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.

Six weeks

I am sidelined for at least six weeks. No tennis - no good. My bad wheel turned into immobile wheel today thanks to an air cast. Not the most attractive accessory. I had been trying to continue playing with the plantar fasciitis guess I figured it was going to be around for awhile so might as well deal with it. This plan actually worked out for the best because when I was playing on Thursday there was this loud pop in the bottom of my foot. Suddenly my heel felt better, so I thought, "Maybe it released all of the bad heel juju into the rest of my foot." Well, it was something like that. Evidently I tore a ligament in my foot which the doctor told me is really the best thing that could have happened. The reason why is it cured the plantar fasciitis. Plus the recovery time for the ligament thing is about six weeks versus potentially months or years with the other. So all in all I guess it was a good thing to tear a ligament. I am bummed because I can't do any exercise for t...

Have you met my friend Jane?

I am a complete Jane Austen junkie, in fact I think that I need to maybe seek help. Shelly tells me I need help and we all know Shel tells it like it is, so it must be true. "Hello, my name is Susan and I love Jane. Jane Austen." I read "Pride and Prejudice", annually. Yes, every year I spend a weekend with Elizabeth Bennett and Fitzwilliam Darcy. Now that I think about it I may need to skip my little tradition this year because I have so many other never read books piled up and there is a due date looming from the library. The reason I share this closeted truth with you my friends is because there is a TV event starting this weekend on PBS. It is basically the 10 weeks of Jane, every Sunday night PBS will air a adaptation of Jane Austen's novels. Here is the schedule. So, if you have never had the opportunity to get to know Jane, maybe it is time. Think about it, there is no new TV, it's cold out and you can learn new some new sayings for Monday. Nothing ...
