Ten on Tuesday

Greetings everyone! We have returned from our camping trip, and reality is hitting hard! I have been working on my Capstone paper since 6:00 am -- and am realllly wishing I was miles up in the mountains, secluded in the forest, away from nursing school again! ;)

But, I'm home. *sigh*.

I will be doing a vacation recap....soon. But in the meantime.....here my ten! :)

1. What was/is your favorite live action (meaning not animated) kids movie?
Hm...I don't know how "action-y" this is...but I loved the Parent Trap. The new one. I don't think I ever saw the original? But, oh, how I wanted to be a twin, and go to a cool summer camp, and be Lindsay Lohan.

Wow, I'm really glad that dream never came true. You know, "being Lindsay Lohan" and all. I would be a crack-head. In rehab. So sad! What ever happened to our innocent little red-headed Lindsay?!


2. What is a bad habit you have? Are you working on breaking it?
Fidgeting. Good Lord, I feel sorry for anyone who has to talk to me face-to-face - espcially if I'm feeling nervous or stressed out. If there is something in my range that I can pick up and fidget with - I am sure to do so. Sometimes, I think I shall resort to sitting on my hands to stop this dreadful habit!

3. Describe your father in 3 words.
Hardworking
Modest
Funny

4. Which character in the Breakfast Club were you most like in the ’80s?
None of them, really. I had nerdy tendencies like the blonde guy- but I was more of a "band nerd" or "speech geek" than "academic nerd". I definitely was no jock. I cared about how I looked, so I had a little "Molly Ringwald" in me - but,  what teenager isn't concerned about that.

Thank GOD I wasn't the weird nympho-girl who didn't talk - and used her dandruff to make art.....
5. Name 5 songs you know ALL the lyrics to.
Oh boy. This may be interesting
1. Music Box - Regina Spektor
2. Folsom Prison Blues - Johnny Cash (Thanks to my brother Kevin)
3. Ironic - Alanis Morissette
4. Everything - Michael Buble
5. Shelter from the Storm - Bob Dylan

6. Do you make pancakes from scratch or a box mix?
I don't make pancakes. I'm not a fan, and Ryan isn't crazy about them either.

However, I once tried making Buckwheat pancakes in my early days of cooking? They were frightening. I bet they were 1/2 thick, and the middle was gooey, and the outside was charred black. After that, we just quit having pancakes.

7. What was your worst job ever? Why?
Without a doubt, "Cleaning Lady Extraordinaire" of the AmericInn Suites of Grand Forks, ND.

My shift was Saturday and Sunday 8-2. However, it was really 8-6. And my boss? I'm pretty sure she's in a psych ward now. I would be on my hands and knees scrubbing floors, and she would come come check on me with her annoying Alabama accent and accuse me of missing pieces of hair - when CLEARLY there was no hair. She was actually crazy.

I have so many stories I could tell just from the 4 shifts I worked at that job. Wow.
8. What was your favorite class in high school?
I loved Chemistry. I had an incredible science teacher, Mrs. Larson - who put her heart and soul into education. And on top of that, I just love chemistry in general.
9. Favorite summer guilty pleasure?
I'm going to have to say Margaritas. Or popsicles - banana popsicles. Or roasted marshmallows. However, it's too hot in AZ to roast marshmallows in the summer. But I did get my share on the camping trip this weekend. Yum! No guilt there!

10. Please share your best money saving tip!
Money saving? What's that? :P
 
-Don't work! Then you have no money to spend!
.....Oh, how I can't wait to graduate, get a job, and get this odd thing called a "pay check"....

I totally forgot about Parent Trap. I also loved that movie. And yes, what happened to the sweet, innocent LiLo?

I love all of your guilty pleasures as well! ;)

One Confused Lady

Yesterday morning was packed with a session of cross training.....rushed home to shower and get professional-looking....headed across town for an interview.....kicked butt at my interview...."bopped" over to our house to see the progress of the build......headed to the "design center" to sign more paperwork.... (Side note: I cannot get over just how much paperwork is involved in building a house. Holy Hannah. And we haven't even closed !!! Iy-yi-yi....Those lovely people in history who got law-suit-happy.....God bless 'em.) Yesterday was a good day! So here's a little humor for your Thursday. A little thought. A little depth.....( A little cynical rant ) Afterwards, I decided to head to one of my favorite places to peruse.... Target. But my experience at Target was far from fun, relaxing, or pleasant. Just confusing. Loud. Crazy. Despite many screaming children-temper tantrums.... Which is common and un-escapable. Although screaming chi...

A weekend of the great outdoors

As I am preparing for my return to the real world tomorrow, I feel a strong sense of dread. As I won't have a weekend or free week for a long while! Instead of focusing on that.......I'm sharing a few snapshots from our awesome weekend! This weekend we were in Big Lake, AZ -- which is about 20 miles from the New Mexico border (just 5 1/2 hours from our house). (last weekend we were in Parker Canyon...which I will blog about another day) We camped from Friday-Monday, which was the perfect length of time. The temperatures were a great escape from hot Tucson. In fact...it was VERY cold at night. It was in the low 30's at night, 60's during the day. The trout fishing was incredible. Here's a few snapshots: Home Sweet Home for the weekend! Look at the giant tree I cut down!!! Wow!! (Okay, this was posed...) But...Ryan did teach me how to use a wood-saw! There were tons of dead/fallen trees lying around. So we cut all our firewood for the weekend! I felt very ...

St. Anthony, Where are you??!!??

So. Let's talk about my day so far. And why I suck at being organized. Do any of you know these people who always have it together? They never lose ANYTHING. They have a spare set of every important document, item possible. Every document has a file, every item has a place, every place has a label. They are always collected, have every duck is in the row. They live in perfection. This description is my husband: Ryan. My second question: Do you know anyone who's life is an absolute train wreck? They are always running in circles. They cannot be responsible for an important item if their life depended on it, because the strangest things happen to them. They never seem to be at the right place, or never seem to be on time. They cell phone often ends up in the refrigerator. There is always a giant debacle occurring. This description is me: Abby. Well this morning two people of this nature got to mingle a little. Well, they happen to be husband and wife--so they have to mingle withi...
