Ten on Tuesday

1| Labor day weekend proved to be very productive. I really wish I had one more day off work just to relax.
 
 2|Gracie obviously got the memo about 3day weekends being for relaxation, this is what she did all day today; laid in her box and loved life.

3| It's been sunny all weekend, and I've drank more iced coffee than I'd care to think about. Summer is definitely ending around here, but I'm okay with how it's leaving us.
4| After derby practice on Saturday Eric and I cleaned out our storage unit and took an entire car load of stuff to Goodwill - including but not limited to 3 tv's (of varying sizes) a computer monitor, folding chairs and clothes. It feels good to be able to WALK into our storage unit.

5| Friday night and Sunday night we spent with Tim and Katherine, It feels so good to have them home again. We missed them

6| Bloody marbles was a hit at game night with Eric, Tim & Kat. I've been playing it most of my life with my Grandma Nani and cousins. It feels good to teach it to people, and remember the fond and not so fond bloody marbles memories.

7| Eric and I bought a HUGE book shelf at Ikea on Sunday. He assembled it today, and we filled it with all our stuff!
 I LOVE IT!
 8| A few of my favorite shelf compilations - My Halloween books (above) The Wizard of Oz shelf (Below).

9| It took us most of the weekend to gut our old shelves and make room for the new one, we're still not done, and I should probably quit blogging and get back to it.

10| I needed this weekend... I would love to have another to do it all over again.

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
