I am so not ready for this

Yesterday morning during the Schmidt family get ready for school routine, AE went into my bathroom and locked the door. I figured I would give her privacy even though I really needed to get into the shower, I also couldn't figure out why she would be using my bathroom when hers is completely set up for her every need.

After about five minutes she walked out, there was no flushing, water running - nothing.

I asked her, "What's going on. Are you o.k.?"

"Yeah, I'm o.k." she turned her head and walked past me down the hall.

I went downstairs to make her some eggs, while sitting down to eat I looked over and saw Tammy Faye Bakker (during her PTL heyday) sitting next to me, where my little girl used to sit.

AE decided September 19, 2007 was to be the day she tried out mom's makeup and let's just say the mascara application did not go as planned and was nowhere near to getting under mom's radar. AE already has long eyelashes you can't miss, however the mascara made her look like a doe in headlights.

We did some quick makeup removal and my little girl got on the bus looking like the 9 year old that she is.

You know, this isn't AE's first foray into the world of makeup, in fact this time was a lot more low key.

When AE was in kindergarten she was over at a friends house after school when AE, her friend and the friend's older sister decided to sample our neighbor's makeup. The girls dabbled in blush, eyeshadow and lipstick - really did it up good.

At the end of the fun they tried to remove the makeup and it wouldn't come off, so in a moment of panic the eldest sister dialed 911 because to her this was an emergency. The police came to the house and our neighbor found out about the beauty course going on in her bathroom when the police came to the door. AE learned her lesson about makeup and we hadn't touched the stuff until yesterday.

I guess I can be thankful for a few things, 1) she didn't call the police because she thought she looked really good, 2) I don't own any of the sky/peacock blue, purple orchid, pink sunrise eyeshadow of my youth that I tried out in Junior High.

I wonder, do they still sell those?

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.

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
