Bulleted Update

~I'm still having a midlife crisis or whatnot, BUT . . .

~There are a lot of things I am really happy with
*My friend Andrea is coming over to hang out tonight - I'm excited about hanging out with a real girl instead of Josh (I still love you Josh)
*I'm having fun with JC, and just letting things flow (he's so awesome)
*It's cool that Andrea and JC are really good friends and I kind of have some new people to hang out with and get to know
*Did I mention how totally cute and awesome JC is

~I've had some really good emails from the AOC from thousands and thousands of miles away. It makes me feel really good that he at least is thinking about me while he's away.

~The summer shopping spree extravaganza was so much fun, and lots of bonding time with Gabby. Even though she found a ball to bounce through the entire store while we looked for clothes, and every minute I would say, "Gabby, you're killing me with that ball . . . KNOCK IT OFF!"

~My job is almost over . . . 2 weeks left to go

~I will be in Florida in two weeks. I really didn't want to go at first, but now I'm a little excited.

~I really need people to comment and tell me what a loser I am to make me get my ass in the gym.

~I have big plans for this weekend, and can hardly wait.

~I'm really really tan

~I'm really really feeling fat, so much so , that not even the tanning can cancel it out.

~If you take too many fish oil pills in a day is it bad for you? Do you start to smell like fish?

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 ...
