How To Get Covered Parking In Phoenix
Summertime in AZ means covered parking is extremely important. There is a parking structure behind the data center that historically has been known to be hard to obtain acesss for (like you have to BE someone to get parking) but the truth is all you need to do is ask for access and it is granted. Yesterday, I noticed that there may be an additional requirement: Personalized License Plate

Message To Hermosa Vista: It's June, In Mesa AZ
I must bring you the latest email from the Hermosa Vista distribution list. It was received today at 5:40 PM at which time it was 106 degrees in Mesa (and there was an excessive heat warning in effect). Here's the email (I have only removed the persons name and email address):
I will have wool blankets at my home next Wednesday. I will have the one we are ordering and the Others for comparison. Please feel free to stop by my home at (Address). To see them if you are interested. I work. I would not be available until evening. I will wait and let you know when to give me money. When we can get enough orders to meet the minimum requirements then I will go forward with this person who will order them. Thanks (Name)

What An FSO Associate Dreams About.....
This morning I recevied the following email from an FSO lead (and I seriously laughed) The name has been changed to protect his identity:
From: Jack Bauer
To: Kim Thomas
Subject: Weird Stuff
So… last night you were in my dream…
You picked me up in an SUV and we went to a concert in an outdoor stadium (I don't who it was but it was big, like the Rolling Stones or Aerosmith). We talked all along the way, but I don't what about.
Someone was in our seats but they moved as soon as we arrived. After we took our seats you handed me some money and asked me to get a 3-foot submarine sandwich - you asked for it by name, but I don't remember what it was called.
I had to go to the opposite side of the stadium to get it and there was a long line (it went out the stadium). I managed to get to the front (by not standing in line!) and placed the order, but the making of the sandwich was taking a long time. You showed up after awhile and gave the Chinese man making the sandwich an extra $5 dollar bill to hurry up - which he did and he gave me the sandwich.
Then my alarm clock went off…
Have a great day!

I Just Got Back From Bora Bora
Officer #1: Where are you headed?
Tarzan: The Southwest, Phoenix but that isn't interesting. I just got back from Bora Bora. You have to go there, officer!
Officer #2 (who opens the back of the car): Really, is that right?
Tarzan: Oh yeah, you can't even imagine how incredible it is until you are there
Officer #2: So how long were you gone
Tarzan: Two weeks-it was incredible, you have to go
Officer #2: What was incredible?
Tarzan: The water was so blue, the best beach you have ever been to is toilet water compared to Bora Bora
Officer #2: I hate toilet water
Tarzan: Toilet water is terrible
Officer #2: I like bottled water
Tarzan: Bora Bora is so cool, I just got back from there!
Officer #2: I'm thirsty
Tarzan: Bora Bora rocks, you must go there
**At this point KT takes out camera and takes picture number one**
**Officer #1 asks KT for camera and KT thinks he is confiscating it**
**Officer #1 takes picture #2 and hands camera back to Jane**

While Laura is Vacationing Something You May Not Have Known (Kim Version) Day 4
Sometimes she makes odd purchases, like this dresser. We found this at the Goodwill (I am sure you are all surprised by that) and it was really a piece of work. LOL

The Sixth MHS Graduate
Today, James became the sixth Evans to graduate from Maranatha High School. James was born while I was at MHS and 19 years later, he graduated from there. Our family has had someone in attendance almost every year for the last 21 years and our parents have sacrificed well over $125,000 to see their children receive a great education.
Becca, Matt, Rachel and I attended MHS when it was at the old elementary school in Sierra Madre, Andrew attended at the lame transition campus and James attended on the awesome college-like campus in Pasadena. The new campus served him well. He followed in Becca's footsteps by becoming a chaplain and in all other ways he outshined us. He ran cross-country, played soccer and Mens Volleyball. He participated in the school play, took a social conscience trip to Europe and organized many events. He is also the only one of us who had to do Capstone. Today he welcomed everyone to the graduation and was responsible for the invocation-he did a great job. By the way, he had a high school GPA of 4.089.
Congratulations, James. You Rock!!!! And Mom and Dad, You Rock too-thanks!!!!!

While Laura is Vacationing Something You May Not Have Known (Kim Version) Day 3
She abhors ice chewing. When flying she always ask for her drink with "no ice". We used to work with an ice chewer and Laura would strategically sit as far away from the person as she could during meetings. I am also an ice chewer so I have to be very careful not to chew ice around her. Really....she hates it so much it could potentially end the friendship.
