So...here I am...

...at my parent's again. I'm not quite sure what to say. I write up those darn blogs in my head everyday, but I have no where to put them...and alas they all disappear. I guess I better hurry up and bring my computer over to my dad though, so that I don't lose all my readers and internet buddies.

Let's see...what's been going on. JC's face is good...eye finally white again...scar above one eye that's still painful...and then he got his hair cut after Halloween, and there's a scar on the back of his head. I'm beginning to think that the biggest travesty of the whole thing is that it is now like he doesn't exist...you can't believe how hard it is to get anything like a SS card, birth certificate, etc...without having one of those things...it's rather ridiculous.

Did I mention Halloween in my last blog? I have pictures once I can get them downloaded. I was Peg Bundy...JC - Barry Gibb...Gabby - a vampire...what is it with kids today and their doom and gloom? What happened to my little girl who always wanted to be a pretty princess?

I've been hangin' with my sis a lot lately...well, it's probably only been a couple of times, but I had lots of fun. We went with Josh and saw Borat. If you can take it and not be offended...HILARIOUS! I watched The Very Long Engagement on my own...GREAT movie...I was surprised...not quite what I thought...and a little racey cameo of Jodi Foster. JC and I watched the Mad Max trilogy...and I made him watch the Color Purple...even though he said, "Whoa! If I'm going to have to watch these girl movies, can't you start me out with something a little less girly and heavy than the Color Purple?"

OMG!!! I forgot the most important thing that's been going on! Gabby slept in her own room...in her own bed...for 4 out of 5 days last week!!! Can you believe it? I can't! You wouldn't either if you knew the way she clings to me and scream bloody murder whenever I've tried to make her before...so much so that I've often been afraid that the upstairs neighbors would call CPS on me because they were probably thinking I was beating her. But after a little arguing, and one very sleepless night...she did it! It's kind of nice to look in her room and see her all snuggled up in her cute little girl room. However...almost every light in my house has burned out because we've had to leave them all on at night!

I can't even begin to tell you how great JC and I have been! The last couple of months there's been a lot less pressure and pulling from outside of our relationship, and it has really enabled us to concentrate on us. Lots of laughs, great talks, and of course, snuggling.

If I don't get to it...Happy Thanksgiving! I'm sure, hopefully sure...that I'll make it back to wish everyone a Merry Christmas!

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 ...
