Ten on Wednesday - Because I'm totally a day off this week

1| Sorry guys - today's Wednesday, only in my brain it's Tuesday. That whole not working on a Monday thing really throws a gal for a loop. Plus, you'd probably rather have wonderful fun Christmas photos than my ramblings on a Tuesday after Christmas.

2| I am severely angry with my orange pet right now - so much so that I've given though to giving her away. I had a mini break down last night when I realized if it came to the wire that I couldn't ACTUALLY give her away... Stupid cat making her way to my heart. Oh Gracie what am I to do with you? =^..^=

3| The book I created for Mom's Memory arrived just before Christmas - it filled my heart with Joy, and a little sadness all the same time. I did okay through Christmas, but the hardest part was sitting in church on Christmas Eve with all the candlelight - I pretty much sobbed through the last 15 minutes of the service.

4| Ivan and Dawn stopped by Christmas Eve and it was such a blessing to spend some time with them! Wish you guys lived next door!

5| Eric and I had a wonderful Christmas - we totally spoiled each other, and that's the best way to do it (if you ask me). I got a beautiful scarf, a snail necklace, a Keurig coffee machine, an iPod Touch, and a few other little goodies. Looking forward to playing all. weekend. long.

6| Today my co-worker Alex identified a song for me that I have been trying to identify for the past 4 months or so. It was playing in the bathroom while I was washing my hands so I finished quickly and ran to the front desk to make Alex run to the bathroom to listen and tell me what it is. He succeeded and for that I am grateful. Oh and the song is "Pumped up Kicks" by the Foster People. Woot! That's totally going on my itunes!

7| Oh and that Supersecret Christmas present for Eric? It was a book I made on Shutterfly about the past 5 years of our Christmases together. It turned out super cute, and in 5 years I'll be making Volume 2. Yay for new traditions!

8| In all the Christmas Cards I sent I only got one returned to me - and it was my own fault, It makes me happy my Christmas wishes reached all!

9| Today is totally Tuesday - For the record.

10| Eric got the movie Super 8 for Christmas and we watched it last night. Best. Movie. Ever. It's like the Sandlot meets Goonies, with an alien, I know that description probably does it no justice, but trust me and watch it, you won't be disappointed!

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...
