I'm in La-La Land

Thursday night was the night that I took Gabby to Obi-Wan's restaurant so they could meet each other. It was also the first night that I would be seeing him in his full Star Wars regalia. Gabby, Velma, Mi-Mi, and I got to the restaurant and were completely catered to. Obi-Wan and Gabby warmed right up to each other. He had her laughing, and my daughter was completely flirting with my boyfriend. Up to this point though she didn't know he was my boyfriend. Every character in the restaurant came by to say hello to Gabby and me. It was very nice (and the fried shrimp with lemon butter was DELICIOUS...thank you, baby!). The balloon lady wouldn't even let us tip her because Gabby was the daughter of Obi-Wan's girlfriend. It was so much fun. Even Mi-Mi who can be bored easily seemed to be having a blast. After we left, Obi-Wan said that everyone said really nice things about both Gabby and me.

On Saturday, Obi-Wan came over and went swimming with Gabby and me. It was unbelievable the way she just ran up and hugged him after she had only met him once. I'm feeling a little uneasy about it because it seems a little fast, but I am learning not to overanalyze so much.

Saturday night everyone went out to see Mr. Incredible's band play. Josh was supposed to go with us, but he got tired and bailed. Before that, though, Josh and I went and had dinner at THE restaurant so that Obi-Wan and Josh could meet. Everything seemed to go well. I'm sure Josh really wanted to make fun of Obi-Wan in his costume with his British accent, but he refrained and only said good things.

Sunday Obi-Wan and I went swimming with Gabby again. Mostly Gabby swam, I laid in the sun, and Obi-Wan laid in the shade (his Irish skin just can't take it) and read his book. We were out there for like 6 hours. Then we all ended up taking a nap together. Gabby found out this day that Obi-Wan is my boyfriend, and I'm still not sure how she's handling it. She seems a little jealous. It really may have been too fast, but she does really like him, so I don't know what's up.

Tomorrow I'm going tubing again. Tomorrow is also mine and Obi-Wan's one month anniversary. It seems like so much longer or shorter...I don't know! This has been the most awesome whirlwind I have ever experienced, and it just keeps getting better. I love him more and more everyday that I talk to him, see him, think about him....Gabby goes to her dad's again this weekend, so I have another 5 days of being able to wake up with Obi-Wan Kenobi. I can't wait. Puddles of drool, puffy eyes, beer breath, morning coughs, morning baby voices ... it all sounds glorious to me!!!

This picture was taken on the first night that I really hung out with the Cape Crusaders. It was the first night that I looked at J.C. (Obi-Wan) and said, "Hmmm, he's really cute, nice, and funny..." (I'd met him before). A couple of weeks later, and we started dating. J.C. is on the far left (before spiky, highlight hair and goatee), next is Mi-Mi, then my friend David from school, Little Matty, and in the corner behind me is Mr. Incredible.

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...

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...

Constant Construction

I don't know how non-ADD brains, non-anxiety riddled bodies handle living in this type of chaos, but I can tell you that with ADD and anxiety, this construction chaos paralyzes me.  All I want to do is run away and travel instead of just buckling down and getting it completed.   It's been years of living in some sort of disarray.  That hole in my ceiling has been an ongoing project for nearly 10 years.  Something my estranged husband was supposed to handle, but never did.  So, I hired a guy from Thumbtack, who got the job done, eventually.  He could definitely strengthen his time management skills.   Big changes coming for this room.  Change is slow to come in this household, but I still hold out hope everyday that it will speed up.
