Alex's Story "Volcano Blows"

Alex brought the following story home from school the other day. The assignment was to write a story about, "Things with holes." It was the most random, creative story that I have ever read. The ending made me giggle for hours. So I decided to share it with my blog friends who I'm sure will enjoy it...ok, ok, maybe not as much as I did but it should make you at least smile.

Volcano Blows

One time I found a big volcano. Then I climbed it. It seemed the hole was bigger then the volcano. If I didn't get out of there I would have been toast. And them BOOM it blowed. My Mom came and picked me up in the car. But she must be blind because she didn't see the lava. I tried to tell her but she said lets go get donuts. My donut's hole was small. I couldn't see it. The next day I went back to the volcano. I climbed it again there was only a little lava left. I got a button out of my pocket I put a long string threw the hole and stock it down the volcano hole and touched the lava with the button then pulled it up it was burnt in to crisp. WOW I said and went home.

THE END

Her Illustration

I laughed at the sweat and frown on her face as she climbed the volcano.

Much of the charm of her story came from her "creative" spelling.

Thank you for enduring my proud mama moment. It is so nice to have friends in the blog world who let you brag. Even about silly stories.

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!...

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
