First World Problems

 The first time I heard the phrase "first world problems" I didn't really stop to think what it meant. But the phrase came back to me this morning as I pulled my RED Coke can out of the box and sat it next to my WHITE Coke can. I thought about the great "Coke Can Controversy of 2011" and thought about how nice it is that the biggest complaint people have in their life is that their $2 soda is the wrong color... Sigh. Thank you America.

And then it it me again, as I was walking down the street with my arms full of Starbucks (for my co-workers and myself) My arms were getting tired carrying all this hot liquid... again. First. World. Problem. My Starbucks being TOO HEAVY! UGH. I hate myself sometimes.
Either way... YAY For morning Starbucks, and RED Coke Cans, or White for that matter!
Happy Tuesday... (Ten on Tuesday may or may not be cancelled, we'll see how I feel later)

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!

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...

Merry Craftmas!!

When I was little Mom had one of these to put out every Christmas. I remember her tossing it out having fixed its hot glue after every warm summer in the shed, she wasn't particularly attached to it but I was. Having collected enough baby food jars (finally) I put it together this weekend! Looks just like I remember it and now it is sitting in my closet awaiting its debut next weekend!
