She Did It! Another One Off the List – Go Lillian

February 15 2024

Finally getting the endoscopy done! The nurses here are amazing. They used an ultrasound to find a good vein so Lillian Darnell didn’t get poked multiple times. Yay Lillian!!! And thank you clonazepam for helping Lillian not be anxious!! 🤣🤣🤣

**And if you’re that lady who sent me an email the last time I posted about Lillian conquering her fears, please Go Fuck Yourself! You don’t know me, or my kids. If you did, you would not have sent me a message that I use my kid for clicks and to get attention. Plus, Lillian is a woman. She is 22 years old! Unsubscribe from my blog and go away.**

Displaying the Love – Finally

February 10 2024

Finally got these hung. I think I need another row across the top.

February 11 2024

More photos hung and some rearranging of others. I’m loving the way it feels in here. The Team TLC 2023 photo is made with diamond art by my mom.

The movie wall and a hallway wall remaining.

Thank You for the How To Videos

February 10 2024

One bandaid later and I’ve replaced the sprayer head. Maintenance keeps replacing with the same flawed model that gets stuck in spray mode. Absolutely a pain in the ass to turn on the water and be sprayed right in the stomach and all over the kitchen floor. Thank you to the folks who create the “how to” videos, as I had to remove the clip and o ring. 🎉💋🎉

Garden of the Gods – New Wall Art

February 10 2024

Finally enlarged my favorite Garden of the Gods photo, taken when we attended the 2019 C18 conference. Love how it turned out. 💙💚💙

First Time and I Loved It – Karaoke

February 9 2024

And then I went to my neighbors and did karaoke and danced. Gen X in the house introducing them to some great music!! I’ve never done karaoke and that was so much fun, especially when I can dance at the same time!! 🎶🔥🎶

Wine and Paint With My INOVA Neighbors

February 9 2024

Vulnerable with Wild Abandon

February 4 2024

Think I’ve nailed this one. I have tendency to be vulnerable with wild abandon. 🤣😂🤣
