Things you didn't know

Good morning, all! I stole this one from my sister Lisa. I like these kind of posts! Hope you all have a great weekend. I actually get a weekend finally, so I'm a very happy camper!

I am rather pithy at times.
I think often about the future.
I know life is full of endless blessings.
I have lots of painting to do, even though I've done hours of painting already..... The projects never end when buying a new home!
I wish crystal balls were real - and they could tell me if my decisions would be failures or successes.
I hate disappointing people.
I miss my family.
I fear that someday the US will be a 3rd world country.
I hear birds singing outside.
I smell coffee.
I crave a day out on the lake.
I search for a place to get my hair done. It's been 2 years since I've been in a hair salon.
I wonder what I will be doing 10 years from now.
I regret not paying attention to the "formal meetings" when I was in a sorority in college. I went to my 1st "real" meeting Thursday, and that was all I could think about when people were seconding motions, etc.....
I love trail running.
I ache in my upper back and shoulders from lifting yesterday. My upper back is also bruised from my deep tissue massage on Thursday.
I am not a "people person" as much as some think I am. Sometimes I just want to have silence. I love the quiet (at times).
I believe in God.
I dance in my kitchen while I'm cooking.
I sing Stevie Nicks while I'm cleaning house. I will never sound like Stevie Nicks. Who the hell am I fooling.
I cry rarely. And don't cry about real issues. I wait for frustration and stress to build up -- and will find myself crying because I can't open the pickle jar.
I fight not enough. I'm really good at turning my head and pretending things don't phase me. 
I win Scrabble against my husband when he's distracted by a football game or the history channel.
I lose Scrabble against my husband when he's actually paying attention.
I never EVER will eat a "Sonoran Dog". If you haven't heard of this - it's like "The thing" to eat in SW AZ. It's a deep fried hot dog served with chili, jalepenos, cheese, salsa, etc. I will never try this. Ever.
I always feel better once I've worked out, ran, or gone hiking.
I confuse my score in golf because I have to hit the ball so many times. I can hit straight, but not far.
I listen to the world around me. Never get caught up and forget to listen to the birds, and the wind.
I can usually be found at work, on a running trail, or in my kitchen baking or cooking.
I am scared of mice, cockroaches, scorpions, the dark, and gas stoves & grills..
I need for time to slooooowwww down.
I am happy about the way life is right now.
I imagine all the time. I'm quite the day dreamer.

Ooo, deep tissue massages are painful. i had one last fall and I did NOT like it. I know they are good for you as they work out your kinks/knots. But i prefer the relaxing ones that aren't painful/don't leave you bruised!!! :P I am a wimp!

Good luck w/ all the painting. I am not envious! And I am glad you are starting to get more time off for yourself! That's important or you will burn out!

Love this post! And you are so right - "Life is full of endless blessings"! We just have to be aware of them and thank God for them! The birds singing is one of life's blessins, isn't it? Also, the smell of a new born baby - there is nothing to compare to that! Keep dancing in the kitchen!

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...

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 ...

Good things

I must say there are many good things I have to be happy about right now! I am in my psychiatric-mental health nursing rotation right now. I originally chose nursing as my major beause from the time I was like 12 I wanted to be a psych nurse. I love it so far. The clinicals are incredible. I am finding I am more organized and ahead of things in this class than I ever have been! Now, if I could be this motived with Critical Care and my Capstone this summer......:) Ryan and I got an entire day together yesterday!!!! This is rare. My spring break kind of sucked. He would leave at about 6 a.m., and not return until 8 p.m. The poor guy is spread too thin! So I cherish a day like yesterday! Which consisted of............. Spring Training baseball!!!!!! Diamondbacks vs. Oakland Atheletics. It was nearly a close-out. 10-1. We met his bosses wife at the game and she insisted we ditch our seats & sit in the seats in front of them that they had purchased . So we were FRONT ROW BEHIND HO...
