Martha Stewart? NOT!

I'm no Martha Stewart NOR am I Puna (for those of you who read Puna's blog you know that she cooks like a chef-- fresh veggies and all)... Nope, that ain't me.

So when it comes to Holiday cookies, I'm all about the break and bake!

Some of the girls only like chocolate chip cookies, so we made half and half and they each took a turn sprinkling them with green and red sprinkles!

Oops! Too much on that one, brush some off... see my mad baking skills?

And they turned out GREAT! OK, so they're not in the shape of trees or stars or snowmen (snow people). I'm guessing they still taste great!

Yep, the girls give me three thumbs up! I'm Mom of the day!

Let's hope Santa gets some homemade cookies at someone elses house, because this is all I got!

The Sweet, Fun, Cute Letter!

I got this letter from "K" who takes my spin class. Now, "K" didn't hand this to me, it was left at the front desk, so I didn't get to give "K" a proper thank you!

Inside my envelope was $15.00 cash and a cute letter that I put below...

"K" knows me so well... here is what "K" wrote....

Tiffiany,

I know it may not seem like much but look at all the things you can do with $15….

Buy one of those great Margarita’s from La Tolteca.

Salad and bread sticks (yummy) at Olive Garden.

1…. Maybe 2 pieces of Cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory (alittle piece of heaven)

Another fabulous bandana… can never had too many.

Lot’s of Hostess Cupcakes…Chocolate and Golden (I prefer golden!)

Download some new tunes for class. (I want to hear George Thorogood… One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer).

Buy your daughter a scarf or something… you know she loves to layer!

Or a few Corona Lites… always a safe bet!


Thanks for all you do. You make me want to come to the gym which is not my favorite place. You’re good at what you do… keep it up. Have a happy and safe 2009!

"K"-- you shall have your song on our next ride.... I can't wait!

spin idiots!

My T/TH class strikes again! Here are T and C getting ready for the 4pm spin class and they have on matching shirts.

Yep, I"m with the spin idiot (arrow)

I'm with the spin idiot! (arrow)

Yes, you can purchase these shirts-- email me and I'll tell you where to get them: Tiff@thespinchick.com

Now, I know you are wondering HOW you would know if you were a spin idiot-- well here's a list of ideas:

If you listen to music on the radio and you think "this would make a good spin song"

If someone in your office says the word "switch" and you stand up.

If you run down the alter at your wedding and you say "I'm sorry honey, but my spin class ran over".

If the story of you giving birth begins with "well, there was this spin class".

If you schedule work around spin classes

I'm sure you will think of more and I would love to hear them!

I knew it!

I received these cakes at the gym this morning... Yes, at the gym. One of my members gave them to me.. I just know that was caught on the surveillance cameras and I'm going to be on YouTube later... Hey-- it's job security-- eat the cupcakes come to my class!

I knew they came in chocolate, as I posted earlier they don't JUST come in golden-- I love the chocolate on chocolate... goes much better with RED wine!

And my father-- who said hostess NEVER made these in chocolate-- was the FIRST one to have his hand in the box!

Thank you so much! I love 'em!

Thank you R

I received this wonderful gift from "R" that attends my spinning classes.

Inside was a card, a blockbuster gift card, and a bag of microwave popcorn... How wonderfully thoughtful...

"R" knows me so well that the card has a picture of a young kid sitting on Santa's lap and the caption reads "define good". Ha Ha Ha, I love it! Thank you so much "R"-- I'm looking forward to many more spin classes to kick your butt!

Rainy Day at the Doctors

This is how my morning started. A dry, yucky cough, wheezing, whiny child not wanting to open her eyes. Now, she's 4-- she still loves school at this age. She's usually up and getting ready when I want to sleep just alittle longer. This morning she didn't want to get up, she said her throat hurt and she didn't want to go to school..... Hello doctor? I was able to get her in at 1015. Her doctor is in Prince Frederick and after circling the parking lot in the rain about 18 times, I assume so is everyone elses doctor in all of Calvert.

Here she is with the blue gloves on waiting for her throat culture... As I snapped this picture I was listening to the children in the next room sneezing and coughing and blowing their noses-- I started to think I should be wearing gloves too.

Here she is getting a throat culture to check for strep... Her stick is GRAPE flavored... I never had that when I was a kid... we had wood flavored sticks, right?

Well, after waiting around for an hour, her strep culture came back negative and she just has a yucky virus, so we decided to go to Panara for some nice hot soup....

Sure, I'll go!

I took a drive up to Dover New Jersey today. It's about a stones throw from New York City. It's a nice little town along the coast.

I went because I thought I would see several inches of snow along the way and I was looking forward to the sites.

Well, as you can see by my picture there was NO SNOW-- not one drop-- not even enough to make a tiny snow person! I did get a shot of this billboard on the NJ turnpike-- I thought you might enjoy this...

Yes, I had to pull off in order to get this shot-- see how I risk my life for you guys?!? New York and New Jersey drivers are CRAZY!

And the one good thing about traveling north is there is a rest area every 10-20 miles on the turnpike and they all sell CINNABONS! Yes, I know that it is located right next to a TCBY, but I mean really.... It's worth a few extra spin classes next week!

Yes, I ate the entire thing... it took me 3 hours, but I did it!
