Mini-mite moniker

Each year the mini-mites have Mite Night - it is quite a big deal. The kids are able to skate out in the spotlight while they are announced over the PA. Very exciting.

So there has been much consternation in the Schmidt House over what little man should have for his introduction on the big night.

First there was "Broadway Joe" Schmidt.

Then we moved on to "Hurricane Joe" Schmidt.

Then we decided it should be Joe "Boom Boom" Schmidt (courtesy of papa Ed)

However, none of the names have been to little man's liking because he has his little heart set on a name his mother will under no circumstances allow for him to be announced as in his skating debut.

What is the name he cannot live without you ask?


None other than:

Joe "THE GRAVEDIGGER" Schmidt



Sigh.

Sadly, we have created our own monsters. (I think Kirk may be Joe's foil).

I might have to suggest the spotlight idea for our last Mighty-Mite practice next week (I can't believe that I'm actually bummed that the season is almost over. What's wrong with me? I need to get a life!)

What's wrong with Joe The Gravedigger? It's got a nice ring to it. I say let him, people will be rolling. Wish I were there :)

Well Carey we took your suggestion and he will be the Gravedigger.

Yeah, a Gravedigger is a real profession after all, right? Although, I hope that he isn't going to go that far. I too wish I was going to be there to witness this.

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

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
