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? . . . .

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...
"He's Just Not THAT Into You" Sheesz...did someone really need to write this book? Why couldn't women just be left alone in their lonesome deceiving torture upon themselves. No, really...seriously...we like not knowing the truth and playing games with our own minds. What will we have to talk about with our friends if we can't say, "What do you think he meant by this?" If everytime you have to question a man's motives or make excuses for him, and the answer to everything is simply, "He's just not all that into you"...there will be no glimmer of hope...none whatsoever...a girl won't even be able to fool herself into thinking that she can ever possibly find someone. I know I know I know...the truth hurts, and the truth also sets you free...but you'll have to be very secure in yourself and not prone to beating yourself up in order for the truth to really set you free...otherwise the truth only makes it harder to move on. So, thi...
