Busy,

Work has been crazy busy so far this week. Last weekend was pretty busy, too. Gabby spent the weekend at her dad's. They always have a big "to do" about Easter, so it was probably a lot more fun for her over there.

Thursday night I had dinner with this guy I've been dating. Not just some guy. The guy I've been dating. For the purposes of this blog he will be known as P-Dub because I can't say his name. Then we spent the rest of the evening here at my apartment.

Woke up Friday and hung around here. Then I met up with Andrea and had delicious Steam Pots at Joe's Crab Shack. Came back here when she had to go back to work. P-Dub and I did some driving around and browsed through Best Buy and Rooms-2-Go. Then headed out to dinner with his mom, stepdad, sister, his sister's girlfriend, his uncle, and his uncle's girlfriend. We had Vietnamese. I got freaked out. P-Dub was smart and got Pho...which looked delicious. I tried in in VA and really liked it, except the meat freaked me out. But then again, most Asian meats freaked me out. But the meat in his Pho looked pretty decent. My Lemongrass chicken on the other hand...tasted delicious, but freaked me out. We went back to his mom's house and just sat around laughing.

Saturday we woke up and lounged around again. He won't home to clean out the garage, and I went to dinner with my family for Easter. Outback...yummy!

Andrea is the faculty advisor for a theatre group at UTSA, The Bargain Basement Players. They were putting on a show Saturday night, so P-Dub and I met up with Andrea for that. Had a glass of wine at this really cute place, Pam's restaurant, and then watched the play. It was really good for local, college theatre. I know Andrea was super proud of them.

I was supposed to meet up with some friends from high school later that Saturday night, but the play took longer than expected, and I didn't really drive downtown, so Andrea, P-Dub and I met up with Andy at Coco Beach and had a very chill night sitting outside, talking, having some drinks. And then we called it a night.

I was very lazy on Sunday, and kind of needed that. I slept for a very long time. Picked up Gabby kind of early, and that was that.

Now, I need another vacation!!! I feel like packing my bags and scooting off for the weekend every weekend ever since Gabby, Andrea, and I drove to the coast. There are tons of little weekend places around San Antonio, but money's a problem...time's a problem. And, well, P-Dub's such a planner and organizer it's hard to be spontaneous.

I'm going to get another Mystic tan tomorrow...wish me luck.

HOW DID THE TAN GO?

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...

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...
"He's Just Not THAT Into You" Sheesz...did someone really need to write this book? Why couldn't women just be left alone in their lonesome deceiving torture upon themselves. No, really...seriously...we like not knowing the truth and playing games with our own minds. What will we have to talk about with our friends if we can't say, "What do you think he meant by this?" If everytime you have to question a man's motives or make excuses for him, and the answer to everything is simply, "He's just not all that into you"...there will be no glimmer of hope...none whatsoever...a girl won't even be able to fool herself into thinking that she can ever possibly find someone. I know I know I know...the truth hurts, and the truth also sets you free...but you'll have to be very secure in yourself and not prone to beating yourself up in order for the truth to really set you free...otherwise the truth only makes it harder to move on. So, thi...
