Pondering

A few things that I've been pondering lately....

....How is it so humid here and it doesn't rain? It's dark and cloudy every morning, I get excited for rain, and then around 1300 the sun breaks up the clouds and penetrates your soul.

....What if this new royal son grows up, and doesn't want to be king? Does he still have to reign as king because he was "born into royalty"? Just pondering...(and uneducated on their royal processes)

....I want to bake a jaw-dropping, amazing birthday cake for my husband next weekend. But I don't have a kitchen. I do have a crockpot, and I have access to the hotel's "shared kitchen". Any suggestions? So far my option in 1st place is making Tiramisu.

....On that note, why do I have such a hard time buying a birthday present for someone who I know better than anyone else in the world? It should be so easy! I think the shared bank accounts plays a role in this challenge.

....I'm starting to feel inadequate, as MOST of my graduating class from college are going back for their NP (Nurse Practitioner) this fall. I don't feel ready for that, and still feel like I'm in the "learning and growing" phase of my career.

....I've always assumed I'd go on to NP school, but lately, I'm not so sure that's what interests me. Why is it so hard for me to decide what I want to be when I grow up?!

....I wonder where I'll be living in November. I know my husband's next school is near LA, but we have absolutely no idea when. It's really hard to plan and apply for jobs. "Well sir, I'm not sure when I'm available for a start date. But I'll know 3 weeks in advance!?"

....I wonder if this whole experience will make me better at "going with the flow".

....Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! If there's one thing I love about my new job, it's having my weekends off! It does so much for my general satisfaction of life.

....I cannot believe July is almost over. (my friends in the Midwest will curse me for saying this, but I'm so excited for summer to be over with. I want to wear jeans.

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...

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 ...

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...
