-I was just online attacked out of no where by the AOC! Weird! We've had a couple of emails back and forth, but maybe only like 5 or 6 since I met JC. It was a really weird conversation, and I was sooooo uncomfortable!

So, I got home around midnight last night from Jessica's wedding weekend extravaganza, and extravaganza it was! I think I'll let her go into details on her blog because I'm still recovering and tired. It was so much fun though, and the ceremony was so beautiful. Yes, I cried. I think tomorrow I might have to go sit in a sauna to sweat out all the alcohol. JC picked me up from the airport, and we came back to my house. I got in bed for two seconds, and was just feeling really, really weird. I was exhausted, but at the same time really ancy...had too much to say, too much to do, and just weird. So, I decided I should go along with "the hair of the dog" theory. I thought maybe if we went out and had just one or two beers I would feel a little better, pass out, and wake up not so hung over. It kind of worked. We met up with Mr. Incredible at Coco Beach and ended up having way too many Goldschlagger shots. Or should I say way to LARGE Goldschlagger shots. But it was fine. I passed out all the same.

I arrived on Thursday. Stayed up talking with the girls having some wine. Friday was the rehearsal and dinner, Saturday the wedding, and I came home on Sunday. Thursday and Saturday were the days that I drank the most, and I'm a little worried about anything I might have said or done. I know that on Saturday I went to bed, called JC, and he kept hanging up on me. And when I would call him back and tell him he was being a jerk, he just kept saying, "Elizabeth, you passed out on me. You have fallen asleep like 4 or 5 times. Just go to bed!" I woke up with my phone still opened next to my ear the next morning.

It was really great. And I met a lot of great people, and hung out with other great people that I've met before. Jessica has the greatest family ever!

So, today I had an interview for a job that I really, really wanted. Not so much anymore. I dressed up, put on some heels and pearls. JC said I was looking very corporate. Then I headed to the interview. I should have worn jeans, chewed some tobacco and spit it out on their floor. It was for this oil company where there were nothing but good ol' Texas boys working there. Part of the job would entail doing some field work on a ranch. Fine. But I'm sure I gave them the impression that I wouldn't be very good at that with my pearls. I would be the only woman and the only person under 40 in the office if I got the job. I don't think I want it.

I'll post pictures soon, and maybe recover some stories from my brain at a later date.

Good to be home though. Somewhat. I hate my apartment and long for the nice clean room I had in the B&B! Picked up Gabby tonight and we're spending some time together. Time to get back in the routine with her and her school.

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...
"He's Just Not THAT Into You" Sheesz...did someone really need to write this book? Why couldn't women just be left alone in their lonesome deceiving torture upon themselves. No, really...seriously...we like not knowing the truth and playing games with our own minds. What will we have to talk about with our friends if we can't say, "What do you think he meant by this?" If everytime you have to question a man's motives or make excuses for him, and the answer to everything is simply, "He's just not all that into you"...there will be no glimmer of hope...none whatsoever...a girl won't even be able to fool herself into thinking that she can ever possibly find someone. I know I know I know...the truth hurts, and the truth also sets you free...but you'll have to be very secure in yourself and not prone to beating yourself up in order for the truth to really set you free...otherwise the truth only makes it harder to move on. So, thi...
