"Moody Monday"

I seem to be getting lazier and lazier and more and more unmotivated . . . To do ANYTHING!! Too much on my mind? Too many things to do? Who knows . . . but it's getting on my nerves that I don't have the will power to do a dang gone thing!

Yesterday as I was driving to pick up Gabby from her dad's house I looked to my right towards where the passenger sideview mirror should be to change lanes and . . . um, it wasn't there, or at least it was just hanging there!!! DAMN IT!!! Some freakin' idiot hit my mirror, bumped by my mirror, or purposely knocked it off!!! I can't believe how inconsiderate people are of other people's property!!! It is completely cracked all around the plastic and sadly hanging on by the little wires that control the mirror! My first car didn't have a passenger side mirror (1976 Datsun 280Z), I never thought that I used that mirror, but now all I do is look over at it and feel very freakin' PISSED off!!!

This morning I stopped at a corner store that is not my "usual" just for convienence. The guy in front of me in line kept kind of turning around and looking at me. He was very strange and really just kind of gross. He bought his donuts and Skoal and walked out. I left shortly after. About a block down the street I was stopped at a turning light trying to call into work, and I hear a horn honk . . . I look over to my right . . . there's the nasty guy in his truck, straining his head out the window to shout some kind of obscenity, wave, and blow me a kiss . . . It just about ruined my week and I just wanted to come home and take a shower!!! Nasty, nasty, nasty.

Some of the people in my life think that I am a little mean to my friend Josh. They just don't, however, understand how much he irritates me! He can be somewhat entertaining sometimes, but in general, lately, well . . . I've been annoyed. Here's a perfect example. When watching TV or a movie or something, I do not feel the need to talk all the way through it. In fact, especially on a Sunday afternoon without Gabby, I like almost complete silence. If someone wants to share this silence, GREAT! If not, I'd rather be alone! So, yesterday afternoon, Josh came over and we were watching TV. I was just flipping through channels and stopped on a random movie. The following is what occurred . . .

Josh - "This is the movie about that affair."

Pause

Me - (silence)

Josh - "The one with Viggo."

Pause

Me - (silence)

Josh - "The one where he has the affair with that girl."

Pause

Me - (silence)

Josh - "Anna Paquin."

Josh - "The girl from the Piano."

Me - "SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!"

Mean, I know. But I couldn't take it anymore. These little spurts of nothingness that Josh felt the need to say. I think he really just likes the sound of his own voice. The real problem is, I think, that he was an only child, and left alone alot. I don't think he had anything better to do than keep himself entertained and talk to himself and his imaginary friends. So, now, as an adult, his thoughts, useless thoughts, just come spilling out of his mouth at a constant rate! I love you, Josh, but I can't take it! You should know, Mr. Movie Buff, that SILENCE IS GOLDEN!

Spellcheck wanted to replace "Fuck" with "Fuji". Spellcheck really sucks on blogger!

That last comment was supposed to go under the other post. Sorry.

My comment for this post is: ARE YOU PMSing OR WHAT?!
No, I'm not PMSing. Why? Do I sound like it?
Gabby watched half of Willy Wonka last night. She's gonna watch the other half tonight.

I would be so ticked off if someone broke anything on my car. I get peeved if someone even puts something under my windshield wiper. The freakin' nerve.
I am so pissed, Jeanette. I just see that damn thing waving in the wind as I'm driving down the highway!

How about Dan does he still live there?

I think the not being silent thing is a guy thing. Chris feels the need to make inappropriate jokes and comments through out the movie and at the most pivital moments. I hated him when watching the Notebook. At one point I was bawling my eyes out, screaming, "IF YOU SAY ANOTHER WORD, I AM GOING TO KICK YOU IN THE BALLS YOU A-HOLE".
Hey - Mary did pass on, but Harold, and Dan, and Harold's son David still live here. David moved in with Harold when they put Mary in the nursing home. I added you to my IM, BTW, did you get the message?

Anon - I know that Josh likes me. We've "discussed", but Josh and I are just best friends. Even though he annoys me to tears, I don't know what I'd do without him, but I don't want to ruin our friendship.

K - I wish it was just a guy thing in Josh's case, but sadly it isn't. He says these random things ALL THE TIME!!! It's like he can't stop thinking out loud. There's never a moment of silence.

Yes, you sounded PMSy. Did Gabby Finish the movie?
Jess - Oh. Well, I wasn't. Not PMSy, just me . . .
Yes, Gabby finished the movie. She loves it. She sang to Oompa Loompa song past the point of cuteness and onto the point of obnoxiousness.

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 ...
