Christmas Eve

I'm over at my parent's. Gabby went to church with Mom and Dad. I'm waiting for my sister to get here. I need to wrap one more present for Gabby...I'm licking all the left over homemade carrot cake frosting out of the bowl. JC left me, and is in Dallas. Miss him. I'm leaving on the 26th to drive out there.

JC and I went out a lot the last couple of days. His little brother was in town, and we met up with him a couple of times. I don't know what the hell was wrong with me this week, but I definitely didn't behave as I normally would. I said things I shouldn't have, I acted in ways I shouldn't have (don't get any dirty thoughts...it wasn't that kind of "acting"!). I slept wrong the other night, and I've had this "kink" in my neck, so I've been self medicating with LOTS of pain pills...and that probably wasn't such a good reaction maker when I was drinking. I mean I was rude to people that I really like, and have no business being rude to. I did learn something though. Something about trusting my gut instincts. I will never again compromise how I feel when I am truly believing in my self, and what I think is right.

So, anyway, I don't have a lot to say. I think I just really want to go smoke a cigarette before my mom gets back.

Rain, rain go away...you're messing up my hair!

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 ...
