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...

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...
