Home At Last . . . Damn!

I will be spending the night in my own house tonight for the first time all weekend. This Memorial Day weekend will go down in my book as one of the greatest EVER! Except now I'm sick. Too much drinking, not enough food or water . . . oh, and I met a really cute boy that I like a WHOLE lot. He's a Cancer just like me, and it really is kind of scary how much he IS pretty much . . . me! This is the same guy from the last post, and the post about me being forced to take shots - JC. I don't know where this is going, and I probably really shouldn't be posting about this, but I can't help myself. I am cheesy grinning all over the place. And I've hung out with some of the coolest, most awesome people I have ever met in my life! Went to some bars downtown here on the Riverwalk last night. All these people I've met are so friendly, and just like very welcoming, even though I felt like I was intruding a little. My friend Andrea is really the only one that I knew pretty well, and JC because I had met him a couple of times before...but everyone else was still hugging me goodbye by the end of the night (maybe because we were all wasted), and another friend of theirs was like, "Well, this is like the fifth time that I've met and hung out with you, so I guess we're on our way to being best friends now." Just really really nice, fun people.

Email from the AOC this weekend as well. LOVE THAT! BUT . . . who knows what could happen now. If I continue liking this new guy, JC, and start liking him even more, what will happen when the AOC is finally free to be able to meet up. No matter what, I think I've invested too much time in this whole AOC thing to not meet him, but I just don't know anymore. It's easier to put him on the backburner when I have someone right here in person who I'm finding myself absolutely adoring.

I'm pulling for the local dude. If nothing else he can maybe wein you off of the AOC.

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...
Has anyone ever told you you look like . . . ? If I have to hear someone tell me one more time that I look like Ann Margaret...I will SCREAM...or worse yet, Fergie!!! The only thing I have in common with these two women is the color of my hair!!! What was the other one I've heard?...Julianne Moore (or however it's spelled). I realize there aren't that many redheads in the world...and I realize that some people have this overwhelming need to compare the way people look to someone famous...but PLEASE!!!???...don't just go by the color of someone's hair
