Ten on Tuesday

1| Happy Tuesday! I am in a damn good mood today but I think it's because I only have a 3 day work week this week! I didn't plan it that way but we got Monday off for MLK and Friday is Eric's birthday and I always try to take it off if I can so, I am!

2| I don't know if I ever bragged about my Christmas gifts on here but my Husband is one heck of a gift giver! He is so thoughtful! Three gifts I am particularly thankful for this morning is my Brave Bear hat which is super warm, my isotoner gloves which have the fingerless option as well as a full mitten! And last, but not least my thermos commuter coffee cup! It keeps my coffee piping hot! I've discovered it can keep it warm from 5 am and it is still drinkable around 2pm! Crazy! Pictured below !

3| this weekend was so nice! Makes me think I could do 4 ten hour days and have a three day weekend every week! If only it were an option!

4| I have started my Series 7 studying again, I don't have a hard date for the test yet but I will let you know when I do! I am thinking April or May depending on how my studying is going!

5| taking the above into consideration I think I have a learning disability of sorts! It goes in one ear and out the other, I am trying I promise!

6| I have discovered that at the ripe old age of 28 I am getting gray hairs! Eeeek!!! Thanks to Mom dying her hair most of her life I don't even have a clue as to when she went gray but I know my dad was young. So now there's the decision to hide it and due my hair or embrace it and pray my husband doesn't mind me with gay hair!

7| I went shopping at two big blondes this weekend and picked up 6 new tops! I love that place! A whole week of new wardrobe, here I come!

8| I don't know if I have ever sung enough praises to my iPhone but that is what I am blogging on right now as Make my way to work! I love this damn thing! So, please excuse the typos and and fat fingers!

9| the fingerless option on my mittens works wonders for typing on my iPhone :)

10| I did a lot of Pinterest browsing this weekend and I am doing a lot of research to share on my Halloween blog! Yay for year round Halloween love! (Www.spooky-scary.blogspot.com)

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...
