Dinner Alone

Momoko was going to hang out with her peeps this afternoon. So I was instructed to get my own dinner. When I came home, I first cut the grass in the front yard. My goal was to then water the lawn. But I was too tired. Instead I came in and had a mini pizza.

After reading the paper I decided this little pizza was not sufficient. Therefore I went through my collection of coupons. I contemplated getting a cheese steak at Jerry's subs. However I could not find a coupon. Instead I spied a coupon for Arby's toasted subs. I confess I have never had one of these.

I drove down to the nearest Arby's. Now I don't go there much because they have no drive through. I placed an order for one Italian sub, and also one bacon turkey sub. My coupon gave me 2 subs for $4. This was a steal since the normal price for one of those subs is over $4. I packed up a lot of sauces, but didn't need any. The subs tasted pretty good. Not as good as Jerry
s Subs. But a much better value overall.

Before I left Arby's, I spied on the restaurant where Kit Kat's friend has a summer job. I wondered whether she was working there tonight.

Days Swirl By

I started out this summer with a plan. I wanted to complete certain things by the time the kittens return but I find myself getting off track.

I have been enjoying the fact that I can sleep in with no commitments but this causes me to stay up until the wee hours of the morning. I have to focus so that I can stick to my summer plan.

I want to start going back to physical therapy and or start going to the pool. I want to organize each room and plan for class. I have a summer class July 12-23 so I really do not have a lot of time to work on my to list if the kittens are coming home mid August.

I really miss the kittens and it kills me that they never call or text. I know they are busy but I would really just like a five minute check. I am sure my mom feels the same way and I am lucky if I talk to her once a week. I guess there is something about what comes around goes around. I will keep you posted on my list of things and how well I get them completed!

The View From Black Cat

It is the night before the cats leave to see their dad. I need to talk with Kit Kat. However it is getting late. So I wrap up any discussion and go to bed. Momoko wakes me up and tells me we forgot to load the car. She and Kit Kat have to take care of it. I get up before 5:00am. Little Kat tells me he is so excited about the trip that he gets up before his alarm goes off.

I drove the family to the airport. When we get there, Kit Kat realizes that she forgot her wallet. Oh well. No driving for you until Momoko mails it to you. We see a huge line for security. When we try to check in, the automated screen does not recognize Momoko's boarding passes for the kids. An employee helps us out. The long security line goes by quick. I am happy I was not required to go through the full body scanner. Little Kat remarks that the airport screeners took a long hard look at Kit Kat's laptop with the scanner. We go to our gate and wait.

Momoko asks if there is time for her to get breakfast for the kids. I tell her I guess so. She leaves me with everybody's carry on bags. The kids go with her to the McDonald's in the airport. Then the kids' plane starts boarding. I would call Momoko, but she left her cell in the car. Luckily the kids come back and scramble to grab their things. They get in line according to their boarding pass number, with uneaten McDonald's in tow. Momoko and I watch as the plane tries to back out of the terminal. Another plane whizzes by behind the kids' plane. Whew. Close call. Did the kids know what just happened? The plane does a 270 degree turns. Is this a rookie pilot or what? Then Momoko and I leave the airport. I get milked at the parking lot exit for 8 bucks. We were only there for an hour and a half. But at least we parked close to the terminal.

The Ladder

Even though we encountered a lot of people at the airport, the kittens made it to their destination.

After dropping off the kittens, Black and I came home. We talked for a bit before he had to go to work. I made myself a yummy breakfast (scrambled eggs with cheese and thin bagels).

After breakfast, I sat down to do a little reading. I heard a lot of commotion outside. I peeked out the window and to my surprise there was an unknown man outside placing a ladder on the house. I was a little taken back because Black always lets me know when workers are coming to house. I thought about going outside and talking to the man but then decided I needed to talk to Black.

I called him at work and he was not expecting anyone. He made a phone call and it seemed it was the person Black hired to paint the shutters but there had been some miscommunication about calling before coming. I was just happy to hear that the strange man was suppose to be here and I did not have to do anything but stay out of the way. I am sure the shutters will look grand!

Wrapping Up the Weekend

The Kittens leave bright and early on Monday. We have to leave the house around 5:00 am! We made sure the car was packed before bedtime so we really just have to roll out of bed and go.

I was looking back and realized it was a pretty nice but hectic weekend. Saturday we were able to spend time at our favorite eating place. Kit spent time with her friends (pool party/mini golf/sleep over) and I had a nice evening with Little which included Red Lobster and ice cream.

On Sunday, Little and Black went out to eat and I took Kit and her friends to the movie to see "Killers". We really enjoyed the movie. After the movie, Kit and I headed to the grocery store. The kittens finished up their chores and we ended the night talking. I am really going to miss the kittens and it is hard to let them go but I know they are really excited about going and I want them to have a good time.

They are not always going to be kittens. One day they are going to be living their own lives and be their own cats. You can only do the best that you can and get them to the airport on time!

Robbed

Momoko went on a shopping spree this week. Mostly she had to pick up some essentials. But there were some extra items purchased. One of them was a Glee CD. Momoko said she "bought it for me". That seemed strange. I did not express any interest in this CD. Sounded more like somebody else wanted the CD, but they "bought it for me".

The CD got put in a bag with all the other stuff they bought. I went to work the next day. When I got home, it seems the whole family had a party ripping a bunch of CDs to their computers. That sounded smart since that's how you get the songs onto your iPod (everyone in the family has an iPod, Momoko has 2). Then I saw the treachery. Somebody had opened up my CD and ripped it to computer. Then it got passed along.

Let's get this straight. Someone bought me a CD. Then they opened up the packaging and ripped the songs for themselves. I should have asked for a refund. Instead I just accepted my fate and ripped the thing to my computer as well. I hurried up and put the CD in my car's CD player before it got ripped off again.
