Gas Hog

I normally wouldn't blog to bitch about random happenings in my life. I do however feel a bit stressed and feel that this will help ease my mind. So if you don't want to keep reading... I understand.
It's Theraputic to just type and listen to the keys so here it goes with the story of last night and why indeed I am as sleepy as I am today.
Last night Eric and I were on the couch watching Heroes when we hear our neighbor's car alarm going off. Eric went out to the back porch and saw our neighbor Tyrell running across the parking lot after someone. Eric went down stairs to investigate so I stepped out on the back porch to talk with Artina who was also standing on her porch. Tyrell comes back around the parking garage and said he had an encounter with a man who was holding a Gas can who he had been chasing. Long story short the man was attempting to seiphen gasoline out of our neighbor's SUV when the alarm went off. I guess this has been one of many attempts though Eric and I haven't gotten hit yet. I guess I shouldn't speak too soon, the Man magnet could be setting there on E for all I know.
The point of it all is that it's so disturbing when things like this happen in your safe zone. My dear friend Meg can attest to the sense of insecurity it puts in your mind and soul. After all gas isn't that expensive any more so is he doing it just because he needs it more so than anyone else? or is it just for sport?
So needless to say I didn't get much sleep after that. My mind kind of got away with me and I think that I just need a quiet sunny fall day, but maybe next week!
Tonight is cRAVE and I'm at a loss for what to do I guess maybe GOD will open the clouds and speak to me if need be.
Keep our safety and our home's safety in your prayers if you would. It would help my mind be more at ease.
Love you all ♥

The Wreath

It all started with Pinterest - yes, that rant about Pinterest still stands, but this was inspired from there. I wanted to recreate a wreath of bulbs, I hate buying wreaths since they expire year after year, this one will hang in my home for a LONG time, possibly till I die... that is how much I love how it turned out! So, being my crafty (and somewhat frugal) self, I set off to find the materials to make it. Finding that bulbs are not quite as cheap as you'd expect, I found them for 80% off.  This wreath, at cost would have run me about $125. ACK! I made it for under 35%! So pretty! So pleased! Many have asked me to make one for them - my answer - you buy the bulbs and materials and I'll glue it together!

My Happy Place

I have a lot of happy space in my world - but the happiest of all is Marvista Park in Normandy Park, just a few short miles from my house. It's the one place where I can go, be a kid, and then feel completely refreshed afterwards. Vacation is coming... T minus a few weeks now, and I feel like I've earned the crap out of it this year! But until then, a weekly trip to my happy place with the furry one should do it!  I love his little feet trying to take on the leaves! So cute.

8 Years Ago Today...

 8 Years ago today... I was in the Kent/Des Moines Park and Ride puking in the bushes because I was SO Nervous about my first day at KMS. I didn't know If I could hack it in the big city. I didn't know a thing about being a Receptionist, and I didn't even know what a Broker/Dealer was, but I swallowed the lump in my throat and decided to take it head on. I've learned SO MUCH - an Immeasurable amount of life and work lessons from my 8 years at KMS, and I could muse all day long about the Farm Fresh 22 year old you see to the left and how naive she was. KMS has given me a gift of balancing a work life and a home life and still being able to give my 110% when I'm at work without losing my balance. When I walked in the door this morning, my co-workers had created this celebration from me, and after they arrived, it got bigger with gifts, and notes, and cards, and decorations. They wanted to celebrate me, and my achievements here, though If they would have kn...
