LOOK, JESSIE! TWO POST IN A ROW!

More pictures! It's the easiest thing for me to do right now when I have nothing to say...

Pool party at Kevin and Becky's...Tybor holds up a bottle of Smirnoff that came right out of the cooler like this...They should pay us for a commercial.


I didn't go, but maybe next year....Andrea went with Becky and Joy (directly below) and Kevin, Tybor, and Andy (below that) to Ren Fair. They're so cute all dressed up!




One of the professors from where Andrea works held a Kentucky Derby Party (Kentucky Derby attire not expected, but appreciated). So, we found it a good excuse to buy ridiculous, fabulous hats. It was so much fun! Complete with Mint Julep hour and betting on the horses. Even though the actual race is like 2 seconds...and even though the poor filly Eight Belles broke her ankles and had to be put down...it was still fun, and I definitely want to do it again next year.






Just Andrea and Andy hanging out one night at Charlie Brown's.





A couple of months ago, I decided to "go for it", and get blonde highlights and side swept bangs, which is what has now morphed into the picture of my new bangs and highlights in the previous post. But this is what it originally looked like.

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...
