Coming out of my Shell

After being in South Dakota for a whole week, I got home and crawled into my Abby shell and didn't peak out ... at all, oh I guess except for work. I would come home from work, and crawl into my [beloved] tye-dyed snuggie, and sit on the couch, and vegg.

When the weekend came (last weekend) there was lots of talk about football around my house, and I secluded myself to my bedroom / scrapbooking table and didn't come out to see the light of day.

I am back to normal now.

I got my "Me" time in that was so needed after a wonderful trip to my family.

I never knew how much "Me" time I get in a day till I get zero, and no matter how much I love the people I'm around, my body still craves that quiet and still; that time to just be.

This weekend I'm back amongst the living! I am so excited to see my friends this weekend and spend some time with Aquaman & Eric.

Ivan and Dawn will be coming over tonight, Mariya on Saturday and Katherine on Sunday.

Lord, thank you for my family and friends.

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...
