The Cat's Meow

So this past weekend was very eventful!

Saturday our team (Team Kim) had a yard sale to raise money for Relay for Life. It started at 6:30am and we didn't really get anybody until around 8:00am, so we were a little worried that it wasn't going to be successful. But, no worries because people showed up in waves and we sold a large amount of our stuff! I believe our team raised over $1,200 with the stuff from the yard sale, baked goods, donations, and raffle tickets! Good for us!

After the yard sale, Jonathan and I went to go look at some kittens that were being given away. We have been thinking about getting a cat for awhile, but needed to get a small cat because of the chinchillas. We figured if it was smaller than them then it wouldn't try to attack them or try to be the dominant animal. And we found our kitten! She is so precious! I just love her! The first day she was very timid and wouldn't leave our side. Now she is starting to explore the apartment and getting into stuff. But when she wants to sleep, she cuddles with us. It's so adorable. We have yet to name her. Jonathan wants to name her "cat" like Audrey Hephburn does on "Breakfast at Tiffany's" but I don't like it. Hopefully we can find another name soon. Look how adorable she is! She is even smaller than our remote control!






This is what she looks like right now. Super cute!

Mamma Mia!

What a weekend!

On Saturday I went with my mom and sister to Hollywood to see our third play, Mamma Mia! It was amazing and such a great time! I truly enjoy spending quality time with my mom and sister and we really don't do it often enough.

We ate lunch at a new restaurant called "Grub" in Hollywood, CA. They have amazing food and its such a cute little place! They also have quite a humorous view of their menu.

We then went to the play! It was amazing! Although, I don't understand how anybody thinks it is okay to leave your cell phone on during a play! People pay $75 a ticket to go see it and you leave on your cell phone! Not only that, but the lady next to me actually talked on hers! Oye! Also, she decided it was okay to open candy wrapper or something that made that noise for about 15 minutes. I was very upset.

BUT at least the play was good.

After the play, my mom took us SHOE SHOPPING at Off Broadway Shoes. This place was the biggest shoe store I have ever seen in my life! The prices weren't the best I have ever seen but there was every shoe there that you could imagine! I found the cutest shoes that I have ever seen and I feel completely in love! They were about $50, but so worth it! Jonathan says that they are "so me"! haha



I quick and secret picture I took of Off Broadway Shoes. The picture does not really do the size of this place justice!



My beautiful Martinez Valero shoes! Love them!



These are the tennis shoes I got too. Yay for new tennis shoes!


On the way home we stopped at at Valencia and ate dinner at a yummy Chinese restaurant called "Pick up Stix" (no pictures of this place). I wish we had one in Bakersfield! It was a big step up from Panda Express but was affordable. I got the Shrimp and Vegetables with brown rice and an egg roll. It probably wasn't the healthiest meal they had there, but I felt good about it. And since I was so good (and Baskin Robbins was a few stores down), we got ice cream too! I had the Icing on the Cake (OMG! OMG! OMG!) and it was unbelievably yummy!


It was such a great trip and I can't wait to see what our last play has in store next month!

My day

Sorry the for long hiatus in between posts, there really has not been anything exciting to blog about lately.

Well today is April 17th or "my" day as I call it. It is my name and my favorite number together. I hope for good things to happen on this day, but so far nothing. I didn't get called in this morning to substitute (darn it!), but I guess that might be a good thing because I can enjoy some time to myself. We will see what tonight has in store though.

I haven't really been working lately. I wish I was though, I definitely need the money. But it is towards the end of the year which means testing and last minute projects to get finished, so teachers tend to stay at school.

I still need to find something to do over the summer.


I've been working on my house aka the Endless Project! One day it will be finished and look amazing. I'm a pack rat which means that I have a lot of clutter. I've been working on all of that and actually finding a place for everything. If I can't find a place for it, it goes. We are having a yard sale for Relay for Life next Saturday, so the proceeds can go to that. I've already gotten rid of a lot of stuff, so that is good.

My grandpa was a outpatient at Cedar Sinai Hospital so we went to see him last Monday (Jonathan, Alex, and I). It was nice to spend some time with him, I just wished he didn't have to go through all the cancer treatments. But whatever makes him better!

He was home in time for Easter which was amazing! I did something I never have done before, I made a cake! Now, I know I'm 24 and should be able to cook. I am aware of this, but I am still learning how to cook and all that. I also made cupcakes! My husband was thrilled to come home to the smell of something baking and that made me happy.

My cake and cupcakes! They were yummy!

I am teaching a friend's child how to read though. We are starting out with learning the letters first and its really exciting. She is getting it really well. I'm sure she is just a super smart kid, but I like to believe that I am able to teach her.

I love teaching! <3

Spring is here!

Isn't it wonderful?

I love the weather during the spring time! I wish I would have taken a picture of the weather today, but I didn't. It was windy anyway, but it was pretty.

Not too much has happened in the past week, but I have lots of things to be excited about.

First of all, I crossed something else off of my 100 things to do in 365 days list!

On Thursday, April 2nd, Jonathan and I went to a surprise party for a friend's husband at T-Bones. I didn't drink because we took separate cars so I was 100% sober and despite that fact, I got up in front of a room full of people and sang karaoke! I even sang the "Thong Song" and knew ALL the words! It was great!

The girls talked me into it



Amy, me, Jodi, and Sarah



It was SO fun!



Even Jonathan went up there! haha


So add that to number 12!




Besides that, I am so excited for the expectant arrival of my friends' baby! I can't wait to meet the little guy and it should be any day now!


I don't really have any plans for Spring Break except for getting my house cleaned up and hopefully having lunch with some friends this week! Hopefully I will be able to cross more stuff off my list this week!

Okay this blog was kind of pointless, but I was overdue for a blog and needed to share my hilarious karaoke photos!!

What are your plans for "Spring Break"?
