"Currently"

Well, my friends, I am currently not feeling incredible creative. Therefore, I have used the format from my sister's blog. Currently. 
Current Book - The NRP book. "Neonatal Resuscitation Program" -- In other words, I work in an hospital that doesn't have "Labor and Delivery". Unfortunately, there are people who go an entire pregnancy with no prenatal care and roll (literally, ha) into an ER ready to birth that baby. And I want to know what I'm doing! Especially in case things go astray. So, several of my coworkers and I are getting certified. It is terrifying, and exciting. (babies scare me) I'm testing this week. 



Current Drink - Diet Tonic Water with lime. (also goes great with gin. Duh). But it's refreshing! 

Current Excitement - I just purchased my 1st Road bike! I have been riding my husband's bikes. I have never owned my "own" bike in . Always had hand-me-downs (I was the only kid with a banana seat bike when I was in grade school). Here she is!:



Current fashion trend - I wouldn't call it "fashion" -- but my spandex shorts, cycling shoes, helmet, and jersey is my new favorite outfit!



Current Love - My phone calls from Ryan.



Current Food - Energy balls! I'm having an "energy ball making" party with a girlfriend on Thursday. They are all natural made from things like PB, dried fruit, oats, flax seeds, protein powder. I will try to remember to share our recipes.


Current Indulgence - These Australian Red Licorice things I get at Sprouts. Holy yum I love licorice....


Currently Pondering - Moving to San Antonio for the summer to be with my husband while he's at a different pilot school. I think we're past the pondering part. I'm in with my travel-nursing-agency and my boss is aware.


Current Mood - Calm. Sometimes I feel guilty, but I can't remember the last time I was really 'stressed' about something. I'm not sure if the stress I see at my job has killed my senses, and I take things on gracefully these days? 



Current New Find -  A New Pandora Station - called "Hot Club Jazz Radio". I like to play it while I'm cooking and I feel like I'm in a very hip and edgy place...and then I'm realize I'm just dancing in my kitchen.



Current Outfit - Jean shorts, blue & white striped tank top, sandals. (Are you jealous, MN & ND?! Sorry guys)
 

Current Peeve - I don't really have any "peeves" -- but I am frustrated and heartbroken to hear the recent news of the explosions at the Boston Marathon today. In fact, I have no words at this point. 

 

Current Song -  International flight - David Snell ....I adore the instrumentals. (I'm in a big jazz mode lately) also,
Radioactive - Imagine Dragons 
 
Current Triumph - I swam a mile with no wall time today! (aka, no breaks or push offs) This was a challenge for me.

 

Current TV Show - I don't really watch tv much, to be honest. But if I am going to watch anything, it's usually House Hunters International. 


Current Wish-List - A job that doesn't require me to work weekends. A day with my husband. (these are far-fetched....but one can dream!)


Currently Delaying - Hanging up new curtains I bought for our bedroom. I dislike hanging curtains.

Have you heard all of Imagine Dragon's music? Their entire CD is awesome! I own it so could burn you a copy if you would like?

I am glad that you are feeling calm these days! And I really hope everything comes together and you can join Ry in San Antonio. I think that would be good for both of you and it would be a good opportunity to temporarily check out another part of the country!

I loved both your & Lisa's blog posts using this format! I love to hear what you are both doing, thinking, and enjoying! I also like diet tonic water, but will remember to add lime to mine next time! It is refreshing! And we do envy your wearing shorts & sandals in AZ and NC! Geez, Louise, it's cold and miserable here!

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

8 Months

 Well, I missed month 1-8. But it is never too late to begin, right? Here is a recap of Maddy at 8 months. (I'm totally stealing this idea from my sister, Lisa. I thought it was so neat that she recaps her son's favorites and happenings every month)   How am I sleeping? Better than I was - but not as good as my peers. It also depends on if I'm teething. Last week, her 2nd tooth was poking through - so she was awake 3 times.  No matter how much I let her cry it out, I cannot seem to cut down her feedings. When I go in there - she is literally pulling at my shirt with her mouth wide open. So clearly she's hungry.  She eats 2 times/night and luckily goes right back to sleep. It is what it is. What am I eating? While we have had breastfeeding and bottle refusal struggles - I am so glad that taking to food as been relatively smooth. We are doing baby led weaning, and Maddy really enjoys most every food I've given her.  Her favorite foods are scrambled eggs, apples, and c

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
