Ten on Tuesday (only today's Wednesday)

1| Last night we took Aquaman over to see the Frank family! My Co-worker Meg and her husband Keaka invited us over for pizza. We took their kids and ours (Aquaman) to the park and they played until all three of them were nearly exhausted. Leilani and Ikiaka were so excited to play with the puppy! Aquaman was cashed out in the car on the way home, and woke me twice last night by his snoring. They were tuckered out! To say they had fun is obviously an understatement.

2| My friend Madge totally called me out on not posting Ten on Tuesday yesterday -which is why you're getting it today. I thought maybe my TWO posts yesterday would suffice, but I guess not (smile). Thanks for keeping me on track Madge!

3| My Uncle Gene is currently working with a company in Auburn. Gene has spent most of my life (and his I think at this point) in Yuma Arizona and we never got to see eachother much. I'm not sure how long he'll be in the Auburn area, but I'm looking forward to spending some time with him.


4| My Nephews started school yesterday. It hardly seems time to go back, but I guess it is.

5| My Lovely Niece (pictured) went to 8th grade orientation the other night She was SO embarrassed when her mom wanted to take pictures of her at orientation so she turned the back of her head to the camera - nice hair Erica. Then later they were dining on my favorite pizza, and I told them I was jealous, so she sent me the picture to the right... brat. I told her that she was lucky that MY mom didn't take her to orientation, because when she took me she pointed out all the boys she thought were cute / good enough for me, and the ones she thought weren't; and if you know my mom you know she wasn't exactly quiet or discreet about it.

6| Eric is headed to a gaming convention this weekend in Seattle. It's something his friend Nathan has ALWAYS wanted him to go to with him, and this year it finally worked out for them to go together! He's very excited, and I am excited too!

7| In direct relation to #6, my weekend will consist of work, derby, cleaning, watching my girlie tv shows and movies, and possibly crafting. Sounds like a dream!

8| There's a bright thing in the sky today - it's called the Sun, it makes me happy, so long as it doesn't turn into a 90 degree day!

9| Skating at Pattisons West tonight - I'm honing in on some of my skate skills, need. to. practice. I have a feeling derby practice on Sunday won't hurt so bad if I take the time to practice a couple times this week. Maybe. Possibly.

10| Today is a New day - I'm going to treat it as such.

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...
