How did we get to Saturday already?

OK I pretty much didn't get anything done that I wanted to get done.

I did however:

find a pair of brown shoes (it seems easier than it really is)
try unsuccessfully to get out of Turkey Bingo
split tennis matches
get stuff together for Goodwill - haven't made it there yet - must get done because it is rolling around the back of the family truckster
cook two Costco stew dinners
wash the same load of laundry three times thanks to something red in the mix
decorate for Halloween
decorate the laundry room - yes I think it is time to go back to work if I am putting foliage in the place where I sort dirty socks, however it makes me happy, the foliage that is not the socks
help 9 year old girls learn an inbound play for basketball
watch same 9 year old girls run the inbound play successfully - 50% of the time
read two books - neither of which are the book club book I need to read before next Thursday
organize Schmidt family calendar on Google so we will hopefully know where we are supposed to be
had pancakes with Gigi and Mom
drove all over creation in search of racoon and polar bear Webkinz
started a diet - the year of gluttony must come to an end - can't continue to use excuse of bad wheel - wheel is fine - workout and eating habits are not
realize the kids only have school the next 7 out of 10 days - now that mom is not at home must find somewhere for kiddies to go
start to get nervous about work on Monday.

Isn't amazing how we can find so many things to fill up our time! I need a nap just reading that one. You are going to be great Monday! First days are weird no matter what, but you will be in the thick of things soon enough. I hope you have a great day.

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 ...
