Slice of Life : The I Miss him Edition

Outside my Window: A bustling Seattle on a Monday morning, nice and sunny out, going to be a scorcher today!

I'm thinking: about what Aquaman and I are going to do to cool off this afternoon.

I'm Thankful For: my husband working hard to make sure I eat healthy this week, if it were up to me, I’d be eating Mac and Cheese every day!

From the Kitchen: for lunch? Leftover tuna noodle casserole! Yep, I turned on the oven last night for dinner- I’m nuts.

I am wearing: My gaucho pants, and my “hippie” sweater, It’s a nice “Transition” outfit from work to riding home in sweaty bus seats – all I have to do is shove the (wrinkle resistant) sweater in my backpack and voila – 90 degree weather here I come!

I'm going: to not worry about Aquaman spending time in his kennel, to not worry about Aquaman spending time in his kennel, to not worry about Aquaman spending time in his kennel. If I say it enough It will come true!

I'm hoping: For a semi happy pup when I get home.

I'm Hearing: the clickity clack of the keyboards at work, I love my job, have I mentioned that recently?

I Love: Passion Iced Tea (sweetened) from Starbucks, It’s nummy.

Around the House: My cat is probably decimating my blinds and my dog is feeling sorry for himself in his kennel. Hopefully the house is staying cool enough for both of them today.

I'm wondering: if there’s a lake near my house that won’t be screaming busy come 4:00pm.

A few plans for the rest of the week: Quality Aquaman bonding time, and maybe some pictures… ooh and the Blackberries have started to ripen! Yay!

Here's a Picture for a thought I am sharing....

I miss him, he is, without a doubt, my better half.

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...
