I hate Jess!

No, just kidding. I don't have a lot to say about YOU, Jess, silly! I can't even remember all that I wanted to say yesterday! Right now I'm just stallling because I don't have that much to do at work, today.

1. I have the most adorable kittens EVER! But, just like Gabby, they are growing so fast! I used to be able to hold them with just one hand, but not anymore. They have some very strange habits that one day, when I don't feel embarassed by it (like it's my fault), I will write a post about.

2. Last weekend I kind of buried the hatchet with my friend Andrea. I never blogged about it, but we had a falling out sometime after Jess' wedding last year. I'm happy she's back in my life.

3. I don't want men in my life anymore. Friends or otherwise. At least not right now. I need more women in my life. Unfortunately they're actually hard to come by.

4. I got a pedicure yesterday. I love pedicures! It's not eventhat your toenails look pretty...they feel CLEAN! It's a weird feeling, but by the time they scrub your feet, and cut off all that dead skin...your feet feel alive again. Especially if you wear god awful heels everyday like I do. I went a little wild and got a red-tipped French.

5. I'm going to Colorado tomorrow!!!

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
