The Trip:
We decided to make a brief stop at the office so that she could meet her future coworkers. On the way to the office I noticed a clear plastic string hanging from the armpit of her jacket...yes..it was a tag. That was several minutes of laughter. Then I criticized her off white faux vintage glasses. Mara didn't not really appreciate that. But come on people she had on all black. Ugh! So we get to the office and she had to go through security because she is a visitor. She had to take her shoes off an low and behold mismatched socks. Really Mara. I took her to the secret squirrel elevator and we headed to the 13th floor. Once we got back down to the 9th floor we learned how to make cheesy baked potatoes. Then we left.
Once home we grabbed the girls and headed to the Olive Garden where Mara tried to devour meatballs the size of a head. All in all the dinner was delicious. We Heart the Olive Garden. After that we came home, got in our comfy's and watched Toy Story 3. Mara got scared. LOL.
Wednesday:
We got up, got dressed and headed for Land of the Idiots (Wallie-World). What an adventure. After that we went to Starbucks and I watched my friend ruin her coffee with sugar and whip cream. She said I am mistaken. However, she had Christmas Blend with whip cream and chocolate sprinkles...not sure about that. As I write this she is making that same coffee right now. YUCK. After that we headed to Ralph's for some oranges for our blue moon and some stuffing to stuff the bird (which we named Susie Bell). Ralph's was another adventure. As we were walking to the car we were approached by a man in a Bud Light uniform. (They have good benefits.) He walks up....
Bud Light Guy: "Do you ladies need any help?"
Us: No thanks. We go it.
Bud Light Guy talking to Kirsten: "I'm sorry for staring at you but you are just so cute. You are probably taken right?"
Kirsten: Yes, I am married.
Bud Light Guy: "Sorry."
All the while Mara is cracking up. We get in the van and we just look at each other and say OMG! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Ok, I didn't have on any makeup and my hair wasn't even close to done. But, it was a nice start to the day.
The rest of the day consisted of making cheesy potatoes and movies and Coke's shaped like ornaments. We used a bendy straw which totally made the Coke taste better. So, that night we decided we needed a tablecloth. We made a mad dash over to Party City and wouldn't ya know...$5 Pochahotass costumes. Yes, we bought them. After laughing hysterically for nearly nearly 45 minutes we headed to In and Out (where it's not so In because it takes forever to get out). On the way home we rehearsed our rap skills. We are now....Team Take-a Take-a Takedown. (Laughing hysterically.) That was good times. We are in fact considering sitting in the driveway and reliving it.
On to Thanksgiving....Turkey Fat Kid Day
Woke up at 8 and prepared. Drank coffee and before you know it was 11 am and we almost forgot to put the turkey in the oven. OMG! Everything was smooth sailing until 10 minutes to 3 when EVERYONE showed up at the same time and then insisted on standing in the kitchen during crunch time. Not appreciated. LOL We greeted our guests in our Pochahottie costumes. We received several OMG's and laughter. It was fantastic. Then...Robert said grace and we ate ourselves stupid and watched some football. (Mara is currently insisting that I put whip cream in my coffee because it will change my life.) We were so full we couldn't even eat dessert. So, we'll have it for breakfast today. We watched Sunshine Cleaning and Baby Mama! HAHAHAHA! Then off to bed.
Today is Friday and she has to go to the airport at 10:30 pm. I am NOT looking forward to her leaving. That is craptastic. :o(
Mara: "But I'll be back!"
