Tracy with a Y not an IE.

I haven't regaled you with tales live from Metro transit recently because nothing blogable has happened in a while.

Today, I met Tracy. He told me that it was a Y not an IE because he did not want me to confuse him with a girl that may spell it with an IE.

Tracy is a mentally handicapped 56 year old man who rides the bus everyday (so he tells me) but today he sat next to me.

He sat down and said "boy you are a pretty girl, your husband must be very happy with you. Can I be your friend? I like to meet friends."

How could you say no to that?

Tracy sat next to me from Seattle to just outside of Des Moines. We had a great talk and as people passed to get off the bus he wished each one of them a great weekend. Before his stop he asked me if it would be okay if he prayed for me when he went to church on Sunday.

Then he pulled the stop chord gave me a nice pat on the back and told me to have a good weekend.

God put Tracy with a Y here today to make me smile... Thank you God for Tracy!

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
