Ten on Tuesday

  1. I'm trying to keep my smile on my face, really I am. I am trying to be a happier person, really, I am. I am trying to keep my frown from turning upside down, really, I am. My positive attitude has been lost somewhere inside of me, and I'm working on it.
  2. Eric made some bread pudding this week, and WOW, it's so good.
  3. I am falling increasingly in love with the Protein plate from Starbucks, I can almost NOT resist buying it for breakfast.
  4. Why do I keep talking about food? Oh ... because I LOVE it - and I have started working out again. Which is slowly but surely coming along.
  5. Aquaman and Gracie are the best pets in the universe. Gracie is coming around in leaps and bounds and she is making me incredibly happy - and my dog is so cute, let's just face it.
  6. ROLLERDERBY ROCKS MY WORLD - I am waiting on two books (and one documentary) to come in to the Des Moines Library so I can read up! I'm psyched!
  7. Mom is having a decent week - that makes me smile.
  8. My new phone is kicking butt - and I love it, though I think I need to find a case for it so I don't destroy it.
  9. The sun is shining in my window today - another cup of coffee and I should be on my way!
  10. My life is about setting little goals right now - this week, I'm going to pick up my camera more - even if it means exploring my phone camera.

Merry Craftmas!!

When I was little Mom had one of these to put out every Christmas. I remember her tossing it out having fixed its hot glue after every warm summer in the shed, she wasn't particularly attached to it but I was. Having collected enough baby food jars (finally) I put it together this weekend! Looks just like I remember it and now it is sitting in my closet awaiting its debut next weekend!

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!

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...
