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?

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...
