Ten on Tuesday

1 | This weekend I went to 2 Big Blondes and shopped till I dropped. I got 2 pair of pants, 2 tops, 3 skirts and a jacket for $56! I was so proud. Thanks to Julie, Nell & Kat for being the best shopping buddies!

2| After shopping we went to Cheeky Cafe on Jackson, and boy was that Pasta Carbonara exactly what I needed!

3| We had Tim, Kat and Lee over for Superbowl Sunday - there was lots of Chili, Cornbread and Beer on hand. So good to get together with friends.

4| Eric and I took Aquaman out for a walk in the park on Saturday and he was so excited his poor little feet could barley keep up with how fast he wanted to run! I guess someone has a little spring fever!

5| Last night was my first Team Captain's meeting for Relay and it went pretty well. I am hoping next time I prepare a little more in advance than the day of.

6| Series 7 studying isn't killing me as much as it used to, I'm either learning something or just accepting my fate. Either is just as possible as the other.

7| My knee gets very tried at the end of the day, except that's a good thing becasue that means it will be at my worst when I head to the doctor tomorrow!

8| I turn 28 this week. 2-8.

9| .... Ugh... Where's my Team spirit lately?

10| Sooooooo Tired......

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...
