Ten on Thursday (Give me a break - it's been a tough week)

1- I'm in South Dakota - 3rd time this year, 2nd time in 3 weeks. Mom is sick, really sick, like not leaving the house kind of sick. We're all together though, that helps.

2- Working remotely has given me the chance to be with my family right now - what a wonderful blessing and thank you KMS for everything this opportunity has given me.

3- Kathy, Kevin, Erica and I set up Kathy's pool the first day I got here. I'm so excited to take a dip.

4- Erica was more excited than I was, she jumped in tonight - though Uncle Todd sweetened the deal with some cold hard cash.

5- Hanging out with Mom is so peaceful. I never thought I could be idle enough to just sit, hold my Mom's hand and gaze out the window.

6- My flight into the Rockies was Rocky... I hate flying into Denver.

7- I feel at home here, but I miss my Aquaman, Gracie and yes, that Husband of mine too.

8- Heart to hearts with your sister, aunt, grandma or niece can be just the right medicine.

9- We would love some cheer via snail mail - stick a card in the box... it would brighten our day.

10 - wow, this post is kind of drab... meh, such is life.

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
