Slice of Life : The Sunshine of my life Edition

Outside my Window: A very fall day in Seattle, - Rainy, Wet, and yet, somehow, still beautiful.

I'm thinking: About my storage unit full of Halloween decorations, today, tomorrow? Friday – when are they going to go up? What’s your guess?

I'm Thankful For: Advances in Medical Technology. Between Mom, Shannon and Dad, I’m so thankful for all that Doctor’s know nowadays.

From the Kitchen: I’m praying for something other than Chili tonight, two giant bowls later - though delicious... I'm done.

I am wearing: An outfit that makes me look “30’s something accounting”. Black pants, green sweater, hair in pony tail, obnoxiously loud jewelery.

I'm going: straight home after work for some R&R and homemade food, and puppy love!

I'm hoping: that we can find a cure, that doesn’t involve invasive things that make my Mom sick and that she gets better like yesterday. I’m hoping that the spot on Shannie’s lung isn’t cancer, and that Dad keeps himself on the straight and narrow and out of the hospital. Dear GOD, I know you think I’m tough, but I’m over it.

I'm Hearing: my bed call my name. I haven’t been sleeping super well recently, I think I need “calming sounds” cd to drown out my brain!

I Love: Our home. It is so snuggly and fall like right now, and it makes me not want to leave … at all.

I'm wondering: What tomorrow will bring!

A few plans for the rest of the week: Rest, Relaxation and GIRL TIME with Mariya!!! Yea!

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

Sometimes the sunshine in your life isn't just from the bright thing in the sky, it's from all around you. I have the most supportive family and friends, and for that... I am thankful.

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...
