Great Day!

I woke up this morning and had my usual morning routine when I'm not in school or working or anything...bagel, coffee, OJ, and then I read for like 2 hours. I fell asleep thanks to all the medication I'm on, and had some crazy dreams. I woke up and read for another hour or so, picked Gabby up from school, and headed to JC's to pick him up. It's his day off from his usual job, so we actually got to spend some quality time together. Gabby did her homework, and then headed off to her friend's house upstairs...and I will admit, even though it might me sound like a horrible parent, that JC and I used that time to have the some true "quality time", which is kind of fun when you're trying to be sneaky and quick and stuff...then we laid on the couch together, him reading his book, and me reading mine...I got the better end of the deal though with a complete foot massage...Then we kind of had some serious relationship talks, which has been happening a lot lately, but I think it's good. I have a lot of stuff that I have to "get over" from past relationships, and he's been so sweet and understanding in letting me just work through it. He was a little upset though because I have a hard time believing that he loves me as much as he says he does and that he's as attracted to me as he says he is. It has nothing to do with him. It's just a lot of old crap. Then Mi-Mi came over and we ate dinner, and talked, Gabby came home from her friend's and watched Fantasia with JC while Mi-Mi and I chatted on the porch. It was a really nice relaxing eveing with my daughter, the love of my life, and one of my best friends. Couldn't ask for more. Mi-Mi and JC left to go out and do karaoke tonight, and Gabby and I are off to bed...well, she's already asleep. I'm waiting for the Vicodin to kick in. I'm a little afraid that I might become seriously addicted to this stuff. I think JC is, too, especially when he told me last night that he would rather I just buy a bottle of wine to drink and sleep than to keep taking more and more painkillers. I'm just gonna have to wean myself off of them a little bit.

This weekend is my Gabby-free weekend, and I can't wait to be able to actually spend the entire night wrapped up safe and snug in JC's arms...sappy, I know. Josh's birthday is Saturday, and I need to think of something to do for that. I think we're going to Charlie Brown's for karaoke on Friday night. I haven't done that in a while, so it should be fun. Not that I ever "do" karaoke...I just sit there and watch JC with goo-goo eyes, as Mi-Mi says...in fact, I think she threatened to punch me if I did it again one night...LOL...

I've really been neglecting this once very important blog...I love the design from desinablog, but now I'm thinking that it's a little too "dark" for me...I might do it again, and get them to do something a little brighter.

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...

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...

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...
