Seven on Sunday

1| We watched Crazy Stupid Love this weekend - It was super cute! And Ryan Gossling is a total dish!

2| I rarely cook dinner, so Eric was excited when I told him I was going to take on the challenge of goulash this evening. Upon turning on the stove top, and getting the meat cooking - the back burner made a loud popping noise and a spark flew up from it - and then the stove (and oven) quit working. Awesome. We have a call into our landlords, and hopefully by the end of next week we can quit eating out because our stove will be working again - or we'll have a new one.

3| It's not secret that Gracie is a mean cat. She has been warming up here and there - tonight she sat on the couch right next to me. The whole family was on the couch at once - I was happy... and then I took a few pictures of the auspicious occasion, and she ran for the hills. That type of love is NOT to be documented.

4| My knee has been really bothering me lately. I am suspecting that my GP doctor didn't diagnose as well as he could have, and that I possibly hurt it worse than I thought I did. So Ice, and Elevation have been my friend, and I'll be seeing a Sports Medicine Doctor soon, well, as soon as I can get in.

5| Eric and I went for coffee and a scone at Blue Vanilla this morning, it's becoming my favorite Saturday ritual.

6| Friday night we went over to Kerri & John's for supper with them, Tim & Kat and Nate & Amanda, It was so much fun to visit and hang out  with them! Thanks for a great night guys!

7| Relay for Life Kick Off is in just a few hours (2-4) Come bowl for free at Hiline lanes! Yay!

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...
