Late Night with Nikki

Nikki Byrd, you'll love her!  I met Nikki back in North Carolina when she and Andrew worked together at NC State's Vet School.  As my Mom would say, she has a sweet tea smile! I think that just means her smile is as sweet as sweet tea.  And if you are from the South, y'all know that can be pretty sweet.  Nikki's laugh is contagious and infectious, so watch out! It'll get you! So anyway, normally when you talk to Nikki she does a lot of the talking and you do a lot of the laughing.  She'll have you in stitches before the night is over.  Here were a few of our conversations from Saturday night.  If y'all don't find them funny then I guess you just had to be there.  Either way Nikki Byrd is a gem and by default a part time comedian. 

Nikki was telling us about someone having a pet Geico.  We informed the soon to be vet that a Geico is for car insurance and that normally Geckos are the pets. She really thought they were Geicos.

"Someone asked me what kind of vet I wanted to be. You know what I told them? I told them I wanted to do cats, only cats. Like I wanna own my own cat clinic one day...you know what's funny about that? They believed me!"

"I'm so glad to eat something for once that isn't microwavable" we had orded Chinese take out

Nikki and I were polishing off the rest of the chocolate cake from the Marriott and:
Emily- Here Nikki, you have the last bite
Nikki - (without hesitation) SURE!!

Andrew was washing a few dishes after supper:
"Look Emily! It's girl porn!" - She was referring to Andrew washing the dishes....

Conversation about living in the Caribbean:
Emily - It's kinda like make-believe
Andrew- I feel like this is a dream
Nikki - This is a Nightmare!

Nikki and I made plans to go to the store for groceries tomorrow.  Andrew said he wasn't going and Nikki insisted that he come and when Andrew asked "Why?" Nikki said "Because someone has to carry our bags"

Nikki and I were coming back from town Friday morning and stopped at the guard station to show our ID's.  None of the spouses have their ID's yet, so I was explaining the piece of paper I had was sufficient for being a spouse to the guard.  The guard then looked at me and then at Nikki, then back to me and then to Nikki again.  Nikki then yells out with eyes as big as fried eggs and shaking her head "She's not my spouse!!" "No way!!" The guard just laughed and shrugged his shoulders and said whatever and waved us on...



Oh and Nikki has plans of opening an Ikea here in St. Kitts - I wish her luck....
