Viva Las Wingdome!!!

Last night Eric and I met up with Tim, Kat, Nick, Ben, Serena, Chaz, and Luke at the WingDome. The purpose? To have fun and to eat a 7 alarm wing to be put in the WALL OF FLAME !!! ...

I don't have any photos of the 4 of the brave "champions" crying after they've eaten the hottest hot wing in Kent Washington, but only because the lighting in the place was so crappy and all I had was my cell phone. However, I think they'd be happy that their photo will not appear on the blog but only amongst the sea of people all ready inducted on the WALL OF FLAME!!!

Eric, Nick, Serena and Chaz all took the challenge to eat 1 wing dripping with 7 alarm wing sauce. They took the team friendship handshake and went on eating, Nick's eyes were watering so bad it looked like someone had just kicked his dog, and Serena couldn't swallow it. Chaz and Eric's lips were on fire. I dipped my pinky in the sauce just enough to make the tip of my finger a little red and put it on my tongue and my entire tongue turned numb with spice. I can't imagine eating an entire wing - or any more sauce than I did!

So, My husband will forever be remembered by the people who visit the WingDome because he now has his photo on the WALL OF FLAME!!! for being one of the many who dare to taste the 7 alarm sauce!

And the parting gift? An atomic fireball in lieu of a mint... what a sick joke....

Got home too late, but wouldn't have changed it for the world... what a great night!

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...
