A Sonic Situation

Momoko drove us out to the beach today. I proposed we get some BBQ on the road, halfway to the beach. Momoko thought we should try to make it to Sonic. But that was 2 hours from home. We were all getting a bit hungry when we discovered a Sonic that was not on their website's map.

We made a U-turn and a bee line to the restaurant. Little Kat and I went to sit at the tables. Momoko and Kit Kat ordered from the car. Some Sonic employee told me to wait 1 minute to qualify for half price drinks. I pushed the button to order and asked whether I could get the half price special. The person on the intercom said I could do that in 60 seconds. I told her it would take us 60 seconds to order, and so we would like to get the discount.

After we ordered, the person on the intercom said we could not get the discount since we started the order before the discount time. That was silly. I did not iniatially care that much about the discount. But after an employee encouraged us to ask for it, and I thought up front we had established that I could get a discount, I now wanted that darn discount.

I asked the Sonic employee to confirm whether we would get the discount if I would place the order right at that second. She said yes. So I asked her to cancel our previous order, and reenter it again to give me the discount. She complied and we got like 2 bucks off our bill.

It is nice for them to have a sale on drinks. I figure it gets customers during the slow hour. But don't talk me into getting the special and then tell me the computer won't accept the special. That's just a big fail. Luckily their food is awesome. Otherwise I don't like messing with such shennanigans.

Free Lunch

I had a hectic morning today. At work my normal office was unavailable. So I sat in another office. The phone was ringing off the hook all morning. There was nobody else on my team in the office (they worked from home). I pondered what to do for lunch.

Another cat told me that there was a free lunch in one of the conference rooms. I scoped it out and found a few people in the room. Then I saw a bunch of food lined up against the wall. I got a BBQ pork sandwich. There was also salami and pepperoni which I helped myself to. Good stuff. I filled my plate up.

I had a busy afternoon programming. The end of the day came quick. I needed to return home on time because I was meeting a friend to go out. We ended up eating some steaks. More good food.

Ants and Rain

Today was tennis day. After tennis we went to the library. Kit Kat had an anime book come in. She also got some previous issues of the manga. Then Momoko suggested we eat some BBQ. All were in favor.

Little Kat had a kids meal. It allowed him to get a soda to drink. Momoko got a double catfish platter. She could not finished all her sides. We chipped in a helped her out.

At home we found ants coming in the kitchen. They headed into our pantry. We spents hours cleaning everything up. Outside I found our wall rotting or termite infested. Then the rain gutters started overflowing because they were clogged. When it rains, it pours.

Kit Kat Returns

Today Kit Kat was scheduled to return home from visiting her dad. I work closer to the airport. So I was supposed to pick her up after work.

During the work day, I got a call from Little Kat. He said that Kit Kat had no boarded the plane. What he meant was that her flight was delayed. I called her and found it was at least 30 minutes late.

With the extra time, Momomko instructed me to eay on my own since it would be late before I got home. I went to the local BBQ place and got a burger and fries.

After dinner I ran into some heavy traffic on the highway. Then I was surprised at the airport when they closed the garage level where I normally park. It took a while to find a spot on another crowded garage level.

I though I was okay because it was still early. However Kit Kat's flight made up some time in the air. Luckily I met Kit Kat at the baggage claim. We got home pretty quickly and celebrated Kit Kat's birthday a day late.

Corn Cake is Sweet

The other day it was Kit Kat's turn to make dinner. She baked some Shepard's pie (who knows what is in there). But the bonus was some corn cake to go with it. This cake was delicious. I even had seconds as Little Kat did not eat his fair share.

Today I had to go to work early. So I took a nap when I got home. I awoke to a sweet smell in the air. This was strange because Mamma Kat and I picked up some BBQ for dinner. Nobody should have been cooking.

When I got downstairs, there was a whole corn cake on the stove. I helped myself to a couple pieces. It seems Kit Kat got busy cooking some dessert for us today. Good job Kit Kat.
