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.

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...
