Weekend O' Theater

I didn't really realize until last week just how jam packed my weekend was going to be. I even took Monday off to recover from the craziness. It actually turned out fairly relaxed, but I am glad that I have the extra day anyways, I need it.

Friday night started off with Happy Hour with Dawn. We walked down to our old trusty Sazerach to have potato balls and visit, but they were closed to a private party - BOO! So we headed to The Rock Bottom Brewery instead and had some tasty food! I walked her to the light rail, and walked around Forever 21 for awhile, which shamefully is one of my new favorite stores (sigh).

After that I met Mindy at the 5th Avenue theater to see the Addams Family Musical! Being the Halloween nut that I am, I loved it! Without Mindy's persistence and wanting to see it, I don't know if I would have gotten through the door, but that's cause I'm a procrastinator like that! So, Thank you Mindy! One of my favorite parts of the show was their entrance, because it was just so... so... Addams. If you get a chance to see it, please do, the cast does such a wonderful job!  More of a review over at my halloween blog!


I got home quite late, but woke early on Saturday to head to the Northwest Coffee festival with Eric, Kat, and Tim. Which is possibly the most pretentious thing I've ever been to. We Sniffed and drank coffee. It was a delicious $10 festival, but quite small. We were only there for about an hour when we decided we had enough coffee and chocolate (as if there's such a thing) and we went for lunch at Smarty Pants which is a delicious sandwich shop/bar in Georgetown. We spent some time walking around Georgetown, played a little teather ball and shopped. After that I came home and took a nap. Eric and I went grocery shopping and then we hung out and watched Mad Men!

This morning I woke with a skip in my step, for today we headed to see Wicked! I have been waiting SO long to see this musical! It was in town a couple years ago, but we couldn't really afford the tickets without sitting in the back row, and I just didn't want to have that experience, so we let it pass us by, and I crossed my fingers hoping it would come back, and like everything good in life, it came back in perfect timing, and me and my ruby slippers were ready!

Katherine and Tim helped us get tickets, so we all got to go together, and we had some pretty fantastic seats! We obviously can't take pictures in the theater, so here's the outside, and my favorite part of the show brought to you by youtube!

Most memorable? The Flying Monkeys are WAY scarier in Wicked than they are in the movie! And our Cast was amazing!

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...
