I would like to be able to keep up with my daughter. The one who runs xc, not the one who's going to change the world through dance. Although I would like to be able to dance also, so I change that to me wanting to be able to keep up with both my daughters.
Personal:
I have two gorgeous daughters; two good-looking cats and two dogs with great personalities.
So, you guys are married and both blogging from separate parts of the world? What a sweet love story! That is awesome.
I just have one more thing to say: Gooo troops! You make us proud!

I'm pretty much just on here to pester Mike. With LOVE! :)
It would be his kind of love story if he came home to find me alone in the living room, that "come hither" look in my eyes, and a chess board all set up next to a platter of homemade brownies. Rawr!
Even Better! You are right, she is a keeper! I have never made brownies from scratch. My poor husband has to settle for the box brownies (and he is a huge brownie fan). I can, however, make cookies and cakes from scratch.
If you can bake that stuff from scratch then you can make brownies too. Rachel has some awesome recipes. You could top off a pan of brownies with your cake-decorating skillz!
You know it Mike- the winner of the "White Trash Tot's" award! it is sort of like a demolition derby. I swore I would never go to one, heck I thought I would never go to one, but we were dragged once and it was surprisingly entertaining. Red necks really know how to live it up! My husband and I have had out eyes opened up to all kinds of fun stuff we had never seen before, tots and jello inculded! Ok- his mother thought jello was a food group, but I had had it only about 5 times before I moved to Utah. ;)
When I was younger, my mother had to spend some time in the hospital. She happened to share a room with one of the lunch ladies at my school. The woman told my mom I was a liar. That I ate my jello and went back in line for more after saying it fell on floor. She said she could tell I was a fibber because I had the whipped cream all over my face. She gave me the jello anyway.
The thing is I was telling the truth. It did fall. I just got on my hands and knees and ate the whipped cream off the jello on the floor, because it was still on top of the jello and thusly clean and edible.
After all these years, I still feel the same about whipped cream.
Ha ha ha Oh my goodness! That is hilarious! I'm not a jello fan, but do like whipped cream. Not sure if I like it *that* much.
Jello seems to be a food group in Utah and to the ladies at church. It seems like any time there is a sign up to bring a salad, I'm the only one that doesn't bring jello salad.
I just want to know WHO thinks jello is a salad? One time I told a lady that I had hardly ever had jello growing up. She looked so concerned and asked, "Well how did you get your fruit?" I was stunned. I said, "I dunno, we just ate FRUIT!!!"
I am with you Mike- I'd eat whipping cream off of the floor too! We joke in our family that if it is a sweet food, whipping cream will just make it better. If it is a salty food, bacon can only add to the enjoyment. Rules to live by!
Costco carries the Land 'o lakes heavy whipping cream in the spray cans. HEAVEN!!! BAD BAD BAD!!! I was never a big fan of the spray stuff until the Land 'O Lakes HEAVY stuff came out! I need to move on or I will be making a special trip to Costco! $400, 400# and 400 more miles I'll need to run! Run, Marion, Run!!!
I can't eat jello with anything suspended in it. It just doesn't look right to me. Yay you and your non-jiggly salad!
Marion,
I'm going try topping some bacon with whipped cream. Or maybe wrapping some bacon around whipped cream. How about hollowing out a brick of bacon and filling it with whipped cream, like a meat twinkie? Culinary possibilities abound.
Maybe Rachel won't mind sharing her bacon story?
Kelli,
They make all kinds of padded shorts for cyclists, from the form fitting kind to cargo shorts. I want a pair to match my padded bra.
I think spiked shorts would get me arrested here. Or a date.
