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.

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.

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!

Thoughts of the American Pride Persuasion

I sat, mesmerized as I watched the “Breaking News” of the past 24 hours – Osama Bin Laden, Dead. What? I can’t really deny my mixed feelings about posting today. I don’t normally jump into the political rings but I can’t deny the HUGE news that swept our nation yesterday. So, this post has been thought out, a lot, typed really slowly, every word, intentional. Which is a huge leap from my normal ramblings of a Monday morning. We were sitting on the couch watching a movie, the movie ended and Eric turned on the news, and we watched, in awe. Just like September 11 th , I’ll always remember where I was when I heard the news. I can’t say I was ready to strap on a flag superhero cape style, and run up and down the street chanting “USA… USA… USA” like hundreds and thousands of other Americans in DC and New York, but then again, I wasn’t near ground zero, in Pennsylvania or at the pentagon the day that Osama Bin Laden became a household name. The American in me wants to be happy and
