Ten on Tuesday

1. Do you decorate for Valentine’s day?

No, I don't. However, I do kind of miss making the themed valentine's day boxes from elementary school...And the sweethearts that having the little messages on them!

2. Does your desktop have a picture or computer graphic? Is it organized?
My desktop is blue. It has a picture of the "windows" symbol. I like to live on the wild side.
Yes, it's organized. I get so irritated when people will take an icon they use frequently and move it out on the side so they can see it early. Keep your shit in order, and you won't have to do that my friend!!!!!

3. Do you use a paper planner, electric planner or no planner at all?

I have 2 calendars on my fridge. One is a whiteboard, one is a calendar my sister-in-law makes with pictures of all my nephews. Those are where I write most events/scheduling down. My black-berry is my main planner. I would be lost without it.

4. Do you change purses or bags often or stick with a good thing?
I change purses once/year pretty much. Once again...living on the wild side.
5. What’s your favorite YouTube Video?
Probably just a comedy excerpt of Tosh.O. I'm not a big you-tuber.
6. Do you use Turbo Tax or a real person to pay your taxes?
I use my husband.

I think he uses Turbo Tax?

7. How many states have you set foot (or tire) in? Which ones?
Many. North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Minnesota, Colorado, Wyoming, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Washington DC, Virginia, Florida, Georgia, Alabama.

I think I got them all? :)

8. How many countries have you been in? Which ones?
America, Canada, Mexico.
9. How many pillows are in your house? (Sleeping or decorative)
4 sleeping pillows on our bed, 6 decorative on the bed as well. Yes, I'm excessive lol. 4 on the guest bed,

Our couches "backs" are microfiber pillows too, if you want to count those. So that would add 11!

10. How cold is too cold for flip flops?
I don't wear flip flops unless it's like....76 degrees.

I have the circulatory system of a 90 year old. So my toes get very numb-- so  I require socks and toe-covering shoes frequently.

You have been to a lot of states! I was way too lazy to count when I did this!

I miss getting to pick out Valentines, but I did not enjoy decorating the actual boxes... But it was fun seeing what the creative kids came up with! :)

I love "Ten on Tuesday" day. Yours is the third one I've read now and I love learning interesting little tidbits about your life.

Now, I want to figure out how many states and countries I've visited, but I need to look at an Atlas!!

I also love "Ten on Tuesday"! I even learn something about my daughters I didn't know! I am amazed at all the states you've been in! I'm way behind my daughters on traveling, it seems!

These are always fun!! I especially enjoyed the cold feet answer, because I totally the same way. The annoying thing is - I actually hate wearing socks. So, my feet are cold AND uncomfortable. It's a problem!!

Btw, thank you so much for the comment on my post today!! You have no idea how much I appreciated that. I'm completely the same...and have had many conversations with my co-worker about how ridiculous and TMI people can be.

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...

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 ...

Good things

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