Snowmen can stay on display all winter, right?

After all of my complaining and bah humbuging about the Holidays I thought I would put in few photos of the finished product. To all the girlfriends from college - you will more than likely be able to see in person at the next girls weekend in the spring if we are in Mpls, because it will probably still be up.

Today it snowed, just a little bit, so I am feeling more festive. So I am going to put on a little Holiday music and embarrass my children in front of the neighbor's kids. As Harry Connick Jr. sings, "Happy Ho-Ho-Ho to you!"

The family room, if you look real close little man insisted that his stuffed turtle Speedy be in the photo. Actually had a fleeting thought that I should purchase more Snow Village houses to create a real village. The urge has passed after I realized this would require more planning and decorating for next year, luckily I lost out on my bids on E-bay.

Snowmen. I never realized how many snowmen things I have accumulated. I was going to take the little tree down and decorate it with only snowmen ornaments, but decided that everything looked peaceful and I shouldn't disturb. Will have to add that to the list for next year after I get my head checked as to why I have the need to decorate tree with only snowman ornaments.

Don't know how I am going to get the large snowmen window down from twenty feet up. If anyone has suggestions let me know. I know that DLS has a few ideas... however this would potentially eliminate snowmen window from Holiday decorating FOREVER.

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...

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...

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...
