So yesterday I wrote about how I go Christmas shopping for my sister, and end up keeping everything I buy.... Well, it happened again!
Last night Ken and I went to Stratford Square Mall to do a little shopping and then go see the movie Footloose. We went into a few stores, and I picked out a few things that I thought she would really like. Turns out I liked them too. I bought her 3 gifts and decided to keep 2 for myself.
Now I have a cute new pair of shoes and a scarf. To top it off I am wearing the scarf today! ha ha.
What I really need to do is shop for her at the last possible second, that way I don't have any other choice but to give them to her!
The biggest disappointment that night was the movie. I had such high expectations, and it didn't come close to them. It was kind of cool though, we were the only ones in the theater because the Twilight Saga came out at midnight so everyone there was standing in line for that movie.
Even though I really wanted to go see that movie, I did not envy the people standing in line for 4 hours. Every morning I wake up between 4 and 4:30... I only would have gotten about 2 hours of sleep. NO THANK YOU!
Today is going to be a good day for me. I can already tell.
Hardy breakfast, a 5hour energy, and freight. :-)
Please call me if you need any assistance.
And always feel free to check out our website and other blogs!
Have a great day!

Holiday Madness
Good Morning!
I want to start of by saying I am in love with this new App that I downloaded. It is a Christmas list organizer. You can enter everyone that you have to shop for, gifts purchased, gift ideas, and helps you stay within your budget. It is the best $1.99 I've ever spent. It's called MGifts.
I tend to forget what I've already bought, and have forgotten people in the past. So this is a huge life saver! My family always goes all out on Christmas. And now that I have 3 Christmas's to prepare for... I don't have time to make those mistakes. Especially since I now host one as well.
I have to shop for 18 people and 9 dogs. And because we get so into it, I have to get at least 3 gifts per person/pet. Part of that has to do with my inability to stay in control at the stores but the other reason is because I am a little bit of a control freak and believe that each person should unwrap 3 gifts.
One thing that I need to make sure doesn't happen this year is buying things I like for my sister. We have extremely similar taste in technology, clothes, shoes, etc. so I always go shopping and then decide that I want to keep everything I bought her. So I do. And then I have to go back to the store to get her presents. Ha ha.
Even though it can sting a little when you swipe that magic plastic card through the machine, when I see my family open their gifts and see their reaction... Nothing makes me happier.
Christmas is coming up fast, so even though I am partly in denial about it being winter already, I am very excited.
Let's not forget about the big Thanksgiving Feast! The countdown has begun!
Let's get all of your shipping taken care of so you can relax on the holidays with your family!
Call me if you need any hotshots, airfreight, full truck load, or local shipping!

Bustin' It
So as many of you know, I am a very dedicated fan of P90X.
This morning was Core Synergistics. For this workout you basically have to flex every muscle the entire time. In my previous track I did not have to do this workout, but now that I am starting Doubles (working out twice a day) I now have to do this one.
As you do each DVD your performance gets better and better. Some of which is because you are becoming more physically fit, but a lot of it has to do with being able to predict the next move. Today I could not do this. It was so hard for me that I was exhausted and disappointed. I feel like it was the first time I had ever worked out. All of my coordination and balance was gone, and I couldn't do any of the advanced moves. :-(
I was moving around like a chicken with their head cut off. Not something anyone wants to see! ha ha.
Sometimes that happens, sometimes you can't predict what will be coming your way. Weather it be exercising, work, or just life in general.
One thing that I am most proud of is being able to be the one to help someone in need. The service we provide is not typical everyday freight. I am always there for my customers when standard LTL doesn't cut it. I am here to help solve problems by finding a solution that fits the needs of each customer. And it is the best feeling when someone comes to you all frantic and you are able to relieve stress and they know that it will be done. Properly.
K&L is a great company with employees that dedicate their lives to this industry.
When things get crazy, I am the one you want to call!

Happy Monday!
Good Morning and Happy Monday!
I hope you had a nice weekend. After church yesterday, my buddy Bob and I were surprised by our wives when they told us that the 4 of us were going to lunch at an Indian restaurant down the street. I was pleasantly surprised while Bob met this with a little trepidation as he’d never had this cuisine before. Being a good trooper and understanding that we don’t get that opportunity too often, he jumped at the chance.
As we sat together after hitting the buffet line, Bob looked at the variety of food on my plate, pointed to it and asked, “What is all that?” I smiled and shrugged, “I have no idea.. but it’s good.” I guess I was overheard by the proprietor of this fine establishment, as he came over and graciously explained some of the dishes we were eating including a little cultural lesson behind the food. Fun times… middle aged America meets the travel channel.
Let the week begin!
Please keep in mind that we have equipment available for hotshots, locals and airport drops and recoveries from our stations in:
ORD, DFW, LAX, CLT, RDU, SMF, SFO, PHX, SEA, LAX, SAN, PHX, SLC, DEN, ELP, ATL, EWR, DTW, MEM, STL, MSP

Free Puppies!
So yesterday I was driving home from the grocery store and I saw a lady standing on the side of a street with a sign that said FREE PUPPIES! It wasn't for a pet shop or anything she just had a cardboard box with little puppy heads sticking out of it.
Of course I had to pull over and see them, and I was inches away from buying a little baby Husky, but then I remembered that I already have a dog and live in a 2 bedroom apartment... That doesn't leave me with very much space! So sadly I walked away from this adorable black and white little boy that was being sold for $100.00 :-( That is such a good deal too!
I am a huge sucker for dogs. I love them more than anything. Everyone in my family makes fun of me saying that instead of being the crazy cat lady, I will be the crazy dog lady. Sometimes I watch Animal Hoarders TV show and could really see myself like that. 50 dogs all at once. Totally a possibility.
Just in case anyone is curious! The Easton Corbin concert was absolutely amazing! He was so good live, and the opening band Dirt Drifters was good as well. That was the first time I had ever been to Joe's Bar, and I defiantly have to go back for more shows!
The rest of my weekend was pretty relaxing, the only thing I did besides eat and sleep was go to Costco and Jewel. Costco was fun, they sell 48 packs of 5hour energies. I shouldn't be tired for the next 2 months! ha ha. I also bought a huge roast that I will be cooking for the 90min. special episode of Sons of Anarchy tomorrow night.
I wanted to make something special because a lot of crazy things are going to happen in this episode and it will just top off a perfect evening.
- If you don't know or have never herd of Sons of Anarchy, you are missing out! Season 4 is almost over, but there is nothing better than spending an entire weekend on your couch watching multiple seasons of a TV show. No commercials, and you don't have to wait a week for the next episode.
Let's have a great week!
Please call for any questions, quotes, or just to chit-chat!
