Finally Friday!

Happy Friday!!! Finally!!! This week dragged for me. So much stuff to get done around the house. I feel like I need 12 hours to just "regroup".

The high of my week was I'm going to jump ahead and say that my high is going to be Friday night's date night! I have been in dire need of a date with Ryan, and Friday night after I get off work -- he is taking me out! :)

The low of my week was dealing with some "difficult" personalities. That's all I'm going to say. That can really put a "damper" on one's mood!

My favorite outfit was Wednesday's outfit. I get a deal of criticism from a coworker about my choice of attire. They choose to wear scrubs, and I choose to wear business attire. (other people throughout my hospital with my same role wear business attire, as well.)

 At my old job, I would wear pencil skirts about 3 days/week. They've sat in my closet since I started this new job out of feeling self conscious. But this week I remember something "Since when do I give a flip what people think about my clothes??!!" So I rocked my pencil skirt with prideful professionalism!!



For my workouts, I completed: Monday - Rest day
Tuesday - 6 mile track workout (800 warm up, 2x400, 2x800, 2x1600, 2x800, 2x400, 800 cool down)
Wednesday - Weight lifting  (shoulders) + 20 min tabata/Plylometrics
Thursday - 8 mile HILLY run
planned (I'm writing this Thursday night)
Friday - Weight lifting (back & biceps)+ 30 min swim
Saturday - Long hike
Sunday - 6 mile run or 30 mile bike ride

The best money I spent was deposit on another scuba trip for Memorial Day weekend :)

My plans this weekend include: Friday night Ryan and I are trying out a restaurant called "Five Palms". Saturday we are going hiking, taking Miles to obedience school, doing some shopping, and going to a birthday party at a friend's house. Sunday we will go to church, go biking or running, and spend the day bbq'ing and cooking!

How was your week??

You look awesome in that attire! It is so hard not to let what people say about us affect what we do so I'm glad you took your own advice and wore what you wanted!
Sounds like a busy but fun weekend!
Missing you!

You are totally rocking that pencil skirt! That really sucks someone was rude enough to make a comment about your attire.

Have a wonderful weekend and date night!
That sucks that your coworker makes comments about what you wear. It's none of her business! You look great in that pencil skirt. You are so tan, by the way!!

Enjoy your date night tonight. Phil and I are in need a real weekend date night as a lot of our weekends/nights lately have involved manual labor.. But hopefully we can fit one in Memorial Day weekend.

Back to unpacking for me... Have a great weekend! And that is exciting that you have another scuba trip planned!

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

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

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
