I find it difficult...

...to blog on a regular basis. I feel like I'm always playing catch up.

I had a really great weekend. Gabby went to her dad's. I had dinner with a friend and his family on Friday for his step-dad's birthday. That was really good. And then my friend had to go home to catch some zzzz's for his trip to Houston the next morning. I met up with Andrea at The Crazy Ape and it was just the two of us.

Saturday was another laugh fest like our trip to the coast. We had lunch at Fish City Grill. Did a little jewelry shopping. And got Mystic tans. (I have streaks. I didn't buff in a circular motion enough). Stopped for ice cream and then we each headed home.

I met up with Andrea again a little later at Baker Street Pub. Our friend, Nick the Bartender, was having a birthday party with a White Trash theme. We perched ourselves at the bar and watched the craziness ensue. I was offered a $100 plus tips to let my boobs make an appearance at a Bachelor Party. WTF!!?? Of course, I said no. We got out of there fast once this group of disgusting drunks wouldn't go away.

Then we headed downtown to this awesome freaking house where a grad student friend of Andrea's lives. They were having a really nice house party. So, different to be around students and intellectuals than the usual "bar people". I stood on the porch and had a very drunk, long conversation with a guy named Seth who's an artist. He had his sketchbook with him and he was amazing. Then it was time to go. I was really drunk, and not driving thankfully.

Sunday I nursed my hangover, had lunch at Red Lobster with Andrea, and waited for my friend to get home from Houston.

He came over and we spent some really good, but short quality time together. Got some food. Went to Wal-Mart so I could buy a new hair dryer (mine was shooting out only cold air). And then it was time for him to go. Gabby's dad actually brought her home for once last night and that was nice. But it was late.

Back to work today...Blah!

My team at work is being moved to a different department, different floor...different manager. Which is really hard for me. I'm not really all that thrilled. It might end up being a good thing. There might be better opportunities, but for now I'm not happy about the change. But, it could be better for other things in my life...if you've read True Romance?. I definitely won't have a conflict of interest anymore.

I'm forever playing 'catchup' on my blog. And on Tagged. And Facebook. I hardly ever go on my Facebook page. I'm only there to keep in touch with my childhood/high school friends. Since my reunion, that's been the way. Everyone wants to be in touch now. It's an epidemic. Go figure.

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...

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.
