SUN! YAY!

We have sun people. Real sun. Real warm your buns, leave the windows open, play in the garden sun. 

It is wonderful!  So wonderful that I am having a hard time finding the motivation to do anything but play outside.  I am forcing myself to keep the house clean. I am forcing myself to go to work today. I am forcing myself to acknowledge that the kids still have a month of school left. Oh, and I have to pull off an assembly for the school. 

Anyone have any great Reflection motivation ideas?

Anyways, all in all I have to say it is wonderful to have some good weather. It is making me feel all kinds of motivated in the bike department. Brent helped me dig a five hour block out today and I will be hitting the road for a 60 mile bike ride. Yikes and Yipee!!

Little Red is in just 7 short weeks. I am having a hard time believing I am still doing this. Who rides there bike for 100 miles? I'm looking forward to the accomplishment but YIKES! Why can't they have a 100 hour garden parties now that would be FUN!

I better get off this computer and finish getting all those pesky chores out of the way. I need a maid. 

Have a great Monday!

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!...

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...

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
