Ten on Tuesday!

I have been studying for the past 6 hours?? - And am losing my sanity. What better way to relieve myself than fill one of these out? It definitely is a fun way to distract myself from reading any more about Pediatric physical/psychosocial development!!


1. What animal should cease to exist? (Not including bugs. That’s too obvious.)
-Pitbulls! Some people may hate me for this. But I have a thing against Pitbulls. As we all know--I don't really like dogs. Last week, I was on a nice run in my gorgeous, family-friendly neighborhood. I was approached by TWO, unleashed, angry, dogs (1 a pitbull, 1 a pincher ....i think that's the breed...).

I was absolutely furious. People shouldn't own dogs like this. And if they do: lock them up, tie them up, keep them where they are safe!!!

2. What was your favorite thing about the beach?
-The smells, the freshness of the air, the fun of the sun, and the sound of seagulls. Everything. I love the beach.

3. If scientists found a way to allow dogs to talk, do you think we should implement it? Or should we just keep them quiet?
-I don't want to hear what they have to say.

4. How do you order your Starbucks?
-Venti. Iced. Splenda. Skim milk.

5. What’s worse? People who don’t know the difference between your and you’re OR people who don’t use smack their food?
Ahhh! I hate all of this. The whole Your/You're thing drives me up the wall. As does its/it's.

6. What CD can you listen to over and over?
The Brandi Carlile cds my sister, Lisa, burned for me! :)

7. What was the most surprising thing about college?
Hm....I was really surprised how much of a joke my 1st year of college was,academically. Maybe it was the classes I took?--but it was so easy. Kind of a joke!

I was also really surprised by how wonderful it is to be able to freely chose your friends! From Preschool-Senior year I was with the same 24 people day in and day out. I basically couldn't stand the existence of about 70% of the those people by the time I graduated. So I loved when I got to college--I could freely choose my friends. And there was such less drama.

8. What’s the best deal you ever got? (Biggest sale item.)
-I don't do well with sale items. But I just have to boast all my clearance Target items. I live for Target. I love the end of summer when swimming suits are like $4. (I have a love for swimming suits and winter coats)

9. Who is your role model? Why?
I have multiple! But I will have to say My Mom. She is a woman I really try to strive to be like --and make our home like she did ours. She is such a hard worker, loving mother, amazing cook/house-keeper, VERY smart woman, and one healthy lady!!! I'm proud to have her genes. I also look to my father in many ways as a role model. His hard work amazes me. I'm pretty lucky to have the parents I have!

10. What movie would you like to see that is in theaters right now? Why?
I have no idea what is even in theaters! But, as childish as this may sound--I really want to see the Scrooge movie coming out. "A Christmas Carol" is my favorite Christmas movie....so kind of want to see that!

However, going to the movies disappoints me these days. It's like $20/ticket. So not worth it. If I'm going to pay that much for a movie...I better get a reclining chair, personal waiter, and a glass of fine wine to go with that movie! ;)

Your (not "you're" ;) ) number 3 made me laugh out loud!

You are fortunate to have such wonderful parents...as am I. We're lucky, as there are lots of lousy parents out there. ♥

I am going to get a swollen head if I read anymore comments like you and Lisa wrote about me! Thank you! It's fun reading your blogs and getting to know you both better! Most of your answers don't surprise me, though! In retrospect, I think we should have had more dogs when you kids were growing up, but the ones we did have drove me crazy! I'm not a dog lover either!

Okay so I just stumbled upon your blog from Lisa's. You need to go add your links to the Ten on Tuesday post on my blog!! I didn't know you were doing them!

I agree - Target is wonderful. WONFERFUL! And pit bulls are not.

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
