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!!! :)

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...
