How did we get to Saturday already?

OK I pretty much didn't get anything done that I wanted to get done.

I did however:
  • find a pair of brown shoes (it seems easier than it really is)
  • try unsuccessfully to get out of Turkey Bingo
  • split tennis matches
  • get stuff together for Goodwill - haven't made it there yet - must get done because it is rolling around the back of the family truckster
  • cook two Costco stew dinners
  • wash the same load of laundry three times thanks to something red in the mix
  • decorate for Halloween
  • decorate the laundry room - yes I think it is time to go back to work if I am putting foliage in the place where I sort dirty socks, however it makes me happy, the foliage that is not the socks
  • help 9 year old girls learn an inbound play for basketball
  • watch same 9 year old girls run the inbound play successfully - 50% of the time
  • read two books - neither of which are the book club book I need to read before next Thursday
  • organize Schmidt family calendar on Google so we will hopefully know where we are supposed to be
  • had pancakes with Gigi and Mom
  • drove all over creation in search of racoon and polar bear Webkinz
  • started a diet - the year of gluttony must come to an end - can't continue to use excuse of bad wheel - wheel is fine - workout and eating habits are not
  • realize the kids only have school the next 7 out of 10 days - now that mom is not at home must find somewhere for kiddies to go
  • start to get nervous about work on Monday.

Isn't amazing how we can find so many things to fill up our time! I need a nap just reading that one. You are going to be great Monday! First days are weird no matter what, but you will be in the thick of things soon enough. I hope you have a great day.

50 is the new 40

There is hope - I realized today that Madonna is going to be 50 in like 3 months - crazy. 50. Have you seen her lately? She looks amazing and is proof that 50 is the new 40 or in her case 35. Here is her most recent song w/Justin Timberlake, 4 Minutes. Not gonna win a Grammy, but makes me want to start doing yoga, I would give anything for arms like that.

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
