Ha - told ya so

I have been writing this little daily journal of our goings on for about eight months now and I can honestly tell you it is one of the most therapeutic things I have done in a long time. I mean there are items I choose not to share, I write about them, get it all out and then delete the post, but for the most part we Schmidts - the good, the bad and the ugly are here in print.

I have been trying to get my sister to read the blog because there are many things that only she can relate to, we really have this sick, twisted sense of humor, but she really hasn't taken much interest in our little Schmidt House blogging world until now.

Amy has gone to the dark side and started her own blog... Presley Press (link to the left).

The best part is in her first post she finally admitted I was right - which I knew all along, but I now have it in writing.

Ha.

i find my friends either "get" blogs, or they don't ... funnily enough, it's the stay at home friends that really love it, i cannot get any full time professional women to care tho :)

ah well. glad you got your sister onto the fun, and glad you got to say i told you so :)

I dragged my feet for awhile, too. I was sure this would distance me rather than make me closer to people. Boy was I wrong! I had absolutely no idea how therapeutic it would be, and I've no doubt that Amy will be happily riding our bandwagon in no time.

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...
