Christmas is here!

Today has been really good. I was up at 7am after falling asleep at 5am because of this stupid muscle I've pulled in my neck! Ouch! I just couldn't find one position that I wouldn't be hurting in. Gabby had a great Christmas morning. Santa Claus brought her a Nintendo DS. So that's been exciting.

We're about to have a family dinner with prime rib roast, and then I'm going to take Gabby to her dad's. Then...I'll go home I guess. I don't have anything to do tonight, but I should probably stay home anyway. I need to do some laundry, and I need to leave around 8am to drive to Dallas. Call me Schwenk! I miss JC something crazy! I know, it's silly, sappy, and weird, but I just miss him when I can't even talk to him on the phone.

Hopefully I'll make it back here when I get back from Dallas on the 27th. JC and I have another Christmas party on the 28th. This has been a very full, eventful holiday season.

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...

Has anyone ever told you you look like . . . ? If I have to hear someone tell me one more time that I look like Ann Margaret...I will SCREAM...or worse yet, Fergie!!! The only thing I have in common with these two women is the color of my hair!!! What was the other one I've heard?...Julianne Moore (or however it's spelled). I realize there aren't that many redheads in the world...and I realize that some people have this overwhelming need to compare the way people look to someone famous...but PLEASE!!!???...don't just go by the color of someone's hair
