Tuesday Blues day... better wear your shoes day.

I came down with a cold on Sunday, and it's been bringing me down ever since. I finally broke today and came home early from work. My boss took one look at me and simply said "Go HOME!" So, by 10 am, Eric was picking me up from my office and taking me home to get better.
I came home and crawled into bed, and around 3:15 I finally woke up. I'm sure that my body needed rest because I'm allready getting sleepy again. I'm not really worried about having to try and fall asleep tonight, I'm sure it will come to me.

We had a good weekend and it was actually pretty productive. We conquored a whole season of 30 Rock. Oh yeah, and I cleaned the kitchen from top to bottom. I get that whole "clean thearapy" from my mom. I cleaned the floor and cabinets with a lovely mix of bleach water. Mmmh, I can smell my clean kitchen from here.

I hope to get out and about this coming weekend, I'm feeling a little cabin feaver since I've been sick for the past couple days. Last night I came home from work, ate supper, took NyQuil and was in bed by 8pm. I live such an exciting life this week I'm happy anyone's still reading this blog.

Hope all is well! Talk with you soon!

Much Love - abby

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
