Nuclear Sauce

This past weekend my family (minus myself and mom) went to California to pick up a car my brother bought. This is the greatest conversation Kendra and I have ever had via text:

Kendra: We are somewhere in Nevada. It is an odd state. Random air crafts in the middle of nowhere. Ha! Probably going to lose service again soon.

Tamara: There are aliens there you know!

Kendra: Nuclear stuff! I am sure of it!

Tamara: If you come back glowing we will know why.

Kendra: Yes. Because I was abducted and dipped in nuclear sauce!

Tamara: Haha!!! You said sauce!

- - - the next day - - -

Kendra: The hotel shampoo smelled like lime vodka. I am serious!! It would not be good for a hangover. It may make people puke.


I love you Kendra!!!

i am leaving on a jet plane

I signed up yesterday for GM classes, which my corporation requires, in October. I will spend four very long days in a lecture class about basic hospitality management items. Yay. I am looking forward to spending so much time hanging out pretending to listen to someone. The bad part? I have to go to Parsippany New Jersey. Google it. I dare you.

Parsippany was rated in the top 15 for the best places to live, according the Money Magazine. That was the most interesting thing I could find in fifteen minutes. Dee-light-full.

She sleeps where??

This past week at work was horrible. Everyday at least one thing went horribly wrong. I have had washers break down, had a flood, didn't recieve shipments, had picky people, had employee problems, and lots more. I am not going to dwell on it anymore because it's over.

On a happier note, look where Kiki sleeps. No one can deny how adorable this is.

new addition

A week ago Mike and I were driving around and saw some girls giving away kittens. We couldn't resist and ended up bringing one home. It has been a fun week with our new kitten Kiki. We are super lucky that she took to her litter box the first day. Thank goodness. She is a ball of cuteness.

Tuesday I came home from work and was greeted by the dog, but Kiki was nowhere. Mike and I searched for an hour and couldn't find her. We thought she was lost forever. Turns out she was hiding at the very bottom of a large box of sheets and bedding. Damn cat gave me a heart attack and I almost cried.

Her favorite places to sleep are on someones sholder and neck, the chair in our bedroom, or on our end table by the lamp. She is a nut head.

Dear July;

Thank you for being better than June already!! I would really appreciate it if you could be nice the entire month and not just this past week; I would really hate for it to ruin our great friendship thus far.

THANKS!!

dear june . . .

Dear June:

I wanted to take a moment and express my appreciation for you being done and over with. You were nothing but harsh and mean to me for thirty very long days. You did every nasty thing you possibly could have to me.

Thank you again for stepping aside and letting July take over.
