Snow Snow Everywhere!

I can't imagine that anyone from South Dakota is feeling bad for me as I gripe about the snowfall in Seattle. I love every flake as long as I don't have to travel. Currently I'm trying to figure out just how I'm going to get home. The buses are running late and running on alternate routes and I am stuck at work (currently). Our offices are closing at 2 pm and we're all going to venture out into the winter wonderland to get home. I am currently facing two choices, both of which may happen, I'm going to go wait for a bus that may take me near my home. OR rent a hotel room and stay put for the evening. I'll keep you posted on which one happens.

The snow on the otherhand is beautiful. I have never seen so much snow in the city before. I will post the pictures I took on my way to work this morning I was enjoying it more than most!

I look kind of scared in this picture, maybe it's because the bus driver that just dropped me off said "good luck getting home".

The wonderful and famous Pike Place Market in the snow!

Me, listening to Christmas music realizing that I get a white Christmas afterall!

This is a view from my office. It's kind of crazy high up, but you get the picture.

Stay warm ♥ Abby

You're right, I don't feel bad for you.
We finally got water back! Along with the water we got two new leaks in the house.
I can't wait to graduate! I'm not excited to be graduated, I'm excited cause that will be when I get to move out of this place.
I'm happy to see you are so happy about the season, cause the closer and closer it gets to christmas the more and more I find myself being grumpy about it.
Ah! All I want for christmas is it to be January so that it's over.

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...
