PW

I went out to dinner the other evening with some of my best girlfriends. These five women and I started work together many ages ago and have joked for years we are one another's part-time friends because when we first met we all had lives outside of work.

Somewhere along the way we really became full-time friends since half of us stay home and the rest (minus one) no longer work at the company where we started our "professional careers". They are frequent readers of the Schmidt blog (even though they don't comment but in person) they were kidding I never blog about them, so here you go girls a corny poem just for you!

Ode To My Part-Time Friends
Oh, so many years ago,
When friends we first became.
Our hairstyles, we've had many,
But we are still the same.

Nik is still the one who tells you like it is,
Sue remains so sweet - a mother now of twins.
Susie is a two boy mom working downtown in a tower,
Amy's still a size zero and teaches little P hockey girl power.
Candra should be sainted for staying on the corporate path,
and I am writing a little blog just hoping to make you laugh.

Nearly fifteen years have passed,

in our friendship tried and true.
For thirty, forty, fifty more years,

I hope to be part-time friends with you.

Hooray for PIGGLY WIGGLIES! There is nothing better than women with whom you can discuss ANYTHING while laughing your butt off and not having to worry about anyone passing judgement. Truly priceless friendships for me!

When's the next Happy Hour?

Sincerely,

Dear Lucifer,
Thank you for your anonymous blog. I can no longer give you grief about not putting in your two cents.
Warm regards (no pun intended).

Happy Sunday!

Six weeks

I am sidelined for at least six weeks. No tennis - no good. My bad wheel turned into immobile wheel today thanks to an air cast. Not the most attractive accessory. I had been trying to continue playing with the plantar fasciitis guess I figured it was going to be around for awhile so might as well deal with it. This plan actually worked out for the best because when I was playing on Thursday there was this loud pop in the bottom of my foot. Suddenly my heel felt better, so I thought, "Maybe it released all of the bad heel juju into the rest of my foot." Well, it was something like that. Evidently I tore a ligament in my foot which the doctor told me is really the best thing that could have happened. The reason why is it cured the plantar fasciitis. Plus the recovery time for the ligament thing is about six weeks versus potentially months or years with the other. So all in all I guess it was a good thing to tear a ligament. I am bummed because I can't do any exercise for t...

On his blog he will have Game Cube tips, Game Boy complaints, Pokemon stuff and updates on play dates with his friends. He also will have a special section for Speedy to tell how much he loves JG.

Have you met my friend Jane?

I am a complete Jane Austen junkie, in fact I think that I need to maybe seek help. Shelly tells me I need help and we all know Shel tells it like it is, so it must be true. "Hello, my name is Susan and I love Jane. Jane Austen." I read "Pride and Prejudice", annually. Yes, every year I spend a weekend with Elizabeth Bennett and Fitzwilliam Darcy. Now that I think about it I may need to skip my little tradition this year because I have so many other never read books piled up and there is a due date looming from the library. The reason I share this closeted truth with you my friends is because there is a TV event starting this weekend on PBS. It is basically the 10 weeks of Jane, every Sunday night PBS will air a adaptation of Jane Austen's novels. Here is the schedule. So, if you have never had the opportunity to get to know Jane, maybe it is time. Think about it, there is no new TV, it's cold out and you can learn new some new sayings for Monday. Nothing ...
