I'm still alive!

Good morning! I just realized that I have been incredibly non-existent with blogging lately!

My excuse? 2012 has been off to kind of a blah start. I've had a lot of career changes over the past few months. Working 14 hour days 4-5 days/week has gotten the best of me. And when I'm not at work, I'm stressing out about it and replaying the events from my day in my head.

But things are bound to get better! I shouldn't be working this many hours. I'm not a doctor. Those kind of hours are for physicans..not nurses! ;)

Besides spending countless hours in a hospital....my precious days off have been spent cleaning, cooking, gardening, and running! Weather has been amazing in SW Arizona. In fact, on Sunday I spend an hour laying by the pool, reading a book, drinking Sangria in 77 degree weather!

In the kitchen.....I've been on a thai-food/Indian food kick lately. I've whipped up some delicious curries, and other good stuff!

Ryan & I have also gotten an interest in desert plants. After our struggle with drought last summer with my pentunias and daisies -- I said "to hell" with traditional plants...

A blog post soon to come on what I've learned about the peculiarity of desert plants & cacti!

I hope all is well with my few readers! Also hoping to be more present here in the next few months!

So happy to see your back online! I keep checking every day and am so glad you found a few minutes to blog! You've had a busy, busy month, and I know it has been more than stressful, too. Hang in there! You are lucky to be able to bask in the sun!

Yes, share your curry recipe! I am all about indian recipes. :)

I hope things quiet down for you soon. Those hours sound horrid. Makes me think back on my Target days... Eeks. Not fun. I hope you can live a more balanced life soon!!!

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...
