Catch Up

I try, albeit not very hard to keep up here - and I think I blog more about blogging than I actually blog about real stuff. I plan on taking another month long blog challenge soon, but I can't do that until my series 7 is done with, otherwise you'll get entire posts about derivatives and bonds, and as much as that may help me, it's going to bore you to tears. Hell, I know what I'm talking about (most of the time) and it bores me to tears.

So for now, I ask for your patience with me, and to not quit reading in my slow times. I love that this is a place to connect with friends and family near and far.

This weekend...er... Saturday has been exactly what I needed. We woke up early (around 7) and headed to Uncle Gene's house in Auburn. There was a HUGE community garage sale going on in the Lakeland Hills development and we drove around and walked through nearly 45 different households having sales in their garages and lawn. We spent $15 and bought a few fun things - I got a new bag and a new wallet Eric bought a fun baseball game!

Then we came home (beat) and though we had tickets to the Rat City Championship, we totally skipped it and went to the Avengers instead. My idea (not his). I just needed a break from the norm, and though I love Derby, this weekend would have been my draft weekend, so the wound was a little fresh, and I just didn't have the energy to face that AND head into the city after a long day of garage sales. My only regret is that we didn't hang out with Uncle Gene longer.

Now I'm on the couch... tired, and happy and actually, truthfully - ready to study tomorrow!

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!
