Tuesday Morning Happies!

In no particular order – here are a few things that are making my smile big and bright today.

♥ The photo shoot from last night. Eric (and Aquaman somewhat) was so helpful in helping fulfill my vision of what photo I wanted to post for what I was thankful for today (see http://www.abbys365.blogspot.com/). I kept getting frustrated but Eric was so patient and helpful.
♥ Christmas music playing on warm 106.9 – usually I stay away from it till December 1st giving Thanksgiving it’s full month of holiday but for some reason I can’t help but to sing along this year. (It’s kind of a secret shame) And I’ve already heard some of my all time favorites.
♥ cRAVE is tonight and we get to play some fun Thanksgiving themed games! And Eric is doing the message tonight!
♥ Eric is picking me up from work so I do not have to ride the bus.
♥ I got to nap on the bus this morning because my “usual” bus buddy Dahlia was MIA. Though I love talking with Dahlia – I was sleepy.
♥ The three cups of coffee I drank probably has something to do with my attitude.
♥ Santa Clause is currently residing on Coke cans & Snowflakes on Diet Coke
♥ I get to carry a bunch of balloons through the city of Seattle on my lunch break to welcome my wonderful boss back to the office.
♥ We get Italian food from Buca De Beppo for lunch today because it’s Birthday Lunch day!
♥ My kitty actually wanted me to pet her this morning. (rare occasion)

I am sure there is more to list but those are a couple things that I thought of offhand. I hope you’re having a good day ♥ 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...
