Blog Anniversary

So, it was a year ago yesterday that I started this damn thing. Jessie, who has been my best friend since we were 15, started one, and I thought I would give it a whirl, too. It started as something I wasn't sure about, and then quickly turned into something I couldn't live without. I became obsessed. Then for a while I it became something that I felt like I HAD to do. Now, I'm so happy, and things are going so well, and this has become something I want to do, to vent, to self express, to cope, and to register all the memories I have in the making. I've decided to do a kind of Top Ten favorite blog posts for my anniversary. Jessie did the same thing, and I thought, "How appropiate that I should steal her idea since I started this thing by stealing her idea as well, and many a post I have been a tricksy blog thief."

1. Beyond My Current Life - this was my very first tantrum ridden post. There were many more to come, but this was the first time I let it all hang out.

2. Aaron . . . Beauty or Beast? - I talked a lot in those early days about my torturous trainer Aaron, and this is the post that gave him the name Aaron the Beast for any post that followed. Gawd, I miss him!

3. Has anyone ever told you you looke like . . . ? - okay, I'm only adding this one because it still continues to happen, and because Jessie, in the comments, told me that I do really look like a young Ann Margaret and she's hot . . . I can be all about the ego boosts sometimes!

4. Time to Share? - the beginnings of my never ending posts about the AOC.

5. My Ever Funny Daughter - Gabby can be pretty entertaining, and apparently her antics were funny to all in this post.

6. Do you wash your candles? - Mom's pretty entertaining, too.

7. I can be very anal . . . - an example of any number of my crazy rants.

8. Worst Week Ever, "When it rains, it pours.", and Torn and Tattered - these three posts are from one of the worst weeks that I had ever had, and I just think it's funny how upset I was at the time, and things could have been a lot worse, but boy was I pissed off!

9. Trauma - the day my life changed as I knew it, and I'm not so sure that I'm still not over it. I haven't been to the gym in a month and a half (partly due to my new boyfriend), and I'm still blaming it all on the fact that Aaron the Beast left me high and dry!

10. SanDisk - probably the beginning of the end with the AOC, even though I let it continue on till the present.

. . . .this is obviously going past a Top Ten List, and you better not say a word about it!!! . . . .

11. Mc - Mc - McCheese - this post seemed to cause some concern.

12. Josh the fairy boy . . . or funny man?, Josh . . . Just Plain Dumb?, Parental Advisory Warning!, Toyota Corrola, In the left corner we have . . ., and . . . 5 Bottles of Beer on the Wall . . . - these 6 posts are some of my favorites because they're all about my best friend Josh who annoys me to tears, but I couldn't live without, and we've had some pretty good times, too!

13. Something old, something new . . . - just a list to let me know what was important to me at one point in time.

14. Where the hell are you goin? - everyone tried to steal my boots!

15. Does Anyone but Jessica and My Sister Actually Read This?? - I was feeling low, and I got much love in the comments section!

16. Josh is Smoking CRACK! - EGO BOOST!

17. Shopping Sprees & Toothpaste Capris - I just personally really enjoy this post, but it's really just another rant.

18. Stay Away! - another list.

19. Did you know the Tooth Fairy is a drunken, paryting whore? - My ever funny daughter, again!

20. Is this the end? - my dying hamster seemed to generate a lot of concern from jessie and her sister, Min Pin Momma.

21. Sunday Morning Hungover Hat Fun - the beginnings of Obi-Wan Kenobe

22. One More Thing This Morning - just weird and funny.

23. Is it morning? - I just personally love this post.

24. New Things That I Love - another list!

25. "Tonight's the night . . . " - the latest list . . .

Sheesh! I guess this is a Top 25! Gawd! Why have you people never told me how long winded I am!!!???

. . . . are you dying to know how the meeting between Gabby and Obi-Wan went last night? . . . .

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...
