Happy President's Day!

It's great to get a three day weekend and not even really realize it till Sunday night. Last night as I was sitting on the couch I realized that I get to sleep in tomorrow morning - and the clouds parted and the angels sang the hallelujah chorus. It felt good to wake up to no alarm this morning. 9:00 rolled around and I slowly made my way out of bed; and just like a kid I'm sitting on the living room couch watching Sesame Street - Oh Fond Memories....
We had a great weekend that went by rather slowly which is what I love about long weekends.
Friday was Anti Valentines day with Tim and Katherine at Hooters. We also played a couple games of 'Ticket to ride' which is quickly becoming the best board game ever; we affectionately call it Trains - and I actually won a game this weekend which was a first.
Saturday we hung around home. I worked on 'pimpin' my blogs and making them look cute - I was getting sick of the one color format. I look forward to the times I get to change it based on the seasons because I'm festive like that. Then around 9:00 we headed north to Lynnwood to see our dear friends Ivan & Dawn. I know ... it was late, but it's been a long time since we've been able to see them and our schedules just haven't meshed well together, and we really wanted to see them. So, after Ivan got off work we headed to Lynnwood and hung out till about 1:30. It was a late night but a night filled with desert and laughter, what more can you ask for?
Sunday we decided we were going to go see a movie. Eric has wanted to see Wolfman since he saw the first leaked previews for it - since he wanted to see it so badly, I finally agree'd to go even though I wasn't super excited to see it. But what the hell were we thinking going to a movie on Valentines day?!?!?!?! The place was PACKED. The movie itself wasn't too bad but the lines to get tickets were impossibly long. It was a pretty good movie - I didn't hate it. Eric was very happy that he got to see it. We then came home, ate some Safeway Chinese and fell in to our normal Sunday night rituals of Cartoon domination and sleep.
Now, here I am awake at 9am on a Monday morning and feeling a little out of place as if I should be some where. I'll be on my way out the door soon, to make sure my puppy gets a good muddy run in the park before I have to give him a bath.
Have a lovely Presidents Day Everyone!

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!

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.

8 Years Ago Today...

 8 Years ago today... I was in the Kent/Des Moines Park and Ride puking in the bushes because I was SO Nervous about my first day at KMS. I didn't know If I could hack it in the big city. I didn't know a thing about being a Receptionist, and I didn't even know what a Broker/Dealer was, but I swallowed the lump in my throat and decided to take it head on. I've learned SO MUCH - an Immeasurable amount of life and work lessons from my 8 years at KMS, and I could muse all day long about the Farm Fresh 22 year old you see to the left and how naive she was. KMS has given me a gift of balancing a work life and a home life and still being able to give my 110% when I'm at work without losing my balance. When I walked in the door this morning, my co-workers had created this celebration from me, and after they arrived, it got bigger with gifts, and notes, and cards, and decorations. They wanted to celebrate me, and my achievements here, though If they would have kn...
