Monday Monday... So good to me...

It’s so hard to believe its Monday already. I feel like I slept my Saturday away – probably because I did. I wanted to post an installment of Happies, because it’s been a little while since I did one. But first I want to state a few BOO’s that I had this week (end).

BOOS…
-The senior high boys who thought I was a target for Whirly ball, my back and neck haven’t hurt this bad in a long time.

-My decision to wear heels all the way down to Borders on my lunch hour. What was I thinking? Now my feet hurt too!

Happies…
-I pulled a prank on my co-worker Alex by changing the wallpaper on his computer unexpectedly to Sarah Palin on the cover of Vogue (to see image go to http://www.google.com/ and type in Sarah Palin and look at Images, it’s the first one). It was hilarious.
-Eric and I watched 2 movies this weekend and I think “Role Models” has made its way to my top 10 most favorite comedies. It was pretty cute.
-I finally got my Sister, Shannon’s birthday gift in the mail only 11 days late!
-Erica’s birthday gift didn’t break in the mail – Eric and I got her an old fashioned gum ball machine.
-Joe and Heather Had their baby and he’s happy and healthy (see previous post)
-I had a nice text conversation with my cousin Angie – she’s expecting any day now – and will induce Wednesday.
-I have successfully gone through 3 bottles of Purell in less than 2 months at work. It’s cold season!
-Looking forward to giving my blogs a fun spring facelift! I like to keep with the seasons!

-We're getting our taxes done today ... Hooray!

- My lil cousin Alex (who's a Jr. in high school) Set a state record for South Dakota by scoring 40 points in a State basket ball game they won the game 60-41. They went on to take the State title as Champs for the first time in Summit History. Way to go lil cuz.

Happy Monday to all!

Abby- I love to read your Blog! I hope that you and the pets are doing well. Could you blog about your experience with the bus system? I know you’ve mentioned you ride it but I’m interested in knowing more about the bus, I have never had to take it before and I think it's kind of interesting.
Kisses

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.

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!

Thoughts of the American Pride Persuasion

I sat, mesmerized as I watched the “Breaking News” of the past 24 hours – Osama Bin Laden, Dead. What? I can’t really deny my mixed feelings about posting today. I don’t normally jump into the political rings but I can’t deny the HUGE news that swept our nation yesterday. So, this post has been thought out, a lot, typed really slowly, every word, intentional. Which is a huge leap from my normal ramblings of a Monday morning. We were sitting on the couch watching a movie, the movie ended and Eric turned on the news, and we watched, in awe. Just like September 11 th , I’ll always remember where I was when I heard the news. I can’t say I was ready to strap on a flag superhero cape style, and run up and down the street chanting “USA… USA… USA” like hundreds and thousands of other Americans in DC and New York, but then again, I wasn’t near ground zero, in Pennsylvania or at the pentagon the day that Osama Bin Laden became a household name. The American in me wants to be happy and
