Something New : Recycling!

So... Remember this post?
Inspired by an invention that should be called... STUPID CELL PHONE.

Well... a few months later I posted that I had dropped my New Nokia Twist in a mud puddle, and had to start using my old Voyager that was throwing fits!

I have had my Voyager working pretty well for the past few months up until this afternoon, when it just dropped dead even with a full charge.

So after letting my Twist dry out in rice for a couple days it works... kind of.

I would just buy a new phone... but they cost lots of money ... that I don't have... to blow on a STUPID CELL PHONE.

Or maybe I'm just holding out on principle.

Either way... after work I'm off to reactivate my twist with my fingers crossed that it will last until I'm available for an upgrade - or at least till December.

But here's where the "Something New" comes into place. I used to just buy up a new phone when the old one even started glitching. I have been using two old / broken cell phones all year! Go me!
UGH FOR CELL PHONES...

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...
