Sitting Here!

I have been sitting in this chair since one this afternoon.

Okay, well I did get up and run a kid there and another one there and then back to get them again.

But!! Other than that I have been here ALL DAY!!


With my nose buried in a book, my fingers typing away, and my head processing information.

School is hard...and there is lots to accomplish and time keeps speeding up.

I swear what was 24 hours a year ago is more like 22 now.

I don't know how that happened but it has happened.  Do you know how it happened?

So I'm still sitting here in this chair. Except for now I'm stepping away from the book. The book that talks about Onomatopoeias, Similes, Metaphors, Alliteration, and Personification, also the structures of an atom and did you know....

Never mind I don't even think I want to know..

Tomorrow is the last night of one more class and my graduation date is now officially under a year. WOO HOO BABY!

All I have to do is survive less than 10 classes a few nasty tests and student teaching. Peace of cake, right?

Speaking of tests do you know how expensive those buggers are? It is kind of amazing how much one has to pay in order to get a job teaching.

HOWEVER!

I will take a break from my complaining to point out that I have an AMAZING Husband.

Why?

Well after paying TODAY for one of those EXPENSIVE tests and then proceeding to have a minor melt down my Husband said the most awesome thing... Well at least it was awesome in the fact that it diffused my panic attack and put life into perspective. Sometimes I really like that guy I married. He is good for me.

But don't tell him I told you.

Okay, I have more studying to do but I wanted to say HI!

HI!!

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
