But Tony Started it!

See? Tony ALWAYS starts the fights... First he picks on Shannon till she yells for Mom, then I try to step in and help out - and soon he has me in an arm lock and then I'm yelling for Mom.

I remember fighting with my brother and sister when I was little just to fight. I think secretly all three of us were trying to drive Mom crazy - Sorry Mom. Since Tony ALWAYS started it... it ensued until Mom would raise her Mom Voice - I would answer "But Tony started it..." and Mom would reply "I don't care who started it; I'll END it!" then we would continue to punch and pinch on a smaller scale till the Mom voice came out again or until one of us (me) started to cry.

I came across these photos today in my search for something to cheer up my desktop background and they made me laugh out loud.

At what age do we stop picking on our siblings?

For my brother? I think it will be once his sister's can hand it to him - and we're getting dangerously close even though we don't practice nearly enough any more.

But yet again, here we are 34-32-25 ... Trying to get the best of one another.

I Love my siblings... They're great!

And Mom? This is photographic proof that TONY STARTED IT!!!!

Thanks for the Smile today :o)

And this (above) is proof his sisters can hold their own!

As long as we gang up on him!

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!

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...

Merry Craftmas!!

When I was little Mom had one of these to put out every Christmas. I remember her tossing it out having fixed its hot glue after every warm summer in the shed, she wasn't particularly attached to it but I was. Having collected enough baby food jars (finally) I put it together this weekend! Looks just like I remember it and now it is sitting in my closet awaiting its debut next weekend!

R is for Ronnebeck!
