I freakin' LOVE it!

I found myself a new jewelry store. Compass Trading Company. I can't get enough. I've already been twice this week. I love finding new pieces of jewelry for every outfit I own. It's kind of like Claire's, but not as cheap and not as "kiddie". Much more mature stuff, but still along Claire's prices.

Worked out today. I can't believe Ray Ray still wants to continue our workouts together. He's been doing it now for almost a year...for FREE! I love him. I have some new motivation to keep up this eating right and working out. For one I have a new person in my life who is also super motivated, just joined my gym, and is so good he actually goes on a Friday evening!

Not a lot else going on. Tomorrow I'm getting my taxes done, and then Kelly and Dre are coming over to watch LOST. Well, maybe just Kelly. Dre's had pneumonia for the past week. Going to the gym before I do my taxes. Going to the gym on Thursday and Friday.

I have a three day weekend, and Gabby's going to her dad's. Not sure what I'm going to do, but I hope I can get out and use some of the features on my camera that I've never tried. I've been playing around with Photoshop, too. Learning how to do cool shit. Andrea's really good at it, and she's been giving me some pointers. I would love to take a digital photography class.

I also need to find my stupid USB thingy for my MP3 player. I need some new stuff for the gym. Today I was listening to some really old Christina and Britney. Blah.

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...

What is up?

Whew! I made it to my parent's house for once. My computer is still down, but it is my fault for not bringing it over to my dad's to get it fixed. It's kind of nice though to not always be so worried about checking my email or what not. I've been pretty busy. I was working my usually seasonal job for the last three weeks. Halloween happened, of course (pictures coming), and I've been interviewing like crazy. I'm going to be looking into temp jobs this week. I got a call from one, and she was going to put me into this once company that I've put in like 12 applications for. So, it might be easier for me to just find a temp-to-hire job. At least then I'll be relatively done with this whole interview crap. I don't even get nervous anymore...I just hate it. I'd rather sit in a bath tub full of frogs. Ok, maybe not that, but something else just as painful... I seriously had a blog written up in my head every single day for the last few wee...
