My Hotel Balcony

Real estate is clearly hard to come by at the Embassy Suites in San Luis Obispo. See below: This is the amount of room available on the balcony in my hotel room. Fitting just my shoe (not even my stomach these days) this balcony is extremely non-functional. It may only be beat by those hotel rooms that have a balcony but you can only open up the door 4 inches.

As Seen On The Central Coast

For Mom, for Jenn and for Laura:

Welcome To Moose Flats

Ya'll know I have been farming. What you don't know is that I have also been cooking in Cafe World. So I roped a couple of people into the Cafe one of whom was my mother. The default name of your cafe is "Kim's Cafe" or "Carol's Cafe", I have not changed mine but Mom has.....

Mom (a lover of Moose) has renamed her Cafe to "Moose Flats". She has modified her cafe to include two moose heads and has modern lodge-type decor. I have no doubt that this Cafe is located in Jackson Hole Wy or Grand Teton National Park.

Just in case you missed it :) Shake Whatcha Got Hula

The Stroller Tram

Last month Mom and I took the kids to Disneyland for Rachel's birthday. While waiting for the tram we realized that due to construction the tram was not loading like it normally did and because that those with strollers were having to wait forever.

I mentioned this to the tram worker and then mom started to complain a bit and the guy was like "look, I'll get you on the next one for sure". Well, he kept his commitment, not sure how happy everyone else was though.

As Seen In Ontario Intl Airport Bathroom

I saw three of these signs in the bathroom at Ontario airport. On each one someone had decided that the CDC instructions weren't enough and they wrote in "Wash for at least 20 seconds" RO! I can't believe someone took the time to write in their two cents. I decided that I should continue to spread the news and so here you go blog readers:

Nevada Hair

Before I even get started let me say that some of the most beautiful chicks (with good hair too) I know live in Nevada but I thought this was hysterical.

My conversation at 7am Thursday morning with Queen B (over text):

Kim: I have terrible hair today
Queen B: I had high hopes for mine today
Kim: LOL
Queen B: Didn't measure up though
Kim: Mine is truly terrible and the worst part is I am on my way to Reno
Queen B: It's ok, there are no expectations of good hair in Nevada

and a few minutes later:

Queen B: Send me a pic
Kim:

I'm Two!

Happy Birthday, Elizabeth!!!!! David, Aunt Shi and Sydney Thomas all love you very very much! You are a very special little girl and you couldn't possibly be any cuter.

Homecoming King Crowned!

James is the MHS Homecoming King!

What's Changed In 784 Days?

The last time I was in Reno was 784 days ago, August 22, 2007 to be exact. There were many changes that I observed during my visit today. FSO has a new office, the technology kiosk in the airport has been updated as the Best Buy Express kiosk, the bathroom cupboard has been restocked with lots of girly items (Love that bathroom!) and Tricia actually has an office! Yeah!

The most notable change was in the airport. The Christmas trees have finally been replaced with a campfire area. The backdrop is now a beautiful summer scene. I wonder if the backdrop will change for winter? I hope so, I sort of missed the trees :(

Great trip to Reno! Wonderful seeing everybody and being in Reno just puts me in an all around good mood! My promise is public and realistic, make it back in less than 364 days.

Happy Birthday, Kim! (And Kelly)

The Zoo Lego Set

Elizabeth received this lego set from my parents for her birthday. While playing with it I observed that there is legos for food (Note the raw meat being eating by the tiger in the top left)

As I made this observation one of the guests at the party commented "Well they have to meat otherwise they'll eat the children" LOL

Happy Anniversary

To Kim and Matt (In May), Rachel and Kevin (In September) and Becca and Jason (Today)

Which One Did KT Pick To Read?

A Trip To The Pumpkin Patch

Yesterday we took a trip to Oak Glen (for Apples) and then the Pumpkin Patch in Redlands. We had a great time and I would suggest this for anyone in Southern California. Both the kids and the adults had a blast!

New Bathroom Photo

As most of you know, I have a fairly healthy collection of public bathroom photos. Still, the collection additions have somewhat tapered off lately. I was in this bathroom today and just had to take a picture of the soap dispenser.

Just to be clear that is mold all around the inside of the dispenser and yes the dispenser is sitting inside a very rusty can.

Super Busy Day

Shopping.....Visiting Kim and Micah.....Jenn's Southern California Shower.....Joshua and Elizabeth's birthday party. It was a long day but a good one!

Left the house at 10:32AM

Arrived home at 8:07PM

Exhausted

From: Kim Thomas

Today, I received the following email at my kim.thomas email address:

I was copied on this email. How could a Kim Thomas copy the wrong Kim Thomas? I guess she doesn't know her email address or she's just jealous of mine.

I think everybody should call her, especially since we know she is available.

Flashback Friday (36)

Wednesday Night In Phoenix

My evening started out at Coronado Cafe with Diane. I have only been here a handful times but the food is great and the atmosphere is even better. We had a great meal and conversation and she had me at the hotel by 7:00PM.

I walked into the hotel and saw a sign "Welcome Hilton Honors Guests, our guest of the day is Kimberly T" Nice! What a great surprise. The guest of the day receives a sign in the lobby (love that), an Arizona Iced Tea, Arizona chocolate bar, Arizona salsa and a bag of Doritos. Too Cool!

I went to the room and began catching up on some work. I was reading some email and having a BBM conversation with Sara when I got my second surprise. Four of my favorite people showed up at the hotel for a visit. They stayed and chatted for a little awhile and then headed home. I got a great break and then went back to doing some work, a little farming and watched some Nancy Grace. (Never watched her before she is such a b....)

Happy Birthday, Laura!

KT now harvesting in Asia, Dora for US President.

Now I Get It! They're Really Pool Guys

It's Fun Hanging Out With Aunt Rachel

Meet Michele

Michele is from North Carolina. Michele's last name starts with a "B". Michele uses Verizon Wireless. Michele has short blond hair. Thats really all we know.

She emailed me her "try to look hot" pictures today at my thechamp email address. Clearly and once again, I was not the intended recipient. I responded to Michele and let her know that these were received by someone else but that I thought she looked hot.

Good luck on the relationship hunting! P.S. If you are interested in Michele please let me know and I'll pass on her number.

4 on 10/4 (Happy Birthday, Joshua)

"Carol" Premiering October 16th

To my surprise she agreed to this picture with almost no resistance.

We Don't Yet Know Her Name

On November 19, 2007 I announced on this blog that Sydney was on her way. Today, I am announcing that a soon to be named girl is on her way! Last Monday, David and I went to the doctor expecting an ultrasound to find out the sex. The doctor said "We'll do it next time, at 22 weeks". Figures, 22.

Saturday morning I woke up and decided I couldn't wait any longer. The only way around waiting was to go and get a 3D Ultrasound. After Sydney's 3D Ultrasound I swore I wouldn't get another one but I changed mine and decided to get the "gender determination" package. This is the cheapest package that basically gives the sex and a couple of photos. She did better than Sydney did on her 3D Ultrasound. You could see her face, soft spot, arms and legs and definitely tell that she was a she.

We were all shocked that it was a girl-everyone was expecting this arrival to be Steven. Her name is not even close to being decided but Cannon is in the lead. Suggestions????
