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...
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...
