Shelly and Susan's 29,382 cents

I have been wanting to add a Schmidt House tangent for quite some time now. Karen and Bobbi have inspired me with their offshoots of creativity and the time has come.

So here's the question: What more is there to write about? I already feel that I could go on forever with the more than enough fodder generated right here in my own home. But, does anyone really want to read more about some of the hair brained ideas I've tried that ended in disaster, or how AE is 9 going on 29 or that JG is driving me insane with his wwhhiinniinngg? Really, more Schmidt drivel?

Then it came to me...I catch myself many times during the day thinking like many of you: I should share this experience with someone. Example: a good book, movie, music, restaurant, shop, new product, new dish etc. I searched around the web and found some good examples of other women sharing their two cents on the most mundane things and decided sharing my two cents it would be.

I find myself telling many of my recommendations to one of my best friends Shelly and she in turn does the same. We have the best time going on and on about one thing or another. Lord knows neither of us is ever at a loss for an opinion. I am sure both of our husbands would concur wholeheartedly.

I called Shel and threw out the idea to her and she loved it, she only had one caveat - she is able to swear in her reviews - I agreed because all of you who know Shel, it's just who she is and you know exactly where you stand with her, so why filter?

So my friends, there it is. We (Shel and I) are going to start a tangent giving our two cents on whatever we feel like. Please feel free to let us know if you would like to add anything to the site.

Now we just maybe need to come up with a catchier name - I think I might leave that to Shel, isn't that what she makes the big bucks for? Well, here we go...

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...
