Elizabeth's New Groove

I'm kind of getting back into the groove of feeling like part of my own life again. Getting up at 5am isn't so hard anymore. I've been eating much better, although making it to the gym has been rough. Gabby only has 3 more tutoring sessions though, and then that won't be taking up too much of our time.

I went and got my layers cut back into my hair, and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!! It's much shorter than usual, but it's all messy and crazy and I love that.

I recently hooked up with a really old, really, really good friend from high school, and post high school on MySpace, Steve, and it's been really cool being able to talk to him again...even though my emails are few and far between because I STILL have not gotten my computer fixed, but ya know...I really haven't missed it that much.

I'm here at my parent's house with the real intention of signing up for my stupid Defensive Driving class I have to take for that ticket I got.

JC and I have been listening to audiobooks in the car. It's kind of cheesy and fun. I don't have much to say about JC and me at the moment...trust me you would puke...I guess I'm happy, and just don't have much to say...other than I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE him ...as much as my new hair cut...LOL.

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...

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...

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.
