My Ears!

Today, people are testing the fire alarm at work. Very annoying noises!

Wed after work, went to see Inception with Mack. Was a good movie but kinda confusing...

Thurs after work, went with a co-worker to this spa thing where they let you try the products and you can buy something. I'm getting the lip stuff that helps with chapped lips. This was in Sac and we could smell the smoke from the fires from Southern CA.

Today, going to The Grad for happy hour and maybe line dancing later.

My Eyes!

Yesterday at work, I got to go to a meeting. It was fun, but I noticed my eyes felt funky and it's because I wasn't staring at a monitor at the time. That is kinda scary. It was nice to get away from the desk. I was very hyper after the meeting and only calmed down when I got home and ate. Eating helps you mellow out. I just watched tv and gave Mack an awesome massage.

Today, some IT person came in with an annoying (but very funny) t-shirt that was in 3-D so our eyes were hurting just looking at it. Today is good so far.

Oh, after a shower, I was curious how much I weigh since I can fit my skinny pants. I dropped 6 pounds in less than a month's time. I think the hiking really did a lot for me.

Good Weekend

Had an eventful weekend:

Friday: work was boring since my peoples had vacation hours and stuff. Went home, and did nothing as usual. Was hoping Mack would be back, but he came home in the middle of the night. Momo was going crazy when Mack came home and meowed for five minutes after Mack went to bed. Poor Momo wanted to play. He wants to be in our bed, which I wouldn't mind but he has worms, so until he is parasite free, he is staying out of the room.

Saturday: went to Mack's 10 year hs reunion in Santa Cruz. It was held in a park near the Costco. It was cold. Had some good food, met some new people. It was informal, so that was good. I was pretty tired. Mack dragged a friend to go. Went to Mack's parents briefly to pick up his mail. Went home and slept.

Sunday: Got up early to go hiking. Finally felt awake. The area was really pretty, it was the Jack London Historical Site, in Sonoma County. There were old buildings and it felt like a field trip because of that. We wanted to do the 10.2 mile loop but somehow the directions to the trail head did not work out, but we did a 8 mile hike up to the summit. Chillaxed and had lunch up there. My back was killing me because I packed too heavy. We went to this cantina in a town called Agua Caliente, which I would say is like Little Mexico because there was a ton of Mexican food and people. Saw some pretty awesome looking cars on the way. Came home at a decent hour. Played with my boys at home. Watched part of Mega Shark v. Giant Octopus right before bed so I was very tired. There was a hilarious scene in which Mega Shark flies up to an airplane and attacks it. It was funny to begin with, but since I was super tired, I couldn't stop laughing and Mack laughed because I was laughing so hard. Good times. I think Mack really likes it when I react like that.

Lots to do this week...

Batman Pug

A few days ago, the Batman Pug Internet Sensation hit with a short clip of the dog saying batman! Then, only a short time afterward, someone made a remix featuring the old Batman cartoon theme song with the pug piping in "batman" at the right parts. Check it out!

Batman Pug

Yesterday, hung out with Momo a lot. He was attacking me and rubbing his head with mine while I lied down and playing with my hair. Just like having Mackenzie around :) I just ate and lied down ALL day after work since I was extremely tired. I love the show Little People Big World. I had a marathon going on.

Got an email this morning from Mack saying how much fun he is having with his new work peoples. I'm very happy he is being social and having fun!

I got a large coffee at the cafe across the street from where I live. Wooo! Goodness in a cup. Feel better. Still cold though!

Raining cats and dogs

Ok, well, in my dream, I had Momo to take care of. But all of a sudden, I had a dog that looked and acted a bit like Scooby Doo so I had to run him in the morning and at night so that this huge dog would be ok in the small apt. Ya, this dog just suddenly appeared in my apt. and I had to be a runner all of a sudden. Thinking about it now, what a good excuse to get me outside running, a dog. That would make me probably never have any time for watching tv or just goofing off. I get so tired when I get home that I kinda wished I had something pushing me to get out.

I ate a huge bowl of pasta and salami and that made me have to work out. I felt sick for a bit then went to bed early.

What a mess

Got home after work and all the bags and boxes there were in Mack's car that I got from home. So now, looks very messy. But, I can deal with it since we will be moving in about a month. So, kitteh had more new things to explore, or perhaps chew. I don't think he can do that but he'll try. Poor kitteh must be bored. I tried to play with him a lot, but I need to do things after work.

Mack left for his week in Santa Clara with his work training. I just remembered after going to bed that I could spread out. It was nice. And, I could turn on the light in the room to get ready. I rarely cook food, since I snack more, but I made pasta and it was nummy. Then pigged out on salami and cheese and crackers. Then had to work out to not feel so fat and I had a lot of energy from all that food. The week days just go by way too quickly.

Company

This past weekend was fun!

Friday: was invited to a comedy club in Sac, but didn't go since I was tired. I watched tv and ate my burrito. Good times.

Saturday: woke up early, not on purpose. Sat and was a zombie for a while. Mack left early to help a friend move. I finally got going at 1. I went to Walmart and it was crowded and kids were running around everywhere. Not cool. The old man in the line took FOREVER! I stood in line for a good 15 min. Went home and had enough time to bake my cake. Mack's parents came over. We went to Burgers and Brew, which I scarfed down, since I anticipated we would be going out for food. Got home, watched a movie while Mari studied. I got a nice back massage and foot massage from Mari. She is doing this massage therapy class and needs to massage people for homework. Darn :) It was awesome, I think I fell asleep for a second.

Sunday: Got up early again, not on purpose. Hung out with Momo. Went to sleep again for a little bit. Took a shower, iced my cake (was a surprise cake for Mack. I told him it was for a friend). We hung out, got ready, looked at Mack's photo album that his parents brought up. Embarrassed Mack while looking at the photos. My parents arrived. Our parents finally met! We showed them Momo and they all love him. We chatted (mostly my dad and Mack's dad did the talking) and then went to Sudwerk for lunch/dinner. Talked more. Mom said that Mack's mom is pretty. My dad likes Mack's dad. Good times. I said to everyone that I had a surprise for Mack (when we got home). Mack freaked out, scared as to what this surprise was. When I went into the refrigerator, I pulled out the cake and Mack was really surprised I made him a cake. I put "Congrats Mac" on it. I made a triple fudge chocolate cake with vanilla frosting and red and blue decorating frosting. Mack loved it. Very good cake too (store bought is always good). We took pictures outside and called it a day. I enjoyed all the company we had and felt bored when everyone left. I played some DS and worked out and that was pretty much the rest of the day.

Today, got up and now tired. I bet I could have slept a lot today. Always looking forward to the next Caturday. I really need a vacation, but need to save up for that since I might want to have a few days off around the time we move. But I want to move on a Saturday, do everything except for a few items to keep in the Davis apt. so I might just live in Davis until the lease is up to make it easier to go to work. Then, I will (hopefully) be on my reduced hours schedule which allows me to leave an hour earlier to avoid most traffic. It will suck, but it will be ok for a little while.

Attack Cat

Momo is just a little attack kitteh. He likes to attack my arms, toes, and shirt. I hope he grows out of it. We have him play with a mouse thing on a drumstick that works well. Oh, found out that Momo is a Gray Tabby. But, he is the cutest one of course :).

Yesterday, was really tired, played with Momo, finally got energy around 7, worked out a lot, did my dance videos. Mack wanted me to go out, but I would have died. I need notice of anything of going out late, especially on a weeknight.

This weekend will be good. yay!

A story to tell

This is quite a story, though not that uncommon.

Mack and I took Momo to the vet yesterday afternoon. Poor kitty was freaking out when we put Momo in the carrier and Momo meowed the whole way to the vet. Sounded like crying, which I'm sure it was. Momo clawed Mack and I to death the whole time we were there. I had to hold Momo while the person stuck a thermometer in the butt. The vet came in and I must have slipped a "he" refering to Momo and I had to correct the vet and say "she". The vet looked at Momo's butt and said that Momo is a male! I cracked up! I said I couldn't wait to tell Sara, my sister, this news. The vet said she had to tell a lot of people that the cat is a different gender. So, at least the name Momo is good for both male and female but Momo will be rocking a pink collar if we ever put it on him. This kinda makes more sense that it's a male since he is big. So, I called Sara and she was laughing too. Mike, her boyfriend who had said it was a female, said sorry. It doesn't matter, but I love how they thought Momo's mom was a boy and named her Dude. Momo did ok after he got home from the vet. We gave him milk and he slept forever. We get to go back to the vet in three weeks. Oh, I took a good pic of Mack and Momo, now the boys club. I was saying to Mack I'd have a room be girls only, but that won't work anymore. Found out Momo's birthday is May 5th.

Did what I now call my gay hip hop workout since Mack had pointed out the fact that the instructor acts pretty gay. When I first did it, I didn't think much about it, then after that, I'm like, wow, this guy is pretty fruity.

Cat Pics!






I posted the cat pics on my Facebook page. I will post a few here:

De-Flea-ing

Yesterday was a busy day, so no pics yet, but hopefully tonight!

Went to the nail salon after work. Got home, barely was there five minutes when Mack asked me to wash the sheets due to the flea infestation, so did that. Mack vacuumed. Felt a lot cleaner. Mack got rid of more fleas she had. Did more late a night and only saw three little ones. We hope that is most of them. We can't treat her until she is older. Mack says I'm the flea pro since I can handle that flea comb with skill. I has skills at the de-flea-ing. I enjoy it as well. Must be my monkey in me. I pick things off of Mack as well. Ate and worked out. That was pretty much my day. Hopefully tonight I'll work on pics and play with Momo more.

I love Momo!

Exciting and extra long weekend.

Thursday: Took a half day at work. My dad came over to drop off a van full of boxes and bags full of my old stuff as a kid. Found my soccer Popple, a few other stuffed animals, photos of yore, TONS of books, mostly kiddie books that I am keeping, and clothes which I got rid of. So, Thursday, after we took that stuff out of the van, went to In and Out with my dad for tasty burgers. Dad went home. Mack and I went to the Sac airport to pick up Mack's engineering buddy. Then, we went to Petco for a few items, including a scratching post/cat condo thing, pee stray, and toys. We went home and I put on a movie while going through all my bags and boxes to see what to keep, what to toss and what to donate. Oh, and to add more pressure to me, I had to get this done by Friday (then tomorrow) due to getting a cat (so place needed to be clean) and having an interested person to take over our apartment to look at our place, so needed to be clean. I flew through the bags and boxes at an amazing pace. Went through two and a half movies while doing so. Yes, uncovered my Soccer Popple, Cabbage Patch kid (but not Lai-lai) and other nostalgic items.

Friday: Went to The Goodwill to donate the 9 bags. The guy working there was so unresponsive to my questions and need of help. Wow, what a winner! Oh well, got rid of my bags. Went to Walmart for some batteries and other stuff so I could use my camera to take pics of the new cat. Got home, Mack cleaned a lot, cleaned the floors and bathroom, so everything was ready for the person and cat. I went to gas up and apparently the person stopped by while I was gone. Waited on Sara's call to meet her at the Target parking lot in Vallejo. I had prepared my car for the kitteh that morning. Mack and I went and met my sister. Poor Momo was scared. Took a ton of pics which will be posted shortly. We got home and she came out of the carrier after a while and hid under my dresser for about 6 hours. At first I just kinda hung around coaxing her. Then, I watched a movie and did my thing. She finally came out and was very timid and found another hiding spot under the bed.

Saturday: That morning, I was glad to see Momo pee in her carrier that I placed in the living room that had newspapers in it. I then placed those soiled papers in her liter box and put the liter box where the carrier was and put the carrier way up high so she couldn't be tempted to pee in it again. Mack had shown her to dig in the litter box. She ate and I later saw her go pee in the liter box. yay! I went to my book club in Vacaville. Had fun talking, went to lunch for two hours! wow, went shopping for a while. So hot! Went home to play with Momo. We saw her poo in the litter box and got really happy about that. She seemed much more accustomed to us and the apt. She has been exploring and started to mark her territory by rubbing us.

Sunday: Slept in! Played with Momo more. Mack and I went to Petco to buy shampoo, flea comb, and another toy. We gave Momo a bath in the kitchen sink to help with her fleas. Poor Momo was struggling a bit when we gave her a bath and she meowed, but she did pretty well. We saw a few dead fleas in the water, so we were hoping that her flea problem was almost taken care of. She got dry and ran around a bit, then started to sleep on Mack's lap. Mack started to comb her, and saw a few fleas. That is when the major flea combing occurred. Mack brought out a cup of hot water and paper towels and I had Momo sit on my lap while she was resting and I combed her for fleas. I found flea after flea like crazy. I would see the fleas on the comb and give it to Mack to dunk in the water and take off the flea. I had Mack put on a movie while we did this for over an hour. We finally did not see that many fleas after that time and she woke up, so we stopped the flea madness. Mack went to school and I worked out and hung out with Momo. Mack came home and started up doing the flea killing again. The first time, we found 20-something fleas. The second time, Mack killed 15. Later that night, Mack tried again and killed about 8. Still more to get rid of I'm sure. We need to vacuum because a few jumped off the comb. I'm sure Momo is less itchy and loves us for that. She peed in a corner, so she still needs to be potty trained. Caught her almost peeing in her corner this morning, but put her in her litter box and she went there. Yes, we are like parents to this cat. She's my baby! She's been stalking our toes sometimes, so I have to watch out for that. She is adventurous and quite a mouser by her attacking her toys. Oh, she is gray with black stripes and black spots on her tummy. She cute :)

Spoke too soon...

So, yesterday's post read stuff about how quiet the construction zone was. At 4pm, a coworker got a call from a coworker who had just left for home about a broken water pipe just outside. We go and look, and there is this geyser of water shooting up! A cement truck looked to have run over the fire hydrant! I took a few photos and sent a few text messages to people. Other people took pics too! It was crazy and exciting! Just glad it happened at the end of the day because I couldn't focus! Some people moved their cars because it was starting to flood the parking lot. Madness.

In other news, my sister called to say I can pick up my kitten this Friday!!! Yay! So excited! We are meeting in Vallejo for "the exchange". It feels like a drug exchange or something illegal, but nope. She doesn't want me to come to her home because the managers don't know about the cats. Going to buy some toys and scratching stuff and pee cleaner. Can't wait. Going to take pics to show people! Momo will be her name (means peach in Japanese). I got it when Mackenzie's grandma last Christmas called Hope, Michael's dog (Mack's bro), Momo. I loved the name. I can call her Momo Heemay (don't know that spelling), means Princess Peach in Japanese (nerdy, yes, in Mario Bros. video games). Or call her peaches. I love it. Call her my Georgia peach.

So, earlier, a few weeks back, I said I wanted more excitement at work. I got that and more with that geyser. I need to perhaps not say anything. But that was so cool!

All quiet in the construction zone

Yesterday, we had quite a bit of noise at work with all the construction going on. Today, someone pointed out how quiet it is. Wonder what's going on with that. I just want them to get on with it!

Yesterday, started to go biking with Mack. My butt hurt from not biking, so we walked instead. Too hot to walk for long. Worked out, ate oatmeal. Yes, being good. I like brains (as we now call oatmeal).

Now, very tired. Slept well, but could have slept for a long time. Today, not sure what to do after work. Going to take a half day tomorrow to get some books my dad is dropping off at the apt. More stuff to move. ack.

Hungry!

Long Weekend

Had a good three day weekend.

Friday: went home worked out, relaxed.

Saturday: slept for 10 hours. Worked out, got some food for hanging out with a few people. Played Clue for hours, ate hot dogs, went to the Woodland fireworks show (yes, on the 3rd instead of the 4th. Don't know why). It was a good show! Found a good place to sit and watch, got a close parking spot.

Sunday: worked out, cleaned some of the kitchen, kinda lazy during the day. Did a massive amount of laundry in the evening. Didn't see the Davis fireworks, already saw them and it gets packed there.

Monday: Very fulfilling day: rode my bike to campus and back, worked out (now I'm sore), finished cleaning the kitchen, went through my mail and got rid of the junk mail which turned out to be a trash bag full of junk mail. Got rid of more books, going to get rid of a lot of clothes I never wear and shoes. Got jamba juice with Mack and went to Safeway. Relaxed for a bit, played video games (been a while), watched tv, read. Just so happy to get the mail situated under control and getting rid of stuff you don't need is always good. I feel lighter. Oh, I woke Mackenzie up to the smell of sausages, I also cooked eggs, toast, tots, and sauteed veggies. Point one for awesome girlfriend. Point 2 is that when I got a foot long at Subway, Mack was home and I let him have half. Point 3, made Crystal Light and cleaned stuff.

Running Brown

I can't believe I forgot to post yesterday! Crazy! Tuesday, I took Mack out to dinner to celebrate him getting a job. Went to try Mermaids seafood and grill. It was good. I liked the indoor decor. I had a chicken sandwich and it was very greasy. Was immobilized after that, so watched tv in bed.

Yesterday, went to Black Bear Diner because we both were lazy and hungry. Felt fat, went on the bed, watched movies and fell asleep. Very lazy.

Today, I hope I have at least enough energy to sit up. Not counting on that too much because I was already tired when I woke up.

So, as to the title of the blog, the water was turned off for an hour this morning. When we were able to go to the restrooms, there was a brown tint to the toilet water. Always something exciting about our bathrooms...
