Celebrating Little Kat

This morning we celebrated Little Kat's birthday. There were some gifts that were delayed for one reason or another. For example, Little Kat got to open the huge box we had in our computer room. It was a weight bench. However the dumbells that are to be used with it are still being shipped.

Little Kat also got some type of Zombies game for the PC. I think he plays the same game on his iPhone a lot. So does Momoko. I got Little Kat a few gifts. The main one was a handheld radio. It runs on batteries and can also tune radio station audio. With some cash gifts from friends. Little Kat purchased himself a new power cable for his laptop.

Although we had red velvet birthday cake around lunch time, we also took Little Kat our to eat for dinner. He chose Friendlys so that he could get ice cream as well. They had a seasonal special where they served ice cream out of Frankenstein's head. You get to keep the Frankenstein mug when you are done. Of course Little Kat got that. Momoko also picked up one of those mugs for her classroom. All in all an eventful day.

BBQ Dinner

We spent the afternoon at the mall today. It was very crowded there. I felt like we got the last two spots in the parking lot. The kids had gift cards and money from Christmas. They wanted to spend.

Little Kat and I checked out a weight bench on sale with some weights. Looked ok. But they were out of stock. Try again later. After the mall we returned home to deal with dinner. We deliberated over a restaurant that everyone would enjoy. And the choice was Famous Dave's BBQ.

We got seated immediately at a big table. Little Kat was most interested in all the BBQ sauces they give you. Everyone chose meals that came with corn on the cob, muffins, and two sides. Nobody left hungry. The favorite sauce was some type of Sassy Southern sauce. I usually like really hot sauce. But the saucy BBQ sauce was indeed superior.

Christmas Pwnage

Momoko had been talking about getting Little Kat a weigh bench. You know. It is like a mini home gym where you do bench presses and exercises with your legs. Well I saw a bench and weights on sale for $90 at Sears.

I first headed to lunch with an old friend today. After that, I drove my truck to the mall by our house. I should have known something was wrong when there was a ton of traffic on the road that leads to the mall. Finally I arrived at the mall and saw the problem.

The entire mall parking lot was full. People were illegally parked everywhere. And there were traffic jams of cars trying to get into the parking lot. I did my best to turn the truck around and go home. Maybe Little Kat's weight bench will have to wait until after Christmas. Or maybe I need to get up as soon as the store opens and grab a bench.
