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.

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
