Wine & Love

Yep...I'm creative! I'm stealing this idea from several bloggers! But it's cute!! And I have many things to drink wine over, and many things to love --So here it goes!

What makes me pour a glass of wine right now:
  • My 50 hour work weeks lately. And constantly striving to please all. It drains me. Sometimes I don't feel like a very "fun" person to be around anymore!
  • The fact that I feel like I'm pulled in way too many directions. If I make a mistake? It could be life-or-death. Some nights I drive home from work, and dont even remember my drive because I'm in such a daze of being totally "shell-shocked".
  • The other day a person hinted that I look pregnant
  • Why don't they just tell me, "Wow! Are you gaining weight?"

What do I love right now?
  • My husband and how flexible & great he is! I've recently gone gluten free due to a (about) 3 year issue with stomach problems, and now rashes all over my legs/arms. (I've been trying to pass it off..and make up excuses. But finally faced some reality and tried to make some changes) He's been so understanding & open to it...which helps extraordinarily!
  • Although it's the bane of my existence...I do love my job & the people I work with.
  • My garden. Every time I work in it, it is bigger, greener, and has more bulbs and new little vegetables popping up!
  • My bed. Which is seriously calling my name, since I've been up at 4:30 every day since last Tuesday! I have big plans of taking a melatonin & sleeping until 6 tomorrow!
Have a great week everyone!!

Great post! It always helps to "wine" a bit so we can put it behind us. I'm glad that your "love" list is longer! Sweet! Enjoy your night of sleep and day off, my dear!

I agree with your mom, it does sometimes help to "wine" a bit! Heh!

I can't believe anyone would think or hint that you've gained weight...you look beautiful and perfect to me. (In fact, when I saw you Friday I thought you looked super healthy and happy. :) )

Hang in there with work and with the new diet. Thank goodness there are so many "gluten-free" options at the grocery stores now. Hope you find some relief!

Sorry to hear about work :( I couldn't even imagine doing what you do and can totally understand why it's the bane of your existence right now - hope it gets better. Enjoy a nice, long sleep!!

Hope you get to sleep in soon. Although 6 is not sleeping in my book. ;)

Just remember to put yourself first when you can. I think one big lesson I learned in my 20s was how to say no. I used to be a 'yes woman' and then i learned that it wore me out and it just wasn't worth it to keep up the facade of being able to do it all. I know you can't say no to work stuff. But maybe try to say not to other stuff until your work schedule gets back to more manageable hours...

Good luck with the gluten free diet. We just got home from the grocery store and there was an entirely new section of gluten free. Very nice. There are so many more options these days!

Take care of yourself.

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...

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 ...

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...
