The Before Picture

Wanted to grab a shot of the living room before the craziness begins.  Santa was good to us this year.  Merry Christmas!  

Happy Birthday Don!

It has been another amazing year filled with lots of laughter and fun and you still remind me to act like a child and be silly from time to time.

Thank you for all you bring into my life. On your birthday I wish you love, laughter, happiness and cheer not only for today but throughout the coming year.

Happy Birthday Katharine!

I’m wishing you another year

Of laughter, joy and fun,

Surprises, love and happiness,

And when your birthday’s done,

I hope you feel deep in your heart,

As your birthdays come and go,

How very much you mean to me,

More than you can know.

Quizzical Wednesday: What part of Christmas?

You Are Hanging Christmas Lights

You are a hardworking and happy person during the holidays. It's important to you to make Christmas as big and bold as possible for your family. The holidays may not seem like much of a vacation for you, but that's totally fine. As long as you can bring some cheer to those around you, all the work is worth it.

What Part of Christmas Are You?

SNOW!

It shows no sign of stopping soon!  And the best part is that my office has already declared tomorrow a snow day!  Yay!

The view from my office

SNOW!  I'm giddy with excitement, I love the snow!

Quizzical Wednesday: Cake or Pie?

You Are Pie

You are sweet, but there's more to the story than that. You're quite complicated.
Sometimes people don't appreciate you as much as they should. You are really quite special.

You are deep, thoughtful, and get better with time. You are subtle but powerful.
You are very traditional, and that's a good thing. You remind people of simpler and happier times.

Take the quiz: Are you Cake or Pie?

Nothing says vacation....

Like eating 6th food group cheese.  Aloha!

Quizzical Wednesday: What Office Should You Be Elected To?

You Should Be Elected Mayor

You're the type of person who will never forget where you came from. Roots are important to you. When it comes to what's important, friends and family always come first. You believe charity starts at home. You tend to know what's going on with everyone in your neighborhood. You aren't a gossip, but you are involved. You are proud of where you come from, and you're dedicated to making your hometown a better place.

I Voted!

My favorite thing about voting at the polls was proudly wearing my "I Voted" sticker for the remainder of election day. Since King County votes entirely by mail now, there are no more visits to the polls and no more stickers. :-(

Imagine my delight when I discovered that the fun folks down at King County elections created a virtual sticker so I can still declare that I've voted! :-)  Yay!
