Carbs and Comics

What a fantastic way to spend a Friday night ... a big bowl of Spaghetti... and mapping out the comicon plan for tomorrow morning... more about the spaghetti a little later... but now... it's time again ladies and gentlemen... For the EMERALD CITY COMICON!!!

It's frighting to me HOW EXCITED I am to go to the Comicon this year. My favorite artist / comic will be there tomorrow and I can't wait to get some original art, and books, and plush and whatever else he sells with Owly on it.
I mean... who wouldn't want to buy everything in sight with this little guy... melt my heart! This is the drawing I saw when I fell in love with Owly last year at the comicon only to find out that his artist was no where to be found.

Eric was checking out a few things online when he learned that my second favorite comic's artist has cancelled this year... so I will not get my books signed by Skottie Young... So dissapointed. But his blog says that his flight got cancelled so I guess I can't blame him, but keep my fingers crossed for next year. But serriously... look at this beautiful drawing of Dorothy... Breathless.Oh and about dinner? Eric made this amazing pasta dish! It was a breakfast spaghetti and before you get grossed out... think spaghetti tossed in alfredo sauce like sauce... with panchetta and onion... YUMMMMM.... I think I gained 6 pounds eating it... but it was some seriously good food... Pastacarbonara!!!
Looking forward to posting all sorts of nerdy goodness tomorrow... but for now I'm going to go get my rest so I can spend the day being excited to meet the people who make the art work that I enjoy and then as I approach the table like a shy 5 year old... I end up spitting out "I love your work" and then stand there awkwardly as Eric tries to get me to talk some more. I guess I have stage fright. But... since I'm going for the NEW ME... maybe I'll make myself some que cards.
Any ways...
Good Night.

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...
