As Random as it Gets

-My best friend Heidi is a Mommy. I understand it happened last night, but I still don’t know when we grew up and started marrying boys and having babies, by “we” I mean her.

-Three and a half hours on the phone with your Mom can be the biggest uplift you’ll ever have in life. Mom and I got on the phone the other day, and kept talking, and talking and talking. It was the best way to spend an evening! Thanks Mom… I love you.

-I’m not sure what I’d do without my Husband who helps me pray every night. He’s pretty wonderful. -Halloween has not taken over my world this year as it has done in the past few years, I’m not sure what’s wrong with me, I just can’t fully “Dive IN” like I normally do. Maybe it’s my lack of Hocus Pocusing.

-Is pocusing a word? Nope!

-I think the greatest snack in the world are the Savory Thin Mini Crackers from Trader Joes, bet you can’t eat just one!

-I signed up for the Relay Summit in Sea Tac for the weekend of the 23rd. I’m pretty excited/nervous to attend! I’m all signed up – no backing out now!

-Streamlining and organizing things makes me happy – I’m sure it drives my co-workers crazy that my desk looks different every other week of the year.

-I still can’t get over how icky VIA coffee is from Starbucks. Yech.

-Life is scary. Period. This is not a new revelation.

-I hate having anxiety, about … everything.

-I love typing “…” have you ever noticed that? I use “…” every time I’m thinking…or pausing… or ending a sentence… does it annoy you? It kind of annoys me…

-My new coffee mug is rocking my world… did I mention that I found one? After the destruction of my old one(s) I was unbelievably sad! I found this one for 53 cents at Good will. Rock star!

-I'm not sure I've ever written a post as random as this one was

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...
