Argh

I love that word - argh. Pretty much sums up how I am feeling right about now. Just realized that there are only FOUR days before Christmas Eve. Is it just me or did this sneaky Holiday come out of nowhere?
Just like when poor little Charlie Brown is trying to kick that football and Lucy Van Pelt pulls it away at the last minute. That's me. WHAM! It hits you. You are nowhere near ready for the "most wonderful time of the year". I am positive, whoever wrote that song was not a woman and a mother to boot.

By the way, when I was out searching the correct spelling of argh I found many interesting facts pertaining the word "ARGH" that I can honestly say I never realized. So as my gift to you this holiday - Lord knows I will never get around to purchasing something on this procrastinator's schedule, let alone wrap, mail etc. - here you go:

  • There are 9,080,000 results on Google for the word argh.
  • ARGH is an acronym for Augmented Reality Games on Handhelds. Some geeky oops "techie" thing that middle school kids can participate in.
  • Another techie thing Advanced Research in Graphics Hardware. The conference for members of ARGH must be one rip-roaring time. They must sit around and talk about Reordering for Cache Conscious Photon Mapping whatever that is and yell ARGH RULES.
  • There is an argH Gene Page for Acronym Resolving General Heuristics . Couldn't understand a darn word on the entire page. Must need to be Gregor Mendel to comprehend. They even had a book for $84.48 on Amazon. Would highly recommend as a stocking stuffer.
  • Argh for the most part on other pages are used for the same reason I used it. To express shock, anger, surprise or general exclamation. Sometimes sounds like a scream, yell or shout.

Have now just realized, if I wouldn't spend so much time blogging I would probably have everything done. Argh!

Argh is one of my favorite words too. I say that as I sit here addressing envelopes and looking up addresses that I never wrote down...somehow getting sidetracked by funny blogs.
Argh.

I like the bridget jones version, which is GAAAAAA!!! Carey--you never wrote down an address in your life, so I don't know who you think you're fooling. Susan--I would much rather have you writing blogs than purchasing gifts or getting organized...

Hiatus no more

I don't know what it is about January, but 'round about January 15th I go into a complete and utter funk - hence no blogging. It is as if I need to cocoon for a bit, metamorphosize, and re-enter the world in February. This year has been especially bad due to our chaotic schedules with the kids, plus I have been working almost 60 hours per week as it is budget time and we are determining what exactly does "hunkering down" look like. Don't worry, work is still fun, challenging might be a better word. I truly love my new job, actually it was a promotion - didn't officially know until this week, so that jump starts the old engine as well. Other than that I have also realized in the last week my body is really, really mad at me. Things are just not working as they should and finally made the decision to go see the doctor who helped with the torn ligament a few years ago. Bottom line, just haven't been taking care of myself and he cracked me around a bit so can ...

I am usually an open book...

however have made the decision to have The Schmidt House be invite only, you are the ones that I want to share our lives with - if there is someone that I have omitted by mistake, please let me know. Think that there are some family members that I do not have email addresses for, so will need to track those down. I have found that I have been a little blog "stuck" for the last few months knowing that there were a lot of people who read my site and I became a little self conscious about what I was writing as to not offend anyone - not like I go out of my way to offend, but after awhile you realize that there are some pretty sensitive folks out there. I know it takes all kinds for the world to go around, however I don't want to have to worry about it when I am here. So now I feel a little more free to speak my mind which you all know has never been a problem, but now I feel I am among friends. Thanks for sharing this little adventure with the Schmidts...

So today was one of those days when I was waiting for Dwight Schrute to walk in at any time and make popcorn

Yesterday was pretty blah at work considering everyone just got back from the holiday, there were the usual conversations, "So how was your Christmas?" blah, blah, blah. If yesterday was blah, then today was just odd. At one point I felt that I had entered an alternate universe and we had become Dunder Mifflin . You see, Thursday is popcorn day on the Garden Level. I guess the popcorn is there to help boost morale and raise a little ching for various charities. However, since today really felt like Tuesday, not Thursday, people just weren't in the mood for popcorn and the world went a little askew. It all started when someone complained that the popcorn smell was bothering them. I don't know why this day was different than any other Thursday, but today it bothered them. Maybe they were on the holiday hangover edge and it just tipped. So management was on the prowl for a new home for the popcorn machine. That is when I was approached and asked if it would be ok if t...
