Week Highlights

I'm stealing this idea from my sister, because I think it's a fun way to wrap up and reflect the week! And sometimes I'm not so creative about blogging ;)


The high of my week was attending a going away party to a friend of mine who is moving to Germany Monday. She will be dearly missed. But it was so much fun to celebrate new beginnings. And I got to reconnect with the nurses and doctors from my old job - and I have to say my heart is heavy! I miss them so much!

I've worked with this guys since I started my career in nursing, and they've all played integral parts in who I am - and have become great friends along the way.


The low of my week was paying all my bills from the multiple doctor's appointments I had 2 weeks ago! I had a massive sinus infection, so am very pleased I'm feeling better. But I really do not enjoy spending my hard-earned money on that.

The book I’m reading is ....... I really don't think I could even say I'm reading a book right now. How sad is that?! I have severely falling off the "reading wagon", and desperately need to get back on. All I read these days are journals from the "American Thoracic Society".

For my workouts, I completed: Monday I ran to a park 2 miles from my house, did sprints & push-ups on the soccer field (5 miles ran total). Tuesday I rested. Wednesday I lifted weights (back) and ran 4 miles. Thursday I did an 8 mile trail run. Friday I lifted shoulders. Saturday I plan to run 7 miles. Sunday I will lift weights and swim!

The best money I spent was my "Friday latte". My clinic is located in the School of Medicine @ the U of A. And on Friday's they host a Farmer's Market.  I splurged today and enjoyed a delicious latte from a local barista!

My plans this weekend include: Running with my girlfriends in the morning, taking puppy to obedience school, doing lots of baking for several parties, celebrating a girlfriend's 40th bday, attending a Mother's Day Brunch at another friend's house, and hopefully getting some relaxation by the pool!

This week flew!!! I cannot believe it's already the weekend. I am not complaining ;)

Sounds like you had a great week! I know that heavy feeling of missing coworkers from a previous job. It's bittersweet to move onto a new opportunity as the people you worked with before can be like a family. It's tough to stay in touch since everyone is so busy so it's nice to have events like the one you attended this week to bring everyone back together!

Sounds like you have a fun weekend on deck! Enjoy all of the baking!!

Wow, that was a busy week but sounded like fun, too! I know you worked your tail off on Saturday baking and so happy it all turned out great! Leaving old friends is never easy so I'm happy you had a chance to reunite!

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
