Ten On Tuesday

Ryan & I had a fantastic weekend. Recap-Post to comeWhich was essential! Especailly since this week we are currently experiencing is a rough one! I am taking a quick break for studying for some sanity, however - so here's my 10!

1. What would the title of your autobiography be?
Diaries of Dear Abby


2. What’s the funniest thing you’ve ever heard a child say or seen him/her do?
Oh jeez, there are so many comments my nephews have said that make me laugh. I don't even know where to start. All of them have their one liners that will never be forgotten!

*Tear*. I miss them sooo much!

3. What is your favorite kids game to play?
Hmm....I think I'm going to have to say Candyland. I just get excited about the different characters.
4. If you got invited to a potluck BBQ tomorrow, what would you bring?
I would whip up some home-made salsa or guacamole. And I would make some type of salad (either an interesting quinoa or taboulleh salad). If they wanted deserts, I would whip up either a key lime or Lemonade pie! (Which I will be attempting to do this weekend.)

5. If your ears are pierced, how old were you when you got your ears pierced?
I think I was in 3rd or 4th grade. Not positive, though.

6. If you were celebrating your 30th anniversary, where would you want to go?
Back to the resort where we had our Honeymoon - Cancun. Or Italy. Or a Hawiian Cruise.

7. What one blogger would you love to meet and why? And what would you want to plan to do with them?
I would love to meet up with Lisa Yarns. I'd plan a run around the Chain of Lakes in Minnesota, then we would get coffee, and maybe cook a fun dinner in and meet up with family OR go to Nami in Minneapolis for some sushi!

8. On a scale from 1-10, how good at you at home decor? (Pictures welcome.)
Probably like a 3-4. Let's not talk about home decor. My house is very bland. My kitchen is alright, it's cute. But the rest - very very bland. This house is being rented - so I have no ambition to spend money on decorating if we are only going to be here until like January! But when we have a home, then things will change and that number may increase.

9. Do you have good fingernails?
Now that I live in AZ, and not in the cold climates of ND - yes! My nails are strong and healthy. I can't have them too long because that just screams germs! (especially being in the hospital)

10. Pickles: Dill or sweet? Baby, spears, or chips? Plain or on a burger?
Sweet pickles are just wrong. Pickles, in my opinion, need to be strong and vinegary! I personally like not the baby/spears/chips - but the BIG dills. Mmm. I also like Jalepeno Baby Dills. I like them plain, on burger, on sandwich, on salad, on anything. I love pickles!

Your meet up sounds fabulous! Someday! :)

I think your guys' house looks really cute, actually. Esp your kitchen. My place is also very bland, but I think that is just our taste, maybe? you know, the who simple elegance look? Decorating is def not my forte, but I do make more of an effort as a homeowner than I did when I rented...

You both got your home decorating talents from you Mom - sorry! I would love to be better at it but just never had the knack! But, Abby and Lisa, both of your places look very nice and I think you've done a great job of decorating. Of course having lots of money would help, right? And, you are invited to a BBQ at the cabin this weekend - so bring on the qaucamole!

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.

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...
