Oreos



My Grandma Arlene was a great baker and cook. She introduced our family to a homemade oreo cookie recipe years ago that EVERYONE loves. Claire and I decided to make some for her Daddy and his friends at training (over 3 dozen). We will ship them off tomorrow, hopefully in time for him to receive them when he returns from his week long camping expedition. I know he will appreciate the little taste of home. Claire had to try her first Oreo too. She liked them, continually saying "mmmmm." I am giving the rest to some friends at school.

ok, so I really miss you (and some girlie company) and didn't know if you and Claire might be up for some company. I would be willing to come to you (or if you wanted to do some shopping up here that would be great too). Just let me know because we are not hosting a Christmas Party this year (too few weekends in December) and too much time has gone by already since we have seen you.

Sorry Dan. I would be outcasted from my family if I shared the secret recipe. Thanks for your offers of help. Things are going very well, though. I am successfully independent and luckily, Claire comes along for the ride like a trooper. Hope all is well with you.

Erin,
I have a spa day with friends on Saturday and Claire and I have a Gingerbread House Party the following weekend. We honestly, generally have no life, but my friends are making us busy! We could do the weekend of the 20th. Just let me know if it works for you!

A post

You wanted it, you asked for it, so here it is. A post. Hopefully this post will satisfy all your desires. I am not writing about the apple of my eye, Claire, but of the other apple of my eye--reality tv. I love it! Right now I am getting my fill of Big Brother. I have even lured Chris into my dark place. He mostly watched last season because Dick was such a jerk, but Chris is hooked. He's a dedicated viewer once again this season. Sadly, he was a fan of Matty who was kicked off a few weeks ago. I don't think I have a favorite. I find them all to be so obnoxious, yet I watch. Go figure. I obviously need some more excitement in my life. Girls who wear butt showing shorts, screaming matches, verbal abuse, crazy eyes, back stabbing, boys running around in their colored tighty whiteys (if tighty whiteys are colored, are they still called tighty whiteys?)---all in one episode! It is a gold mine. My second can't miss show is Housewives of Orange County or New York City. I really ...

0.0

Yes, indeeedy do. 0.0 is exactly the amount of weight I lost this week. Irritating! Here's the breakdown: number of times I cheated on my diet--ZERO! number of times I worked out--FIVE!! (running, no less). Now that is a mean, mean slap in the face. After I picked myself off the floor and resisted the urge to throw the scale through my window, I've come to realize that it is time to call in the big guns. There will be no messing around. Through a very valuable (HA!--sense the sarcasm) inservice this year, I've learned that I am "Green," meaning logical, research based, problem solver, mathmatical thinker. I am applying the same thought and strategy to my 'get fit' adventure. There will be no relying on the treadmill to tell me how much I've burned. That thing lies, LIES, LIES!! Take for example, the fact that each time I worked out, I burned at least 300 calories--most often 350, my pulse was around 87 (which is pretty much a near death resting ...

2 weeks...

As I write this, my house is being cleaned and not by me. This is my favorite day of the week. There is nothing like going home to a clean house and smelling the bleach to know it is germ free as well. This is my second good day in a row! I took the day off yesterday. Claire didn't have school due to Fasching (German equivalent of Halloween--minus the door to door trick or treating), so I gave Mya the option of hanging out with us as well. She took some convincing, but later said she had a great day. I must admit that I was focused on giving my back a much needed break, so my morning consisted of napping and laying on the couch. Not my best parenting in action, but it did wonders for the rest of the day. We met Chris for lunch, then returned home to enjoy the sunshine before the girls' swimming lessons. It was in the 50's yesterday, absolutely gorgeous! It really is hard to believe that we made it through the entire winter with no snow. I think it snowed possibly 2 days, b...
