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.

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 ...
