-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.

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.
