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!

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.
