Ten on Tuesday

1| For those of you who care, I have been fairing 29 just fine. I swear a few more grey hairs have popped in, but I have a good outlook - My Grandma Myla happens to be one fine looking silver haired lady... Bring it on! Plus, Eric already promised me he'd love me with grey hair, so now I REALLY don't have much to fear.

2| Headed BACK to the eye doctor on Thursday. I didn't really blog about it, but I went two weeks ago, and didn't love what the Doc had to say. She gave me a few trial pairs of contacts, but basically boiled it down to "Quit wearing those things so darn much". So, here I am all clad in my glasses, trying to be an obedient eye patient. I will let you know more about the appointment after Thursday.

3| My puppy isn't so much a puppy anymore. I see all my friends talk about their kids "Growing up" but I can start to see some old man traits in my Aquaman and it makes me sad. He's still a ball of energy though, no worries about that.

4| Gracie has decided she likes us. Don't stop the presses, but I'd be lying if I said I thought that this would ever happen. This morning I came back in the room from my shower to find her snuggled right up to Eric, IN BED. Did you just read that?! I can't believe I typed it!

5| My I Phone is the best thing that's ever happened to my crazy flow of a life. I think I spend more time on my cell phone while I'm in transit on the bus, and during my lunch hour, but I spend less time on the computer when I get home, so I'm going to call that a win.

6| My Relay for Life Teams and committee are rocking the HOUSE!!!!!!!!!! We've really been excelling this year - I love my dedicated committee - you should go LIKE us on FACEBOOK! Spread the cancer killing word people!

7| I've been asked to "Share my story" at a Team Captain Experience that the American Cancer Society is hosting in Burien next month. Last time I attempted to talk about Mom in public I ended up sobbing in front of some 150 people. That was not even a year after she passed, I think I can do this now. Plus, what a group of diligent listeners.

8| For the first time in the last 3 years I haven't been aching to go to a Derby Bout. I don't know if I've re prioritized or if I've seen too much "Inside track" on Roller Derby... either way I don't like it.

9| That being said, there's rumors about the Supersonics returning to Seattle and I couldn't be more excited for basketball - it's always been my first sport love.

10| I'm married to the man of my dreams - I know it's corny and you've heard it... but he makes my world so much happier. I came home tonight to a home cooked meal and a smile on his face. Hallelujah!

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...
