It Never Fails

Last night was a very long and uneventful night for me.

As many of you know, I currently do not have feeling in my left leg due to a pinched nerve in my hip. I was doing my second workout of the day with P90X, everything was going fine. The workout was Back and Biceps and I was doing what they call Lawnmowers and I felt a little pop in my left arm. After pausing for a second I realized that my arm had gone numb as well. So I now have 2 pinched nerves on my left side. Luckily it doesn't hurt so even though it is probably not a good idea to keep going, I will.

Doing this program is more mental for me than it is physical. I do not like to stop things half way through. Sometimes I can be very stubborn :) It was the way I was raised.

Not only was it the way I was brought up, but it is also the base to what K&L stands for.

We are a family business that has made great successes over the years. The reason for these successes are simple. We do not give up. We like to call ourselves "Problem Solvers". When there is a problem or an extremely urgent shipment that may seem impossible at first glance. We are all willing and able to think outside of the box so that we can meet your needs. There is never only 1 solution to a problem. And we will find the best solution that will get your product from point A to point B safely and timely.

We may not be the every day carrier, but when it gets down to the wire, we are the best.

With the year coming to an end, things get crazy. I am here to help you 24/7.

Designer Christmas Tree?

The other night we put up our Christmas tree. I didn’t know there were “designer color themes” for trees. All I cared about was that my Chicago Bears ornament, the Somebody in Cincinnati Loves Me ornament, and my lucky golden golfball ornament made it on the tree. Unfortunately, since these didn’t meet the color pallet requirements I was vetoed, however arrangements have been made for a second tree that will be decorated with my oddball trinity. I assumed my normal duties for this event.

After bringing the boxes of decorations, I set up the tree, untangled the lights and got the heck out of the way. From that point, it was pure bliss for me to watch my lovely wife decorate the tree all the while old holiday music played bringing fond memories of Christmas days of old. Watching her laser-focus decorating that tree was like watching an artist paint a fresh canvas or like watching a hall of fame bound quarterback orchestrate a 90 yard, game winning, scoring drive with less than two minutes remaining. Beautiful.

I pray that you all have a similar Kodak moment.

Fake-Cation!

After a nice long fake-cation, I am back and ready to rumble.

*I say fake-cation because I didn't actually go anywhere besides the mall!

I took a few days to get a head start on all of the Holiday madness! As of right now I am about 65% done with Christmas shopping!

Everything is running very smoothly so far except for one minor detail. I wanted to get my Christmas tree and other decorations set up but I can not get to them! Apparently you have to have a key to get into the room that has my "locker.'" Their is only 1 key per floor. So I have to wait for someone to return the key to the main lobby. This could take weeks! If I don't ask for the key at the perfect time someone else will taken and keep it for a few more days. And that my friends really grinds my gears!

This storage locker also contains my wrapping paper! So I can not start wrapping until I get the key either! I would just go and buy more, but I have a life time supply that I got from Costco last winter so I can not get myself to make any unnecessary purchases. Ha ha.

Even though my decorations are not set up, I am defiantly feeling the Christmas Spirit this year! We have our K&L Christmas Party in a few weeks, and the Annual Cookie Baking Day this weekend.

Cookie Baking Day is the one of the best and worst days of my life. All of the girls in my family get together and we bake cookies ALL DAY! We start at like 9am and don't finish until like 11-12pm. We make every single type of cookie you can think of; snicker doodles, gingerbread, potato chip cookies, kolaczkis, chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, cream cheese cookies, and the list goes on. It is so much fun to get together with my family and eat warm cookies all day, but at the end of the day we are all so over tired and stuffed that we can't physically do anything for the next 24 hours.

Holiday traditions are the best. If you have any unique activities or traditions feel free to comment on our blog page or shoot me an email!

If you need any assistance with hot shots, full truck load, heavy weight partials, air freight, or local work please feel free to contact me! Everything gets crazy around this time of year, so let me help take one more thing off of your plate!

Have a great day!
