2010 Crazy

Happy New Year everyone, I hope that you all had a fun New Years Eve. We were quite boring this year. Games, sweets and movies with the family. I didn't even make it to midnight. Well midnight here. I made it to midnight somewhere. I am such an old fart.

Oh well, the New year and a new decade is here. Yay!! I have no idea why a new year always makes you feel like anything is possible. I am being such a nerd this year and am actually excited about the new year and all the possibilities.

Hopefully, I sustain this mood when real life, real schedules, and huh humm Christmas bills start on Monday.

Well actually, I am pretty sure I will because that is one of my New Year's Resolutions is to develop a better attitude. Kinda like Willow's New Year's Resolution to suck a little less. Though I have to say in all the years I have known Willow I have never known her to suck. She must have kept that side of her hidden from me.

I have to many New Year's resolutions which of course is a New Year's Resolution no,no. You are just suppose to make one change at a time. WHATEVER!! Well maybe I will just attack one goal at a time or maybe I will just loop them all together and consider it part of my better attitude goal.

That being said there are a few blog related changes taking place. First, I do plan on bringing back the 52 blessings challenge. Which lasted a whole month and a half last year. This year I will be a little more flexible and if I have to post four in one day then that is what I will do. Just as long as there is four to five a month done. I really think that it helps me to concentrate on the good stuff that happens in life.

Second, I will be doing a lot more work on my second blog BK@home (www.bkathome.blogspot.com). The poor little blog died on April 22 last year and it sits all abandoned and lonely. Well it might not have feelings so it may not feel abandoned but I fell like a bad mom every time I see it on my dashboard. I will be bringing it back to life with a few post. Starting with a rehash of our Christmas Eve party. A little run down on the menu and how we handled 30 people in our little home. So add our little home blog to your reader and look for some post.

On a totally non blog related note. Our little group of bikers are planning on attacking the Little Red again this year. However, due to all of our schedules we have decided to opt for the shorter 50-60 mile route. If your interested we would love for you to join us. We are looking forward to the ride and hope to make it a kind of strange and twisted tradition. Let me know.

I have blabbed on and on and if I am going to keep my word on this years resolutions I better get busy. Hope you all have a wonderful day.

Prayers and Hugs

WHAT????? Who is doing little red. I never said anything about doing it. I might consider it though 60 would be easy after last year. I THINK!!!!

You're not old, sweetie...you are a seasoned professional.

I watched the ball drop from the comfort of my own home...haven't been out on NYE in forever...may never want to again! The drunk drivers...the bad weather. I can stay home and get pickled and go to sleep. I like all 3 of these things!

Happy Twenty-Ten!

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. ...
