He Just Knows...

Yesterday was kind of rough.
I had to stay after work because of the stupid mail machine and it's ink cartridge crapping out on me.
And then I got the news that Mom isn't feeling so hot....
By the time I got home (Near tears the whole way home On the late bus) I was feeling kind of cranky.
Eric greeted me with a warm hug, and said "Wanna go for a drive?"
I nodded, put Aquaman in his kennel, and we took off.
First to the post office, then we just started to drive.
We found ourselves looking to try a new place to eat, and after getting clear to White Center, we turned around and really dedicated ourselves to finding dinner.
We settled on a Pupesaria (Ecuadorian Food) on the side of the road in an area Burien we rarely go. It was a run down little area connected to a Hispanic grocery store, but the workers were friendly and the food was delicious. It was hard to not eat every bite - but there was a lot of food and I had to save room for my Reeses peanut butter cup blizzard from a Dairy Queen we passed. Our local Dairy Queen shut down about a year ago and I hadn't found one since.
Sitting in the parking lot, eating ice cream with my husband I realized, he just knows how to make it better. I am not sure what his secret is; but I guess I don't NEED to know.

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...
