Post #400

WOW - Post #400... you guys have been listening to me blab for quite a while... Thank you!

Now that the trauma of the cell phone experience is more or less over, more or less meaning I have a cell phone, but not the one I bought just a few short months ago. *Let it go Abby… Let … It… Go.

Sigh… any ways… like I was saying, now the trauma is over, I can tell you about our weekend! We were pretty relaxed all weekend long and there’s really not much to report now that I begin to type about it.

On Saturday we met up with Ivan & Dawn at Calamity Jane’s for breakfast and it was yummy! It was really nice to chat it up with them, and get to see them more than once every other month, which has been our recent pattern.

After breakfast on our way home Eric and I swung by our local library and checked it out! We borrowed two books and I was a little sad that I didn’t have my library card yet to use. But no worries folks, it came in the mail yesterday! And it’s super cute! It’s got a little Octopus on it with a book in every tentacle.

Then we went home, hung out, I scrapbooked and we watched ‘Where the wild things are’ which is a strangely creative and wonderful movie. After that I headed to bed. I was tired!

On Sunday we were lazy and slept in, Eric woke to a phone call from Reiner, and Reiner wanted to hang out. So he drove down and I got some much needed alone time in my bed with Aquaman and the tv. I guess maybe all I needed to cure the blues was a little lazy alone time, but it’s so hard to recognize that. I plan to schedule some for myself now and again to help me not get so burned out. Sometimes I guess your body just wants to be a vegetable.

Sunday evening an acquaintance of mine named Lori who I see every morning on my way to work with her beautiful Husky Jesse; stopped by with an entire 40 gallon garbage bag full of clothes that were my size that she just didn’t wear often enough. So I tried on clothes for the rest of the evening and later on, Katherine dropped by a few things. It was a great relaxing Sunday.

I now have a new outfit for every day this week… and possibly next week too… I am pretty pleased about that. So I guess my blues were nothing a bag of clothing couldn’t cure! Hehe!

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...
