Ten on Tuesday

1| Have I mentioned that I got to meet Rettig 2 Rumble this weekend, and got my picture taken with her?  Rettig 2 Freeking Rumble! Okay, I'm over it... not really.

2| That being said, due to the quality of the Rettig photo, I may be getting a point and shoot camera relatively soon, by no fault of the photographer of said photo, often people just don't know how to use my camera, and my photos like this turn out less than amazing. I'm still thrilled I have it!

3| It's fall which means more hot beverages to drink - Hurrah!

4| This week I don't have ANYTHING to do after work till Thursday, and then that's just skating, Thank you GOD!

5| September weekends are starting to fill up with activities with friends ... Love it!

6| Tonight's grand plans involve, working out - putting away laundry - and scrap booking! YAY!

7| Eric's been super excited about Football season, it's cute!

8| Our house project(s) are coming along... Thank you GOD. I am looking forward to having a tidy house.

9| My mood has increased exponentially in the past few days, not sure what it is, but I blame the amount of coffee / tea I've been drinking.

10| I was told today that I was the most reasonable person someone knows... weird.

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
