Stay Away!

Things I need to learn to just say no to:

1. http://www.dooce.com/ Not the whole blog. I just need to stop reading the monthly newsletters to her daughter. I'm on my tenth keyboard from crying so hard and dripping all over the space bar!

2. Bagels!

3. Bagels!

4. Boys who do not treat me like the princess I am. Josh has seriously spoiled me!

5. My bed in the middle of the day.

6. Movies like the Color Purple. They turn me into a huge ball of mush that never wants to leave my bed again. Especially if followed up by Forest Gump.

7. Men who shave their entire bodies. What am I thinking? (But, GOD, he's hot!)

8. Pink purses!

9. The chocolate jar at work.

10. My mother's kitchen. Her house should be called the House of Regression. Everytime I'm there I resort back to "fat girl eating mode". I will look in that refridgerator 100 times before I finally have to announce to my parents that they make me fat and I'm taking my still "in shape" kid and leaving!

I wish I could keep up like I used to, but maybe it's a good thing! Am I adding a bit of the suspense factor? lol

I just haven't had the time. My life now is pretty much work, school, gym, back to school, home, sleep, work, school, gym, back to school, home, sleep . . . .

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...

What is up?

Whew! I made it to my parent's house for once. My computer is still down, but it is my fault for not bringing it over to my dad's to get it fixed. It's kind of nice though to not always be so worried about checking my email or what not. I've been pretty busy. I was working my usually seasonal job for the last three weeks. Halloween happened, of course (pictures coming), and I've been interviewing like crazy. I'm going to be looking into temp jobs this week. I got a call from one, and she was going to put me into this once company that I've put in like 12 applications for. So, it might be easier for me to just find a temp-to-hire job. At least then I'll be relatively done with this whole interview crap. I don't even get nervous anymore...I just hate it. I'd rather sit in a bath tub full of frogs. Ok, maybe not that, but something else just as painful... I seriously had a blog written up in my head every single day for the last few wee...
