Ten on Tuesday

1| For those of you who care, I have been fairing 29 just fine. I swear a few more grey hairs have popped in, but I have a good outlook - My Grandma Myla happens to be one fine looking silver haired lady... Bring it on! Plus, Eric already promised me he'd love me with grey hair, so now I REALLY don't have much to fear.

2| Headed BACK to the eye doctor on Thursday. I didn't really blog about it, but I went two weeks ago, and didn't love what the Doc had to say. She gave me a few trial pairs of contacts, but basically boiled it down to "Quit wearing those things so darn much". So, here I am all clad in my glasses, trying to be an obedient eye patient. I will let you know more about the appointment after Thursday.

3| My puppy isn't so much a puppy anymore. I see all my friends talk about their kids "Growing up" but I can start to see some old man traits in my Aquaman and it makes me sad. He's still a ball of energy though, no worries about that.

4| Gracie has decided she likes us. Don't stop the presses, but I'd be lying if I said I thought that this would ever happen. This morning I came back in the room from my shower to find her snuggled right up to Eric, IN BED. Did you just read that?! I can't believe I typed it!

5| My I Phone is the best thing that's ever happened to my crazy flow of a life. I think I spend more time on my cell phone while I'm in transit on the bus, and during my lunch hour, but I spend less time on the computer when I get home, so I'm going to call that a win.

6| My Relay for Life Teams and committee are rocking the HOUSE!!!!!!!!!! We've really been excelling this year - I love my dedicated committee - you should go LIKE us on FACEBOOK! Spread the cancer killing word people!

7| I've been asked to "Share my story" at a Team Captain Experience that the American Cancer Society is hosting in Burien next month. Last time I attempted to talk about Mom in public I ended up sobbing in front of some 150 people. That was not even a year after she passed, I think I can do this now. Plus, what a group of diligent listeners.

8| For the first time in the last 3 years I haven't been aching to go to a Derby Bout. I don't know if I've re prioritized or if I've seen too much "Inside track" on Roller Derby... either way I don't like it.

9| That being said, there's rumors about the Supersonics returning to Seattle and I couldn't be more excited for basketball - it's always been my first sport love.

10| I'm married to the man of my dreams - I know it's corny and you've heard it... but he makes my world so much happier. I came home tonight to a home cooked meal and a smile on his face. Hallelujah!

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!
