YAY Post #30! Who knew I'd get this far???

Wow! I am pretty impressed I already have 30 posts... I'm kind of shocked I haven't given up on this yet.
Any ways -
Well, one of the things I like most about Seattle in the fall is all this liquid Sunshine! It’s been raining here 3 days nonstop (pretty much). I love when it rains and doesn’t just mess around and mist. Though it does make the leaves stick to the ground in a very messy sort of way it’s still wonderful.
Mom said yesterday that there was 3 foot of snow expected in Watertown (and I believe it came). YUCK! I am so glad I don’t have to deal with snow! I miss the beauty of it but do not miss scraping my windows, shoveling my sidewalks, and starting my car as soon as I get out of bed to make sure it’s nice and warm when I leave. I would safely say I will take Liquid Sunshine any day except for on Christmas Day!
Speaking of Christmas we’re starting to get things together all ready!
It’s weird to hear all the holiday commercial’s because I usually take that as my cue to start gathering things for gifts. Living this far away from home makes me freak out around holidays and birthdays because I really have to plan ahead to get the packages out in time.
I am hoping to pound out a few Christmas projects this weekend I am going to try to make some Christmas cards as well as Christmas Ornaments. We’ll see what happens.
Eric and I are planning to go to Northgate this weekend; one of my most favorite co-workers Tacy is having a little gathering up there!
I hope you all have a lovely weekend! Be safe and happy in whatever you do!

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...
