Reading

Reading

Any one who knows me knows that I love to read. If given the choice between TV and reading I would read. If given the choice between sleeping and reading I would choose reading if I didn't have to suffer for it the next day. Pretty much given the choice between anything and reading I would choose reading. So that is why I spend a lot of time on the web searching out the best books to read. I love finding list and challenging myself with some of the selections on the list. Sometimes that pays off and I discover a great book and sometimes I just get bored. Anyway if you are a read-a-holic take a look at this post I came across. It is pretty interesting.

Have a happy reading day. What was the last great book you read? Anything by Stephanie Myers doesn't count we all already know those are great books.

I must confess... I have not read any of Stephani Myer's books. I do however read. Hmmm, lately I have read Enchantment and Treasure Box, both by Orson Scott Card. My favorite Card novel is definately Ender's Game. If you have not read it... do it as soon as possible. The whole Ender's (and Bean) series is great!

The next book I plan of reading is Term Limits by Vince Flynn. I have heard very good things about his political thriller, so I'll let you know if it is worthwhile.

See, I didn't even know that Myers (with an S on the end) is how she spells her last name. So, I should have said I have not read any of Stephanie Myers' books (apostrophe placement is very important). =)

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
