Ten on Tuesday!

Another Community-Health 13 hour-day of clincal, class, running around like a beheaded chicken day DONE! Hurray!

And it's time for some Ten on Tuesday!

1. If you could open any type of store/place of business (money is no obstacle), what would you open?
-A fitness center.
-Not just your average fitness center. It would be big, beautiful, state of the art. Each person would have the ability to come to the gym and get whatever type of work out you want. Either private and absent of annoying meat-heads OR you can have your "group" environment.
-People would look forward to their work out and would feel excited to get into shape.

2. If all jobs paid equally, what occupation would you want? Why?
My first choice, since this is the realistic one -- would be a Family Practice Nurse Practitioner. Maybe Monday through Thursday, 8-5.

But my DREAM job description would go like this:
"Opening for house wife in the Ryan Nastase household. Must wake at 5:30 am to cook breakfast, brew strong coffee, and pack healthy delicoius lunches for Mr. Nastase. Daily distance runs and weight training must be incorported into the workday. Must be able to operate state-of-the-art vacuum cleaners and scrub floors with PineSol daily. Must have expertice, or just a basic ability to garden and can. Proficient knowledge of sales at Target and Ann Taylor Loft to furnish life and wardrobe appreciated. No masters degree required, but experience with lounging by a pool and reading is preferred. Must be able to cook dinners and open bottles of wine."

Hey, I can dream - right?

3. If you could be any animal in the world, what would you pick? Why?
A flamingo. I don't really like animals. Flamingos are the only animals I don't hate. They're so pink! And they stand on one leg!!!!! How cool.

I originally was going to answer "dolphin"... but then realized that'd be a horrible life. They're about equal to a circus freak in human life. I mean, what if they don't want to do flips and jumps for a damn cheap scrappy piece of tuna?! What if they enjoyed their life in the ocean? What if they are having a bad day and don't want to be charming and cute? Jeesh! So much pressure in a dolphin's life!

4. 4. If offered one “service” free of charge, which would you choose? (chauffeur, maid, personal shopper, chef, etc.)
-Chauffeur! I haaate driving -- I'm such a bad driver. But -- my chauffer would have rules to follow:
*My chauffeur would not be allowed to talk.
*If he/she talked...they'd get a decrease in pay.
*I could talk though. I could talk their ear off. Car time is my thinking/unwinding time.
*They must listen to whatever music I decide upon.
*They are not allowed to make fun of my loud singing with music.

5. What is one habit, no matter how hard you try, you just can’t seem to break?
-Fidgeting! I am SUCH a fidgeter. Constantly playing with my hair, messing with buttons on my shirt, playing with my phone, doing anything to keep my hands busy. My nervous habits are so annoying!! Sorry world and people who have to deal/talk to me. I am sure it is painful.

6. What is one thing that no matter how many you own, you still love to buy all the time?
-Work out clothes and swimming suits!! You can NEVER have too many race-back tanks, sports bras, and clearance-rank Target swimming suits!!

7. Out of all the game shows (past and present), which would you want to be a participant on and play?
-Ick. I hate game shows. Silly. Waste of money. The only ones that I have some respect for (Jeopardy) -- I'm not even smart enough to be on. I lack knowledge outside of my realm of practice.

8. If you could play the lead role in any movie that’s already been made, which movie would you pick?
-Don't even have to think about this one. It is my life-long secret dream (well, not secret anymore) to be Maria from The Sound of Music. I have that movie memorized. And I have a nun habit from a play I was in back in highschool!!

9. Name 5 things on your bucket list (things you want to do before you die).
-Grow a complete garden full of herbs, fruits, vegetables, potatoes, pumpkins, squash, and the whole works!!
-See the cathedrals of Rome.
-Sky dive with my husband.
-Qualify for the Boston marathon.
-Get a book published.

10. Which one of your birthdays was the best? What did you do that day?
-Last year's birthday! So full of surprises:
*Ryan surprised me and took the day off
*I came home to a clean house, balloons, and a baked/frosted cake
*We biked 20 miles through our favorite national park
*My parents flew to AZ to surprise me!!!!!!
-My birthday will be amazing again this year because my sister Lisa will be in the area and I get to spend it with her!! Yay for family on birthdays! I could get used to this!!!

I am also a fidgeter! Such a terrible habit. I have gotten better as I've gotten older so there may be hope for you! :)

I hate buying bathing suits - but probably because I have NOT bought many work out clothes - corelation? Hmmm??? My dream job would be to become a housewife again, too! I have so many things I want to do in that realm!

What a fun group of questions to answer.

Loved your dream job description (don't hate me because I'm living the dream! ;) ) I had no idea you can "can"!! I recently decided I want to can some homemade salsa and hotsauce.I would love it if you would show me.

Also, our bucket lists are almost identical!! (Substituting "Chris" for "Ryan" of course!)

Have a great week.

P.s.-No WONDER you love buying bathing suits...you look fabulous in ALL of them. :)

ABC

We are home from a wonderful, extended-weekend-getaway to Omaha. It was filled with family, relaxations, and greatness. I will do a more detailed recap on it soon! In the meantime, I'm doing this ABC bit that I stole from my cousin 's blog! Also, no -- I did not get switched to days. Trust me, I would've told the entire world and screamed it from roof-tops if I did. A. Age: 22, but that will change on Sunday. B. Bed size: King C. Chore you dislike: Cleaning the shower - especially dealing with hard-water stains. Lime away=ouch D. Dogs: Really really really really really dislike. Really dislike. Sorry. I could do a post in itself about my dislike for canines. E. Essential start to your day: Bowl of oatmeal/or cereal with bananas. Or fruit F. Favorite color: Greeen G. Gold or silver: Definitely silver. H. Height: 5'4'' - Sometimes I lie & say 5'5''. Some people lie about their weight, age, haircolor...I lie about my height. I...

Let's try this again...

Last year we purchased soil, mulch, and all these plants that grow great in well-watered, rich-soiled areas. Then we went away for a weekend, and everything dried up like a prune. I was a bit disappointmented, as gardening is a hobby & passion of mine. In fact, I became quite frustrated with our hot climate. But we did some research on desert plants, and I found a new love! Desert plants are quite fascinating, actually. Their tough outer skin & small leaves result in maximum absorbtion of our spare water -- allowing them to thrive on little. They are also extremely regenerative. You can cut a branch or an arm off a cactus, and plant it in the ground somewhere else to create a new plant. So we found a very local cactus nursery last weekend, and got to work! Here are a few of the gems we planted. (These are pictures I've found offline, as I haven't taken proper pictures of our front yard yet due to the immaturity of our plants at this point) The Desert Barrel ...

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...
