Ten on Tuesday

1| I’m baaack… Okay, maybe a “weekly” post really isn’t for me. Try as I may, I fail. But I’m glad you read anyways. I’m trying to be better.

2| I’ve had a serious case of being bummed out recently. I know I have a lot on my plate, and that losing Mom has been hard, and that my knee is really pissing me off, but man I’m ready to be over it. It sounds simple, like “Just be happy – 123 GO”, trust me it’s not, but I am aware of it, and I am diligently trying to make things better.

3| Eric and I sat down last night and pinned down our vacation for the year. Texas bound we are, in June! I wish I could start going on and on about Texas, but really, I’m not sure what to see while I’m there, I’ve never heard “When you go to Texas you HAVE to…” so I definitely need to do some research. I’m very excited to see Miss Laurel & her hubby Jon though, so good to have friends in places!

4| I went into the doctor’s office yesterday to have my MRI done on my knee. I did really well at laying there for 45 minutes perfectly still. I didn’t have to re-take any of the scans he did, and I didn’t get claustrophobic at all. I think I may have if he had put me all the way in the tube though.

5| I ordered my sister’s birthday present yesterday on a whim. I hope she likes it! I can’t tell you what it is though, because she reads this! I saw it online and knew that’s what I wanted to get her! I love you Sissy!

6| I wrote a list of goals for myself before I turn 29 to my friend Megan the other day and it made me realize where my priorities are… It’s obviously not an “all inclusive” list, but it’s something I’d like to shoot for, though none of the goals are super specific.  1.) Pass the Series 7 & 66   2.) Get my photography hobby in gear   3.) Get back on skates   4.) be a more positive person   5.) Be happy with me   6.) find more time to hang out with Megan.  

7| It’s Valentine’s day. I could care less I guess. We should probably get our “anti-Valentines day” dinner scheduled with the Olesons.

8| My husband is seriously the best guy ever, I don’t have any specific reason to trigger this comment, but there’s something about walking in the door at the end of a very long day to a warm hug and a hot dinner! He’s so super supportive of everything, and I can’t say thank you enough. This post totally makes me think of him, and smile.

9| The Series 7 is reminding me why I hated college and school (in general) so much. Study, study, study. (Grunt, moan, groan)

10|Yesterday was my 900th post on this blog. Who knew I'd make it this far? I have a tenancy to drop things rather quickly, I'm quite proud of this little blog that could.

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.

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!

Thoughts of the American Pride Persuasion

I sat, mesmerized as I watched the “Breaking News” of the past 24 hours – Osama Bin Laden, Dead. What? I can’t really deny my mixed feelings about posting today. I don’t normally jump into the political rings but I can’t deny the HUGE news that swept our nation yesterday. So, this post has been thought out, a lot, typed really slowly, every word, intentional. Which is a huge leap from my normal ramblings of a Monday morning. We were sitting on the couch watching a movie, the movie ended and Eric turned on the news, and we watched, in awe. Just like September 11 th , I’ll always remember where I was when I heard the news. I can’t say I was ready to strap on a flag superhero cape style, and run up and down the street chanting “USA… USA… USA” like hundreds and thousands of other Americans in DC and New York, but then again, I wasn’t near ground zero, in Pennsylvania or at the pentagon the day that Osama Bin Laden became a household name. The American in me wants to be happy and
