South of the border

We Schmidts are off to Mexico. It has been a crazy, crazy week running amok, amok, amok (that's for you Nik). I think we are set, my foot is doing amazing! I am not even taking das boot along, but instead opting for not so trendy New Balances with full orthotics and Crocs - this getting old is not for the faint of heart.

We have convinced JG he does not need to bring his brass, multi-colored glass turtle nightlight which weighs a bloody ton. AE has also decided to leave the rock collection at home, thank goodness. JG also informed us we needed to leave on Sunday rather than Saturday because there is a SpongeBob marathon Saturday on Nickelodeon followed by an ALL NEW SPONGEBOB EPISODE (yes, he really does yell the whole thing). Managed to change his departure plans back to Saturday thanks to the magic of technology and have set the DVR so we should be ok.

Wanted to apologize to my blog friends, I have kept up this week bit by bit, but have been a bad blog friend by not commenting, I think the thought, but haven't been able to get it into comments yet. Sigh.

So here are a few replys:

Karen - so glad you are loving Joe. I really, really liked the book. Am bringing the Atrocious Lies along with many other hopeful reads so should have recommendations when I am back. So happy your family (oh, and the quilt) are whole again.

Carey - We need to get your little man and my little man together. They are so alike. I loved his blog, or brog as JG says it. Also, we will be able to go shopping very soon here in Mpls and we can go a SSSLLLLOOOOWWW as we want. DLS stinks at shopping too.

Bobbi - I can pick up the cute puppy for you when I get back and bring it on over. Isn't she just the sweetest thing? RAGOM actually has some dogs in SD as well, so if you are interested look and see where the pup-pups are boarded. :-) Oh, I also listened to Al Green yesterday on the iPod and thought of you. Thanks for that pick me up.

K - love the bookmarks you need to teach me how to do those for my book club.

DeAnn - Good luck on the car shopping, can't wait to hear what you pick out.

Luci - Will forward many books to you upon my return either that or you can stop on over if you are in the area visiting Vern and Lois. My mom will be here with Mimi and would love to see you and the boys. If you call ahead I bet she will even make you Krispy treats.

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...

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...

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...
