Ten on Tuesday

Happy Tuesday, everyone! So wanna know how my Tuesday "started out" (I guess...however, after this morning event, I went to bed and slept for 4 hours and then restarted my day now!)

So there I was driving home from work this morning....I had my windows down to get some fresh air, was admiring the fog over the mountains and the beautiful morning.

....and the NEXT thing I know....

I look up and my car is veering off the road into a cactus!

WAKE UP!!!!!! I swerved back onto the road quite quickly and snapped to it! I apparently had a "narcolepsy-like" moment there, where I just completely shut out and started veering off the road. Luckily, it was on a back road close to my house. --Not a major street where I most likely would've ended up in an accident!

Scarrrrry! I need to switch to day shift like...yesterday ;)

Ten on Tuesday:
1. What condiments are always, always in your fridge?

Mustard. Mustard is mandatory for it put it on nearly everything....
Ketchup is also important.
Balsalmic vinegar...if that's a condiment? I love it on salads, vegetables, and even my sandwiches/wraps

2. How do you like your steak cooked? Your burgers?
In a restaraunt I would order my steak medium rare. At home - when I trust the cut of meat and freshness...I like it seared and almost rare. I know...some of you are grossed out.

I like my done - b/c I usually eat turkey burgers. If it's beef...medium.

3. What’s your favorite use for fresh tomatoes?
Plain! Or sliced, and meaty, on top of a salad! Mmm

4. What’s your go-to dinner when you haven’t planned anything in advance and you don’t feel like going out?

Chicken or steak sliced up and grilled and placed on a bed of lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, etc - delicoius salad!

5. What’s your favorite snack food lately?
Strawberries. I would say I've been eating a lot of apples lately....but I always eat a lot of apples ;)

6. What’s your favorite weekend breakfast to make at home?
I don't do "weekend breakfasts" I don't like wasting calories on breakfast food. (I'm not crazy about the taste...) So I just like oatmeal.

But I do make my husband breakfast burritos on the weekend.

7. What’s your favorite thing to grill? How do you do it?
Shrimp. - Brush some olive oil, lime, cayenne, garlic, S & P - place on skewers...yum.

8. What’s your favorite wine for under $10? If you’re not a wine person, what brand of beer is your favorite?
Paseo. It's a new one I've started trying. It has a bicycle on the front. It's got a good bold flavor for cheap wine!

9. Give us your most delicious cocktail recipe.
-1 1/2 oz white rum
-1/2 lime squeezed
-crushed mint leaves
-soda

Delicious mojito!

10. How do you like your eggs?
Not at all.

Okay, if I'm going to eat an egg....it has to be hard boiled. Random, I know. It's odd, too, because deviled eggs make me gag.

Yikes! Glad you're ok!!

I'm a medium well steak kind of girl. I feel like I often get funny looks at restaurants when I order it that well cooked, but I can't help it!

I, too, am glad you are almost done with nights! That was too scary! I'm going to have to try that wine you mentioned! Two more nights to go - whahoo!

How scary! Glad you were safe. I could only imagine how scratched your car would have been!
Working days will it be 7-7? That will be much nicer!

Be careful!!!

I like a rare steak at home as well!

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.

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...

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 ...
