Mothers Day

I walked into Safeway Friday night, and it slapped me right in the face. Mothers Day.
I can kind of ignore it when I hear the ad's on TV or see them in the paper, but when the day draws near, and you walk into a grocery store and you can barley see the ceiling for all of the Mothers Day balloons, well then It kind of sends me into a panic. 

It's anxiety. It's the anxiety of not having a Mom near by. Mom's are such a safety net, and such a source of loving support that when yours isn't near, it's never MORE apparent then when everyone else is celebrating theirs!

Today I celebrate My Mom, albeit in a very different way then everyone else.

I bought one of those balloons - a blue one, her favorite, and I took awhile to sit down and write a heart felt note just as if I was filling out  a card to her.

Then, this afternoon I walked out to my balcony and let it go up to the heavens, and cried. and cried. and cried. I miss her. I think each day gets easier and harder, and I'm not even sure how to explain that. 

Some days I'm fine, and the next I feel like theirs a Mom shaped hole in my chest.

The best I can do is remember her, celebrate her and draw up in my memory her smile. Her laugh. The things that made her special to me, and the things that make me miss her so much. 
She's a great Mom. I just wish she wasn't so far away.

Miss you Momma, today, and every day. Happy Mothers Day to you!

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...
