Introducing Izzy

This morning my aunt called at 11:30 a.m. and started the conversation with, "I am about to do something really crazy." I answered with, "What are you going to buy now?" The answer was a Goldendoodle. So off we went the whole famn damily to Mankato to pick up Shirley's new addition. The entire task was completed by 3:30 p.m. Not bad if I say so myself.

She is just a doll and is named Isabelle or is it Isabella? Or is it Isaboo? Either way my aunt is going to call her Izzy. She was Sophie for about an hour, but after we got to know this feisty little girl Izzy seemed to fit. JG wanted to name her Fruit, but that suggestion did not garner any votes from the rest of the car to his disappointment.

So here she is.... little Izzy, the fifth (and hopefully final) dog in our motley crew. She joins Rudy Toot Toot, Mimi LaRue, Jack-Jack Attack and Justin (Timberlake).

Ok, I am confused a little. Your aunt wanted to buy a dog for her, but you ended up with one too? What am I missing here. Very cute dog, looks like she will be pretty big? I don't see the poodle in her yet though.

The dog is my aunt's dog, Dan would kill me if I came home with another furry child.

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...
