Happiness is...

Simplifying my life. I work for a brokerage firm and I spend most of my 40 hours a week on a computer. So, for vacation I've decided to spend as little time on the computer as possible. Not that I don't LOVE my job or being on the computer, It's just my form of detox for the week.
I will still have small posts, or my picture of the day but I don't plan to spend 20 minutes writing a post when I could be laying on my back porch enjoying the Sunshine!
So I'll boil it down to this...
Happiness.
Happiness is ... A clean unused toilet at Safe Co Field.
Happiness is ... a sunny Friday at the ballpark with my Husband.
Happiness is ... sleeping in on a Saturday
Happiness is ... waking up to your puppy licking your cheek
Happiness is ... Realizing you have an entire week of vacation ahead of you and nothing on your to do list.
Happiness is... blogging your entire vacation in all the bright points.
This week, I will share little one liners into our vacation week, but not a play by play of every single day we were out.
Because we should all know what Happiness means to us.

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
