Growing UP.



When did I become that girl who wakes early on a Saturday morning to make sure she's at the Library when it opens?

When did municipal bonds, flow of funds, and options trading become something I am slightly interested in?

When did my job that I started in Seattle 6 years ago become a "Career".

If I would have told 20 year old Abby - "In 5-7 years, you won't need to know all this history about Martin Luther to do your job" She would have told me I was insane.

It's funny how life takes different turns. How your "Career Goals" when you start college turn out being a hobby, and not a career. It's funny how when I applied to be a receptionist at this firm I was really excited to answer phones and have a real "Desk". Funny how studying once meant hanging out in the Library with Heidi and Liz, not getting anything done, and today I'm committing nearly 7 hours to my task. Series 7 - how you make me grow up. Damn you.
My Husband woke this morning, took the dog for a walk, and then came down to the library to deliver a Soy Latte and a yummy chocolate white chocolate chunk cookie. I love him.

I just need to find the wisdom within to get through this test. I find myself pumped up and ready to go - and 20 questions later discouraged that I got half of them wrong.

It will come together... eventually.

Since I have a hot date to take my Boss and her partner to the airport tomorrow morning at 6am - It also means I have a hot date with my study materials at a local Starbucks till the rest of the world wakes up!

Okay, back to the books. Just had to get this out of my mind before I can absorb everything I need to know about Margin and options accounts. Gross.

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!
