Girls being Girls

After work yesterday I met my good friend Dawn downtown for Happy hour at Sazerac's. We like Sazerac's because they have a pretty cheap happy hour and it includes these amazingly delicious truffle cheese potato balls which we normally order 2 plates of!

We decided to share a bunch of Tapas and Finger foods because we couldn't decide what to order.

We ordered

- 2 orders of Potato Truffles

- Spinach Leek Dip

- Sour dough grilled cheese

- Cheeseburger sliders

- Mixed spiced nuts

- Turnip soup

- Sweet potato fries

Does that look like a lot of food? because it was!!!!

After we couldn't eat another bite we headed out down the street to Bed, Bath and Beyond because we had a gift certificate to share from Dawn winning a prize with my amazing Jelly fish costume!

We walked around the entire store before we chose the same item - a beautiful teal scarf. I also found a laptop case for my computer for only $7!

Then, we walked back to Dawn's car to head home.

We chatted and enjoyed the pure girl time - and watched an out of control driver nearly flip his car on 509!

It was such a great night hanging out, so we've decided to do it more often (after pay day of course).

Thanks for the great night Dawn... and because I know you're reading this HI JULIAN!!!

:) Me.

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...
