What makes you smile?

What am I thankful for today? I get to go get a massage at 5:30 you bet I’m thankful! Oh and many other things too!
I am so glad that the end of the week is almost here. I got about 10 hours of sleep last night so I’m about ready to jitter straight out of my chair I feel so good. Of course the couple cups of coffee didn’t help one bit … right?
I don’t really have much to blog about but I kind of feel like typing I guess maybe just to keep my fingers busy. So here it comes, a list of things that make me smile today… and some of them make me smile, every day!
♥ Relay for life – I’m getting so excited to establish my team and be part of that community, I get all woozy just thinking about it! Also, my Relay Tote should be coming in the mail in the next couple weeks as an incentive for the money I raised last year! Woot!
♥ My job – I seriously love my job.
♥ A Happy Momma. She’s fighting so hard, and keeping a smile on her face, I admire that so much, Last chemo was this week! WOOT!
♥ A sleepy faced puppy – It’s so hard to walk out the door some mornings when he’s still in cuddle mode.
♥ Old country music – and when I say Old it’s pretty relative, I’m listening to the stuff I grew up with, Shania Twain, Martina McBride, Reba… you know… the good stuff before it became Pop music.
♥ New Moon – I love the frenzy that all the teenage kids are in over this movie and the books!
♥ The coming of Christmas – I can seriously almost feel the vibration of every one so excited for Christmas season they could burst. It’s har to imagine that this time next week I’ll be full of turkey and anticipation over hanging up our decorations!
♥ Gracie – who has decided all of the sudden that she, does want to be a functional part of our family, who wouldn’t love that? Also, that totally makes my New Year’s resolution complete!
♥ My BFF Heidi – who keeps a smile on her face no matter what, I love that girl so much.
♥ The new transportation deal I worked out with Eric – He meets me half way in Burien and then we have coffee at Starbucks together and ride home together the rest of the way. I don’t get home any quicker, but it’s a nice little break in the day.
♥ The fact that I’ve finally learned to let go and just have a good life and not worry so much about my to do list. It’s a hard concept for me who always has something to do, but it’s been a refreshing way to live.
♥ oh yeah… and this picture…*Swoon…I miss Vacation…

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
