Ten on Tuesday - 801!

1| This is my 801'st post for this here humble blog. YAY! Thanks for hanging in there with me!

2| Today my Husband is going to south center to buy our NEW Dania Couch! I'm so excited! I'm not sure when we'll get it delivered but I can't wait!

3| A big thank you to Dawn & Ivan for taking our old couch off our hands!

4| I got two free ride tickets from Metro in the mail which was a mailing basically asking us to ride the bus. Big miss Metro, you should have sent them to me because I'm such a dedicated rider - it's okay, I'll still use them, but KNOW your audience!

5| I was seriously excited about our pumpkins that we got at Bo's. I want to go back for more! Though my husband keeps reminding me that I don't NEED more... who said carving pumpkins was about NEED anyways?

6| Speaking of Metro - I'd like to take the time to say to the City of Seattle THANK YOU for screwing up my commute by hacking at the Via Duct. I'm looking forward to getting off at 3:15 and not getting home till close to 5... Can't wait.

7| Okay - channeling more positive things now. I'm working on a book for Mom and it's morphed several times since my initial download off the blog. I'm now looking at doing more of a journal format with pictures as opposed to a book. What do you think?

8| I sent my nephews a pumpkin carving kit so they can do Star Wars pumpkins this year, I'm excited to see how they turn out! I also sent my Niece some stickers that are super Halloweenie and cute... Yay for Halloween!

9| In the meantime of our old couch and our new one, we have the small couch from the bedroom in the living room and I feel like a college kid all over again! It's nice and floral patterned Gross.

10| I ripped a giant hole in my coat this week somehow, the bright side of that? NEW COAT!

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...
