Mummy Madness!

I baked cupcakes today! I made them in to mummies to celebrate my favorite holiday ever! I try not to make too many treats this time of year, because I definetly don't need to eat them, but there are so many cute ideas out there for cupcakes. I won't be sending any your way Mom, sorry I don't think they'd make the trip in one piece.
This is obviously why I don't make cupcakes often!
I also whipped up a batch of very spicy Turkey Chilli and some corn bread muffins.
I think I'm done cooking for awhile.
We had a busy weekend. Friday night, Tim, Eric and I went to our last Mariner's game with Mindy, Phil, and their friends.
It was a great time, and wish we could have come home with a W, but it was nice to see the boys on the field one last time.
Saturday morning Eric and I woke up and watched "house of 1000 corpses", a Rob Zombie movie that is pretty gross actually. Then I went and gallivanted the afternoon away with Katherine and then Tim, Kat, Eric and I went out to eat at our favorite Indian food spot. We ate for quite awhile because the service was a little slower than normal.
But it was a good time to hang out with Tim and Katherine.
Sunday is always full of football in the fall. I went to the grocery store and got a few things to make my goodies and came home and got to work. I uploaded a few pictures to facebook and then we took Aquaman for a walk in the park after watching the Mariners take home their 85th win of the season.
It was a great weekend, I'm not ready for Monday quite yet, but I'll get there I'm sure.
All my 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
