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'm weird.

I. Instruments you play(ed): Trombone, piano, xylophone, harmonica, guitar, recorder

J. Job title: Registered Nurse

K. Kids: None

L. Live: Oro Valley, AZ

M. Mom’s name:Marlys
 
N. Nicknames: Abs, Abber, Abster, Rufus (my sister called me that when I was little), Auntie Sparkles

O. Overnight hospital stays: I'm "overnight" at the hospital 3-4 times/week. However, I have never been to an Emergency Room or Hospital for my own health reasons. I hope I can keep this as long as possible. Hospitals = no fun

P. Pet peeve: People just leaving their carts in the parking lots, laziness, overly talkative people in lines @ grocery stores/airports/etc, excessive cussing - Do you really need to use the f-word in every sentence to get your emphasis out?

Q. Quote from a movie: "I'm not going to do....what everyone thinks I'm going to do -- which is FLIP OUT. but there's a thing in this world called Manners. These fish have manners. The fish are coming with me"

That is my favorite part of the movie Jerry Mcguire -- which is one of my favorite movies. I know, I know -- everyone hates this movie. I love it for some reason.

R. Righty or Lefty: Righty

S. Siblings: Chad, Kevin, Emily, Lisa (immediate siblings) - Emily, Julie, Jason, Erin, Nick, Sophia, Jack, Michael, Alexa (siblings-in-laws)


T. Time you wake up: Depends on the day. If I had it MY WAY it'd be 5:30 am. But being I work nights....on days after I work it's 2:30-3:00 pm (since I go to bed at 8:30 am). And when I don't work I'm up at 7:00 am.

U. Underwear: Yes. And they need to be tasteful. I don't like skanky underwear.

V. Vegetables you don’t like: I like all vegetables, actually! The only ones I can think of are cooked carrots. I'll still eat them, but I prefer raw.

W. What makes you run late: Clothes -- and not being about to find anything that looks good. It's probably a good thing I wear scrubs to work -- then I don't have to worry about outfit..

X. X-Rays you’ve had: Chest xray, collarbone @ birth, foot when I was in college & got several stress fractures in my feet

Y. Yummy food you make: My crock-pot creations are quite yummy. In fact, I have a zesty lemon chicken slow cooking in the crockpot right now...and plan on serving it with some squash & salad!

Z. Zoo animal favorite: Monkees/chimpanzees/gorillas. They're amazing how similar to humans they are! Just went to the zoo this weekend with my niece & nephew -- so this is fresh in my mind!

Happy early birthday and I'm SO JEALOUS of your king-sized bed!!!
Happy Almost Birthday- I thought you were older than almost 23 :)

You are still at an age where that is considered a compliment, right? haha
I still call you Rufus occasionally. No idea where that nickname came from, though!

This was fun to read. :) I wouild love to eat one of your crockpot concoctions!!

Carts!!!! I can't stand when people do that. The chicken sounds fantastic! Maybe a recipe post is coming ?? :)

Fun blog! Remember that one nickname you hated, and so did I - "Crabby Abby"! You were not a crabby Abby!

Rufus? Huh, never heard that one.

I do wish people would put their carts away properly. One slid into my car once and broke the tail light.

Do share the lemony chicken...

These are always fun!! Though, I am sorry to hear you didn't get switched to days!! One day, hopefully...

I'm actually curious to hear about why you don't like dogs??

Happy early birthday. Hopefully you get to celebrate!

What is your color?

Green My favorite color ever! I have to control myself to not purchase too many green things. If I had no control, my house would be green. My kitchen would be lime-themed. With greenery everywhere. My bathrooms would be green. My bedroom would be green. You would all feel nauseated-green after entering my home. (So I don't have a green-themed home) Many things I love are green, such as: Spinach (I eat it a minimum twice a day usually) My weding color was green. (clover green) Limes (I have at least one time a day) Grass. I love the feel of grass, especially since I see it so rarely in AZ (except in my neighborhood that has amazing landscapers with grass-galore) Palm trees. Any tree. Christmas trees. I love Christmas Green Beer. I think the green beer on St. Patty's Day tastes better. My favorite color of eyes. When I was in 9th grade, I so badly wanted to get green contacts. But they made me keep my brown eyes. Diet Mountain Dew (my guilty pleasure) Granny Smith

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

8 Months

 Well, I missed month 1-8. But it is never too late to begin, right? Here is a recap of Maddy at 8 months. (I'm totally stealing this idea from my sister, Lisa. I thought it was so neat that she recaps her son's favorites and happenings every month)   How am I sleeping? Better than I was - but not as good as my peers. It also depends on if I'm teething. Last week, her 2nd tooth was poking through - so she was awake 3 times.  No matter how much I let her cry it out, I cannot seem to cut down her feedings. When I go in there - she is literally pulling at my shirt with her mouth wide open. So clearly she's hungry.  She eats 2 times/night and luckily goes right back to sleep. It is what it is. What am I eating? While we have had breastfeeding and bottle refusal struggles - I am so glad that taking to food as been relatively smooth. We are doing baby led weaning, and Maddy really enjoys most every food I've given her.  Her favorite foods are scrambled eggs, apples, and c
