Ten On Tuesday

This weeks 10 on Tuesday is explaining what product you guys for the following categories, and why. Kind of fun and fresh!

Happy Tuesday!

1. Cell Phone

-Blackberry Tour. It's alright, kind of slow. I was going to go with the Droid, per my husbands recommendation. But, I was way too indimidated by the technical-ness of the Droid.
-And, I will always be a Verizon girl.

2. Email
-I like Gmail. Love how it groups reply-emails together. Also - there are a lot of extra neat features with it (if you play around with it)

3. Toothpaste
Crest Pro-Health Daytime. It. Is. Amazing.
Why do I like it? Is it because of it's acclaimed "health benefits"?
Oh no. It's because it almost tastes like "Sparkle Toothpaste" for adults.
You remember kid's sparkle tooth paste? Yeah, Heavenly.

4. Car
-I drive a Pontiac Grand Prix. I remember when I got it - I chose it because it looked more "snappy" than my other choices. Yes, I am one of "those people" that judge "books by their cover". When looking at the features of a vehicle, the color is a major priority.
-But, in a few years I will be driving a Honda Civic Hybrid (Ryan's current car)

5. Writing Utensil
The most basic BLACK Bic pen, because it's consistent.
In fact, I've gone through our "pen-drawer" and removed all the blue and red pens. It irritates me when I grab a pen, start writing, and it's blue. Ugh.

6. Lotion
I have no consistent lotion I use. Right now, I'm using Dove. Whatever it is - it must have Oatmeal in it (during the summer especially). I get heat rash weekly here - and oatmeal-lotions are supposed to soothe it!
7. Interior Paint
-I am still confused about paint. Eggshells, satin, glossy, semi-glossy. Green, Spinach. Magenta, blue, aqua, periwinkle. So intimidating....
8. Soda/Drink
-I don't really drink soda anymore. Which is crazy for me to say - b/c I usedto be Mrs. Diet Soda.
-I prefer lemonade crystal light. Mmm. And fresh squeezed lemons & limes added to make it even more sour.

-(and now my 2 cents on excessive diet soda-drinking: I had a patient last week that was 36 years old, and she had a Total Hip Replacement. She also went through a 12-pack of Diet Coke every day. Diet soda has phosphorus which basically cancels out calcium. Scary!!!)

9. Laundry Detergent
Tide, and the powder. According to a little research I did a year back...... liquid detergent can increase mildew in your washer, because it gets stuck in the little cracks and holes of your machine! (ew!!)

10. Medicine
No medicine is good medicine...but....

If I'm going to be sick .....

I love Vick's Vapor Rub. Good stuff. And Robotussin. It cannot be the generic brand. It cannot be "Cough/cold" version. It must be the original Robotussin-DM. Yumm-o.

Also, Bengay is amazing. Especially on my neck after a long day.

Haha, I debated between the Blackberry and Droid too and I went with Blackberry- it's only slow with the internet and it seems to be only in some spots. Since before that I had no internet at all, it doesn't really bother me :)

My toothpaste is Sensodyne as my teeth are so sensitive and it is the only brand that works! I prefer black pens to blue, but once in awhile I like to shake it up and use a blue one! My favorite drink besides coffee is water & milk! I have had about one soda in the last year, and don't miss it!

So funny that you hate blue pens - I don't care for black ones, but it's all we have at work, so I just have to put up with it!! Too funny.

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 ...
