Slice of Life: The One year ago edition...

I try really hard to be a positive person. Even more so, I try really hard to keep this blog positive, because really, who wants to come here every day to listen to a negative Nelly (or Debby Downer if you’d rather)?

I think I haven’t been posting as much because I’ve had kind of a negative attitude lately. I’ll snap out of it, I promise… eventually.

This morning got off to a rough start… there was some puke involved, not mine, but still… rough for a Tuesday morning!

I am going to do a “Slice of Life” today to keep my mind thinking positively… Hopefully that will help!

Outside my Window: a foggy Seattle… when did the fog roll in? Oh well – I’m glad to have a day without disgusting hot weather! The heat doesn’t get me too bad till I get on the bus to ride home… 80 degree temperatures + Vinyl seats on the bus = Discomfort.
I'm Thinking: that my feathered headband was a good choice this morning, it makes me feel cute.
I'm Thankful: That my husband let me watch TLC last night… sometimes a girl just needs a little TLC!
From the Kitchen: A frozen meal that I’m not too psyched about – classic meatloaf, potatos & corn… oh and a berry cobbler that I can’t eat… urgh, berries!
I am Wearing: My black, teal and camel colored skirt with a cute floral design on it, matching teal shirt, my brown jewelry from Heidi’s wedding (to bring together that camel color in the skirt… obviously), and my Feathered headband… I look pretty awesome today if I do say so myself, well in comparison to yesterday…
I am going: crazy… 123456 switch… crazy going slowly am I 654321 switch. No where really… home after work I guess, Oh and then to the Call Committee meeting.
I am hearing: “Under pressure” by Queen… how awesome is that?
I am wondering: how my Halloween blog is going to shape up, and if I have enough Halloween gusto to keep it going for one month, or two… decisions, decisions.
I LOVE: that my husband makes me smile every day…even when I don’t want to smile.
A few plans for the weekend: There’s this thing called a Bridal Shower for Laurel, Church, and I’m not sure much else.

And a photo for the thoughts I am sharing...


I looked back at my 365 blog and saw what I posted on July 28th 2009… A year ago today…. I got this bridesmaid dress in the mail… which is now hanging in my closet stinky from it’s last venture in the world. Weird to think Heidi’s been married almost an entire year (In September)!

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.

Merry Craftmas!!

When I was little Mom had one of these to put out every Christmas. I remember her tossing it out having fixed its hot glue after every warm summer in the shed, she wasn't particularly attached to it but I was. Having collected enough baby food jars (finally) I put it together this weekend! Looks just like I remember it and now it is sitting in my closet awaiting its debut next weekend!
