The Wedding

I've written many blogs about all the festivities leading up to my good friends Kevin and Becky's wedding, but I never got around to posting about the actual wedding day. One reason was probably because I was barely there.

We partied really hard the night before. At some point I was in a bathtub, and I think, but I'm not sure I hit my head really hard. Woke the next day with a bump on my head and felt like crap. I made it through the beautiful ceremony, and that was about it. Kevin and Becky had bought special bottles of wine that they were going to use for their "guestbook". It was a really neat idea, but they left the bottles at their apartment.

So, they asked me to go get them. I jumped in Kelly's car and went to get them. At which point I started feeling so sick and queasy and like I was going to pass out, and in a general state of panic. I think after looking some stuff up that I had a concussion. On the way to their apartment, Kevin called and said, "Um, you know that Marriage Certificate that we need to have signed to be officially married? Well, it's still at the apartment, too." So, I grabbed everything. Took 5 minutes to try to recover in their kitchen eating chips, and went back to the reception, but I didn't make it. I had to have my sister come pick me up, but I didn't feel so bad leaving since I kind of did save the day. I ended up having to leave work the next day, too. It really sucked.

So, anyway, below are their Engagement pictures and Wedding pictures. Of course, I'm not in any of them. I love the photographer they used.

Oh, and there's another post with pictures from our excursion to the Japanese Tea Gardens below that.

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...

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...
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...
