If another person asks me if I am done Xmas shopping...

I am going to scream. I have to scream because if I don't I will cry. 

The answer is: NO

Can't remember the last time I was this discombobulated. 

Oh, and I need to go to Houston two days next week. Might be able to pick up some stocking stuffers at the airport.

How does this time of year sneak up on us?! Don't fret...hit the gift shop in Houston and see what happens. I understand your chaos if it helps at all!!

By the way, discombobulated is one of my favorite words :))

I hear you, sister! For the life of me, I cannot get my act together this year. I'm so stinking busy writing Surviving Christmas columns that I'm never going to get my own crap done.

Can I send a list for your airport shopping???

Susan, YOU ARE NOT ALONE!! I have decided to go the online route and skip the malls this year. Now I just need to decide what to get everyone...

See you Saturday!

I just made E give me a hug because I was so frustrated with my first attempt at shopping this year...I can name a thousand things that I want, but no one else is throwing me a bone...
What do YOU want? (I'm curious on if that Kindle's going to show up in your stocking).

Glad to hear I am not alone. I was feeling really unproductive - thinking that the online thing is the way to go, that and the airport.

Karen - let me know how many Houston snow globes you need.

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 ...

Hiatus no more

I don't know what it is about January, but 'round about January 15th I go into a complete and utter funk - hence no blogging. It is as if I need to cocoon for a bit, metamorphosize, and re-enter the world in February. This year has been especially bad due to our chaotic schedules with the kids, plus I have been working almost 60 hours per week as it is budget time and we are determining what exactly does "hunkering down" look like. Don't worry, work is still fun, challenging might be a better word. I truly love my new job, actually it was a promotion - didn't officially know until this week, so that jump starts the old engine as well. Other than that I have also realized in the last week my body is really, really mad at me. Things are just not working as they should and finally made the decision to go see the doctor who helped with the torn ligament a few years ago. Bottom line, just haven't been taking care of myself and he cracked me around a bit so can ...

I am usually an open book...

however have made the decision to have The Schmidt House be invite only, you are the ones that I want to share our lives with - if there is someone that I have omitted by mistake, please let me know. Think that there are some family members that I do not have email addresses for, so will need to track those down. I have found that I have been a little blog "stuck" for the last few months knowing that there were a lot of people who read my site and I became a little self conscious about what I was writing as to not offend anyone - not like I go out of my way to offend, but after awhile you realize that there are some pretty sensitive folks out there. I know it takes all kinds for the world to go around, however I don't want to have to worry about it when I am here. So now I feel a little more free to speak my mind which you all know has never been a problem, but now I feel I am among friends. Thanks for sharing this little adventure with the Schmidts...
