Sin City

Josh took Gabby and I out to dinner tonight to J.C's restaurant. I was afraid Josh was absolutley hating it because of all the "entertaining" that goes on there. And, the whole thing is kind of weird anyways. Every waiter comes by our table and sits down and chats it up for a bit, all the while trying to stay in character, and it's just weird to me that I get drunk with these people all the time.

Anyhoo . . . Josh's consulation is that I went to Best Buy with him. He was super nice and bought me the Sin City DVD, which when we checked out came with a comic book. When I dropped Josh off, Gabby asked if she could have the comic, Josh looked at me, and I said it was fine . . . BUT WAIT . . . then it hit me, why am I just handing this comic book over to my 7-year old daughter, so I said she could have it with the stipulation that I had to check it out first, and it's a damn good thing I did! The whole thing may be in black and white, and the characters aren't clear cut drawn, but it's easy enough for Gabby to figure out that there's a hooker lying in bed with a big fat naked man hovering above her . . . Josh said he already had the same comic, that's why he gave it to Gabby . . . SHEESH!!! People without kids, who have friends with kids, should have to take classes or something on how to be more kid friendly!

Been there. Everytime we leave from a family function, Matthew talks about how Uncle Robert needs to be grounded for his mouth. He lets the F bomb and everything else fly constantly.

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...
