The Calm after the Storm...

It's been a busy weekend. One of those weekends that leave me wishing on Sunday that Monday was a Market Holiday. But alas it is not and we must forge on!

I'm headed to the bath, but wanted to jot down all the amazing parts of this weekend while they're still fresh in my mind and since Ten on Tuesday has pretty much FAILED recently, I'm going with Seven on Sunday? What can I say I like alliterations.

1| Aquaman turned 4 on Friday - as you can tell by my 3 posts about him this week. I just love my little pup so much and he is now snoring by my side. Life is good.

2| It's been kind of on the low down, but I have to say I am REALLY excited about my NEW co-worker that I get to start training on May 7th. Such a great opportunity for her - Oh, and she's a good friend of mine too! Looking forward to seeing her shining face more often!

3| The Oleson Ronnebeck family had quite the weekend together. We hung out Friday, Saturday and Sunday. We're not sick of each other... yet.

4| Friday night was Make your own pizza night, and Marbles!

5| Saturday I studied for 3 hours, and then Eric and Aquaman came to the library to rescue me. I was supposed to take it easy on the studying this weekend. Then we picked up the Olesons (dropped Aqua at home) and headed to Key arena to watch some DERBY!

6| Sunday I studied with Kat for awhile down at Marine View, and then We all went to Lowes to pick out stuff for our garden for the summer. Tim and Eric spent the day weeding and planting, and Katherine and I went gallivanting. Eric and I wrapped up the night by watching the Muppets... LOVE it!

7| Speaking of gallivanting - would someone remind me the next time I decide to go into a Vegan store it might be kind of me to leave my LEATHER purse in the car. Thanks.

What a wonderful weekend - back to the grind. The Big test is scheduled for June 4th... It's ON!

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...
