Abby + 3 blogs = Seattlites gets no Love!

I never imagined that being an administrator on 3 blogs would be so much work! Sorry to report in so late. I have been meaning to get a post up on here for quite a while but I’ve had a lot on my plate.

Eric left for Mexico a week ago on Sunday and he will return on Friday! I’m so excited to see him again! It sounds like they’re having a really great trip! He called me last night and he said that it was his “best trip ever”! He reports that despite the raised concern about the drug cartel and federales they’re perfectly safe and hasn’t seen anyone ill yet. I can’t say I wasn’t worried about it, but I can say I feel better after talking with him. Tim has kept updates going on Twitter so we can see/hear what they’re up to every day. Here’s a picture of the view from the orphanage; pretty amazing huh? They’re getting all packed up today/tonight and they’ll be crossing the border back into the states tomorrow! I’m looking forward to having Eric back in “home turf”; it will make me feel even that much better!

I have been holding down the homestead! Aquaman, Gracie and I are all much better friends now because we’ve been spending a lot of time together. Aquaman spends most of his days in the kennel and isn’t too happy about it. I’ve been pretty good at getting him outside the minute I get home, sometimes I’m out of steam but keep going because I can’t imagine how hard it must be for him to have to sit in the kennel all day. I have been occupying my time with cleaning and watching “Big Love” which is an HBO series we have on DVD about polygamy. It’s a pretty cool show! I’ve also been spending a lot of time with girlfriends and have a date tomorrow night with Laurel. She’s coming over for supper!

Hopefully soon my home computer will be fixed and I can start posting pictures again. It’s been hard on me because I love to post so much! I plan on taking my camera to pick Eric up on Friday but you may not get to see those pictures for a while. I’m pretty sad about that!

Life has been busy for me. Mom’s doing well, but I think about her and the C-word all the time. I am happy to report that I’m 80% of the way to my goal for Relay 4 Life. I can’t wait to get home and get my hubby on board to walk with me! Here’s my shameless plug, if you’d like to donate or have me light a luminaria for someone you love, go to this link HERE.

Glad you’re checking in, sorry that I’ve been so bad at reporting in. There’s only so much blogging one can do I guess. I will do my best to be better, and since my life is more exciting when Eric’s around I imagine I have more to blog about when he’s here.

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
