Mass Effect 2 = Mass Fail By Wife

I was so excited when I decided on Eric's birthday gift. He likes video games, and I decided that I was going to sneak over to Burien with Mariya on Saturday and pick up his birthday gift so I could have it all nice and wrapped for Tuesday.

I succeed and made my way home with the game and wrapped it up all nice and pretty ... er... handsomely.

When I got home today I asked Eric how his day went and he said he got a chance to play a little Mass Effect 2. My heart sank to the floor. I was hearing him out, thinking maybe he had only tried a demo. Nope, I totally lost track and had bought it for him for Christmas.

Who does that?

So, I broke the news to him that I bought him Mass Effect 2 for his birthday also. I'm so glad I kept the receipt.

When did I become so air-headed!???

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!

R is for Ronnebeck!
