Mini Staycation!

 Sometimes living in a city makes you not look around you and enjoy what you have...
 Like the view from the top of the space needle... at night...
 So when friends come, and want to check out what Seattle has to offer, it feels like a mini vacation in a city you love so I figure it's my mini staycation which I totally needed.
 I love friends, pictures, and an excuse to drink coffee two or three times a day!
 I even rekindle my love for the Monorail!
 "GQ monorail"
 We have a love for bathroom mirror photos.
 We were enjoying the view... the coffee... the sights... the sounds!


 Can't get enough of that wonderful Duff!
 I have several pictures like this with several people, I might have to dig them out and post!
 Then, there's the gum wall...
 I love this candid shot of Kolby, it so describes our view of the gum wall!
 Oh Viaduct, I will Miss you.
And taking a ferry ride to some wine tasting? Yes please!
Thank you Liz, Kolby and Seattle for a great day! You made me fall in love with my city all over again!

Here's to tomorow- and the Fremont/Wallingford area!

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
