Ten on Tuesday

I survived a very hellish, intense weekend. I feel like I have completed a marathon, or fought some kind of battle. We converted to a new system -- and we are almost clear and successful.

And I only pulled out HALF of my hair.

Taking a break from real world for a little T on T!

1. What temperature do you keep your thermostat on during the day?

During the day we aren't here -- so we set it to 82 degrees. It's running an avg of 105 lately (outdoors)....
2. What temperature do you keep your thermostat on at night?
73 degrees F. However, last night while my husband was sleeping...I turned it to 72. I was boiling, and I said "Screw budgeting!!!"

I know..how scandolous. 1 degree....
3. In a canister of mixed nuts, do you pick out certain varieties and leave the others?
Yes. Almonds and Brazillian nuts. I hate cashews.

4. What is your favorite kind of M&M?
Dark chocolate.
5. How do you buy books? (Amazon, bookstore, new, used, electronic, etc)
Amazon for my Kindle. I also am a big fan of the Library! Free books rock my world.
6. How do you like your eggs cooked?
Hard boiled. That's pretty much the only way I really like eggs.
7. Can you whistle?
Barely. It's pretty wimpy.
8. What common word do you always misspell?
Misspell.
9. Are you afraid of flying?
The only thing I fear about flying is infectious disease and screaming children.
10. How often do you go shopping?
Randomly. I haven't had a real shopping trip where I bought more than 1 item since February 27. I do grocery shopping on a PRN basis. (as needed).

Do you have a progammable t-stat? I am so glad that the weather is cooler now and we can open our windows every night! Sweet sleeping weather! Hope your's comes soon, too! My favorite eggs are hard boiled, but I never take the time to make them!

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...

30 Blogs: Something I'm Afraid of

This isn't a very difficult post for me to write about. I am such a "scaredy cat" about so many things. I could quite possibly turn this into a book. I was also the kid that wouldn't go on the monkey bars at school, out of fear that my arms may be ripped out of their sockets. I was the kid who got to the end of the diving board, and then shriveled into a ball at the end shaking in tears. I got to the top-climax spot on a roller coaster, and start saying "Oh my God, get me off this thing. I don't want to do it anymore! Get me off this thing!!" Then I went college, and majored in nursing. I leanred all the horrible ways one can reach multi-system organ failure. If I have too much coffee, and feel maybe the slightest heart palpitation - I am listening to my heart sounds with my stethoscope......... So here's my list of irrational some fears. ;) (some of these may be comical & pathetic to you):\ Heights Vomit (I've gotten better about th...

Let's try this again...

Last year we purchased soil, mulch, and all these plants that grow great in well-watered, rich-soiled areas. Then we went away for a weekend, and everything dried up like a prune. I was a bit disappointmented, as gardening is a hobby & passion of mine. In fact, I became quite frustrated with our hot climate. But we did some research on desert plants, and I found a new love! Desert plants are quite fascinating, actually. Their tough outer skin & small leaves result in maximum absorbtion of our spare water -- allowing them to thrive on little. They are also extremely regenerative. You can cut a branch or an arm off a cactus, and plant it in the ground somewhere else to create a new plant. So we found a very local cactus nursery last weekend, and got to work! Here are a few of the gems we planted. (These are pictures I've found offline, as I haven't taken proper pictures of our front yard yet due to the immaturity of our plants at this point) The Desert Barrel ...
