Fall Flowers

It is raining it is pouring.

The green leafs are turning golden.

The sun is setting and the rays are bursting through the gray clouds.

Ghost, pumpkins, and yellow mums decorate the porch. All of this can mean only one thing.

It is fall!

I can't help but look forward to the holiday season.

So I have to know what are you looking forward to this holiday season?

I'm looking forward to Christmas vacation. I am anticipating having my wild hooligans all to my self. I am eagerly planning to have them help make toffee, cookies, pies, rolls, fudge, peanut butter balls, and all the other treats that come with the holiday season. I am hoping for long bike rides (weather permitting), lazy movie days, loud singing, and quiet reading. I am yearning to hear heavy drops of rain splash against our metal awning in the back yard while I make hot chocolate. I am waiting for big, wet puddles that we can jump in, and freshly raked leaves.... I am ready for more family time!

Oh the holidays. Thanksgiving should be fun! 10 days in the blessed California sun will be a welcome relief from all the dreaded snow that I know will blanket us here in good ole Utah. Christmas is another story. The grumpiest of all the grumps has to get tonsils out during vacation so that shall be a challenge. :) Ice cream Christmas or banana split meltdown? We shall see!

I really do love the holidays! It's my favorite time of year. Well, other than when it's sunny. :)

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
