Movies Suck

There should be some sort of special button on TVs that when you push it it blocks out any programs you might see when you're in a certain frame of mind. Like say tonight I could have blocked out Dirty Dancing, Pretty Woman, and City of Angels...all of which aren't the best things to watch when you're trying to get over heartbreak. I mean what can be done when you're presented with songs like the Roxette song from Pretty Woman, that Goo Goo Dolls song, and of course, "She's Like the Wind"???

You should listen to songs like the disco song "I Will Survive" and "Legend of a Cowgirl" by Imani Coppola (1997), and "Open My Heart" by Yolanda Adams. Watch movies like "The Green Mile" to remember what's good in the world, "Storm of the Century" to remember that you're not that bad of a person, and "Driving Miss Daisy" because that fiesty old lady is just as sweet as pie once you break through her layers.

I like to watch "The Green Mile" because I know all the words of the character Wild Bill, and he's a little shit!!! He's a bad guy, but still funny.

My mom despises the movie "Pretty Woman" because she hates that it glamorizes prostitution. Lighten up, mom!

Were you imagining JC and you in the water and him lifting you above his head, like on Dirty Dancing?

Jacq - I've been tryig not to listen to ANY music!! LOL...but those songs just happened to be in those stupid movies! I LOVE the Green Mile!

Jessie - No, I wasn't...I actually only watched the part with the "She's Like the Wind" song...I was too busy with the other movies.

All those songs in DIRTY DANCING remind me of my senior year of high school. But I ABSOLUTELY HATE "I've had the time of my life." That was our class song. GAY!!!! That movie came out before Jennifer Grey, aka *Baby*, got a nose job and then no one recognized who she was!!!

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...

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.
