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!

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...

Time to Share? I have a huge crush. I have a huge crush on a man I've never met in person. I have a huge crush on a man who does things that are very cool. Yesterday in the mail I got the book that he sent me...the book that he wrote...a book about all of his travels and adventures. The more I read this book, the less confident I start to feel about this being a possible "match". I have no idea what I can offer this older, more sophisticated, more worldly man. The biggest adventures in my life are grappling with 18-year old freshmen for a parking space at school, finishing a set of push-ups and pull-ups at the gym, or wrestling my daughter to the ground for a bath. Maybe I can teach him all about Sponge-Bob Square Pants? This is again one of those times where things seem too good to be true. The emails we send back and forth would suggest that there is a great interest and curiosity on both sides, and that something really good could possibly come from this!!! His ...
