I felt the same way about the 0 in the phone number when we had to make a long distance call. While we lived in Anaconda, when they finally got private phone lines (I was 4) you only had to dial 3-4 numbers to call someone in town. I think it was the first three letters in their last name and then a first letter in their first name. I liked going to visit my grandma after we moved from there cause they still only dialed the 3-4 numbers until I was 12. They were so far behind, I think they still are. Nothing has changed in that town.

Great honk... we still have a rotary phone. Right now, it is hanging in my kitchen. It has an extra-long cord so that I can talk and cook dinner simultaneously, if I wish. Don't get me wrong, we have a cordless as well, but I do love the rotary.

Okay, I have never had a bad flight experience. Yes, I was frisked 4 times flying out of Europe (NEVER wear a huge copper hair clip while trying to fly overseas), then our flight was delayed because the passangers on the plane didn't match the itenerary. The flight attendants were running up and down the isles counting passengers, checking seats, looking at carry-ons, and reassuring us that everything was "just fine." Oh, and on the same trip, once in the States, we were asked to wait on the plane because during the flight a man had had a heart attack and he was taken off the plane first. However, as odd as all that seems it adds up to this, 1. I was in Europe --WOOHOO... psh, who cares about frisking when you've been in London. 2. The flight attendants were working freakishly hard to keep all of the passengers safe.
3. Good medicine and training allowed a man to survive a heart attack while over the Atlantic Ocean. What is there not to be greatful for?

Have I mentioned lately that I tend to be overly optimistic? I think Candide was more pessimestic than I am. =)

Registered! What Have I done?

I'm just home from the gym. My legs are shaky, my shirt is sweaty, and my muscles are loose. Saturday, I biked almost 30 miles on a hill before getting off the hill and finishing up at 35 miles. This morning I went for a nice 70 minute jog. (Legs are not HAPPY!) Last night before going to bed I registered for "Little Red." Paid my non-refundable registration fee. Needless to say I'm what you would called, "FREAKED!" Holy Cow what have I gotten myself into, a 100 mile bike ride.  Do you know that this ride will actually take me out of one state into another and back. Does that sound insane? Who gets up and says hey lets ride our bikes to that state over there and back? I think I have officially lost my mind. How does one know for sure if they have lost there mind? Short of registering for a 100 mile bike ride. Do you know people do these all the time? They do them for fun! Maybe that is the definition of insane. Well what is done is done and I have 16 weeks...

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...

Come and Gone

Christmas has come and gone the final hours of 2010 has began. I'm sure that I have a 2010 reflection post in me somewhere. But! Our 2010 is ending with family, friends and the baptism of my baby. It is so hard to type that sentence even harder to believe that we are baptizing our last little one. So the end of this year is going to come and go without a reflection post. I have chili to cook and family to visit and.... I did want to share with you a quick look at our Christmas We spent Christmas Eve at Grandma's house. At 80 years old she keeps the party rocking and we enjoy the time we get to visit with everyone. (A quick picture before we left. I try to get this picture every year on Christmas Eve.) Melting snowman was our little Christmas Eve joke since all of our Christmas snow had melted. (The stockings after Santa's Visit) This year we enjoyed a brown Christmas. The snowflakes all disappeared and the hopes of a White Christmas were in vain. ...
