Messing with Me

Today is December 17th?

How in the world is it DECEMBER 17th?!

Someone must be messing with my calendars because there is no way it is December 17th.

What? No one is messing with me?

It is actually December 17th! Well then that means I'm running behind. WAY behind. Look at my to do list.

Hey, wait a minute all of that stuff is done. Today was the last day of school/work. I'm done! birthday treats check, school gifts check, and all of the above check. Believe me I have the hour and half of video to prove it.

Want to watch?

So with all that stuff done that means I get to kick back and relax.

Except! There is only 8 days left until Christmas. Two days until number one's 14th Birthday (Holy COW!) 3 days until number two's 12th Birthday (Freak!) and 11 days until number four's 8th Birthday (Sob!) and 14 days until number four's baptism (sob, sob, sob).

So really the things on the to do list left to do is longer than what has been done. MAN!!! Are you sure it is the 17th?

Fine! I believe you.

I guess I should give you warning that this coming week I have decided to break the rules and post all about my wonderful life. Okay, not so much my wonderful life but the wonderful kids I have been so blessed to raise. So if your not into the whole gushing, my kids are the best in the whole wide world, thing you might not want to read my blog.

However, I don't brag to much or at least I try not to and this coming week as part of our birthday celebrating I have decided to brag, brag, brag. Because no matter how stressed that I am that it is already December 17th!! they make all the stress totally worth it.

Happy Holidays

I brag and I complain because I blog for me. I don't care who else reads it.

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
