Ten On Tuesday

This batch of questions was written by Yours Truly!!

1. How do you take your coffee on an average day? How do you like your coffee if you’re spluging?
-I make it a little extra dark, I like 1 packet of Splenda, and a little Fat Free French Vanilla.
-If I'm at a coffee shop, I get Iced coffee with skim milk & splenda.
-If I'm splurging, I like Fat Free Almond Latte. (If it's not Christmas time, then I get into the peppermint or pumpkin flavors!)


2. What is your genre of books to read?
I don't really have a specific genre that I'm stuck on. I'm really falling into the Freakonomics and Super Freakonomics books - whatever genre it is.

3. Where do you want to retire, if you could go anywhere?
I would like to retire in San Diego on Coronado Island in a mansion on the beach. Or Florida on the Gulf side. To be honest, I'll take any gorgeous home on the beach.

4. The 17-year-old you is told to write a 10-minute speech. What topic would you have picked?
I wrote a lot of 10 minute speeches when I was 17, since I was a speech geek. I did a lot of "Entertain" speeches (which talked about a topic in a satirical or humorous manner). Some of my topics were about:
"Being the Youngest In the Family", "The Stupidity of High School Romance", "The Evils of Video Games"

5. What word describes you best?
Traditional:
Some of my thoughts/beliefs may be viewed as "old school". But, it's who I am.
I strive to be the nurse who still gives back rubs and bed-baths, and I make it priority to be the sweet-little-wife who is truly "the nurturer" and cooker/cleaner-extraordinaire.

6. What is the next “event” that you are looking forward to? (ex.: vacation, moving, date, job change, etc)
Our weekend Stay-Cation at Star Pass for our Anniversary.
I'm also (in a crazy, weird, sick manner) looking forward to my Capstone Dress Rehearsal on Wednesday. It's starting to feel real!!! :) I've been practicing tonight!
7. Do you like to discuss controversial topics or do you prefer to avoid those types of conversations?
Totally depends on who I'm talking to. If I know that the person and I will never agree - I avoid it, because what's the point. In other words, if the person in a firey, liberal, feminist - We should probably just stick to topics like "the weather" or "recipes". I'm just being honest.

But if we disagree on a few minor issues - I kind of enjoy it. I like to see other points of views.
8. Would you rather add 4 free hours to each day, or add 1 extra day to the week?
-Definitely 4 extra hours.
-When I'm working - I leave the house at 5:50 am, come home at 8:30 pm. I'd like to have a few extra hours to just unwind. I feel like on "work days" - I work and sleep
-Yuck.

9. If you created a sports team; what would your colors and mascot be?
I'd absolutely name my team the "Blobfishes". How cool is that thing? Colors would be Pink and Yellow. How manly.


10. If you had to be a teacher, what subject would you teach?
I would be an English Teacher. I am the "go-to-gal" for proofreading and turning papers red. You would never think that reading my blog. Being I have a running rate of 1 error/sentence. But, when it comes to paper-writing...I love to "make it bleed"
 
I would also love to implement speeches, debates, and research papers. I love English....
 
Happy Tuesday. Today I am on clinical #8/10. And 3 weeks to go! I'm almost done!!

Very cool "blopfish"! I can see you wouldn't do well as a team owner as no one would want to belong to that team! :)!
Better work lots of overtime if you want to retire on one of those beaches! Can I come and visit - or better yet, could you build a "mother-in-law" apartment in your retirement home?

I think we get our editing skills from mom! She is the best paper editor, too! :)

Love the blob fish! These questions were awesome!

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...

30 Blogs: Something I'm Afraid of

This isn't a very difficult post for me to write about. I am such a "scaredy cat" about so many things. I could quite possibly turn this into a book. I was also the kid that wouldn't go on the monkey bars at school, out of fear that my arms may be ripped out of their sockets. I was the kid who got to the end of the diving board, and then shriveled into a ball at the end shaking in tears. I got to the top-climax spot on a roller coaster, and start saying "Oh my God, get me off this thing. I don't want to do it anymore! Get me off this thing!!" Then I went college, and majored in nursing. I leanred all the horrible ways one can reach multi-system organ failure. If I have too much coffee, and feel maybe the slightest heart palpitation - I am listening to my heart sounds with my stethoscope......... So here's my list of irrational some fears. ;) (some of these may be comical & pathetic to you):\ Heights Vomit (I've gotten better about th...

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 ...
