Liar!

I have the weirdest/funniest story to relate. One day at work, a man came up and asked me if I could page someone. I said "I can't". He said "yes you can. I know you can because my mother used to work here and she told me you can. She used to work at this register and she told me you can". He was almost ranting. Then, get this: He yelled (and there were people in my line) "Liar. You're a liar". He starts to leave, comes back and says "I'm going to report you. what's your name?" He looks at my badge and mutters to himself "kathleen" "You're a liar." he said it at least 3 times--maybe more, very loudly.
Wait--that's not the end of the story. The next day, one of the assistant managers, Sheri, comes up to me, puts her arm around my shoulders and said "What's this about a phone call I got about you?" I think I muttered under my breath "Gee I hope it wasn't from the guy who called me a liar!" Then she said "A customer called to tell me what a wonderful cashier you were!!!" It was this really nice lady who had about 50 coupons and kept telling me I was "superb". She asked me if my phone number was on the receipt. I was a little surprised by that and she clarified that by saying the store number. Then she said "I want to call and tell them how superb you are.!" Isn't that sweet? She was a very nice lady. What a day that was--I was called a liar and superb!

Boo-Hoo

Kyra and Brad just drove off for their trip to Utah. They will be having a family Thanksgiving while I will be working. :(
I will miss you sorely!

25!

Here's Kyra making her wish

Later after dinner, Kyra is knitting a baby afghan--Brad's playing a video game
Oh and by the way, we're all wearing pajamas!! lol

Dad is "on" his computer and behind him you can see the glow of a fire in our wood-burning stove. I don't understand why Kyra and Brad have blankets on--with the fire roaring along, it got really warm in our little house.

When you read the title of this post, you should say it out loud, in an amazed voice. We celebrated Kyra's birthday yesterday because I worked on Saturday til 9:30. I baked a cake after church and when Kyra and Brad came in later, I told her about it -- that's when I decided to cook dinner. Also, Kyra chose cream cheese frosting for her cake and it was amazing! The cake was a butter recipe yellow cake mix and it was delicious! You should try one sometime.

Warm towel

I threw my towel on the floor by the bathroom door while I folded the rest of the towels and sheets and when I came back there was Pipi(Mercy?), as comfortable as can be-just like she owns the place.

Another car

Sorry about another car post but I just had to share this with you. I was going into work yesterday and caught sight of this Miata with a bale of hay in the trunk. Isn't that hilarious? It really tickled my funny bone.

Schweet!

I parked beside this car at the Sushi restaurant. Don't you love it?!

Primm.... and Proper

On our way to Utah last month, we were getting close to Primm, Nevada so I asked Kevin if he wanted to stop there at the fashion outlet mall for lunch. About a minute later, he said "they should've named Jean "Proper".
We ate at a place called the Cagun Grill. We ordered a seafood plate to share and it was ok. The shrimp wasn't peeled, though.
I really appreciate Taco night at Danny's house because he very meticulously peels the shrimp. Yummy!

Mercy

Yesterday, while I was getting ready for work, Mercy followed Kyra and Brad into the house. As you can see, she made herself comfortable on my bathroom vanity. She jumped down and went into the bathtub enclosure when I started to dry my hair. Isn't she cute?

mowing

Here's the before and after of our garden. Kevin was mowing the corn patch as I left for work on Saturday.

Chef Brad

Brad lit the fire while Kevin drove to work to pick up the steaks. Don't ask me why the steaks were at work. They were really delicious.

Under construction.

I stopped to get gas one day last week and looked at the school building. They are really making progress on it. The sign says it will be done next year.

Halloween

I worked til 8 on Halloween night but I did get a picture of Kyra and Brad when they came home from the Halloween party at church.

Halloween costume

Kyra asked me to make her a Halloween costume and this is what we came up with. I will have the finished product posted later. It was super easy!

Outback!

On the Saturday before we headed home, we took Cody out to dinner at Outback in Provo. Cody ordered the Ahi appetizer--he had a very filling lunch earlier in the day.

Kevin ordered Rib Eye. Sorry about the blurriness.

I ordered a New York steak--I think. I really don't remember. All I remember is that it was the most delicious, juiciest steak ever! Honestly, their steaks are the best.

I ordered this lemonade. Guess what flavor? The most delicious, yummiest yet--pomegranate-mango!! It was so good. The next time you go to Outback, you have to order this flavor lemonade.

It was very nice to spend some time with Cody and buy him dinner.

Girl talk

While we were staying at Danny and Jenny's last month, Jenny had a friend over for a sleepover. They were going for a Breast Awareness Walk in Liberty Park the next morning. After I finished getting ready, I joined them in the bathroom to enjoy some girl time. Jenny is the one in the striped shirt and that's her friend, Makenna.

Soccer games

Saturday, October 10th, Kevin and I went to the school fields to watch Austin and Rachel play soccer. As usual, Rachel attached herself to Grandpa. Here you see her "before" hairdo.
Here's Rachel after Mandi fixed her hair. So cute!
Kevin and Mandi in deep discussion and a section of Mike's bald head. If you look close, you can see Rachel talking to her mom
Rachel and Grandpa again.

The end.

NaBloPoMo

I made a mistake. My friend Susie is writing a 15,000 word novel in 30 days (NaNoWriMo). I thought it was national blogging month. I stand corrected. Thanks, Susie!

NaNoWriMo

My friend Susie, ramblingsofsusie.blogspot.com, reminded me on facebook about the NaNoWriMo. If you haven't heard of that, its posting a blog for every day of the month in November. So this is number one.
