Weekendness

We had such a great weekend! It was the kind of weekend that makes me sigh with happiness instead of frustration!

I will try not to blather on about it too much because then my Ten on Tuesday will totally suck. But here are some highlights.

  • Friday night random errand night which included Michaels, Claim Jumper and a profitable stop at Game Stop. Eric turned some of our unused games into $40 store credit at Game Stop! WOOT!
  • Saturday Morning we went down to Blue Vanilla Bakery... yummm. I brought my camera in high hopes that I'd be a picture snapping fool, but then it started to rain, and my camera spent the entire journey in my pouch of my hoodie - BOOOO!
  • Saturday Afternoon? Baked Chocolate Coffee Frosted cookies, my best batch to date!
  • Checked out Fast Girl Skate Shop in Wallingford. We stopped by to get tickets to the next RCRG's Bout, but really it left me chanting "Derby, Derby, Derby" all night long.
  • That being said, I got to pick up my NEW OWLY Book at the Comics Dungeon right next to the Skate Shop. YAY NEW OWLY!!!
  • Saturday Evening - Spent some much needed time with our amazing wonderful (blog reading) friends Dawn & Ivan!
  • Sunday morning - Gallivanting with Katherine - always a pleasure
  • Sunday evening - Time with Jessie & Lori... wonderful!
  • Sunday Night - Time with my husband... Blissful!
What did YOU do this weekend?

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
