Why I Have A Blog


I spent a little time yesterday playing with spring flowers. Not outside playing, because there was snow but I'm okay with that.  I don't care one lick that it snowed yesterday.  Nope, not me, I am totally neutral on the subject.

(Does anyone think mother nature reads this blog?)

(Does anyone think she will stop this snow crap if I act like I don't care?)

(Umm does anyone think I might be a bit off my rocker?)

(Never mind I don't want to know the answer to any of those questions.)

Anyway back to the spring flowers, being as it was to cold and snowy to play outside I spent some time playing with photo shop.  I had fun and only slightly cursed mother nature when I saw that these small little girls lost their blooms to the snow today. RIP my little friends until next spring.


After posting yesterday I had so much fun reading your comments.  I decided that the number one reason I have a blog is because of you.

All of you.

You could probably tell I wasn't in the best of moods and as your comments popped up I just laughed.  From chocolate to roller coasters to quit thinking and just do.  Your insights make me smile.

I just want to say Thank You.  You make me think, you make me laugh, and you make being a mom just a tad easier. Uploading all my daily grief on to the Internet is like a weird kind of therapy session. Except I have many therapist with many treatments that are all umm a tad unconventional. I like unconventional! Almost as much as I like explanation points!!!

Hope you have a wonderful Tuesday!

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...
