The Greatest Thing EVER!

I may have just discovered the greatest thing ever!

Yesterday, while at the store checkout I decided I wanted a pack of gum.

I'm normally a 5 gum girl.

I'm particularly fond of the "React," flavor.



It is black which makes Brent think I'm eating black licorice. Black licorice grosses Brent out. I swear you would think I was eating spiders the way he reacts. Also, it is just minty delicious. Ultimately I prefer mint gum and I'm not to fond of sweet flavors. I don't really even like bubble gum flavored gum.

However, as I stood there unable to find my favorite gum I noticed Extra's Desert Delights gum. Like I said I'm not a big fan of sweet flavored gums so I kind of ignored it at first. Then it was our turn to check out and I was out of time. Heaven forbid I just go without!

So I grabbed the Extra Desert Delights figuring I would try it and then give the rest of the pack to the kids.

As we walked out to the car I unwrapped the pack and took out a piece of Extra Desert Delights Key Lime Pie. The first thing I noticed is that it smelt extra yummy (no pun intended). I actually sniffed the pack and encouraged Brent to take a sniff.


He declined.

I still didn't have high hopes because I like the smell of bubble gum, but I don't like the taste. Then I tried my first piece. It was delicious and tasted just like key lime pie. I love key lime pie and most of the time when something is trying to taste like something it isn't it doesn't.:)

I love that I keep writing these complicated sentences.

My biggest mistake is that I left the gum sitting on my kitchen counter and I have kids who also enjoyed the gum. Now I need to find a hiding place that they won't think of and I won't forget. Or else I could just buy more. :)

Once again I find it is the small things in life that just make me smile. So go today and buy yourself a little stick of happiness. There are three dessert flavors. :)

This is not a paid review I just really (x10) enjoyed this gum. This is normally when my husband says, "You have issues!"

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. ...
