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.
