Weekly Review

The high of my week was making the decision to come home for Chistmas again!!! Prior to last year, it had been 6 years since we were home for the holiday, so this is exciting stuff!!

The low of my week was getting stung by 3 bees on 3 different occasions from last Sunday to this Sunday. Can you believe that! #1 while beach camping Memorial Day weekend, #2 at the BBQ we hosted yesterday, and #3 in the pool today! My ankle is double in size right now! #kankles

My favorite outfit was my scuba diving suit that I drove on Monday one more time before we came home. It's just too fun.


 


For my workouts, I completed:
Monday - 40 minute scuba dive (? does that count?!)
Tuesday - Ran 3 miles with Ryan, and then did weight training and pull-ups in my home gym
Wednesday - Ran 6 miles
Thursday - Swam 1200 meters, Lifted chest & tri's
Friday - Ran 8 flat miles, with some sprint intervals in the last 2 miles
Saturday - Track workout: 1600, 4 x 400, 1600 and then I ran stadiums. *huff puff*
Sunday - 31 mile bike ride (which I did with a big group including Ryan - it was so much fun! But hot!!!)

What I'm reading: The Luckiest Girl Alive - Jessica Knoll. It supposedly has a twist akin to Gone Girl.

The best money I spent was food and drink purchased for our pool party we hosted yesterday

My plans this weekend included:

Friday - went to Happy Hour with Ryan, and then we ordered Indian food and hung out at home
Saturday - track workout, took Miles to obedience school, I spent the afternoon making salads, guacamole, eggplant pizzas, and we had friends over for a pool party
Sunday - Biked 31 miles, did some shopping, and relaxed by the pool!

What were your week's highlights?

You look so cute in your scuba suit!

A book you should check out is The Girl on the Train! It's a total page turner like Gone Girl was!

The highlight of last week were getting a quiet night in with Phil (I'm all about quiet nights in lately as we've both been so busy lately) and my trip to Colorado!

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 ...
