Soaking In the Crazy

1| I gave up on Facebook - and it feels great! I feel completley Unconnected... (kind of) and I really don't miss the daily dose of drama that I wasn't really even involved in (most of the time).  Now, in full disclosure I have looked at it - checked my messages, but unless you're reaching out to me, I'm not seeing the daily feed of dribble.

2| Coffee - The lifeblood. I'm not really sure I'd be able to function right now without it.

3|  Work - ugh... I don't really want to talk about this. It's been stressful. Why you may ask? Well, because our Annual Conference is next week, and that always amps up my work level by like 110%. I hate feeling behind and for the past 2 weeks, I've been... behind.

4| Series 7 - See above. I haven't made much progress in study material this week, the labor day weekend and the conference has made me all but pass out when I get home at the end of my day. next week, the conference will be over and I hope to get back on track and get this thing behind me!

5| Spooky-Scary - Thanks for asking! My Halloween blog www.spooky-scary.blogspot.com is up and running! We're averaging 2 posts weekly, till October - then we go Daily! EEEEK! Halloween!!!!

6| My husband - Oh him? We haven't been able to spend a lot of time together recently, life has been crazy. But last night we ran some errands and ate some food together - it was good to reconnect!

7| My fat butt - I've been gaining weight... I've got no one to blame except myself, I'm a stress eater, and I eat my feelings, so by the time this month is over I should be about 110 pounds heavier. Seriously though, I gotta get back on track.

8| Thrifting - See... the thing about thrifting is yes, everything is CHEAP... the other thing about thrifting is you buy MORE, CRAP (sometimes) you don't need... because it's CHEAP! So, I'm taking the next couple weekends off from it, and trying to purge my closet.

9| Gracie, Aquaman and Luna - We're all getting along... officially. Gracie still isn't super thrilled about this new little black fluff ball, and after the past 3 hours of her nearly hanging from the curtains I'm not to thrilled with the kitten stage myself, but this too shall pass, and now that she's sleeping on her pillow beside me, I think... :( She wont' be a kitten forever!

10| Our house - see 1-9 it's a disaster right now... call first, stop by second :)

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...
