Of course I started following them and I’m even more convinced that Twitter is a great method to communicate both professionally and personally.<br /><br />I found that the photographers communication between each other often. If one photog has a reguest for a certain date in which they are unavailable, they will tweet it out to the other photogs to see if they have the date available.<br /><br />Great camaraderie between photogs. That’s what I like to see!

Can we avoid that??So I just watched a wedding video online at some photographer's website and it was awkward! Can we not have an awkward wedding? I'm not sure if that's possible but if it is, I hope that's how ours will be.<br /><br />They had a close-up of the couple as they were doing their first dance and singing together. Cute right? No. It was weird. I've decided for sure that I don't want my wedding video-taped. I will look too goofy. I don't want to post a link to the video I am referring to but I will post a different, fun video!<br /><br />This video (of a toast) is goofy too but not awkward (in my opinion). It is a bit eccentric but what can I say...I'm a sucker.<br /><br />Go here to see the video: <a href="http://amcvideo.com/weddings_blog/?p=30">Amy's Song</a>Kendall:http://www.blogger.com/profile/09392381715103964644noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8357294194539097752.post-35022369894867302412008-11-06T23:47:00.002-05:002008-11-06T23:49:01.407-05:00What did I do?Great.

Lately I've been farting around on something called Twitter. I never heard of it before we began experimenting with it at work. At an internship fair I attended at Kutztown University today, we asked most of the students interested in our internship if they've ever heard of it and maybe one person say yes. Guess that means I'm not alone?<br /><br />The way I've been describing it to people is that it is similiar to posting updates on your facebook profile. It's just a 140 character blurb on what you're doing. You can have conservations that way! It's benefitial to us at work because we are able to post our events and announcements for those "following" us. We are beginning to make some progess using it as a marketing tool.<br /><br />Sign up and "follow" me! I give you permission to stalk me :)<br /><br />Me: <a href="http://twitter.com/kaschmie">http://twitter.com/kaschmie</a><br />Work: <a href="http://twitter.com/lehighvalleypa">http://twitter.com/lehighvalleypa</a>Kendall:http://www.blogger.com/profile/09392381715103964644noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8357294194539097752.post-56831609035680006352008-10-10T12:34:00.001-04:002008-10-10T12:36:45.364-04:00Boo!<a href="http://www.hostessblog.com/2008/10/wedding-gone-askew-halloween-party/#more-2809">Very clever and cute!</a>Kendall:http://www.blogger.com/profile/09392381715103964644noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8357294194539097752.post-86670669748830910462008-10-10T11:26:00.003-04:002008-10-10T12:13:31.050-04:00Hello my name isMelissa.<br />I'm coming up on almost a year of visiting <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Wawa</span> for my morning coffee 5 days a week (oh yea and almost a year at my job too) and sometime over the course of that almost-year, I've acquired the name Melissa (it's not every day that people get to choose which way to spell their name).<br /><br />Carol, the friendly, chipper coffee lady knows me only by my apparent new alias, Melissa or sometimes it's <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Melis</span> for short (seriously!?). Couldn't she have picked a better, cooler name? No offense to the name Melissa or anyone who goes by that but it's not something I would have picked for myself.<br /><br />Where did she get the idea that that was my name anyway? I never told her my name was Kendall but I also never told her my name was Melissa.<br /><br />What she might have heard...<br /><br /><ul><li>The accent in both names is in the middle, maybe that threw her off? Go ahead, say it out loud...<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">ke</span><strong>ND</strong>all...<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">mel</span><strong>IS</strong><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">sa</span>. Okay so that might be a stretch.</li><li>My mom, who also frequents <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Wawa</span> with me in the morning, might have said one time..."here take this" referring to the coffee cup she was handing me and maybe Carol heard "here <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Melis</span>"</li><li>Maybe my mom said "What do you want for lunch today? Turkey and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">swiss</span>?" and Carol thought she said "What do you want for lunch today <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Melis</span>?"</li><li>My mom's name is Lisa. I could see the progression...Melissa...Lisa...lis...</li><li>Or maybe she knows it's not my name and she secretly thinks it's funny. She's probably waiting to see how long it takes me to correct her. Two can play at this game!</li></ul><p>No <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Wawa</span> tomorrow but back to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Melis</span> on Monday.</p>Kendall:http://www.blogger.com/profile/09392381715103964644noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8357294194539097752.post-68041823613265590612008-10-08T21:56:00.004-04:002008-10-08T22:07:53.423-04:00Latest listens<div style="WIDTH: 430px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><embed src="http://www.mixwit.com/flash/widgets/shell.swf" width="426" height="327" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashvars="env=embed&widget=19a3b06f29517c07213f0a83954611d9&playlist=6cf73295b6516c84381fda596d012765&vuid=embed" wmode="transparent"></embed><br /><script src="http://www.mixwit.com/m.js"></script><a href="http://www.mixwit.com/k_schmiedel?e"><img style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px" alt="Mixwit" src="http://www.mixwit.com/p.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.mixwit.com/create?e"><img style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px" alt="Mixwit make a mixtape" src="http://www.mixwit.com/m.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.mixwit.com/?e"><img style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px" alt="Mixwit mixtapes" src="http://www.mixwit.com/l.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><p>I thought I would post some songs I've been listening to recently.

My runner up for favorite cafe/creperie is in fact a creperie. Rachel's Cafe and Creperie in Lancaster to be exact. I enjoy the classic fruit crepe (with strawberries, banana and whipped cream) and a fruit smoothie. It's a cute little cafe that is about as French as you can get for Lancaster. Mmmm, a perfect dessert to my vineyard chicken salad sandwich from Prince Street Cafe....<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244229153173913202" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhobw-J0sb5XWpR8GnkkSiUkeQL5OCpf-bHwcYRk5FYjb8BguLyVwk019MxkNZUsWLK9vbW6oIt_oRy9GnyIETB2n-Ff8C6ixicsvYRHSb2PxRvCuGlfHTGtrk31wHpGXweVTsmos-suAY/s400/rachael's+cafe+and+creperie.jpg" border="0" /></p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244229338435660098" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN8OfqRgTLi7zPd07MVX62HvzaX5DPWMs0FWBhJDw0cFgN9Mjr5fj0JY4NSUsMf2NF9-uQlDBA_rCRT5dtDgIP-j4xodH5tYUjW0ihBgl5O-P7WzX8wIyu_TQd2Jgap-0jk9KkFVARdbs/s400/2593938308_d9fefd721a.jpg" border="0" />3.

I love it! It's for the Nintendo DS (which I don't currently have but borrow Robert's whenever possible). It's called something like <em>Mario and Sonic at the Bejing Olympics</em>. I'm pretty much becoming a master of the game. I've gotten a few perfect 10s in my time. My personal favorites are the vault in gymnastics and platform diving in aquatics. Might I add that I work up quite a sweat trying to get more events unlocked.<br /><br />Hey...Carrie Underwood, Nicole Kidman, Liv Tyler and America Ferrara all play it so why can't I??<br /><br />Hmm, maybe its now time for the gym where I can work up a real sweat!Kendall:http://www.blogger.com/profile/09392381715103964644noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8357294194539097752.post-62585477781130011462008-09-02T12:05:00.002-04:002008-09-02T12:08:51.545-04:00If I had a million dollars...I would spend some of it on this wedding photographer...<br /><a href="http://www.tyingtheknot.net/index2.php">http://www.tyingtheknot.net/index2.php</a>Kendall:http://www.blogger.com/profile/09392381715103964644noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8357294194539097752.post-61604198802981023942008-09-02T11:39:00.007-04:002008-09-02T11:53:49.043-04:00Tying the knot stuck to a wall?Unofficially, it looks like Robert and I will be tying the knot at Riverdale Manor in Lancaster.

First of all, the name implies to me that there are frogs in it. Eww. Apparently the name is deceiving because there are not frogs in this stew. However it doesn't really get much better (for me at least).<br /><br />After some research I found out that Frogmore Stew is a South Carolinian recipe and it gets its name from a place that has only a post office on one side of the road and a two-story white country store on the other. Frogmore is the mailing address for the residents of St. Helena Island just off the South Carolina coast. Legend has it that local shrimpers just used whatever ingredients they had on hand to make the stew.<br /><br />Interested in what it does actually have in it?

Because I said so. There are three things that have been bothering me...where to get married, where to live and where to work. At least one of them <em>will</em> be decided this weekend.
