Oh, I wish I could tell

We Schmidts took the boat out for the first time. Let's just say things didn't go quite as planned and when we got into the truck to go home the first thing out of DLS was, "None of this goes in the blog."

All I can say is nothing went quite as bad as these boating debacles by Bill Dance.

Oh, yeah. Putting the boat in and taking the boat out. Those make for some great stories. I left the entire campground smoking from our truck tires one afternoon...

just tell me this: was their smoke?

That was so funny. My husband works for the DNR in fisheries. He sends me stuff like this all the time. I am going to send this to him. I wish I had some of his stuff on video over the years!! K~

Carey - There was no smoke or fire involved thank God. You know it is a surprise there was no fire given DLS' track record.

K - one of my good friend's husband works for the DNR as well out of Eagan. Wonder if your husband knows him? His name is Jason Peterson, we see him on TV all of the time when there is a spot about the DNR. Funny.

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.
