Poolside

Mi-Mi, J.C. (Obi-Wan), and I spent the day by the pool on Monday. Mi-Mi bought a boat that she's planning on using when we go tubing, but first we had to try it out. This picture is J.C. running and jumping onto the newly invented "SpeedRacer". We hung for hours until it started to rain. Then we had fun holding towels up to our faces and making "mean eyes" . . . as you probably can tell it wasn't really fun . . . just boredom taking over.
Things have been going well. I've waited too long to post to remember everything fun that has happened. So, this will be a quick little update. I've been out way too much and drinking way too much, and probably having too much fun . . . if that's possible. I think I fall more in love with J.C. everyday that I spend with him. The word "forever" has come up a few times.

I have 3 weeks left of "summer" before I have to go back to work and school. I'm actually a little excited about my last semester. I have some really good classes lined up. I'm taking a full load even though I only need 9 hours. And I think I've decided in the Spring to continue with getting my Master's.

I have so sucked at going to the gym lately, and I'm feeling really horrible about myself these days. But, with all the other good stuff going on I haven't focused on it too much, but I need to.

My sister and brother-in-law will also be moving here in about 2 weeks. I can't wait! I only hope they will get along with J.C. and crowd . . .

This is the SS Super Floater that Mi-Mi and Obi-Wan built out of three floatation devices. I think that's the name we finally decided on. They were in love with it, and I thought it was the most uncomfortable thing on earth, and begged to have my King Chair untied and back to normal!

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.
