an eventful weekend.

Josh took half the day off on Friday to take me to airport. You're thinking..."Awww, isn't he sweet!" Nope. He's really not. He's was just jealous, and needed to be involved in some way shape or form. He can't stand it when he doesn't get to be my "savior". I borrowed a suitcase for this trip, and it didn't have a lock on it. I know, you're not supposed to lock your luggage anymore, but I'm anal, and I just want to say "F-You" to the man! Josh and I stopped off at Target to get one. My god, never once can we just walk in a store together and not buy just what it is we came for. As we were looking for the locks, we got to wander through the isles and make notes of things we were gonna come back for. Oh, and Josh did buy the Grudge DVD.

I was freakin' out at this point. I don't mind flying at all. The take off, the landing, the being thousands of miles in the sky has never bothered me. Probably because I've been in planes since I was little. The part that bothers me is the whole getting there, getting checked in, going through security, getting on the plane, finding a seat, storing the carry ons, etc. I don't know why. But I was pretty much in freak out mode by the time Josh and I got to the airport almost 2 hours early. I got all checked in, felt better, and we decided to leave and have breakfast. Josh was not satisfied with me being freaked out and wanting to just go through a drive-thru. He wanted Huevos Rancheros for a $1.99 and there was no stopping him. So, we had a nice little Texan breakfast at Las Palapas, and I made him scarf his food down...not that he doesn't just do that on his own. Anyways, I made it on the plane fine, and everything was great. I had a window seat, and no one sitting next to me all the way to DC. No turbulance or anything, but I actually kind of like it when the plane gets bumpy! Just another of those freaky things about me!

I've realized that this weekend is just going to be to long to blog about right this minute, and I've gotta go...things to do...um, just laundry...and then I'm off to see my newest trainer Ray Ray...I thought the people at the gym just called him this as a nickname, but it really does say "Ray Ray" on his name tag. Funny.

I have the pre-travel stress, too. But I'm okay once I get through security. Love flying ... all that power upon take off. If I were a guy I might get a hard on during take offs.

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...

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.
