Weekend Start

This morning I woke up and called Momoko. She needed a freezer and fridge delivered to her work. And I am the guy with the pickup truck. Before work I headed over there to make the delivery. Momoko told me I could park in the reserved spot at her work. Then I was off to my own work.

I was planning an early departure from work. Of course the customer came calling in the afternoon. I called my team leader. He got the boss on the phone. We were supposed to talk about the customer problems. However the boss wanted to spend a lot of time talking about the whole team's work.

Well I excused myself from that conversation and hauled out of work. I went to the theater to meet Momoko and the children. They were nowhere to be found. I called them up, and they were on the way. We say The Vampire's Assistant. Good stuff. Now Kit Kat is off with her friends at a pre-Halloween party. Time for Little Kat to fry us up some dinner.

Busy Weekend

This weekend is turning out to be a busy one. Momoko has requested that the family go see The Vampire's Assistant at the movies theater tomorrow. Hopefully the cats will have their work done so we can do this.

Then Kit Kat has a pre-Halloween party to go to. She is inviting her friends to come with her to the party. On Saturday, both Little Kat and Kit Kat are planning to go to friends' houses for Halloween. I like this plan. That means I don't have to take anybody trick or treating.

My own brother is coming over on Halloween to watch movies with me. Unfortunately I think I have some B movie DVDs planned for us.

Setting the Boundary

When we bought our house, I decided against paying for a boundary survey. We got a piece of paper that said where the edge of our property was. It was not exact.

Then we noticed some slackers back on the rear part of our property. It was time to put a stop to that. Our fence only enclosed a small portion of our land. So I looked into getting a new fence.

I hired a company to do a boundary survey. They put stakes on the edges of our property. Now those stakes are getting old and weak. So I drove some 4x4 pressure treated lumber in the ground to mark the boundaries of our yard.

The Cat's Eye

Little Kat complained to Momoko that he has trouble seeing the board at school. He believes he needs glasses. So today Momoko is taking him to get an eye exam.

Last time this happened, Kit Kat got some specs. But they broke in a couple weeks. That was the end of her glasses. Little Kat is less responsible. They might be lost in one week.

After the eye exam, Momoko and Little Kat are going grocery shopping. Due to doctor's orders, and encouragement from me, Momoko will be buying healthy foods for us to eat this week. Might taste nasty. But we got to do it.

The Return of Kit Kat

Kit Kat got sick Monday night. She stayed home from school the last couple days. It is going to be a huge chore to catch up on homework and tests.

While Kit Kat was down, Little Kat had to pick up the slack. He was our little cook. Then he washed the dishes. It is a hard knock life.

Luckily Kit Kat was feeling a little better tonight. She cooked us some "breakfast for dinner". There was bacon, eggs, and pancakes. Good times.

Momoko is looking to get on a low sodium diet. She plans to start after the next trip to the grocery store. Good luck to her.

Homecoming Details

Kit Kat has already provided some details on her homecoming dance. But I will fill in some more details. I drove Kit Kat to her dance. When we got there she called up her date who was supposed to meet us there. He answered the phone and said he thought the dance was the next day. Me and Kit Kat sat in the car waiting for the guy.

I guess Kit Kat's friends were expecting her at the dance. They kept calling her on her phone as we waited for her date. After dropping off Kit Kat, I went home briefly. Then I turned around and went back to pick her up. The parking lot was jammed. Kit Kat was texting and calling me wondering where I was at. I pulled over and walked to where she was.

Kit Kat and I drove back home. But we first stopped off at Taco Bell to get Momoko a little "snack". That's funny. I did not know that cats enjoyed tacos. We ended up missing the homecoming game due to sickness in the family, cold weather, and pouring rain. I am still hoping we see one of Kit Kat's high school football games.

Homecoming Plans

This weekend is homecoming at Kit Kat's high school. Kit Kat is planning to go to the dance. I got drafted to drive her to and from the dance. Momoko is still sick and will be staying indoors.

Our whole family was planning to attend the homecoming football game on Saturday. We tried to go last year, but some last minute circumstances prevented us. The cold weather, heavy rains, and Momoko's sickness make it look like we will miss it this year as well.

I think we need to see at least one home football game at Kit Kat's school. The team does not need our support (they always win). But I think we should show a little school spirit.

Restaurant Madness

I planned to meet a cat for dinner yesterday. I arrived at the restaurant right on time. After walking around the place to make sure my friend was not there, I got a booth. Then I waited and waited.

After 20 minutes, I called my friend on his cell phone. It went to voice mail. I decided to order some dinner. 10 minutes later my phone rings and my friend is next to my table. He said he was sitting on the other side of the restaurant for the last half hour. Doh! My bad luck was that he left his cell phone at home.

Luckily we had a lot of catching up to do. So we hung out for a few hours. It was good times. Lesson learned is to call the person as I am walking in the door to the restaurant.

Home Early

I stayed at work late yesterday. Then I came home and did some more work. It was a tough day. Today I got into work early, and it turned out to be a productive day. When my last job was done, I ran out of there.

As soon as I got home I got the mail. The house was quiet. I assumed I was alone. But when I walked down the hall, I was startled by Kit Kat sitting on the sofa.

Since I had some free time for a change, I started playing a computer game. But the dude on the screen would not move. I exited the game, and started it back up. I still had the problem. The mouse was fine. Then I figured it out. My wireless keyboard ran out of batteries. Simple fix.

Sunday Night Movie

This Sunday we had done all of our work early. So there was a little time left for a movie. It was too late to go out to the show. Therefore we turned to cable pay per view.

Little Kat was a good negotiator. He stonewalled some of the choices we had. He either said most looked weak, or that he had seen them before. We also had to be careful to avoid the rated R and MA movies which we inappropriate.

We ended up watching Bionicle - The Legend Reborn. This was a good movie. However make no mistake. It was Little Kat's choice. Next time I think we will let Kit Kat choose.

In other news, plane tickets have been purchased. We are taking a trip to see Grand Kat. We are looking forward to seeing her new cat. And we must get a ride in that HHR.

Early Risers

Normally our family sleeps in on the weekend. It is to make up for a hectic weekday schedule. Yesterday Momoko scheduled some service on her vehicle. The appointment time was 9AM. Ouch.

I was actually the first one up. In preparation for the early service visit, I went to bed early. Then Momoko got up and we went to the dealership. Some slacker was sitting there blocking the service bay entrance.

On the way home, Momoko and I grabbed some breakfast. When we got home there were no kids awake. However Little Kat must have heard us come in. He came down to see what was up. In an hour the service was done. I drove Momoko back to the dealer, with Kit Kat in tow. They wanted to go shopping afterwards. Luckily I got a bit of sleep in before the afternoon. I needed it. My bro came over to watch some movies. And the cats at work had problems and were calling me the whole afternoon.

Some Like it Hot

I got home from work normal time today. Usually I am the last cat home. But there was nobody in the house. Immediately I called Momoko. She and Little Kat were still at school. But Kit Kat should have been home. I called Kit Kat up on her cell. She answered and said she was on her way.

There was another problem at home. The house was really hot inside. And its already October (hello it is fall season). I tried to open all the windows. No luck. Had to turn on the air conditioning. Let's hope it does not cost too much $$$.

The whole family watched Dragonball Evolution on DVD tonight. It was great. Momoko and I had seen it before on pay per view. But there was a lot I had forgotten already. I won't give away any secrets here though, except that Goku's hair sticks up in the air.

Somthing Nasty

When I came home from work, I found out that Momoko and Little Kat would be home really late. That is normally not a problem. But tonight is Little Kat's night to cook. I guess its time to snack until dinner finally arrives.

There was more disturbia at home. I smelled something nasty in the kitchen. For some reason I thought it had to do with Kit Kat cleaning out the fridge. So I had her come down and deal with it. She ended up cleaning the kitchen sink, which had some old food in it.

On a more positive note, I just read the book "Last Night at the Lobster". It was really good. I felt like I was working at Red Lobster. Good stuff indeed.

3.5 Inches is Enough

I hav to share this awesome video called 3.5 Inches is Enough. The impressive thing about it is that it was made on a really old computer.

You have to love the dialogue from the video like:

• look its gramps
• lol wut
• oh snap
• step aside noobs

The Renn Fest

Little Kat wanted the family to go to the Renaissance Festival for his birthday. He invited one of his cat friends to join us. We got up as early as we could on Saturday morning. Momoko got some breakfast. Then we were off.

Kit Kat wore her tail. Little Kat was the Grim Reaper. We got a good parking space by surprise. The day started off with an archery demo. We split up for some lunch. Kit Kat helped me find the joint that sold fried pickles. Yumm.

Later we all joined up to watch the Joust. It was standing room only so we decided to see it later. I went with the boy cats to go to this huge slide. It cost extra to ride it. Little Kat was brave and wanted to go twice. The King of the Faire warned Little Kat that it was a rough ride. Little Kat ignored this advice.

After that the boys went aboard a pirate ship. They spent a lot of time there. We returned to see the Joust. By then, Kit Kat had purchased a smaller toy cat to sit on her shoulder. It had a secret wire that made it move by itself. People who walked by were amazed. Oh what a day.
