Good Intentions...

Do they really pave the road to hell?

God I hope not! I really did have great intentions to have a productive weekend around the house since it was going to be just me and the animals, but things came up, life happened and here I sit on Sunday evening trying to keep my attitude on the upside as I face my alarm at 4:30 tomorrow morning which seems like way too soon.

I made an entire list that I wanted to conquer, and on that list of say 30 different things, I accomplished one, Friday night, I organized half of my crafty bits. I still need to hit the scrapbook supplies, but that's a whole other beast.

Saturday morning I headed off to work and my co-worker Megan and I suited up with our Derby gear toward the end of the work time and  skated into Eric's office. It was fun stuff. Lots of good pictures to come!

After work on Saturday I drove out to Auburn to meet up with my Uncle Gene. Gene has lived in Yuma Arizona for as long as I can remember, actually for as long as I have been alive. He has taken up a new work position in Auburn and so now I have a new neighbor - kind of. We went to Ikea and got him a couch, some pillows and a bed. They should be arriving at his house about now actually. We grabbed a bite to eat after shopping and then I came home. I am excited to have him close by, it will give me a good opportunity to get to know him!

After hanging out with Gene I picked Eric up at the light rail and we had a few moments to spend together and then I went to bed!

I went to Derby practice this morning, and dropped my dress off at the dry cleaners and now here I am, not moving let alone working on that 30 plus job item list I anticipating having energy for this weekend.

Oh well, there's always next 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...
