BLOG SLACKER!

I know, I have been kind of bad lately, I don’t know what’s gotten into me, I have felt uninspired to write. Maybe it’s because visual arts are so much easier to me than anything that requires a lot of thought, like writing for all 3 people who visit my blog in a day.

Eric and I are still doing well, the dog still needs a haircut and the cat is still mean.

Katherine and I went shopping this weekend and I bought myself a whole week’s worth of shirts! I have found myself to be very excited to get dressed every day for work! I have found it even more exciting to continue to wear my shirt after work with Jeans! I am such a girl, and It’s scary! My boss Julie and I are going shopping next weekend and I couldn’t be more excited. http://www.abbys365.blogspot.com/ shows a photo of one of my more favorite shirts I picked up (and my new handbag). I have a thing for embellished shirts, and I’m actually wearing that shirt today. I can totally tell I’ll be one of those old ladies wearing the disgusting clothing no one else will buy. I then will be astonished that no one else had picked it up and try to convince whomever I can that I got a really great buy.

On Saturday evening Eric and I went to Stellars Pizza and Ale and got some take out. (Again see http://www.abbys365.blogspot.com/ ) I could argue that they make the best pizza in the city. It was nice to eat at home, be with Aquaman and get the rest of our room organized, it’s not completely finished but one could argue it’s looking better!

Last night Eric and I both had eye appointments at Pearle Vision in Federal Way. My eyes haven’t changed one bit except for the fact that I have scarring on my eyes due to UV rays, so now I’m supposed to wear sunglasses whenever I can. I thought I moved to a cloudy state to avoid UV rays! But either way, something I can prevent from getting worse. Eric had to replace his glasses as they broke in half a couple months ago and he should wear them for driving purposes. We picked out 2 pair for him (buy one get one free) and so now he’s got “handsome” glasses and “nerd” glasses. I will have to post a couple pictures on here when we get the glasses in, they should be here on his birthday!

After we were done with the Optometrist, whom we both love and are happy to have as a doctor – we went to Verizon to replace my orange EnV! Insert Tears here… I loved my EnV but sadly it wasn’t picking up or dialing out calls like it used to. I need a pretty reliable phone considering we don’t have a land line anymore and I’m walking in downtown Seattle quite a bit. I now own the Voyager (ooooh) it’s very pretty and has a touch screen on the front. Pretty fancy! This is the 3rd phone I’ve gone through since I gave my very sturdy Nokia to my Mom. She’s still using it! (Insert GRUMBLES here). But on the plus side, I’m in love with my phone once again, at least for now.

So tonight is cRAVE and I hope to share my story about the man I saw on the bus today (and ONCE MORE See http://www.abbys365.blogspot.com/). I hope cRAVE goes well, I heard it was amazing last week, I was out due to my nasty cold, but I’m excited for this evening.

I hope this post finds you well
Happy Tuesday!

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...
