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.
Hey, great blog here! I'm definitely going to bookmark you!

I have a Mesothelioma Lawsuit site. It pretty much covers Mesothelioma Lawsuit related stuff.
Come and check it out if you get the time. :-)

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 ...
