Ten on Thursday... Okay yeah I'm cheating - So what.

1| Feeling a little sassy today - wish things at work would get fixed, and I'll leave it at that. It's been a rough Thursday and God help me it's only 8:52am.

2| Despite #1 I have been trying really hard to "Choose my attitude". It's difficult, and stupid, and hard, and blah, but I LOVE IT (okay, see? choosing?!).

3| Eric took me to see The Dark Knight Rises and IT. IS. AMAZING. It's by far my favorite Batman movie so far. Any one who didn't like it... please write me an essay why, and then I'll show you why you're wrong ;) (See I told you I was feeling Sassy.)

4| It's been a good mail week for me. I've received a package every other day - and on Friday my replacement Fossil handbag comes! Yippee!!

5| Why the replacement you ask? Well, you remember the Fossil handbag I was in love with? Well, I decided it was going to Texas with me, and while sitting in the lobby of Reliant Stadium, I noticed that the straps were breaking. WHAT!? I had only had it since March, how could it possibly be BROKE! So I sent it to Fossil, Fossil couldn't fix it, so they gave me a gift card for the price of my hanbag + $10 for my troubles. So I purchased not one, but three Fossil items after I could not find my beloved Sea foam green Maddox satchel, perhaps they discontinued it because straps were breaking? Either way, It's a first world problem, and I giggled the entire time I was ordering my new handbag because what a freaking awesome problem to have.

7| In other news of broken items from Texas... Eric likes his replacement sunglasses too - but more importantly, I am looking into a new Canon. My Rebel broke at the San Antonio Riverwalk - Never travel with just one camera people, we travel with two and it totally saved our butts this time! So now I'm looking at the 60D. It's pretty.... :)

8| It's been nice taking a break from Studying this month, I get next month, and then I'll probably hit the books again. Sigh. Please Series 7 Gods, take pity on me.

9| Megan Slater (my favorite Jet City Rollergirl) sold me her B'Zerk wheels and Reds bearing set today for $50 (total steal) I am so excited to have a fast(er) set of wheels!

10| Speaking of Megan Slater, We went skating with our co-worker Mindy (as mentioned in a previous post) and now we've got Mindy hooked too... Bahwhwhahahahahah!!!! Also, Mindy jammed her thumb (sorry about that)...

11| HI JULIAN!!!!!!!!


Okay, I'm done!

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...
