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.

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.

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!

Thoughts of the American Pride Persuasion

I sat, mesmerized as I watched the “Breaking News” of the past 24 hours – Osama Bin Laden, Dead. What? I can’t really deny my mixed feelings about posting today. I don’t normally jump into the political rings but I can’t deny the HUGE news that swept our nation yesterday. So, this post has been thought out, a lot, typed really slowly, every word, intentional. Which is a huge leap from my normal ramblings of a Monday morning. We were sitting on the couch watching a movie, the movie ended and Eric turned on the news, and we watched, in awe. Just like September 11 th , I’ll always remember where I was when I heard the news. I can’t say I was ready to strap on a flag superhero cape style, and run up and down the street chanting “USA… USA… USA” like hundreds and thousands of other Americans in DC and New York, but then again, I wasn’t near ground zero, in Pennsylvania or at the pentagon the day that Osama Bin Laden became a household name. The American in me wants to be happy and
