New music, that's really old music, but I can explain why I felt the need to share

The other night at dinner my friend Sue mentioned that she likes the music I add to the Schmidt blog - she especially liked the litte tune by Peter, Bjorn and John awhile back.

So... I had this elaborate plan that I was going to do something like a little New Music Monday. But as you know, Monday has come and gone and it is now Thursday and I really don't think New Music Thursday has the same je ne sais quoi as New Music Monday. Maybe I just like "New Music Monday", because it reminds me of "New Moon on Monday" - vintage Duran Duran - 'nother story, 'nother day.

Then I got to thinking - it is cold, too blasted cold and where would I rather be than where I am freezing my tookis off?

The answer came to me: somewhere warm on a beach, with my book, little foo foo drink and just hanging out listening to the "Just relax will ya?" playlist on the iPod when I couldn't get this little song out of my head because it is Track 1 on the playlist - quite rightly I might add.

It is a fun little song, which I am sure many of you know, but it is one of my favorite bands, Weezer. But I don't even know if they are officially still together, which makes me sad, so now this has evolved to:

"I don't know if they are still together, but this song makes me think of sandy beaches music Thursday"

Enjoy. I will get on the New Music Monday gig if you guys are interested in my quirky music, let me know.

Good song! That is one my favorite songs from them too. I hope they come back. I am all for New music whenever day!

This post is classic Susan. I love it! It reminds me of you cooking in the Firehouse, talking a hundred miles an hour, with the rest of us salivating and laughing our butts off.

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...

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...

Tightrope walking on a string

This has been one of "those" weeks where I often find myself scared to slow down and assess the situation because when I do I start to get this really tight feeling in my chest and I feel nauseous. Does anyone else get that? When life is going mach 10 with your hair on fire...and if you stop you just might fall right over from that string you are balancing everything on... I am going to bed.
