Monday Mornin....

Wow! What a lazy weekend we had! I know it seems weird but my sister called me this morning and said “what did you do this weekend” and I told her “I know it sounds odd but we were busy I’m just not sure what we did”.
Friday night Eric and I went to Federal way and spent some time running errands and went out to eat at Herfey’s (which is a complete and udder grease ball of a restaurant) but it tasted good!
Then we went to Target where I purchased the best Pajama’s in the entire world! (See photo). I am SO ready for Christmas morning with these jams, but actually they’re just super comfy.

I took some time Saturday afternoon to bake some Chocolate Chocolate-frosted cookies and Eric and I were both pretty astonished to see how quickly they disappear from the cookie jar.
Saturday evening Eric went to All Freak’n Night in Olympia which is a movie marathon of really old horror flicks that his friend Ivan is involved with. I stayed home because my talents do not include staying awake from 12 (midnight) to 9 am watching movies. Aquaman, Gracie and I had some quality bonding time. Pets are funny creatures. Aquaman kept jumping up and running to the door and growling, I would walk out to the front door to check things out and nothing would be there. I guess he’s just being my lil’ guard dog while Eric wasn’t home. I thought it was funny because I’m pretty sure he couldn’t protect me from a mouse. He also spent a lot of time chasing Gracie in circles which is one of his favorite things to do. At one point Gracie came screaming in the room with a reusable grocery bag around her neck and Aquaman at her tail. I imagine she was playing in the bag when he scared her and she just took off running. I found it quite humorous.
I went gallivanting with Katherine Sunday morning while Eric was catching up on his sleep and found some mint M&M’s which I’m happy to report are in the stores; After that I took Aquaman for a walk, the field where we walk was still wet from the dew and he was pretty wet & dirty when we returned home so he got an unwelcome bath. (He hates tubby time).
After we got all clean and dry I got some scrapbooking done and Eric did some organizing as well. All in all it was a fantastic weekend I hope you all had a fantastic weekend as well ♥ Abby!

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...
