What's Up?

Not a lot going on in my little world. What have I been up to?

1. Work. Still love my job. We're kind of slow right now, and I wish I had something a little more challenging to do, but hey, I could be absolutely hating it, so I won't complain.

2. Spending lots of time by the pool. I'm pretty damn dark. My pool was just converted to a salt water pool, and it's pretty cool. Well, you can't really tell, except it tastes gross on your lips...but your hair and skin do really feel better than with chlorine.

3. Gabby gets bigger and bigger everyday. Mom bought her some pretty racey bikinis, but I'm trying to go with it. I don't want to be "uncool". LOL. I become more and more uncool in her eyes everyday.

4. My 31st birthday is upon me. I will officially be IN my 30's. Oh well.

5. Celebrating on Saturday for my B-day. My friend Tybor's band, the Twilights, are playing at this cool little bar, and they're amazing. I wouldn't want to spend my birthday any other way.

5. I read the Twilight book series in 4 days. Yep, all three of them. I'm obsessed. Can't wait for the movie.

6. Still have horrible insomnia. I should be asleep by now.

7. I love Bloody Marys.

8. I suck at making it to the gym. Ray Ray the Killer probably hates me.

9. That's all.

Girl, you are in your prime!!!! Being in your 30s means you'll be taken more seriously than you were in your 20s. And it just keeps getting better. It also means you have to grow up. That's probably the hardest part!

It's also all about your attitude. I'll be 38 this year but I can't WAIT to throw my 40th birthday party in two years. The only sad thing about it is that my mom is gone and I won't be able to share the moment with her in our usual way. But I still have a crowd of friends of love ones and friends here who will help me hit 40 with a bang!

The thing I've learned most since I've gotten older and lost my mom is that taking risks in life is even more important now than ever. You realize how precarious life really is. Complacency just doesn't have a place in it because things always change, and you have to learn to embrace those changes whether you want to or not. My mom did nothing but play it safe and always played by the rules. I plan to REINVENT the rules!

Cyber hugs!

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.
