Still Skateless

I have been thinking less and less about derby skating lately and more and more about just skating in general. My knee is still weak, I am still a ways away from skating and even further from derby skating. I have been asked a lot about "when am I going to be on a team" and really, I don't know the answer to that, and I'm not entirely sure if it will ever happen at this point. I guess I'm a little discouraged, but mostly taking derby practice out of my life freed up my time, and after spending an entire weekend doing next to nothing I don't feel entirely guilty about not skating right now. Right after my injury I felt pressure to get back on wheels asap, but I think taking my time and listening to my body has been the best answer for me. I would like to get back to the rinks at least once a week here in the near future, but I am mostly concentrating on being able to walk up stairs without pain. It's the little things in life! Rat City season opener is on Saturday and I can't WAIT, I guess I'll REALLY know how I feel about getting back on my wheels after I see them play!

ALWAYS listen to your body, and your heart, they won't steer you wrong.

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...
