All Mighty Mouth

This is what my daughter turning seven has brought me. Her mouth and the attitude that comes out of it has been driving me insane! I realize she's just trying to test me and all situations around her, but some this has got to stop!

On her birthday she was opening her presents and not being very excited. She seemed almost bored. She opened up her Sponge Bob movie and just kind of looked at it. I asked her if she was having fun and if she liked her presents. She responded first with a huge SIGH! And I was thinking, "You ungrateful spoiled little child!" But at the end of her sigh and after a pause she said, "You are the most awesome Mom ever!!!" Which then of course led me to crying on the spot! I have the most awesome KID EVER!!!

My weekends without Gabby seem like nothing short of complete debauchery. I need to find something else that will occupy my time and make me happy. Staying out all night, drinking, being around people I don't really want to be around other than to have them somehow boost my ego and be nice to me just isn't cutting it anymore. I got home at 6 this morning, had to call into work (which is fine because we still don't have that much work), and then I slept pretty much until 3pm. Now I'm still exhausted and can't wait to lay my head down on my pink pillows!

Don't get me wrong . . . having a daughter is the most awesome thing! They just go through these phases and drive you insane . . .

My B-day is the 26th of June. Hail all Cancers! Good luck with that one. They are the most sensitive and moody ones of the zodiac!

Lizzy, it could be worse. You could have a boy, which I don't see you with. I think it would be helarious.

Ex-neighbor - of course I remember you. I'm sorry, I really suck at returning emails. I didn't know you had been reading, but that's awesome! Does it get any better at 8? ;)

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...

Time to Share? I have a huge crush. I have a huge crush on a man I've never met in person. I have a huge crush on a man who does things that are very cool. Yesterday in the mail I got the book that he sent me...the book that he wrote...a book about all of his travels and adventures. The more I read this book, the less confident I start to feel about this being a possible "match". I have no idea what I can offer this older, more sophisticated, more worldly man. The biggest adventures in my life are grappling with 18-year old freshmen for a parking space at school, finishing a set of push-ups and pull-ups at the gym, or wrestling my daughter to the ground for a bath. Maybe I can teach him all about Sponge-Bob Square Pants? This is again one of those times where things seem too good to be true. The emails we send back and forth would suggest that there is a great interest and curiosity on both sides, and that something really good could possibly come from this!!! His ...
