The Red Ring of Death... And other goodies

This week has been CrAzY! I usually don't condone typing words like that but seriously, it's been nuts.

So here's a few highlights/lowlights of the Ronnebeck week of chaos.

* Mom had her last Chemo Session on Wednesday during which she had an anaphylactic reaction to the drugs causing her throat to swell and hands to itch, anyone with allergies can feel her pain with this one. She's better though, and not feeling too icky.

But it was her last one!!!!!!!!

* 3rd Call Committee meeting for GLC. I am the secretary and dilligently take notes at the meetings and send out the minutes the following day. It's a good role for me.

* Tuesday I find out that the Engagement session I'm EXCITED to shoot is not Sunday it's Saturday which cancelled out my plans to go kitty petting with my co-workers this weekend, Bummed...

* I AM SO EXCITED TO DO MY FIRST ENGAGEMENT PHOTOSHOOT THIS WEEKEND! For one of my best girls and little sisters in the world... Laurel ♥ and her new fiance ... Jon. So excited to meet Jon.

* Got called for Jury duty a few weeks ago - but called in on Wednesday to see if I had to report and the answer to that was No! Hooray!

* Wednesday night we got our taxes done... and that means we get to go on a vacation this year! Double Yay!

* Came home from the call committee meeting to one sad Husband. Our Xbox had the red ring of death - Sent it in Thursday morning to get fixed by the Xbox Gods... 4-6 weeks with out an Xbox or a DVD Player... Sad.

* How is Monday possibly March?

* Gearing up for Hope on the Slopes for next weekend. Nothing like an all nighter to make you feel old at 26.

That's about it... better get back to work now... Have a Great weekend 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...

R is for Ronnebeck!
