Versatility

I feel like the world's worst daughter and sister. I haven't spent nearly enough time with my parents or my sister, especially my parents. I'm sure they're really mad at me, and probably miss Gabby like crazy. It's really hard to keep up with all the roles we take on in life: mother, sister, daughter, girlfriend, friend, student...

I'm soon going to introduce JC to my parents. I talked to my mom yesterday, and we're going to go have dinner at her house some Sunday soon. I'm a little nervous on both ends. I want JC to like my parents and vice versa.

That's pretty much it for me. Gabby and I stayed home all weekend. JC hung our for a little while yesterday and he's coming over to hang out again today. Yesterday my friend Brian from school, who I dated/but didn't date (it was weird) for a little while just showed up at my door. He graduated from the Air Force on Friday, so he showed up in his uniform and everything. It was really good to see him, and he made me feel really good. He gave me a whole speech, that made me a little uncomfortable, about me being part of the reason he was finally able to accomplish something in his life. I was a little embarrassed to see him because I've gained so much weight back, and he was always such a big supporter of my whole gym thing. But, he made my day by telling me that I still look good, etc. It's always nice to run into people from your past (well, sometimes), and know that there's someone out there that you're not that close to anymore, but they still car a hell of a lot about you.

There's the swagger, and that ever-present stogie. There's the height and heft of his physique.

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...

What is up?

Whew! I made it to my parent's house for once. My computer is still down, but it is my fault for not bringing it over to my dad's to get it fixed. It's kind of nice though to not always be so worried about checking my email or what not. I've been pretty busy. I was working my usually seasonal job for the last three weeks. Halloween happened, of course (pictures coming), and I've been interviewing like crazy. I'm going to be looking into temp jobs this week. I got a call from one, and she was going to put me into this once company that I've put in like 12 applications for. So, it might be easier for me to just find a temp-to-hire job. At least then I'll be relatively done with this whole interview crap. I don't even get nervous anymore...I just hate it. I'd rather sit in a bath tub full of frogs. Ok, maybe not that, but something else just as painful... I seriously had a blog written up in my head every single day for the last few wee...
