Thank God for Green Tea - and the boy who makes it

4:50am my alarm screams through the bedroom.
I slap the alarm – then stretch and sigh
Aquaman looks up from his slumber; stretches and sighs.
Eric doesn’t stir.
I stumble to the bathroom through the pitch black.
Hit the lights – and blink rapidly for my eyes to adjust.
Turn on the water in the shower.
Too hot… too cold… too hot… just right
Cherry Blossom shampoo and conditioner awaken my senses.
Rinse off – I don’t want to get out
Cold air hits my skin as I try with a soft towel.
Stumble back through the bedroom to get dressed.
Aquaman stretches and sighs.
Eric doesn’t stir.
Too tight… Too ugly… too loose… Just right.
I walk into the kitchen to pack my lunch.
But my lunch is packed.
I turn to make Tea to take on the bus
My tea is ready to be heated up already.
I love my husband.
I sigh.

Sometimes it’s the little things that make me appreciate life. It was so good to wake up to lunch and tea ready to go this morning.

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...
