Ten on Tuesday

1. I can't get roller derby off my mind. I have been reading books, Buying tickets, and wanting to roller skate. I've been walking around the house chanting "Derby, Derby, Derby!", true story, ask my husband.

2. I am thrilled that I scored $60 worth of costume accessories for $20 last night.

3. I am going to hang out with Megan tonight - WOOT!

4. I have backed off the white mocha train.... I have a new love for black coffee with a little sugar and half and half - My butt thanks me.

5. I am also turning the corner with the junkfood train, I'm an addict.

6. I have started working out again... ugh ... Legs hurt... So... Bad.

7. My bummer days are behind me. I have been rating my days an 8 out of 10 recently, so that's positive.

8. I think it's funny that I've tried to type this 3 times now and it still looks weird to me. Need break!

9. I am getting a cold. and it sucks.

10. I received the funniest e-mail ever this morning... Long story short, we pranked my college advisor in 2005 and plastered his office (and everything in his office) with these posters. He's still finding them 6 years later.

He wrote...
"Okay. I'm teaching confirmation on Sunday, the lesson is on sin as "missing the mark" and I bring the bucket of finger rockets. I hand out a few and find a Piece of paper crumbled up in the bottom. I scanned it and attached it (below) This has to be a record for prank duration. All I can ask is "are you proud of yourselves?"

Yes Chip, VERY PROUD!!! :)

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
