I hate my hair.

Who knew that so much confidence and self-esteem could be held up in hair!? Who knew that even when you gain 60lbs and feel disgusting, that it would be your hair that was keeping you going and feeling like you had a little sex appeal left?! I hate my new haircut! I can't wait until it grows out! It's not even so much the length, it's that fact that all my layers are gone, and my hair is all one length now. I hate it, hate it, hate it. If I can get it together in the next few days, I'll post some pictures from Christmas and you'll see. You'll hate it, too! I feel 10 years older. Seriously. With all this weight I've added on, this haircut makes me feel like a serious soccer mom.

With that...I'm off to an interview and then to the gym.

Liz, don't you dare cut a lot of the length!!! You'll regret it, trust me!

I'm just now getting mine to grow back. I won't be doing THAT chopping off stuff anytime soon.

I already did cut ALL of the length. It's just below my shoulders...all of it. I'm used to my shortest layers being that short, but not the rest of it. I just don't like the way it's kind of Prince Valient looking if you know what I mean. Just a couple more weeks, and I'm getting the layers cut back in it! Woo Hoo!!!

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
