Happy Friday Morning

I am positively giddy as a school girl this morning!...Lazy, but giddy nonetheless. Summer is my favorite season, but I DO love it when the weather starts to change and get colder...I'll probably be sick of it in a couple of weeks, but that's the beauty of living in San Antonio...1 week of really cold weather in the winter, and then a week of sunshine. It works out perfectly. I traded in my coffee for hot chocolate this morning.

After last night's screaming fest from Gabby and me, we woke up this morning, both of us, in good moods, and had a great time laughing instead...except when I had to pull all the tangles out of her hair at which point she screamed bloody murder. It's not my fault she sleeps like a wild animal, and refuses to put it up when she goes to bed. Anyway, I'm glad we're back on "good" terms. I hate sending her to her dad's when we've been fighting.

So, I'm gonna finish this computer stuff up...um...and then I think I will go back to sleep for a little bit, even though I keep telling myself not to. I'm scheduled to have lunch with Josh today at JC's second job restaurant. I'm not a big fan of that place's food, but Josh loves it there, and he's so damn excited that he has an excuse he can use to drag me there.

Thne I'll take Gabby to her dad's, come home and get ready to go out I guess. I still don't know what we're doing tonight. It was supposed to be karaoke at Charlie Brown's, but no one has any money, and some people are feeling kind of tired and lazy. I don't care...I'm up for anything. All I care about is getting out of my house, having some fun, and being able to spend every night this weekend sleeping with my boyfriend, whether in his bed or mine...ok, I prefer mine, and will beg if I have to. It's not his fault...he's not a girl. He doesn't care about the differences in his blankets and my goose down comforter and feather pillows.

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...

Constant Construction

I don't know how non-ADD brains, non-anxiety riddled bodies handle living in this type of chaos, but I can tell you that with ADD and anxiety, this construction chaos paralyzes me.  All I want to do is run away and travel instead of just buckling down and getting it completed.   It's been years of living in some sort of disarray.  That hole in my ceiling has been an ongoing project for nearly 10 years.  Something my estranged husband was supposed to handle, but never did.  So, I hired a guy from Thumbtack, who got the job done, eventually.  He could definitely strengthen his time management skills.   Big changes coming for this room.  Change is slow to come in this household, but I still hold out hope everyday that it will speed up.
