Cell phone cautionary tale

I had a really good laugh last night at the hockey game, a friend told me about this little move she did. It is totally something that I might do, so it was good to hear it could happen to someone else.

She was at a hockey tournament yesterday when her cell phone rang. She answered it and couldn't hear because of the game, so she went up to the lobby area.

Well, the lobby wasn't much better, so she decided to go into the bathroom where it would be quieter. She was really into the conversation and paced around the bathroom talking to her friend when she was interrupted.

A guy stopped and said, "Lady, you're in the wrong bathroom."

Whoops.

Ha! That is awesome! I bet her face was several shades of red.

I love it! Flying out of RC on the 15th of last month, I did a twist on that move. I raced into a stall, fairly desperate to go and noticed that the feet in the adjacent stall were really big. Then I heard a newspaper rattle. Then I noticed urinals on my way out. Then I smiled sheepishly at the dude staring at me in the mirror as he washed his hands. Then he sat in front of me on the flight to Denver. Then he sat across the aisle on the flight to Birmingham...

Hey--been thinking of you a lot. I rented the first disk of The Office season three...make my dad watch it with me last night. He was even less impressed than the hubby, but that did not stop me from laughing my butt off!

That's like the time my kids raced ahead of me and got into our van at Home Depot. It wasn't until after I actually put three paint cans in the back hatch that I realized that the owner of the van (exact model - but obviously now ours) was in the front seat on her cell phone!! ... I still crack up thinking about that one.

This past week or so has been a blur - We went to Iowa for a tournament - girls did fine - think that they got 3rd overall. Will meet up with the teams again when we go to Kansas in March. Got home from Des Moines @ 6pm Sunday, was at the airport by 8am Monday. Off to Kansas City for a training class, actually am really excited to be selected for this, it is "High Performing Managers" and there are only 15 people per class. I about choked the first day when they said that the company is making an investment in us - $15K each. I think that is more than I spent on my entire college education - wow. Got home Thursday @ 10:30pm went to work Friday, and then had a busy weekend. By Monday thought I was seriously having an aneurysm - ALL last week felt like someone was trying to put a stake through the back of my head and really couldn't focus at all. Think that the plane ride back to MN did me in. So went to Dr. who scheduled a MRI for yesterday a.m. Really kinda scared me to t...

Pleased as punch

We got our new vacuum cleaner last night. The home office was kind enough to pick one up along with our PF Chang's takeout. Take out Chinese on Valentine's is a tradition. Anyhoo, as you can see from the photo we basically sucked up an entire Pomeranian in our upstairs family room. I don't know if I should be embarrassed or pleased. I mean we just vacuumed on Monday with the Hoover and I knew it wasn't picking up everything, but this is ridiculous. The home office was so impressed with the Animal he went downstairs and vacuumed up another canine in the family room down there. I am still trying to figure out all of the gadgets on the machine. I seriously cannot figure out how to attach the stair cleaner. It is really funky how the thing is put together, efficient, but funky. I also for the life of me cannot figure out the directions. I dislike how all European companies, Dyson (UK), IKEA (Sweden) just show you pictures. I always thought I was a visual person, but I am b...

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...
