Party Preparations

Kit Kat had been planning to have a few friends sleep over during the Christmas break. Momoko suggested that Kit Kat invite some boys over as well for a party. Kit Kat agreed. Her friend's love when she makes her cheese fondue. So she and Momoko went shopping the day before. Unfortunately they went late at night. There was no french baguette bread available for dipping into the cheese. They decided to return to the store on the day of the party.

The family is staying up late each night since it is vacation. I am usually the first one up around noon each day. In the mid afternoon, I warned Momoko that she and Kit Kat should go to the store and buy some bread. Two hours before the party, Momoko asked if I could take Kit Kat grocery shopping. It turns out that Momoko had to go to the library with Little Kat before it closed. Poor planning. Kit Kat drove me to a crowded grocery store. We got 4 loaves of baguette bread. Just before the party started, Momoko had me go out and buy some subs for dinner. I brought Little Kat along for the ride (and to help use some of the coupons I had). When we returned home, everyone had arrived for the party. Don't these kids know how to arrive fashionably late?

There was a lot of dancing going on at the party. The dancing was part of the new Xbox game Kit Kat bought. I was impressed with the large number of songs the game has. Momoko and I try to stay out of the way during Kit Kat's party. A couple hours into the party, I heard Little Kat talking with Kit Kat's friends. Then I heard Kit Kat trying to shoo Little Kat away. I came down to investigate. Apparently some party goers talked to Little Kat, and he was only too happy to join the party. I inatructed him to politely ignore anyone talking to him, and to stay upstairs away from the party goers. We did allow Little Kat to come downstairs to snack on som eof the pizza that Kit Kat cooked.

At midnight, we kicked the boys out of the house. I had to drive one of the guys home. Good times for all.

Visitor Approved

Kit Kat has to do a research project during her senior year in high school. She has decided to run some tests on students. Momoko is proving as assist by letting Kit Kat interview her students. Kit Kat's friend decided to do the same thing. Momoko is her mentor.

Today Kit Kat's friend went to school with Momoko. There she shall run some experiments on the kids. She got permission from the kids' parents. I think it might be some sort of memory test. Momoko said it was sad that Kit Kat's friend just sits in the classroom during lunch time. She does not go to the cafeteria with the other students. I told Momoko I could bring by a pizza at lunch time. My work sched is very flexible these days because I am working from home. Now Kit Kat's friend is very picky about what she eats a drinks. For example, she does not like any toppings other than cheese on her pizza. Luckily Pizza Hut has personal pan pizzas. I got one for Momoko and Kit Kat's friend.

Since school was in session when I arrived, I checked into the main office. Momoko must have warned them I was coming. They knew I was there to deliver pizza. The lady behind the desk reached out with a big sticker. I asked if I was supposed to put it on the food? She laughed and stuck it on my jacket. It was a school visitor badge. Aha.

I was smart when I got the food from Pizza Hut. I dented in the little RB tab on top of the drink for Kit Kat's friend. She likes Root Beer. Momoko goes for Lipton brisk rasberry tea. Don't want to mix up our orders. Luckily Pizza Hut puts a little sticker on the pizza boxes indicating the toppings on the pizza. Mission accomplished.

Welcome Home Little Kat

Today I woke up very early to make it to the airport. Luckily there was not that much traffic and I got there early. It was kind of empty on the arrivals floor. I brought my newspaper to pass the time. Read it from front to back.

Little Kat came out with not much fanfare at the airport. He had a wild head of hair. Looks like he did not get that hair cut he needed this summer. There were a number of people on his plane. But they were mostly just passing through to their destination. Little Kat said about 5 people got off the plane in our city.

Strangely enough Little Kat said he stayed up the while night last night. We still made him come to school in order to assist Momoko set up her classroom. He was a bit cranky. He crashed hard on his bed when we got back to the house at dinner time. Little Kat went to bed without eating even a piece of the pizza we ordered for dinner.

Working Hard

Today I had to get up before noon (shocking I know).

I had to get ready for my class before that time because I had to participate in an online class discussion at 1 PM that would last until 2:30 PM.

Then I had to drive to my next class (about 30 minutes away ) and it started at 3 PM.

I made it safe and sound only to find out that we were not staying the whole 3 hours. So about 30 minutes later I started heading home. When I got home Black was at home, I decided to order pizza for dinner and chill.

Here Comes the Pizza

Mamma Kat bought us some pizzas tonight for dinner. Kit Kat's scout troup was running some promotion with a local pizza chain. They were going to donate 20% of proceeds if you mention that the troop sent you.

All I know is that they make some delicious pepperoni pizza. I already had a few pieces. Add a little crushed red pepper, and you are good to go.

Show on Saturday

Little Kat seemed excited every time we saw an ad for the movie Coraline. So this Saturday we all got up early. We drove down south to go see the show. There was only one place showing the film in the morning. I always have my bro cat come over the house Saturday afternoon. So we needed to watch the movie early.

It was a treat to find that the matinee price was 5 bucks. Our normal theater charges 8 bucks for matinee. The theater was fine, proving stadium seating for us to enjoy. We loaded up with concessions like nachos and a hot dog. Little Kat was puzzled that the theater seemed empty. The movie just came out yesterday. I guess the other cats were sleeping in.

The movie was great. The only disappointment to Little Kat was that it was not in 3D. Afterwards we walked through the mall and ordered a pizza to go. Mamma Kat likes pepperoni. The other cats like cheese. This might be the start of a new tradition for our family - going to the show on Saturday morning.
