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?

YUMMY!!!!! I am smiling right now.

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...

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. It is always nice to take time out and spend time with family and enjoy each others company. I am looking forward more than I can say to our Thanksgiving break. I wrapped up my diversity class good, bad, or indifferent it is done. YAY! Reflections is all but done. This year we had 130 projects submitted three years ago when I started as the Reflection chick we had 9 projects submitted. It almost brought me to tears seeing all the kids projects and their creativity. So very awesome and soooo much work. The economy is looking a tiny bit better and it looks like we may get a little good news in the coming months. That will be a welcome break. All in all I have to say things are looking up. Which brings me to my thought for the day "As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." ~John Fitzgerald Kennedy My greatest hope for this holiday season is that I can live by the spiri...

Hip Hip Hurray, Tomorrow is PIE Day

Well in a little less then 24 hours I am going to have to reset this counter.  I can hardly believe that it says 30 days.  I have to tell you I never thought I would make it this many days I really thought I would have to reset it at some point in time. It has been a huge motivation for me knowing that you guys are watching the counter.  Also, knowing that even if you didn't catch me in the time allowed you would see that I punked.  That I didn't have the self control, not to eat sugar. Every time I would think of eating a goodie, I would think about reseting the clock.  I would wonder who was online, I would wonder if I would get caught, I would wonder who would catch me.  By the time I got through thinking about all of that I would decide the treat wasn't worth it. Another motivation has been my kids, who have said, "Mom you don't have to reset the counter no one would know."  I wanted them to see that  I could be honest and not do something I shouldn't ...
