13 Random Facts

My sister Lisa posted this on her blog, and I love doing these things. Especially when I am extradinary distracted from studying! :)

1. ONE OF YOUR SCARS, HOW DID YOU GET IT? Giant lacerated scars on both knees. A few summers ago, I was staying with my sister Lisa and decided to go for a job around Bloomington, MN. Coming downhill (quite fast), I completely tripped foot-over-foot and went straight into the ground face first. I still have a slight scar on the side of my eye (when I get really tan), and giant keloid scars on my knees. So lovely...

2. WHAT IS ON THE WALLS IN YOUR ROOM? Nothing as of it, and it was very sad and echoy! However, we have some frames and shelves we would like to put up soon!

3. DO YOU SNORE, GRIND YOUR TEETH, OR TALK IN YOUR SLEEP? Do I ever talk in my sleep!Poor Ryan has a rough future of "pleasant sleeping" cut out for him. I talk, laugh hysterically, and laugh some more in my sleep. Realllly creepy.

4. WHAT TYPE OF MUSIC DO YOU LISTEN TO? I love very relaxing acoustic music and jazz. I also have a very special place in my heart for song writers such as Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Michael Buble, and Jamie Cullum.

5. DO YOU GET SCARED IN THE DARK? Nope. However, with Ryan being gone I am awfully jumpy at night!

6. COFFEE OR ENERGY DRINK? Coffee with skim milk and splenda. I loathe energy drinks. All they are is nasty tasting and loaded with calories.

7. FAVORITE QUOTE? God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference!!"


8. FAVORITE PLACE? My parent's lake cabin. OR.....On Top of Sabino Canyon after a 2 hour hike in the 100 degree Arizona temperatures and you are rewarded with amazing views and pools filled with cold natural spring water to swim in. Words can not describe such a reward!

9. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING? I hate it. Reminds me of a child's handwriting.

10. MASHED POTATOES OR MACARONI AND CHEESE? Mashed potatoes (with garlic :D)

11. REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT? Republican

12. KISSES OR HUGS? Both. But I will say that if I have had a really rough day/experience, nothing is better than a tight-squeezing long hug!!

13. WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING? Medical-Surgical Nursing by Lewis. Compelling.

OK - your turn to play along!!

Yes, poor Ryan is going to have to put up with one wild sleeper! Not only do you talk, you also throw elbows, hog the covers, and roll on top of the other person! ;)

Thanks for playing along! I am going to do the one on facebook, too. Or i Might just re-post and say - see Abby's answers. ;)

You two are so funny!

Abby, I think it will be good for Ryan that you keep him on his toes, even in bed. Ok, that didn't come out exactly as I had intended! ;)

I enjoy the "random facts", it's always nice to learn new things about people you know & love!

What is your color?

Green My favorite color ever! I have to control myself to not purchase too many green things. If I had no control, my house would be green. My kitchen would be lime-themed. With greenery everywhere. My bathrooms would be green. My bedroom would be green. You would all feel nauseated-green after entering my home. (So I don't have a green-themed home) Many things I love are green, such as: Spinach (I eat it a minimum twice a day usually) My weding color was green. (clover green) Limes (I have at least one time a day) Grass. I love the feel of grass, especially since I see it so rarely in AZ (except in my neighborhood that has amazing landscapers with grass-galore) Palm trees. Any tree. Christmas trees. I love Christmas Green Beer. I think the green beer on St. Patty's Day tastes better. My favorite color of eyes. When I was in 9th grade, I so badly wanted to get green contacts. But they made me keep my brown eyes. Diet Mountain Dew (my guilty pleasure) Granny Smith

Currently - May edition

   I haven't blogged much - but the last time I did one of these, Maddy was 9 months old. It's really fun looking back on the things that were "stressors" to me at that time. Prior to that - my currently post was a pregnancy edition.  So here goes May 2022. Maddy is almost a 15-month old and summer has set ablaze here in Tucson.   Reading :  I really wish I had a better answer for this one, but I have not been the best about reading lately. The only book I'm reading is "How to talk to your kids so they'll listen and listen so they'll talk". It is really good. Most of the book is geared more to school-aged kids, in my opinion. But it highlights some great communication skills with children to help them trust you as a parent to be open and honest. Eating: All the smoothies. It has been getting really hot here - and every day when we get home from our stroller run I make a smoothie for Maddy with whole milk, Fage, and fruit - and then a smoothie for

8 Months

 Well, I missed month 1-8. But it is never too late to begin, right? Here is a recap of Maddy at 8 months. (I'm totally stealing this idea from my sister, Lisa. I thought it was so neat that she recaps her son's favorites and happenings every month)   How am I sleeping? Better than I was - but not as good as my peers. It also depends on if I'm teething. Last week, her 2nd tooth was poking through - so she was awake 3 times.  No matter how much I let her cry it out, I cannot seem to cut down her feedings. When I go in there - she is literally pulling at my shirt with her mouth wide open. So clearly she's hungry.  She eats 2 times/night and luckily goes right back to sleep. It is what it is. What am I eating? While we have had breastfeeding and bottle refusal struggles - I am so glad that taking to food as been relatively smooth. We are doing baby led weaning, and Maddy really enjoys most every food I've given her.  Her favorite foods are scrambled eggs, apples, and c
