BOOK CLUB, BOOK CLUB, I LOVE BOOK CLUB!

Tonight is book club, yey! Well ok if I had actually gotten around to posting this blog when I was suppose to then that would have been true. But the truth is that book club was last night. Our book club has been dying for a little while so we are trying to pump some new life into it. It appears our biggest problem with book club is that while we choose a book to read and then read the book we rarely actually spend time discussing the book. To many other important things to discuss. Such as what Kindergarten teacher is really not a good teacher, and Albertson's is having their Box Top Sale, and my kid licks his foot every night before he goes to bed is that weird? "Ummm" we all answer, "Of course not, I do that too." So as I was saying, while we mention the book in passing we don't spend a long time dwelling on it because we have important things to talk about. You know like licking feet and lifeguard abs. However, we had a blast and a few times I laughed until I cried, we all did which makes me wonder why Brent keeps asking if we had a good time. "Did he not hear us cackling all night?" It was a great time and it is always fun to have a girlfriend night.

However, dear readers I have a bone to pick with you. I am very disappointed that my kitty pictures have elicited no comments. I mean my photography skills rocked. A cat licking her chops while staring out the window at birds, come on a chuckle should have been had by one or two of you. An animal so in love with her catnip she rolls around on the floor in glee. I'm shocked that not one person could connect with a love that great. All I can think is that one, you are bored of me and while you endured the garden pictures the animal pictures are just to much. Two, you are not animal people and only think that crazy, insane, not so intelligent people would own a 170lb dog. No offense, because I agree! Three, you missed that post and the pictures and I have to post them again so as to get your attention. Or four, you are missing my garden post and wondering what happened to them.

That must be it you have not had enough flower pictures of late and who wants to look at a stupid picture of a cat when there is a whole hard drive full of flower pictures. :) Ok, well of course tomorrow is SUPER SOCCER SATURDAY post but come Sunday it is going to be flowers, flowers and flowers because I hate to disappoint you.

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!...

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

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...
