Good things

I must say there are many good things I have to be happy about right now!

  1. I am in my psychiatric-mental health nursing rotation right now. I originally chose nursing as my major beause from the time I was like 12 I wanted to be a psych nurse. I love it so far. The clinicals are incredible. I am finding I am more organized and ahead of things in this class than I ever have been! Now, if I could be this motived with Critical Care and my Capstone this summer......:)
  2. Ryan and I got an entire day together yesterday!!!! This is rare. My spring break kind of sucked. He would leave at about 6 a.m., and not return until 8 p.m. The poor guy is spread too thin! So I cherish a day like yesterday! Which consisted of.............
  3. Spring Training baseball!!!!!! Diamondbacks vs. Oakland Atheletics. It was nearly a close-out. 10-1. We met his bosses wife at the game and she insisted we ditch our seats & sit in the seats in front of them that they had purchased . So we were FRONT ROW BEHIND HOME PLATE! Incedible!!! I could hear the players talking to each other! I'm used to nose-bleeder-seats.
  4. It was in the upper 70's and sunny at the game yesterday. I got a great deal of sun. And we enjoyed the game with an fresh-grilled brat, sauerkrat, and an ice-cold beer. (I know....we had a mind-slip about he whole "No-meat-Friday rule")
  5. Last night I officially registered myself for the Arizona Distance Classic Half-Marathon. It's in............................2 WEEKS! Some of you may think "Wow, what are you thinking?" But I've been doing this "base-training" thing lately, where I basically have my body trained for a long race if one comes up. So, I talked myself into it! I miss races :(, so I'm looking forward to this!
  6. I am coking Ryan a hearty Irish Beef Stew today while he's at guard. I have to buy Guiness for it. (Ewwwwww!! Chewy. Smells like sesame oil! Ryan likes it though, so he'll be happy) (possible recipe post to come soon)
  7. On THURSDAY, we leave for Puerto Penasco, Mexico for 4 days!!!!!! It's the destination where we got engaged. I cannot explain how excited I am for 4 days of beaches, seafood, lounging in the sun, and just the funness of Mexico!!!
I am wishing everyone a great weekend! If we could, we'd send some of the warmth and sunshine of AZ to our family up north! I hear it's cold, wet, and cold. The hellish month of March is half-way through!

The weather has actually been decent here. Very rainy & overcast but I will take that over sub-freezing temps and snow! Almost all of our snow is gone and while that means things look pretty mucky, I am ok with it since it means summer is on its way. :)

You have lots of fun things to be excited for. I'm curious about that stew you are making for Ryan. I bet you will like it. The guiness should cook down enough to the extent that you probably won't even taste it. That is usually how it works when recipes call for beer!

Have a fabulous weekend!!!

And since you wrote this, your weekend get-a-way has been changed to San Deigo, but I know you will have just as much fun - just being together is what is important and you'll get sun & surf to boot! Great weekend so far, right?

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...

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...

30 Blogs: Something I'm Afraid of

This isn't a very difficult post for me to write about. I am such a "scaredy cat" about so many things. I could quite possibly turn this into a book. I was also the kid that wouldn't go on the monkey bars at school, out of fear that my arms may be ripped out of their sockets. I was the kid who got to the end of the diving board, and then shriveled into a ball at the end shaking in tears. I got to the top-climax spot on a roller coaster, and start saying "Oh my God, get me off this thing. I don't want to do it anymore! Get me off this thing!!" Then I went college, and majored in nursing. I leanred all the horrible ways one can reach multi-system organ failure. If I have too much coffee, and feel maybe the slightest heart palpitation - I am listening to my heart sounds with my stethoscope......... So here's my list of irrational some fears. ;) (some of these may be comical & pathetic to you):\ Heights Vomit (I've gotten better about th...
