Ten on Tuesday!

1. Any vacations you are looking forward to this summer?

A trip to Minnesota sometime either June or July to my family's lake cabin to do some fishing, wakeboarding, and get some quality family time in!! Can't wait! :)
2. What is your favorite article of summer clothing (shoes are included)?
Swimming suit, flip flops to prevent the AZ concrete for giving you 3rd degree burns on the soles of your feet!

Or....sundresses with some cute flats I suppose. (right now I'm dreading summer clothing for some reason. I just want hide in sweaters & jeans)

3. What is your favorite summer drink (alcoholic or non)?
Fresh squeezed lemonade with a little sprite to make it bubble!

Or....a cold, frosty beer. Hefeweizen.
4. Do you tan or burn?
Tan. But my Native American blood makes my tan come out a little reddish.
5. Any goals you are working toward this summer?
To have a beautiful, ever-producing, succulent garden/backyard!

6. What is your favorite summertime food?
Strawberries and all that good fruit that's in season!
Rhubarb slush (haven't had that since I lived back in ND...ohhh I miss that stuff!!)
7. What song most says “summer” to you?
Any Neil Diamond. It reminds of me days out on the pontoon with my family :)
8. Any home improvement goals planned for this summer?
We don't own this home -- but the garden/backyard/grass is our project!
And Ryan might build us a tiki bar :)

9. What is one thing you hate to see at the beach?
Butts hanging out of a too-small bottom.
And when we were in Mexico -- people that tried going nude. I am just not okay with that -- and I never will be okay with nudity. It's just gross. I don't want to see ANYONES boobs sagging in the sand....
10. Did you ever go to a summer camp?
Indeed I did! Band camp almost every year from 6th grade until my sophomore or junior year! Loved it!
I also attended this Math, Science, & Technology Camp when I was in junior high....

Yup, you were a band camp geek! I remember driving you there or taking you to the train depot in the middle of the night to get there! We are so excited for a summer visit - it will be so great to have you here in the warmth of summer for a change! Fun post, Abby!

I can't wait for your trip home this summer! I hope you bring some nice, hot weather with you from AZ. :) Maybe I can take some time off that week, too!

Hey, fellow band camper! Did you know I spent seven weeks there one summer?

Also, I am amused by sights on the beach every time I am there!

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...

Winter Storm hits the desert?!

Happy New Years Eve to all. I hope everyone is able to celebrate with family, friends, or loved ones tonight! And -- I hope everyone has a safe evening!! Be careful out there! We are finally experiencing some "weather" here in Tucson. I use "quotation marks"...because this "weather" the Tucsonan's are FLIPPING OUT over is just a "chilly October Day" in North Dakota (where I came from) Yesterday morning...I was getting off work. I could hear the wind blowing, and the rain falling throughout the night. There were moments where...I kind of want to crawl into one of the hospital beds and take a snooze. When 7:30 am rolled around, I was very anxious to go home after 3 nights on. I was ready to BOLT out the door.... ...when I was stopped by an oncoming shift coworker, who stated, "Abby, maybe you should stick around until the weather clears up. It's pretty bad out there...." FEeling concerned, I asked, "Really? Are th...

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...
