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!

Pleased as punch

We got our new vacuum cleaner last night. The home office was kind enough to pick one up along with our PF Chang's takeout. Take out Chinese on Valentine's is a tradition. Anyhoo, as you can see from the photo we basically sucked up an entire Pomeranian in our upstairs family room. I don't know if I should be embarrassed or pleased. I mean we just vacuumed on Monday with the Hoover and I knew it wasn't picking up everything, but this is ridiculous. The home office was so impressed with the Animal he went downstairs and vacuumed up another canine in the family room down there. I am still trying to figure out all of the gadgets on the machine. I seriously cannot figure out how to attach the stair cleaner. It is really funky how the thing is put together, efficient, but funky. I also for the life of me cannot figure out the directions. I dislike how all European companies, Dyson (UK), IKEA (Sweden) just show you pictures. I always thought I was a visual person, but I am b...

Wild world

This past week or so has been a blur - We went to Iowa for a tournament - girls did fine - think that they got 3rd overall. Will meet up with the teams again when we go to Kansas in March. Got home from Des Moines @ 6pm Sunday, was at the airport by 8am Monday. Off to Kansas City for a training class, actually am really excited to be selected for this, it is "High Performing Managers" and there are only 15 people per class. I about choked the first day when they said that the company is making an investment in us - $15K each. I think that is more than I spent on my entire college education - wow. Got home Thursday @ 10:30pm went to work Friday, and then had a busy weekend. By Monday thought I was seriously having an aneurysm - ALL last week felt like someone was trying to put a stake through the back of my head and really couldn't focus at all. Think that the plane ride back to MN did me in. So went to Dr. who scheduled a MRI for yesterday a.m. Really kinda scared me to t...

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...
