Ten on Tuesday!

1. If you work, do you drive to work or take public transportation?

I drive, and it's only a 10-15 minute drive! I love it. It used to be 50-1 hr before we moved.
2. How often do you get your haircut? Do you go to the same person every time?
I haven't had a haircut in 8 months, and I don't plan on doing it any time soon. And I don't even like my current hairstyle. I"ve just given up. I used to go "Regis" -- because I have NO CLUE who/where to go in Tucson. Every time I'd get a hair cut, they'd make my look like a boy.

So I quit. (Do ya think I'm a little stubborn?!?! ;) )
3. Do you read the newspaper? If so, a hardcopy or the online version?
I don't read the newspaper. In fact, the only way a news paper is somewhat appealing to me is if I have a very large table to sprawl it out on. I hate holding this giant sheet of paper. We sometimes end up wrestling.

I use either google news or fox news.
4. What is the best book you have read this year?
American Wife. I highly recommend it!
5. What is the best movie you have seen this year?
I have no idea! We don't see a lot of movies. I haven't seen anything lately that really makes me jump out of my shoes. However, we did rent 127 Hours this weekend and I loved it!! What an inspiring story!
6. Do you tend to crave sweet or salty foods?
I wouldn't say I crave salt exactly..because I don't really like salty things. But I do crave vinegar, which is in that realm.

7. Do you eat breakfast every day? If so, what do you have?
Yes I do! I am extremely specific on what I will eat. And there's been a problem I'm facing....

You see, we've started this P90X fitness/diet routine. And we're in "Phase 1" -- where you are to really cut carbohydrates & fruit and increase protein.

I don't like protein. Eggs make me want to vomit. I like oatmeal with bananas (carb and fruit = no-no)

So now I'm resorting to eating lots of yogurt, and I'm still putting strawberries in my yogurt.

8. If you celebrate Easter, what Easter treat/candy are you most looking forward to?
Nothing that is sticking out in my mind, actually. I'm not a big Easter person. I guess I like the Starburst Jelly Beans.
9. How late is “sleeping in” to you?
7:00 am during a weekend day. 6 am during the week.
10. Where are you going on your next vacation?
We are going to Minnesota in June to see family and spend some time at the lakes. We will probably do San Diego in August for our anniversary! (I love love love that city!)

I didn't know that you didn't like salty foods! We def differ in that regard. bring on the pickles, tortilla chips, and popcorn!

I haven't seen 127 hours yet... I dont know if I can handle the amputation scene!!

What about Quinoa cooked with almond milk and some cinnamon+stevia? Loads of protein, and your tongue will believe its carbalicious.

It's hard to find a hairdresser you really like! What I have done in the past is ask someone whose hair style I really like who they go to! I, too, crave salty food - a handful of peanuts or almonds just make me happy! And then there's popcorn! Mmmmm! I think Suzanne's idea for breakfast sounds great! You could cook up some Quinoa in advance and just heat it up! And I must say, your sleeping habits sure did change since high school!

I'm with your sister on 127 Hours - I want to see it, but I'm also really nervous about the amputation scene. I heard people were fainting in theaters watching it!

Interested to hear how the P90X goes for you! I've heard it's pretty amazing, but a lot of work.

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...
