USPSS... United States Postal Service SUCKS.

So I get one A+ for being a great niece today... and one big fat F for being a doofis.

My Auntie Brenda loves me sooo much she sent me a Birthday gift... on February 4th... Nope you're not losing it that's 14 days ago... and I still haven't seen it... Thanks USPS... Thanks a bunch.

And I Won the RELAY package from Mrs. Sprouffske, and I was SO excited ... so excited that I gave her the wrong zip code on my address when I e-mailed it to her after I won. I may never see my Relay goodies... so I get an F for that... and maybe I shouldn't bad mouth USPS - they may get it to me here after all but let's just say I'm not holding my breath.

Going out to Dinner with a co-worker tonight for Christmas - again I realize that was a few months ago... I can count. Looking forward to random great conversation and a long weird bus ride home because the later you ride the bus the weirder it gets!

Hoping to get a post up about Ash Wednesday before the week is out. Lent is so inspiring.

Going bowling tomorrow night - Can hardly contain my excitement... I LOVE TO BOWL!!!

Enough of the Random sentences... I'm leaving now...

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...
