Hard to Believe

S.'s all star team played their first tournament this weekend.  They did awesome! I won't go into details as to the why but they are playing all of their games 9v11.  They took on the two teams that placed 1st and 2nd in the tournament and one other team.  The other team they shut out 8 to 0 which isn't to shabby.  The 1st and 2nd team they lost to but did not get shut out.  They managed to hold their own even down 2 players.  It was really fun to watch and we are getting more and more excited about our trip to Hawaii.
On our way home from the tournament on Friday Brent asked what we had going on Saturday.

I was quiet for a long time and Brent said, "Really we have that much going on that you can't tell me it all."

I thought a moment longer and said, "No we don't have anything."

"Not anything," he said.

"No not a single thing, no place to go, no place the kids need to go, nothing were suppose to get done, nothing," I said.

"I think your wrong Krissi, there has to be something."

"No, I'm telling you nothing."

"Well surely you're forgetting something."

"Nope nothing,"I said.  So we spent the whole day doing what we consider nothing.

It was awesome and how sad is our life that we couldn't believe we had a whole day free.  When did life get so busy that a day off seems like a miracle? 

Well here is to a day off take one it is a great feeling!!!!

Ride 103.5 miles, CHECK!

Friday 9:40 am I have always lived my life defined. Meaning that I know who I am and I know my capabilities. I am perfectly aware of what I can and can not accomplish. Which is why I never do anything that I wont succeed. Also, a reason why I don't do a lot of things. A LOT! Among the definition of who I am is, "Not an athlete." Really, when we get down to it, it is the reason why I am freaking out about a 100 mile bike ride. Athletes ride a 100 miles, non-athletes aka Krissi do not ride 100 mile bike rides. It is very very simple. Yet here I am messing with my very own definition. I have every confidence that I will reach the end of the ride tomorrow. I have trained, I have worked, I have screwed with the very definition of who I am. Leaving the only option of finishing and dealing with what I have done to myself. I am positive that somewhere around 50 miles I will question and doubt my capability of finishing. I am positive that I will remember, "I am not athlete!...

Ask "the SwimMom" Holiday Edition

One thing that you may not know about me is that in my senior year of high school I worked at Baskin Robins. I scooped, dipped, mixed, and created ice cream concoctions for almost an entire year. It was the best and worst job I ever had. My favorite ice cream desserts were malts. Ummmm!!! That is why when I came across this recipe a few years later I couldn't wait to try it. That is why after I tried this recipe it became one my favorite cookie recipes. Below is the recipe for: "Chocolate Malted Cookies" 1 cup butter-flavored shortening 1-1/4 cups packed brown sugar 1/2 cup malted milk powder 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 1 egg 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1-1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chunks 1 cup (6 ounces) milk chocolate chips In a mixing bowl, combine shortening, brown sugar, malted milk powder, chocolate syrup and vanilla; beat for 2 minutes. Add egg. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; gradually...

The Second of December

Today is already the second day of December. If I'm not careful the month is going to pass in a blink. Today is also the second day of Hanukkah. I watched the lighting of the National Menorah on TV today and realized how grateful I am to live in a country where we celebrate and embrace all different cultures, religions, and people. It is pretty awesome! I just wanted to pop in for a few minutes and say "Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah!" Krissi
