Girls Day Out

So, any of us with significant others kicked them to the curb and spent a girls day out together. Becky, Andrea, and I went to brunch at Druther's. Never been there, but it was to die for! Then we met up with Kelly and Joy to go to the Japanese Tea Gardens. Hadn't been there in years. Took lots of pics. Can't wait to see the ones Becky took. She made me be in most of them since it was decided I was the most photogenic. Awww...how nice. The Gardens are right next to the zoo so we decided to take a ride on the train that goes around Breckenridge Park and the zoo, which I have never done before. We sat up in the front near the "conductor", and laughed our asses off. He was so freakin' hilarious.

Joy had to leave, but Becky, Kelly, Andrea, and I had dinner at Alamo Cafe, and then we headed back to my apartment where we played the Wii for a couple of hours and then tried to learn the So Jo Boy dance. Good times.

Gabby's dad actually drove her home for once, and that was really, really nice. Now she's in bed, and I'm on my way there. Great day.

My pictures from the Tea Gardens are below. And, make sure to look at the post after that. I finally got some of the better pics from the Bachelorette Party.

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...
