No Longer Temporary

Chateau del Mulsoff (CDM) is pleased to announce a vacancy in our ranks.  As of June 11, The Mrs. will no longer be a temporary housewife. 

Finally, after over a year of searching for full time, permanent work, we're happy to announce she has accepted a job with a local company to help out with their environmental compliance.

We at CDM are excited for the opportunity to get Lori the heck out of the basement, where she's perpetually cold, rarely exchanges her pajamas for normal clothing, and wears glasses with only one lens. 

You may have some burning questions, so CDM put together a F.A.Q. to meet your burning needs, so stop with all the burning.  There is a cream for that.

1. Where is she going?
We will not be relocating, but she will have a 30 minute commute.

2. What exactly will she be doing?
The details will become more clear, but as of right now we understand she will be the holder of the key of power for the universe, and has been going through a series of biological upgrades to help her in her new position.

3. Wow, sounds intense.  How is she holding up?
Her bulging muscles are making clothing choices a little difficult, but she's managing quite fine.  It's the laser beams that spontaneously burst from her pupils that make that one lens difficult to keep in place.

4. The lens of her reading glasses can withstand a direct hit from her laser beam eyes?
Apparently, yes.  Kudos to Target for such resilient generic spectacles.

5. Any other major changes?
She is considering going blonder, appointment scheduled for Thursday.  Other than that, just try not to be surprised on the faint glowing aura, increased muscle mass, the levitation, and of course, try not to look her in the eyes until she can figure that whole thing out.

5. How is the kiddo and husband adjusting?
It's pretty cool for them.  Dependable salary, decent benefits, and no need to ask for help when moving furniture.  Wall patching has been a pain due to the burn holes, and poor Bandit was singed once, but otherwise, they love the prospects the job entails.


Any further questions can be directed to us, Proprietors of Chateau del Mulsoff.  We imagine that the frequency of her posts will remain about the same, maybe every other week.  She still lives in a house, and is still a wife.  And a mom. 

Supremely, blessedly normal.

Weird White Stuff

I spent the weekend away in the far away land called Chetek where Schmidts of all ages and sizes and alternate last names converge for the annual ritual of Winter Party.  Winter Party is in its' seventh year, I believe, and instead of flying 1000 miles to attend, G and I now can drive less than 300 miles and be at the front door of my parents' property out in the wilds of Barron County.  Indeed, at this time of the year, the yard does look barren with near zero (or subzero) temperatures and just a dusting of snow.  Even way up north, the snow was scarce.  Usually, we send the kiddies outside to barrel down the snow covered hill on sleds and tubes.  But there was a change of plans this year considering the yard was a frozen slip n' slide instead of a soft cushy bounty of snow.  Only the older kids were allowed to sled (much to the dismay of my own kid) out of fear of injury due to out of control speeds.  My dad put down some large amounts of hay to ke...

Whole30 Update

So I'm still fatigued, suffering from seasonal allergies (with one sinus stubbornly plugged). Isn't this what the Whole30 was supposed to cure? Yes... and no.  After 25 days of being on plan, I honestly feel no different than when I started.  I've lost a few pounds (down 50 now!), but I sleep the same.  I have the same amount of energy.  I still have adult acne.  My body still aches. The one thing that this exercise has taught me is that food is not the source of all my problems.  It is the source of one problem: my weight.  That's about it.  Then why am I going to continue roughly following it? I say roughly in that I am going to eat normal sausages and bacon instead of the billion dollars per pound the sugar less stuff costs.  I will use ketchup.  I will switch to normal butter instead of clarified butter.  Buy my mayo instead of trying (and failing) to make it myself.  And I will have one day off plan per week so I...

Are You There, Winter? It's Me, Lori

Dear Mother Nature, What is up with the weather?  I just talked to a friend in Colorado and I've seen northern Wisconsin on my sister's Marco Polo's and I can look out my own window. Where is the snow? I'm not a big fan of winter as I'm a perpetual popsicle.  No one uses me as a barometer for the temperature of the room.  My mom often asks, "Isn't it warm in here?  Let's open a door..." Meanwhile I'm dressed in three layers and laying under a blanket, sipping a hot decaf while shivering. That being said, if I'm going to have winter I want Winter.  It's been spring-like for weeks now and then it just dropped into the teens.  Zero white stuff.  There is something wrong with bracing winds and talking about how the air hurts your face surrounded by brown grass and shriveled leaves.  If I am going to be cold I want to see some of that winter beauty before me.  Despite the need to bring out my snow blower, I want to see snowflakes.  I...
