Slice of Life : The Friday Edition!

This week has been crazy busy. I have been working 7-4 which is unusal because I'm filling in for an absent co-worker. It's weird to think how much of a difference 45 minutes makes! I'm happy it's Friday though... Here's a little slice of life on this very sunny Friday.
Outside my Window - A VERY SUNNY Seattle... I wish I could go outside and play
I'm thinking - a million things all at once, Relay, Mom, Relay, Mom, Play, Mom, Relay, Mom.
I'm thankful for - My supportive husband who brings me back to reality when I really need it. 'No Abby, I don't think you need two pounds of pony beads for Relay".
From the Kitchen- Homemade sloppy joes and veggie chips... Mmmmm - oh and I found a can of chunky pineapple in the cupboards that I didn't know I had for lunch and that made me super happy.
I'm wearing- some khakis Capri pants that I didn't fit into last summer... but I do this summer and that's freaking fantastic, my "Diannes Battle" tee shirt and my zebra print flats.
I'm Going- to Jet City improv with the amazing advisors this evening, I'm so excited to hang out with these people - they're my favorite!
I'm Hoping- Mom feels better. She is really having a hard time with everything recently... and it saddens me, I'm looking for a turn around.
I'm hearing- Lots of twittering around the office - I need to turn on music and drown it out.
Around the house- Lots of mess, kitty box needs to be cleaned, kitchen needs to be cleaned, can't see the floor in my bedroom... but that's not what living life is about!
I'm wondering- where I'll conjure my energy from for the last few hours of today.
A few plans for the weekend- again, Jetcity improv this evening, and tomorrow the Seattle Cheese Festival! (yay)... Who knows what Sunday will bring!
A picture for a thought I'm sharing- Relay is on my mind for the next month... 24-7 just ask Eric ... I've been muttering things in my sleep... Yikes!
How are you inspired?

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...
