I’ve always wanted to have a home treadmills, but just don’t have the extra space right now. I visit the gym 3 times a week at the least and the treadmill is one of my favorite machines to use. Even in the summer, a treadmill is the most comfortable form of exercise for me. The low impact on joints is important to me and you just can’t get that comfort running on pavement. Having a home treadmill would be especially nice in the winter because I wouldn’t have to drag the kids out into the cold and could exercise at home during naptime instead. If you’re in the market for a home treadmill, consider treadmillsguru.com for their fantastic guide and research on treadmills.

This is my new favoritest recipe– found on Allrecipes.com. If you love cakey, fluffy cookies… love chocolate… love pumpkin… you are going to LOVE these! They are unbelievable. I added a couple of drops of red food coloring so the cookies kept the orange color after bakings. I had to adjust the baking time/temp a little because my oven is really wonky.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup canned pumpkin
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1 egg
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon milk
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions:

1. Combine pumpkin, sugar, vegetable oil, and egg. In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Dissolve the baking soda with the milk and stir in. Add flour mixture to pumpkin mixture and mix well.
2. Add vanilla, chocolate chips and nuts.
3. Drop by spoonful on greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for approximately 10 minutes or until lightly brown and firm.

Yummmm! Let me know if you try these!

I’m doing some paid posts because, well, Christmas is on the way again. And did I tell you the good news? The good (cough) news is that my sweet husband is about to be out of work. THANKS very MUCH to THE horrible ECONOMY! I guess not even the rich folks are buying homes because the fancy development Jeremy has been supervising the construction on isn’t selling units. So, that means that once they’re done with the punch work for the homes they have built, there isn’t going to be any new homes going in like they planned for a year ago when Jeremy took the job. Helllllo! What are we going to do? Good question. Since no one wants to renovate or build anything, Jeremy’s trade just isn’t in demand anymore.

Life throws us some curve balls, doesn’t it? All I care about is meeting our mortgage payment. I can let cell phones and internet go if we had to. Since we bought this home frugally, I think we’ll be able to keep chopping away at this 30 (28) year mortgage. Screw foreclosures. There’s too much love, time, and money in this house to lose it to a recession.

As long as someone is in need of eggs, sperm, or even a kidney… We’re going to be alright.

Up for auction is one healthy kidney…  I forgot I don’t produce eggs anymore, so that’s not an option.

I’m going to write some reviews so that my kiddos have a nice Christmas. The rest is going to come together for all of us. It’s going to get better. Obama is already working on it and he’s not even in the White House yet.
