Back To Work

I'm sitting here pouting, yes that is right pouting, and every time Brent ask me what my deal is I yell at him, "I have to go back to work today."  I'm such a baby you would think that I worked full time and had to be away from my home 40 hours a week.  How do working moms do it? That is how do they do it with out pouting as I am in a full out pouting mode.  

The funny thing is I will get to work, get in the water with those cute little munchkins, ok there will be one or two that aren't so cute, but overall they will be cute and fun and I will remember that on the whole I like my job. I mean I have a boss who gave me 6 weeks off during the busiest season so you would think I would be grateful and not all pouting because she asked me to come back one session earlier then I wanted to.  

However, that isn't the case because right now I have to get off the computer and go get ready for work and I'm pouting about it.  Poor me!  I know I can feel you all sympathise with my pain.

PS I need to post some pictures so after work maybe I will torture you all with some more pics of the garden.  Hey what happened to the sympathy?  What I'm feeling now is, "Is she ever going to stop with the garden pics?"  Aren't you glad it snows in Utah and eventually I will have to stop?

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
