Slice of Life: the *Sigh* edition

Slice of Life: the Sigh edition

After having a "No Body Loves me, Everybody Hates me... guess I'll go Eat worms" kind of a day yesterday I am trying to get back on the "quit feeling sorry for yourself" track. I am not 100% sure what's wrong, but I'm sure it's a mere blip in the radar of life, and I need to pull my head back on straight and figure it out... "let's go kid..."

I can't really complain, I just returned from a weekend in Vegas with a great Girlfriend and we had the time of our lives...

Oh yeah, and I live with this wonderful man who when I'm having a "no body loves me" kind of day, he totally feeds my ego - lets me cry, but not for too long...

So with that, I give you ... my Slice of Life.

Outside my Window - Can't really see outside my window right now... the sun is shining too brightly! (YAAAY)
I'm thinking - that a big piece of chocolate could make the frowns upside down

I'm thankful for - Eric ... I'm always thankful for Eric.
From the Kitchen- Eric made me a ham and cheese sandwich for lunch... yummm but last night he made us fresh pasta and tomato sauce from scratch - wow.
I'm wearing- my Navy blue "Pirate shirt" as Eric likes to refer to it... I feel frumpy... Losing weight is great, but it makes me feel frump in everything I own - not buying new clothes till I hit the next size down.
I'm Going- out to eat with friends tonight, friends we haven't seen for quite some time... looking forward to it.
I'm Hoping- I get my butt in gear for Relay... it's only 46 days away!
I'm hearing- the fan blow... it's cold in here.
Around the house- needs some organization... eep!
I'm wondering- what I can do to find me time..
A few plans for the week- Dinner tonight, Meeting Wednesday... and then Rest & Relaxation... :)
A picture for a thought I'm sharing-

How inspiring is this art? I ♥ Chihuly

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...
