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!

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...
