Ten On Tuesday!

You know the drill! It's Tuesday, and time for some question-answering!

The questions this week are extra great - since my sister Lisa wrote them!

1. What accomplishment are you most proud of?
-Getting married to the man who met all the qualifications on my very detailed Type-A personality list! :)

2. How much did you weigh when you were born?
-I am not positive...but I wanna say 9 lb 4 oz ish?! I was a giant baby. My poor Mom. The last 2/5 kids were well over 9 pounds!

3. What is your favorite perfume?
-Romance by Ralph Lauren. I am not a conisseure of perfumes, however.

4. How many brothers/sisters do you have?
-I have 4 - 2 brothers and 2 sisters.

5. How many children would you like to have? (or how many do you have)
-I would like to have 2 boys. But really, I'll take healthy children and really don't care about the sex.

6. What's the best class you took in college?
-I will have to say I value Anatomy the most. It taught me the basics to my entire major, and it was super interesting. I loved the cadaver lab! It wwas so neat. I also loved Chemistry.

7. What was your favorite game to play as a child?
-I remember loving playing Trivial Pursuit Jr. Which is funny. Because as an adult....I HATE Trivial Pursuit! Passionately!!!

8. What character on Friends do you like the most?
-I have a special place in my heart for Monica. I see a lot of myself in her. She kind of OCD, high strung, a little bit of a nut case, and was a fat kid -- all me!

9. Are you a phone person?

-Oh, God no. I hate talking on the phone. It is nothing person, people. But I screen calls - a LOT. I think there's actually something wrong with me. I really need to take a class on "phone ettiquette". I always talk when others are talking, and hang up too soon.

It's painful.

10. What was the best vacation you ever took?
-I am going to have to say my honeymoon in Cancun. It was heavenly. The resort we stayed at was unbelievable!!! Very very fun trip! Can't wait to go back some day!

ABC

We are home from a wonderful, extended-weekend-getaway to Omaha. It was filled with family, relaxations, and greatness. I will do a more detailed recap on it soon! In the meantime, I'm doing this ABC bit that I stole from my cousin 's blog! Also, no -- I did not get switched to days. Trust me, I would've told the entire world and screamed it from roof-tops if I did. A. Age: 22, but that will change on Sunday. B. Bed size: King C. Chore you dislike: Cleaning the shower - especially dealing with hard-water stains. Lime away=ouch D. Dogs: Really really really really really dislike. Really dislike. Sorry. I could do a post in itself about my dislike for canines. E. Essential start to your day: Bowl of oatmeal/or cereal with bananas. Or fruit F. Favorite color: Greeen G. Gold or silver: Definitely silver. H. Height: 5'4'' - Sometimes I lie & say 5'5''. Some people lie about their weight, age, haircolor...I lie about my height. I...

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...

Let's try this again...

Last year we purchased soil, mulch, and all these plants that grow great in well-watered, rich-soiled areas. Then we went away for a weekend, and everything dried up like a prune. I was a bit disappointmented, as gardening is a hobby & passion of mine. In fact, I became quite frustrated with our hot climate. But we did some research on desert plants, and I found a new love! Desert plants are quite fascinating, actually. Their tough outer skin & small leaves result in maximum absorbtion of our spare water -- allowing them to thrive on little. They are also extremely regenerative. You can cut a branch or an arm off a cactus, and plant it in the ground somewhere else to create a new plant. So we found a very local cactus nursery last weekend, and got to work! Here are a few of the gems we planted. (These are pictures I've found offline, as I haven't taken proper pictures of our front yard yet due to the immaturity of our plants at this point) The Desert Barrel ...
