Oh the Early 90's

My sister might be mad at me forever for posting this picture, but it has such a good story behind it, I’ll take my chances.
I was hanging out on my break this afternoon when I received this picture in a text from my lovely cousin Amanda… and all it said was “Nice Hair”. It made me laugh so hard, I just about pee’d in my pants.
Yes, I had great hair. I’m not sure where she found / saw this picture and or what motivated her to send it to me, but I will remind her that I’ve got just as many embarrassing pictures of her.
And the funny thing is I’m not sure what’s more embarrassing, the hair, the outfits or the combo of all of the above for all three of us.
Oh the early 90’s! I’m pretty sure my sister used an entire can of Aqua net… and my brother… you can’t see it… but there’s a long rat tail in back … I’m almost 100% sure of that. And me… well let’s just say it’s business in front and party in the back, yep, I’ll admit it, I had a girl mullet.

So… Thanks Amanda… for the best laugh of my day.
And Please, Shannon… forgive me.

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
