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?

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
