Ten on Tuesday


1| I am inexplicably crabby today. If answers from me come out in grunts and groans, I’m sorry in advance. I just kind of feel like I have a chip on my shoulder – Need. More. Sleep.

2| After studying for 7 hours on Saturday I was feeling motivated to do more on Sunday – I went to pull out the Love Sac to plug in my computer and all hell broke loose. The beloved Love Sac had created it’s own little infestation of mold against the wall. Eric scrubbed, and I removed the cover to wash when I discovered the mold went all the way through – to the foam.

3| In related news, Rest In Pieces Love sac… Rest in Pieces. 16 garbage bags FULL of stuffing later… We have a LOT more room in our room and I have a lot of ache in my back.

4| I’ve been channeling my inner Wonder Woman lately, and have been star spangling anything I can get my hands on. I guess I’m excited for Comicon! (31 days!)

5| I didn’t watch the Oscars because I was watching the Walking Dead instead. Anyone who is intrigued by the Zombie phenomenon needs to be watching this show… It’s Fantastic!

6| We got our taxes done last night – yeah for returns!

7| To Dawn and Julian – I am glad you’re happy I’m staying… I think of you two every time I click “post”!

8| To Dawn, I’m cheating on you with Megan tonight – we’re going to eat some Potato Truffles, I’m sorry. I’ll make it up to you. If you can also teach me options trading while we visit, I can make it up to you sooner rather than later!

9| My dear friend (and co-worker) Alex is leaving us at the end of May to pursue his acting/managing dreams, and though I wish him the best. I’m super sad to see him go. He’s been my steady source of sanity for the past 4 years, and it’s been a blessing to have him around. If you’re in the Seattle area you need to check out his group when they’re putting on a play, they’re a fantastic group of talent and I have to put out to word to support Satori always! Thanks Alex, you’re a gem.

10| Relay for Life is coming closer and closer! Get signed up today!

Yes, that’s all I have in me…

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...
