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.

Gainfully employed

I heard back last night from Cargill , I start back into the world of the gainfully employed as an independent contractor on October 8 th . My old client, who will now be my new client, Jeff wrote: I'm thrilled we get to work together again. This is the most important project our business unit has taken on in a lot of years so I feel a lot better knowing you're going to be part of it. OK now I'm nervous. Eeek - the most important project? Whoa, better bring the A game, but you know I am excited - scared - but am ready to go. I have so much to do before the 8 th , gotta get the list together to make the most of my kid free week (now that litte man is at daycare in the a.m.). Let's see: 1) Paint basement. 2) Purge house of clutter - how can we accumulate this much crap? 3) Goodwill and library drop off - Maple Grove Library is taking donations until Oct. 6 th !!! 4) Get the yard ready for winter - should I plant more bulbs? 5) Put basement back together - IKEA run ma

Z is like for Zodiac

Shelly and I went to the movie Zodiac last night. The theater was nearly packed with mostly men and couples, so it was a bit obvious when two teenage girls talking on cell phones walked into the movie 20 minutes late. Shelly turned to me, "Why would you even come to a movie like this if you are 20 minutes late?" I agreed especially since they had already missed the first victims meeting their demise and the opening which told the viewer this was a true story. You just had to know they were going to be lost the rest of the movie, plus the only reason they were probably there was to see Jake Gyllenhaal . The movie was very good, one of the best I have seen since The Departed , I read the book and the prime suspect was much creepier on the screen than I imagined in real life. At the end of the movie, Shelly stopped by the ladies room and I waited outside. The two teenage girls we saw walk in late also went to the ladies room with cell phones glued to their ears already. At our
