Sugar War!

According to my no sugar counter it has been eleven days since I last enjoyed yummy, yummy, yummy sugar.  

I miss it, I miss it soooooooo much.  I'm pretty sure that I am only a day or two away from having sugar filled dreams.  

I have already started planning my plan of attack for my Thanksgiving no-sugar day off.  After asking the opinion of many friends (who really don't care but are kind enough to pretend to care) what I should enjoy on Thanksgiving.  My favorite answer came from my boss.  

Yes, even my boss has to put up with stories of my no sugar life.  

Sad, I know! 

She suggested I don't go into a diabetic coma by over doing it.  

Who me? 

Over do it? 

She must be thinking of someone else. 

Don't you think? 

She suggested that I take a tiny sliver of all the pies and enjoy a few delicious bites of every kind.

Did you hear that Sharonda? 

A tiny sliver of ALL the pies.

As in many, many, many pies.

Remember when Zaron said he wanted the whole counter filled with pies?

I second that motion...

I third that motion....

The vote carries a whole counter filled with pies.

Of course I can't bake them, to much temptation.  So get baking girl.  A WHOLE counter full.

Why aren't you agreeing?

Ok, blog world my sister-n-law won't make me a whole counter of pies.  Do you think that is fair? Don't you think she should want to make me a whole counter of pies.  Isn't that what family does for one another?

Hey, more no agreeing.

Hummpph!!! Fine!!!  

So what kind of pies would you fill the counter up with?

For me, not real-fruit pies, I'm not big on them...

Traditional pumpkin pie.

Oh, and the not-sot traditional pumpkin & cream cheese pie that my sis-in-law makes.

And "oreo" pie. I was going to make it last week... unfortunately the Oreos got eaten before the pie got made....

And, just to make your mouth pucker, lemon pie made extra sour with condensed milk & fresh sqeezed lemon juice. My Dad likes this one so sour that not even whip cream can calm it down.

Sorry. I really don't think this helped your no sugar diet. But it did make me more excited for Thanksgiving.

I say strawberry. Sure it is the wrong season... but a nice strawberry pie is the best!

One year we had a house full of friends for Thanksgiving. My mother offered to make everyone's favorite pie. She figured that since they weren't with family, she would make them feel as homey as possible. For her, that meant pies. Lots and lots of pies. That year our 21, yes 21, guests requested 19, yes 19, different pies. It was a GREAT Thanksgiving.

Oooooh, okay maybe ruhbard. It is out of season too, but you only get thatone day... you might as well live it up with a nice tart ruhbarb pie.

Yes, I do know that suggesting ruhbarb nearly qualifies me as an octogenerian.

19 pies, 19 pies for 21 people. Doing the math here that means that there was almost enough pies for everyone to have they very own with very little sharing. Hummm...Did you hear that Sharonda you wouldn't want us not to feel "homey." With our numbers you would only have to bake 10 pies. :) Come on....please...

Pumpkin pie is my favorite. My mom always bakes a banana cream pie for Clint, yes he gets a whole pie. He is kind of spoiled. I don't like baked fruit though, like apple or cherry. Just seems unnatural to me. Don't much care for the chocolate pies either. I know, I am very weird. My favorite dessert is Raspberry Jellow Pretzel dessert. Sounds weird, but is oooohhhh sooooo gooood!

Our Christmas Letter

Each year I send out a Christmas letter and the one thing that frustrates me more then anything about the letter is that I can not include all the pictures I would like. That and Brent's rule that the letter has to fit on one side of one paper. I have gotten pretty clever with font size and margins to keep this rule. All you that have read this blog know that I am a sucker for pictures. So this year along with mailing out the letters I am going to post the letter with pictures. YAY ! So fun having your own blog to torture people anyway you want. Our Christmas cards were sent out on Monday so here in all it's digital glory is the letter again, this time with pictures. (Beginning of Letter) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope that this letter finds you happy, healthy and enjoying the holiday season. If you are like us, it has been a little bit of a difficult year dealing with increasing prices and a budget that isn't quite stretching to meet every thing you want it to...

Biking 45 Miles!

Tomorrow or Today depending on which day you read this post I will be riding my bike 45 miles. Registering for the ride has made this journey to ride my bike 100 miles very real.  Since tomorrow will probably be one of my last rides indoors I have decided to Twit about it. I'm not quite sure how my body is going to react to 45 miles and almost 3 hours on a bike. I'm pretty sure my head is going to be yelling bad words at me, at best. I'm sure there is going to be a lot of, this is crazy, what are you doing to yourself.  By Twitting about it I am going to feel a whole lot more accountable to get the ride done. Especially, if I feel there is any chance that people are logging on to see where I'm at and how it is going. If your feeling inclined I should be on the bike by 1pm Mountain time Friday the 27th. Check it out and make sure I survive!

"Laughing All the Way"

Most of the year Brent lives a pretty quiet existence. He goes about his own business with out the world taking much notice, to what he is up to and what he is doing. However, when the snow starts falling, the neighbors start laughing. Brent has become the neighborhood novelty. The funny guy on the corner. The, "Can you believe that Brent was outside, in the snow, shoveling, while in his sandals." Yes you read that correctly. While I refuse to buy boots, because I don't live where it gets cold and snows, and one needs boots. Brent simply does not wear said boots. Unless, he is going to work and HAS to. To the neighbors this is Brent. A few have tried to explain to him the core differences between living in California and Utah. Like, say, wearing actual shoes while shoveling. Oh, and hey, a coat! Brent's California brain has not excepted these facts. In fact, he claims that his sandals have better traction. "Big Sigh," it is nice to know your husband ...
