Jo's Kitchen (and yes, the coffee IS on...)

[Zimmeh]

Good Morning Everyone,

Hope you all are having a good start to your day. It got so hot in my house lastnight, that I woke up at 430am and I have been up since. Lisa is trying to save electricity, but what she doesn't realize, the longer that a/c unit is running to keep the house cool, the more it is going to cost her. I cannot wait to start college and meet new ppl.

I am thinking a light breakfast to start with this morning. How about some cold cereal, fresh fruit, coffee, tea, milk, sodas and juice?

Have fun!

Good morning everyone :)

:bringcoffee: Coffee and tea is refreshed and I'm with you on the light breakfast Zimmy :eating:

I'm meeting a friend/co-worker for an early lunch at Ruby Tuesdays (love their salad bar) so don't want to eat anything heavy to start the day.

Scoote bundled me off to bed early, which was much needed. Thank you baby :lips: ...and I'm glad she came in and fed you all :)

We have our fingers crossed on the house...now if we could just get some straight answers from someone, anyone...that would be great. This whole "short sale" thing is a combined blessing and curse....crazy regulations and slow as molasses in winter, but also a nice house at a really good price. And Scoote is right, I do love this house...fireplace to curl up in front of on a winter evening, nice pool in a privacy fenced yard (skinny dipping yay!), beautiful kitchen, and a truly gigantic master bedroom for us. The kids would even have good sized bedrooms...so many houses we saw had great master bedrooms and then these tiny little boxes for the kids...not great for a pair of teenage boys.

The finger crossing for today though is mostly for Scoote's doctor appointment. I nagged her into going (cuz she needs to) and I'm hoping he can help get rid of her pain. I hear you Jake...I always worry about anything relating to the spine...just so easy to screw things up in a big way.

Okay I'm off to get some work done before my lunch "meeting"....she's a co-worker, although now on another team, so we can pretend we're working :giggle:

Hope you all have a great day! :rrose:

And :kissy: for you baby....hope it all goes well at the doctor :stillheart:

[scootebaby]

Hey scoote,

That is good news as to the house being pulled from the market.. I feel for you... on the waiting and all of that.. just keep your eye on the prize.. and I am sending good thoughts and vibes to both of you..

It has been hot and muggy here for weeks.. and we have no end in sight.. we are supposed to have the hotness through this week.. with thunderstorms thrown in.. we most likely will not cool down here .. until late August.. early September.

I also know of the back pain as well. I had a disc herniate and had to have surgery for it. I waited 4 years though before I had it.. it finally got the point where I could not bend over and tie My shoes. The bad part is.. when it comes to back surgery.. they are never really sure if it will help. .or make it worse.. kind of scary when you think about it.. given they are messing with your spinal column.

I hope you are having a peaceful night.. and Jo is getting plenty of rest.


Good Morning Jake.....i dunno where u are,but sounds a lot like Florida....altho i dont think it cools down here till end of Sept or into Oct---hell its already 84 here and feels 90

They tell me surgery wont work..I hurt my back at work about 3 yrs ago--herniated one disc and bulged the other,which,when inflamed,pushes against my S1 nerve...does funky things to my back and legs...plus i have degenerative disc disease soooooo...

anyway gonna go finish my V-8 then go wash myself i reckon...should smell good for the strange man who will be pushing and possibly sticking needles in my back

hope everyone has a great day

and to you baby :rrose: love you

Good Evening Everyone,

I am babysitting Elijah overnight. His mother went into early labor today and her stepdad is taking her to the hospital. She is not sure if the dr's are going to stop her contractions or let her go all of the way. If they do, her little boy Caleb will be born soon...

Dinner is light to! I am thinking of salads with assorted lunch meat, cheeses, veggies, dressings<organic and regular> and croutons.

Have a good night and I will let you all know if they let Lisa have her baby or make her wait another three weeks...

Zimmy

[JustJo]

Good evening all :)

I'm going to add some nice homemade mac & cheese to the salad selection, and a nice homemade apple pie for dessert. :eating:

Busy, productive day today for work and another one on tap for tomorrow. The son and I go to get our eyes checked tomorrow adn I know there are new glasses in store for him at least.

As it turns out we have a new asset manager working on our house purchase, and they're now saying we should have an answer by the end of the week or early next week. My fingers will be crossed until then...

Hope everyone had a great day :rrose:

:lips: baby.... :stillheart:

Hey scoote,

I am in upstate NY...and one would think given we are up north that we would less humidity... nothing could be further from the truth.. when it gets hot here.. it gets hot.. I slept with the a/c on last night which I rarely do because I am going to get "sticker shock" on the next electric bill. However, I refused to wake up in the middle of night with My skin feeling like it is on fire.. and My body temp runs warmer anyhow. It is easier for Me to warm up than cool down.

I had surgery in 07 on My L5 disc it was an L5-S1 discotomy. So essentially the same thing you have right now. The L5 disc herniated and was sitting right on top of the S1 nerve. I waited 4 years to have the surgery done because rarely is back surgery successful. I have to tell you though My back hurts alot less today than pre-surgery. However, it has not take all of the pain away. I think that is a given though. They never guarantee back surgery will be successful like they do other surgeries. It is always hit or miss. I have disc degeneration as well. I found that out last year. They did not find it initially when I had the surgery. But, for Me today it is definitely more manageable and not debilitating at all.

I hope you got some decent news today from your doc's appointment.

Good Evening Jo,

Well that is good news that you have a new asset manager working on the house. Hopefully they will get things moving a little quicker for you both. I will keep you in My thoughts.. and cross everything I got.. ummmm. .. except the legs.. :blink:

[JakeTulane]

Good Evening wonderful kitchen peeps,

Ugh. Another muggy day here. I am SO over this. Beyond over it. However, by watching the nightly world news it seems I am not in the only state being hit with this ungodly heat and the heat index has been beyond scary. I am counting My blessings for the a/c.

Today was a busy and productive day. One filled with change .. all for the good. It ended with being invited to dinner by My Mom and she decided to make homemade pasta noodles. (I am italian). She has not made them in forever and they were oooooh so good.. they just put that boxed pasta to shame.

Ok I am off to peruse some more threads.

I hope every had a good day.. and is enjoying a peaceful evening.

Jake

[morningstar55]

Thanks for the effort dark_crystal (but I think you scared durrrrrrr) :giggle:

:bringcoffee: Sorry I missed breakfast...had to dash out early to an eye doc appointment for myself and the son. Turns out we both need new glassses, but mine only slightly and his quite a bit more so...so his are ordered and mine are "on hold" for just a bit. Got him transition lenses too to protect the little redhead's eyes from all that Florida sun. :beachkids:

I have to get to work, but I promise to make it up to you all at dinner time! :)

Good Evening DC,

Her hemaglobin and platelet count are really low so they are keeping her for the next five to seven days. I have a feeling, the dr's are going to take the baby earlier than August 25th to make sure they both are ok.

How is your weekend so far?

Zimmy, I hope your friend starts feeling better...it sure sounds like she's having a rough time of it, poor thing. It's good that you're there for Elijah and she doesn't have to worry about him being in good hands. Keep us posted on how she's doing. :rrose:

Durrrrrr I'm glad you got to enjoy your vacation with the Strutts...sure goes fast though, doesn't it?

Scoote and I are working on Plan B? C? D? Wow....not even sure which one by now. I'll be on the phone with the movers tomorrow....and hopefully will have some good news soon. My fingers are crossed...

Hope you all had a lovely weekend. :rrose:

:lips: baby....

[Zimmeh]

Good Evening Jo Jo,

They let her out of the hospital this afternoon, they still aren't sure what is wrong with her. I am teaching Elijah bad things, like how to stick his tongue out and play hide and seek. Lisa starts her maternity leave on this coming Sunday. Thanks for dinner! I am leaving some Blue Bell Banana Split ice cream to go with the strawberry shortcakes.

Good luck on the possible move!! When will you two officially know something?

Have a good night to you and Scoote,

I took today off work (although I do have to work on one document), because I'm feeling the need to do some more packing and organizing in preparation for this move. I've got a giant roll of bubble wrap for packing my glassware, and already packed a big bag of shoes before I even left my bedroom this morning. :)

Hope everyone has a great day! :rrose:

and :lips: to my :alarm: baby.... I love you :love1:


Yummmmmmmmmmmm.. french toast is My all time favorite breakfast.. thank you Jo. smiles.

I do not envy you as to the packing... and I will be doing it soon as well.. however, change is good.. and it just seems to happen when you least expect it. I hope the move goes without any major blips for you. I think you and scoote dealing with the house buying stuff has been enough frustration for anyone. nods.

As for Me.. today I have a couple of meetings.. and I need to start getting boxes together and get packing. This is a week of great change.. all for the better.. and I am looking forward to it.

did someone say yoga? with Mountain Star? *grins* (f)

I hope everyone had a great weekend. I am off for a shower and then off to get My day started.

Here is some more :tea: and :bringcoffee:.. it is Monday afterall.

Have a great day !! *waves to all the wonderful Kitcheen peoples*

[durrrrrrrr]

howdy everyone

Jo..yeah, vacations go by to fast.

Jo and Scoote, good luck to ya both on the house, moving...etc etc. I recently ( well, was year or so ) was sellin my house thru a short sale. i got lucky i think. it went quick compared to others. but, it had been on the market for sale for 2 years. was still in move in condition..etc etc. the bank gave me one hella break.

Zimmy...congrats on school and good luck.

Dark Crystal...um, thanks for the breakfast / dinner snack :winky:hope all is well with you

[JustJo]

Good evening everyone :)

I took myself out to the movies this afternoon...went to see The Kids Are All Right. Not great, not bad....but I needed the break.

Dinner tonight..since I'm on the "old fashioned" thing...meatloaf, baked mac and cheese, fresh peas with pearl onions and my homemade biscuits. :eating:

Dessert is ice cream again...unless someone comes and talks me into baking a hot fudge cake! :)

Hope you all had a good Monday :rrose:

Good that you could sell your house durrrrrrr. The short sale thing is tough. The one we're buying has been on the market over 3 years, and the sellers would like to get out as much as we'd like to get in. Makes me wish the banks could just move the paperwork faster!

Hugs to all.....and :lips: baby....good to know I'll always be taller than the animals, at least :giggle:

yeah, due to the economy...things just dont move as fast as they use to.

i bought a new truck about 2 months ago, and i put down money, plus i traded in my old truck. which equaled to about 60% of the financing for the truck. banks still turned me down. 2 out of 3 of them did... i was like..are ya f*ckin kiddin me? but, due to the short sale on my record..its the way it is. my sister-in-law works for a bank and she said that is how things are now adays...they just dont approve, sign the paper work and move to the next. takes a lot of time anymore. hopefully everything will soon work out for y'all

[Zimmeh]

Good Evening Everyone,

Thank you for dinner Jo Jo! The ice cream sounds delicious since I just got back from power walking. It felt good, to put my music on and wander aimlessly around the block for half an hour.

Sending you wishes that the bank hurries their slow arses up about this house so you and Scoot can be together...

Have fun tonight, I am baby free, woohoo..

Zimmy

[dark_crystal]

Dark Crystal...um, thanks for the breakfast / dinner snack :winky:hope all is well with you

Good Morning Everyone,

I am going to make sure there is plenty of extra strong coffee going this morning...What shall we have for breakfast? Hmm...how about omeletts<anyway you would like them>, cinnamon raisin toast, crispy hashbrowns, bacon, sausage, juice, tea and sodas?

Hope everyone had a good nights sleep and are having a good start to your Tuesday...Five days and counting til I meet up with some ppl from the dash site in Orlando...

See you all in a bit,

Good morning everyone :)

:bringcoffee: I see you've all put out a lovely breakfast, so let me just top up everyone's coffee! Thank you all so much...sounds delicious. :girleating:

I'm a bit flat out this morning, working on a deadline, but I'll be able to be a bit more leisurely once I get this done.

MountainStar...all the best on the new job - that's exciting! I hope it goes very well for you.

Thanks to all of you on the well wishes on the house. I just had an update from the realtor which is...no update. Evidently the new asset manager is still reviewing (sigh), but it's at least at the top of her stack. In the meantime, Scoote and I have decided to just say heck with it. I'm moving...we'll pack into her apartment...Rooster can camp on the couch...the cats will be cranky...the stuff will be in storage...and we're just gonna deal until the bank gets their paperwork in order. Soooooo.....I'm packing like a maniac, and the countdown clock this time isn't until a visit, but until we pack the car and drive away for good....in about 9 days. Wish me luck :seeingstars: :giggle:

Hope you all have a great day!

:lips: baby...will you still love me after I've pulled all my hair out? :love1:

[Zimmeh]

Jo Jo,

Have a safe trip down here. If you get a chance, you should go visit Cades Cove in Gatlinburg, TN. It is a gorgeous place and very historical. Here is their website..Enjoy: http://www.nps.gov/grsm/planyourvisit/cadescove.htm.

Have fun today,

[scootebaby]

poppin in real quick from work to see how everyone is doing....its been a downpour most of the day today....but we need it so wont complain

and Jo honey of course i will still love you--but i did speak to the owner of the wig shop in the plaza across the road from me...she said she would cut us a deal so no worries :)

and to Jake,DC,Zimmy and everyone else who is sending good vibes thank you..they are much needed and appreciated

soon i will be asking everyone to remind Jo that altho i appear to be possessed by Satan himself that im really not and it will all be ok once we are settled

ok i need to get back to work--hoping it stays quiet and uneventful the rest of day bc my back is being a major pita today!

[Zimmeh]

Scoote,

You are welcome...You two have been trying for a long time now to get this house, and unfortunately, the bank is dragging their heels. I meant to tell Jo Jo, that when she is coming down 95 through the Ormond Beach area, just past the US1 exit, FHP troopers sit in the trees on the left right before you get to the SR40 exit, so this way she doesn't get stopped for anything and there is some road work right after the LPGA Blvd exit. Hope she has a safe trip down from NY. If she needs anything, have her contact me. I will keep an eye out for any traffic changes on 95 and let her know.

Have fun at work, getting this Avon business going is rough...

seriously durrrrrr.. I am beyond over it.. I am scared to see what the electric bill is going to look like when it comes to the ac going.. the part I hate the most is trying to sleep when it is this muggy.. I was having this discussion with someone today.. that the weather patterns are off all over the place.. it really is a telltale sign of what global warming is doing to the Earth..

Be careful out in that heat.. and keep hydrated.

I am tired, so breakfast is going to be pancakes, toast, juice, coffee, tea, and sodas...

I am hoping my extra strong French Roast coffee will wake me up, or I won't be able to make it through today...

Have fun and I will see you all in a bit,

Good Morning Scoote,

I wouldn't mind the heat, if I had a/c in my car. I loved growing up in Daytona Beach and going to the beach as a kid, sans the sunburns.

Hope you two had a good night,

Zimmy

am i the only one that doesnt mind the heat?????

[JustJo]

Good morning all :)

I'll add some eggs and bacon to Zimmy's pancakes...and the extra strong coffee sounds good today.

MountainStar, I'm soooo glad you found the aluminum foil. Scoote cut me off! (Of foil, I mean) :giggle: Just muttered something about no one being fooled by my halo. Pfffftttt!

I've got soooooooo much to do to get ready to move, I may be a bit uneven in my time online. The drive-away date is looking really close, and most of the packing still needs to be done. I'm glad I gave away as much as I did though...I've been giving away bags and bags full, and carloads of books for quite awhile, not to mention bookcases, bbqs, air conditioners and everything else. At least it's a more manageable move now! :)

Hugs to everyone, and hope you have a great day! :rrose:

:lips: to my :alarm: baby....:stillheart: sleep, sleep, sleep....

Good Morning Jo Jo,

If you get hungry or just want to stop to stretch your legs on the way down, there is a Cracker Barrel right off of I-95 at the SR40 exit. It is to the right behind the McDonalds. Yes weeding threw belongings and donating most of it feels good. I was happy when I did it, for when I moved to Seattle, bc when I came back, I literally had one car load of stuff and thankful, my mom gave me most of my furniture back.

Have fun today and I am leaving you some more aluminum foil in ladies room..hehe..

Good Morning Zimmy.. smiles.

I am thinking once that French Roast kicks in.. you will be lightning fast through your day.. laughs. Especially if you made it in a french press. That is one thing I love about using them... it just makes the coffee alot stronger than drip makers.. even though you can regulate how much coffee and water you use in both. I think in a drip maker the coffee loses some of it's strength going through the drip process.

Is is sweltering down there today?

I hope you have a peaceful Hump Day.

Good Morning Jo,

Do I want to know the FULL story behind the aluminum foil? grins.

I am quite sure by now you are ready to have the whole move thing behind you. I have not even started packing yet.. and I want to be fully moved into My new place by the 20th. I need to get on it. I think I am going to enlist the help of My niece... she is a good worker.. and we have a great time when we are together. I am glad atleast that you have gotten the point where the move is manageable. I sometimes wonder if we ever get there when it comes to moving. Thankfully I am a list maker, so that helps.

I am putting out some more :tea: and :bringcoffee:, it looks like everyone could use an extra strong shot ...

Waves to durrrrrr, morningstar, dc, Midnight.. and anyone I missed.

Gives a high 5 to scoote.. for being an understanding and great partner.. and to Jo for the same.

(f) :love1: :heartbeat: for My girl.

[Zimmeh]

Good Afternoon Jake,

It did kick in and I am still feeling it's effects. I am going to have to get a French Press coffeemaker. It sounds much better than the traditional drip ones.

My day has gone from good to bad and back to good. I received a letter from my uncle who lives down in the Miami area, that he just found out that he has a daughter who is a couple of years older than me, and that he has five grandkids. My previous job may have messed up my good day, but his letter made it good again.

It was raining here earlier this morning and it is windy and sunny at the moment, but the way Florida weather is, it migh rain again..

Hope you are having fun today and have a safe trip when you move!

howdy y'all

another freakin hot day. a storm moved thru this morning. poured down rain for 15 minutes then humidity shot right back up. oh well.

hope y'all are doing alright.

[JustJo]

Good evening all :)

Chicken breasts sauteed with shallots, butter and a dollop of olive oil, fresh corn on the cob and a nice green salad for dinner...and a little fresh raspberry sorbet and Guyliane chocolates for dessert.

Didn't get as much done today as I'd like, but still making progress...the move is booked, my time off was approved from work, map is printed...now just need to keep plugging away at the packing.


Good Morning Jo,

Do I want to know the FULL story behind the aluminum foil? grins.



Ummmmm.....well....uhhhh....I don't remember the events of that night exactly....I know it started out with some dancing, and some drinking, and the hot tub, and next thing I knew my halo was dented beyond repair. :giggle: I'm sure Scoote has a better recollection than I do...

I think I'll have to buy the restaurant sized box of foil to keep in the kitchen....looks like my friend MountainStar might be needing to borrow some :winky:

[Zimmeh]

Good Evening Everyone,

Hope you all had a good day. It ended up being a gorgeous day here after it rained all morning. I truly had an intellectual interruption...I couldn't find my Claddagh ring for the last few days and today I was getting my keys out of a side pocket on my purse and my Claddagh ring was there...

Have a good night, I am getting up early in the morning to hang out with my mom while my bro does an oil change on my car...

Hugs!

Zimmy

[scootebaby]

dont remember exactly??? u r trying to sell that lie? really????? lol...thats my girl

evening everyone heard there was a tornado touch down in orlando so hope anyone near there is alright

after a trip to the podiatrist,i took the prince shopping for a few new items for school--altho everything he has looks brand new--its just something that needs to be done! go figure


ok ok i cant ignore it---Jake Jo showed up on the other site with this "halo" thing going on---in short it was plain BS....she busted out one night doing things that even I cant repeat without turning beet red!....come to find out it was a fake halo made from expensive auminum foil...every since then she pretends she still has one---usually after spending time in the kitchen with too much time on her hands! and well i dont see the need to waste money on the foil anymore..bc quite frankly i'll just keep busting her out....just how i am!

ok back to being trifling and FBing

[Zimmeh]

Heya Scoote,

Thanks for the info on the tornado touching down in Orlando. My old roommate still lives there, so I am going to send him a text to make sure he is ok. If I remember correctly, your the one who put video cameras up around the Honey house on the other site and all of the butches thanked ya for it..Hehe..

Hope you are having a good night,

Zimmy

dont remember exactly??? u r trying to sell that lie? really????? lol...thats my girl

evening everyone heard there was a tornado touch down in orlando so hope anyone near there is alright

after a trip to the podiatrist,i took the prince shopping for a few new items for school--altho everything he has looks brand new--its just something that needs to be done! go figure


ok ok i cant ignore it---Jake Jo showed up on the other site with this "halo" thing going on---in short it was plain BS....she busted out one night doing things that even I cant repeat without turning beet red!....come to find out it was a fake halo made from expensive auminum foil...every since then she pretends she still has one---usually after spending time in the kitchen with too much time on her hands! and well i dont see the need to waste money on the foil anymore..bc quite frankly i'll just keep busting her out....just how i am!

ok back to being trifling and FBing

[JakeTulane]

Ummmmm.....well....uhhhh....I don't remember the events of that night exactly....I know it started out with some dancing, and some drinking, and the hot tub, and next thing I knew my halo was dented beyond repair. :giggle: I'm sure Scoote has a better recollection than I do...

I think I'll have to buy the restaurant sized box of foil to keep in the kitchen....looks like my friend MountainStar might be needing to borrow some :winky:


I see.. mmhmmm.. well it appears given the events you HAVE recalled.. it was a good time had indeed... grins.

As for the restaurant sized box of foil .. you might want to contact the makers of said aluminum foil.. Reynolds.. and buy in bulk.. especially if it has to do with My girl.. winks.

*laughs hard..*.. Ok.. so THIS is the real story.. I knew there was more. Well scoote.. I have a feeling.. My girl might have given Me the same story.. right to the point of saying.. "i have a tattoo that says angel.. ".. and I said.. "sweetie, just because you have ink that states something.. does not make it so".. grins.

I am with you My friend.. ^5.

[JakeTulane]

Good Evening Everyone,

Hope you all had a good day. It ended up being a gorgeous day here after it rained all morning. I truly had an intellectual interruption...I couldn't find my Claddagh ring for the last few days and today I was getting my keys out of a side pocket on my purse and my Claddagh ring was there...

Have a good night, I am getting up early in the morning to hang out with my mom while my bro does an oil change on my car...

Hugs!

Zimmy

Good Evening Zimmy,

I am glad you found your ring.. that would rate right up there with Me.. if I lost My Blackberry.. laughs.

We so need some rain here.. again.. I lament.. I am over the HEAT. .damnit.

I hope you have a peaceful rest of the evening.

Hugs.
Jake

[JustJo]

Don't look now MountainStar, but I think they're onto us! :blink:

:bringcoffee: Good morning everyone! :)

I'm off to a productive start (for work anyway) and determined to accomplish tons in the next few days. I need to....I drive away this time next week! :cheer: And, in two weeks, you might be hearing Scoote spluttering in here about how crowded and annoying we are :cheesy: She hasn't met my menagerie yet...and we're just going to descend on her en masse....poor thing!

Breakfast this morning....sausage gravy with biscuits...and a nice selection of fresh kiwis, pineapple, and watermelon. :eating: Of course, the coffee and tea are on!

Have a great day everyone :rrose:

...and :lips: to you baby....see you soon :stillheart:

Good Morning Jo,

laughs. Well not alot gets past Me.. as My girl can attest to. I also have a feeling not alot gets past scoote. So, I would concur.. we are definately onto you both. grins.

Thank you for the wonderful breakfast. :chef:

Wow, I am sure you will be glad when this move thing is all done. I am just starting My packing today and I will be in My new place by the 20th. I keep thinking.. oh I still have plenty of time. However, it will be the 20th before I know it. So, I have to buckle down today and get things started.

Atleast we are getting rain here this morning and it has cooled things down quite a bit. I actually have My deck door open for the first time in days.

I hope you have a peaceful day.

hugs
Jake

[JakeTulane]

Good Morning wonderful Kitchen Patrons,

Today has started out peaceful and I hope it continues throughout the day. It is finally raining here and the temps have dropped. I think we are actually in the 70's right now and that is supposed to be our high for the day. I have the deck door and all the windows open. It feels good to have some fresh air flow through the house.

I am buckling down and starting My packing today. I think moving rates right up there with the fact that I hate peas and carrots. laughs.

However, it is a new beginning in so many ways.. so I embrace the change.

Here is some more :tea: and :bringcoffee: to go with Jo's great breakfast.

Waves to scoote, Zimmy, dc, durrrrr, morningstar.. and anyone else I might have missed.

For My girl ... xoxoxo... :king: (f) :princess:

Have a peaceful day, everyone.

[Zimmeh]

Good morning Everyone,

Thank you for breakfast Jo Jo! Waving back to Jake and sending you good vibes that your move goes well! I remember when I moved to Seattle, I can't tell you how much my Saturn held and I was taking stuff to my mom's house after working 14 hour days. My final day of working, I went in wearing jeans and a polo. Going through and tossing away all of the negative stuff I had and donating the rest was an emotional release for me.

Have a good day and hugs to all!

Zimmy

[Zimmeh]

I am glad I found it. My stepdad gave it to me for Christmas almost nine years ago! I agree with you, losing a phone is harder to replace especially the iPhone's, Droid phones and BkackBerry phones.

Hope you are having fun today!

Zimmy

Good Evening Zimmy,

I am glad you found your ring.. that would rate right up there with Me.. if I lost My Blackberry.. laughs.

We so need some rain here.. again.. I lament.. I am over the HEAT. .damnit.

I hope you have a peaceful rest of the evening.

Hugs.
Jake

[dark_crystal]

howdy y'all

another freakin hot day. a storm moved thru this morning. poured down rain for 15 minutes then humidity shot right back up. oh well.

hope y'all are doing alright.

i was at my sister's beach house yesterday and i glanced at the thermometer ONCE and saw that it said 110!!! i was scared to look after that!

a trick for memorizing important phone numbers:

type them into a blank text message with your t9 predictive text on- you will see what words the phone numbers spell...then you just memorize the words!

[durrrrrrrr]

i was at my sister's beach house yesterday and i glanced at the thermometer ONCE and saw that it said 110!!! i was scared to look after that!

I hear ya. on the radio yesterday the dude said to hang in there, that a "cool" down is headin this way. then he said the highs will be in the low 90's. i was like WTF, thats only 5 degrees cooler. lol i should of been a weather dude, its a secured job. cuz if you guess wrong all ya have to do is say a cold front of warm front shifted..lol.

[durrrrrrrr]

evenin everyone. another hot day but i dont have to work tomorrow. takin the dog to get his haircut, get some stuff done around the house. MAYBE take the bike out, but if the humidity has been like it has..doubt if i do.

hope y'all are doing alright and good luck to all ya's packin and gettin ready to move

[JustJo]

Good evening all :)

It's pizza night tonight...I've been busy!

Hope everyone had a good day. Mine was productive, but...once again...not as much as I'd like.

How far are you moving Jake? Is it a do-it-yourself kind of distance? I debated back and forth about saving money and doing it myself, but know that I'd end up hurt and sick in the process...so instead I'm hiring the pros and just going to cringe at the bill. I think moving has to be one of my least favorite things...although, like Zimmy, I'm finding the de-cluttering and possession give-away has been very freeing. :)

So who's trying to stay up late to watch meteors tonight?

[durrrrrrrr]

i am gonna try and watch the meteors.

i hear ya about hiring pro's. to me its worth it. i aint gettin younger. and they have insurance if something happens to your stuff.

Amen to that. And when we got quotes and figured out what it would cost for us to do it...the difference isn't worth our blood pressure, our backs, and the potential for damage to our stuff.

I'm not lifting anything heavier than my purse. Packing it all is work enough! :)

[morningstar55]

[JakeTulane]

Good Morning all you wonderful kitchen patrons,

Here is a buffet breakfast: scrambled eggs, sausage, steak, ham, french toast, oatmeal, grits, white and wheat toast, assorted fruit, sausage biscuits and gravy, cold cereal and of course :tea: and :bringcoffee:

I woke up happy today and I plan on staying that way all day.. heaven help anyone that tries to mess with that.. laughs.

The temps have finally gone down here.. and it is much cooler and bearable. Perhaps Fall is on it's way. *prays*

I hope everyone has a peaceful day.

For My girl...(f)


Hi Jo,

The move is local.. I will be moving about two streets over from where I am now. It is the top half of a house... and the place is really cozy. I am looking forward to getting in there and decorating.. oh and I get a big back yard along with a patio as well.. I am excited about decorating that too.

I hope you are progressing in a good way with the packing and purging. I am going to be doing alot of that Myself this weekend.

hugs
Jake

[JustJo]

Good morning everyone :)

Thank you for the lovely breakfast Jake :girleating: Here, let me top up your coffee :bringcoffee: Your new place sounds great...back yard, patio...oh yea! It's always nice to have some outdoor space of your own to decorate and hang out in. That's what I always missed when I lived in an apartment.

Wow morningstar, that's a big change to team drive, even if it's just for a little while. I hope they're an easy to get along with kind of a person. What are you planning on doing when you give up driving?

Off to work for me....busy day and tons of packing to do....hope you all have a great day! :)

:lips: baby....6 days to drive away...7ish until I'm there....love you :love1:

[dark_crystal]

I'm not lifting anything heavier than my purse.

:lol2: amen to THAT

[Zimmeh]

Good Morning Everyone,

I didn't get home until 9:30 lastnight from my Avon meeting and I am still tired...I am going to need plenty of coffee today!

I had a lot of fun lastnight at the Avon meeting, and I am excited about getting this business up and going. Knowing that my new DM is behind us 100% reassures me of my decision about joining. This coming Monday is a New Reps meeting, so I am attending it.

Have fun today, I am kid free and enjoying it..

Hugs,

Zimmy

[Zimmeh]

I totally agree Jo Jo! I could have used a butches help when I had to pack up my stuff and carry it down three flights of stairs to my car....I don't miss living in a apartment...

Have fun today,

Zimmy

Amen to that. And when we got quotes and figured out what it would cost for us to do it...the difference isn't worth our blood pressure, our backs, and the potential for damage to our stuff.

[durrrrrrrr]

could it get any hotter then what it already is? lol

i didnt make it and see the meteor show last night..anyone else see it?

[JustJo]

Good evening all :) and Happy Friday!

I didn't manage to stay up for the meteors...guess I'm showing my age. :giggle:

Dinner tonight? I'm having trouble deciding....might end up being chinese takeaway. :cheesy:

Hope everyone had a great day. I'm getting ready for a busy, busy weekend....driveaway day is coming up fast.

Hugs to all.

:lips: baby...

[scootebaby]

evening kitcheneeeeeeeeeeeeers.....the prince and i went over to the beach,but only saw 5 meteors in an hour...he was entertaining himself walking around my car repeatedly,finally stopped and said "this is lame...i thought a shower meant i would actually see something" so we left...lol

Jake...im thinking we need to pool our money and take stock out in Reynolds wrap...bc if ur girl is HALF as bad as mine in the "making halo" dept we gonna be buying A LOT of it so we might as well prosper from it!

and i'll say it again....i LOOOOOVE the heat...its the cooling down that gets to me...as long as im moving im good!

well its been a long day and tomorrow is school shopping day plus trying to make more room for my sweetie and Rooster soooo im gonna go relax with some M&Ms and SVU

[Zimmeh]

Good Morning Everyone,

Hope everyone slept well and I have the coffee and tea brewing as I am typing. I am thinking maybe some waffles, eggs, toast, juice, and fresh fruit for breakfast...

One more day of babysitting and then Lisa is on maternity leave until the middle of November..But tomorrow is going to be a short day of babysitting, I will be in Orlando until around 3pm.

Have fun today,

scoote.. I have a feeling you are right. When I was on the phone with My girl and read to her what you posted.. she just laughed and laughed.. I take that as an indication that we should invest in Reynolds right away. I will check the stock prices and get back to you. grins.

I hope you are having a good start to your Saturday down there in all the heat and humidity that you love. laughs.

Good Morning all of you beautiful kitchen Patrons,

Well .. finally... I woke up to cooler temperatures... and they got down low enough last night to be able to sleep with the windows open. This bodes well for Me packing and moving. I so was not looking forward to doing it in the heat.

Today will be met with some errands.. and then packing .. packing ... packing.

However, right now I am enjoying some coffee with My girl... and easing into My day.

Here is some more. :tea: and :bringcoffee:

Waves to Jo, scoote, Zimmy, morningstar, durrrrrr, Tommi, and anyone else I missed. I hope everyone has a peaceful Saturday.

For My girl... :love1:

:awww: <<< Me.

Good Morning Tommi,

Have a good day,

Good afternoon everyone :)

I got up bright and early today...ran to Denny's for breakfast to brace myself for what was coming...to Staples for more packing tape....empty boxes from BJ's (great source for boxes in the morning)....and was back home and packing by 9:30. Just took a little grilled cheese sandwich break...phew! I'm making some great progress, but still soooooo much to do.

Tommi, that sounds like a fun day...enjoy! :) I'm not artistic enough to be on the painting end, but I'd take that kitty cat face :cheesy:

Sounds like everyone has great plans for the day...remember to take a little time for yourselves...gotta love the weekend! :rrose:

Hugs to all....and :lips: for you baby..... :stillheart:

[scootebaby]

afternoon kitcheneers....popping it to see how everyone is enjoying their Sat. i am waiting for the prince to finish getting ready so we can go take advantage of tax free weekend in our great state....and of course it is raining so hard i can barely see out my window....perhaps it is my punishment for being so lazy when my sweetie is running around all crazy trying to get everything together for the move.....i did make a lot of room for her tho in my closet and dresser---thats counts right :)


anyway im thinking chinese or steak for dinner--maybe both..with all the trimmings...that way my girl doesnt have to cook

Jake ^5 i'm putting my pennies back now,and i put a call in to Reynolds Wrap CEO to see if we could get a break!

ok im off to get the prince in gear---he is worse than a girl i swear!

:lips: baby take breaks and eat

[Zimmeh]

Good Afternoon Everyone,

Jo Jo, sounds like you are kicking ass in the packing department and getting everything ready for your move.

Scoote, it has been cloudy here all day and has been keeping the tempatures down.

If you notice a typo, laugh at me and then remind me to go find some coffee...I laid down for a nap with Elijah, he still isn't sleeping through the night, and I slept longer than I wanted to...So now, I am all groggy..

Good news, I received my financial aid award letter, and I received enough money to cover the cost of my tuition and and about $400 of my textbooks. So now I have to go back to the college on Monday, and see about getting a grant to help cover the rest. I am also going to pick up my textbooks, so I am hoping they still have some used one's available. All of the textbooks are custom publications for the college, so I cannot try and find them somewhere else.

Have fun today, and I am thinking of some grilled chicken Kabobs from Publix tonight for dinner?

Zimmy

[JustJo]

anyway im thinking chinese or steak for dinner--maybe both..with all the trimmings...that way my girl doesnt have to cook


You are my bratty ass angel....I love you baby :stillheart:

Well, lots of boxes packed...couple rooms completely done and good progress on the others. The place looks like heck, but I'm doing alright. :) The cats are less impressed, however. :giggle:

That's great news Zimmy...between school and Avon you're gonna' be busy!

[Zimmeh]

Good Morning Jo Jo,

Yes I will be busy, but it will keep me out of trouble...Hehe...

Sounds like you are almost done and ready to leave NY behind, woohoo..

Have a good Sunday and hopefully you get to sleep in this morning..

Good Morning Everyone,

Hope you all had a good night's sleep. I am running around like a chicken with my head cut off, trying to get everything ready before I leave for Orlando this morning. I have to go pick up Lisa's niece who is going to be babysitting Elijah until I get home.

I am thinking of eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, coffee, tea, milk, juice and sodas for breakfast this morning.

Hugs and have a good day all,

Zimmy

Good Morning wonderful kitchen patrons,

Well it is a rainy and cool Sunday here.. I have missed the rain... and we need it badly. I am hoping it brings cooler temps all week while I move.

Right now I am enjoying My morning french pressed goodness .. perusing the New York Times and the site.

Today will be more packing.. and getting things ready for the week.

I had a great date night last eve with My girl. (f) That always brings a smile to Me the next day.. and always. I must have tired her out.. she is still :alarm:

Here is some :tea: and :bringcoffee: to keep us going.

Waves to Jo, scoote, Zimmy, morningstar, durrrrrr, and everyone else. I hope you have a peaceful Sunday.

[JustJo]

Good morning everyone :)

Hope you're all having a nice leisurely Sunday morning!

:bringcoffee: Breakfast sounds great, thank you Zimmy. Here, let me top up everyone's coffee and tea. :tea:

I have already been in to the store, where the lovely grocery clerk broke down and saved 25-30 perfect boxes for me. He was so nice when I called last night and offered to put my name on them so I could get them this morning. Much better than going out and struggling with them late last night. :)

So today is all about packing again. The new tenants are going to be showing up late this afternoon, so I need to have some of the bedlam diminished by then. It's getting there!

Hope everyone has a great day...and I'll be back when I take a break. :rrose:

:lips: baby....soon, soon....and this time it's actually soon! :love1:

Good Evening MountainStar,

Hope you are having a good night,

Zimmy

Good morning Jo, Scoote, Zimmy, Morning, Durrr, and of course the handsome Jake...:tea: Where is Everest and some of the others from the house over there ----->

It sounds like you are in the home stretch my friend Jo....I know you and Scoote are both super excited!!! I am excited for you!

Have a good day everyone! Hope your day is as special as you are :)

[Zimmeh]

Good Evening Everyone,

Well I was bad...I was waiting on my old roommate so we could have an early dinner, and I ended up buying the shoes at Kenneth Cole. They didn't have the red snake skin one's in my size, so I ended up with a pair of black flats that are perfect for work and school.

Dinner is going to be Chicken Lettuce Wraps, Ginger Chicken, and any other type of food that PF Changs sells!

Have a good night, I am taking my happy/tired arse to bed..

See you all in the morning,

Zimmy

Ooohhhh I like PF Chang's :)....especially the chicken lettuce wraps :eating:

I've been busy today...the box mountain is growing, and has spawned little box hills in the bedrooms and office as well. The tenants came over to do paperwork, and my best friend came over for a little visit as well....making progress...

Hope you all had a great weekend...seems impossible that it's over (and I still have a bunch to do...yikes!)

:lips: baby...getting there...

[Zimmeh]

Girls will be girls and the more shoes we own, the happier we are, hehe...PF Changs does rock, but I didn't want to eat anything heavy since I had to drive back home, so I just had the lettuce wraps.

Your nephew sounds cute in his little Harley shirt! They are precious at that age.

Good Morning Everyone,

I just woke up and I am tired. I didn't sleep well lastnight, I woke up at 3am and stayed up until 6am.

I am thinking of brain food for breakfast...Eggs, bacon, sausage, toast and other goodies that will put us all on a sugar rush..

I am off to get ready to go up to the college and hang out with my mom for a few minutes before my Avon meeting tonight..

Hugs and see you all in a bit,

Zimmy

[JustJo]

Good morning everyone :)

:bringcoffee: Big pot of coffee on and boiling the kettle for more tea :tea:...thank you for breakfast Zimmy and sorry to hear you didn't sleep well. I was up and down a few times last night, and woken by torrential rain at 7 a.m. that meant I had to scurry around and close the windows (which were all wide open),

I've been working steadily about 12 hours a day for the last two days....packing, sorting and cleaning....and woke up feeling like I've run a marathon. My current house is 2 stories, with the laundry in the basement....so I've done more flights of stairs than I can even count this weekend. I should be nicely toned by the time I get to FL :giggle:

Of to catch up on work, and a bit more packing...going to be pretty busy until the last minute I think! The good news...just 3 more mornings and I'm driving away. :byebye: Can't wait! :love1: Love you baby :lips: :stillheart:

Have a great day everyone! :rrose:

[durrrrrrrr]

mornin everyone

thanks for breakfast Zimmy.

I am off work again today, yeah, it was my long weekend. but once i go back to work tomorrow my next day off wont be until the 28th. no biggie.

[durrrrrrrr]

evenin everyone

hope y'all are gettin done with what ya have going.

[Abigail Crabby]

Hmmmm I heard somewhere there was coffee? Being the caffiene addict I am I just had to come in.

then of course I was thread stalking some friends and saw they come in so there was double the reason.

Add to the fact that Jo started the thread - How could I stay away :)

Hope everyone had a wonderful day. Mine was awesome :)

[JustJo]

Good evening everyone :)

Welcome Abigail...you're just in time for a fresh pot of coffee :bringcoffee:

Dinner tonight is green salad, pot roast and potatoes...Scoote even cooked :eating: For dessert I stopped at Panera and got some of their yummy shortbread cookies. I would have baked, but all the cookie sheets are packed. :giggle:

Sounds like you had a nice day for a ride (or two) durrrrrrr :)

I need to get back to the packing...just took a little break and had to check out pet-friendly motels along the way. Seems that Motel 6 allows pets at no charge, so that will probably be in our plans. I was thinking I could be tough and drive right through with just a nap....but I'm not really that tough. :winky:

Have a good evening all! :rrose:
:lips: baby...

[scootebaby]

evening kitcheneers..........hello and welcoem Ms Crabby...glad you stopped by..hopefully you can hang awhile :)

and glad to say i talked Jo into stopping a long the way....she is a hardheaded woman damn...i had to actually put my foot down--which reverberated all way up to my head--sheesh

well im off to channel surf til 10 then Rizzoli and Isles come on...why do they put the good shows on so late?????

hope everyone--roomies and lurkers--has a good evening

I'm done with school (8 years of college is enough for me, thanks), but I'm trying to persuade Scoote to give it a look, too.

We wanna hear about this lady friend of yours too, my friend :cheesy:

DC, we should have sent you school supply shopping :giggle: ...and I'm with you durrrrrrr, the school year has completely snuck up on us. FL starts two weeks ahead of NY, so the Rooster has a slightly shortened summer, but he's happy that the school day starts later and is a tiny bit shorter there...so it's all good. :)

[scootebaby]

DC....i got extra pencils,pens,notebooks,comp books,3 pronged folders, and filler paper...even some binders if you need any.....hell i bought 1220 pencils a couple weeks ago...they were so cheap i knew one of the schools could use them...even if each kid only got 2...anyway im not tooting my horn im just bragging about being a thrifty shopper...lol

I applied to get into the Medical Administrative Assistant program, which I am hoping like heck I get into ~ if not, next plan of action is getting a job. Mmmm and as for My lady friend, well she's not just a friend though I'm sure you can already gather that hehe. I'm crazy in love with My girl; she is beautiful and takes My breath away constantly ............. she is amazing and I'm so very lucky to have her :)

Her nick on here is ALilIrishGirl and she is incredible, not to mention beautiful inside and out :D

Publix has a huge sale going on their school supplies. I picked up a 10 count pack of Bic Mechanical pencils for $1 and a 10 count pack of Paper Mate pens for 50 cents. I am going to try and get back down there today to pick up some more.

Have fun today,

(((((Braedon))))),

Good Morning and welcome back. I am doing good, just getting everything ready for when I start college on the 30th. I have to go back to the college this morning, the girl at the bookstore gave me the wrong book and failed to give me my textbook for my Microbiology lab. Other than that, I have just been watching Elijah.

Hugs and glad to hear you are happy in love my friend,

Zimmy

[Zimmeh]

Good Morning Everyone,

They admitted Lisa back into the hospital yesterday. They are saying her amniotic fluid is low and if it is still low this morning, they are delivering her baby eight days early. So I had Elijah all night and the poor little boy is sleeping in his room after being up most of the night looking for her.

I am leaving a huge pot of extremely strong French Roast coffee from Starbucks on, with pancakes, fresh fruit, whipped cream, eggs, juice, tea, milk and sodas for breakfast.

Have fun today, and I will let you all know if Lisa has her baby..

Zimmy

[JustJo]

Good morning everyone :) and thank you for breakfast Zimmy :girleating:

:bringcoffee: I could use a little caffeine this morning for sure!

Zimmy, I hope your friend and her baby do alright. If her amniotic fluid is getting low, then far better to just welcome that little one to the world already. She's close enough to her due date now that it won't really matter.

Braedon, I'm so happy for you :cheesy: You'll have to bring your ALilIrishGirl over for a cuppa and to say hello. I'm sure ChrisButch will give his approval immediately....just based on the Irish part. :giggle:

Over here the packing continues...so much so that it looks like I'm living in a box jungle. Most of the cupboards and closets are bare (except my bedroom), and the cats just keep giving me dirty looks. They do, however, enjoy climbing and sleeping on all of the boxes. Everytime I pack one, they have to hop up and investigate...and designate one to take a nap on top of it.

Off to work for me....busy day and evening ahead. Hugs to all....and :lips: for my :alarm: baby.... :stillheart:

[Zimmeh]

Good Morning Jo Jo,

You are welcome for the breakfast! They did the amniotic fluid test this morning and it came back even worse than the one yesterday. So the dr's are getting her ready to have her second little boy. Elijah is going to enjoy having a little brother. I am off to the grocery store to pick up some more milk and juice for him.

Have fun today and your countdown to leaving cold NY behind is getting closer!

Zimmy

It is official, as of 12:30 this afternoon, Lisa had her baby boy who is completely blonde and they don't know if he has blue eyes or brown eyes. I am going to take Elijah up to see her tomorrow.

I am over the moon and excited! I am an Aunt again....

Woohoo!!!! Screw the diet, I am going to have some ice cream!

Zimmy




[CENTER][FONT="Georgia"][SIZE="3"]omgomgomg SO EXCITING!!!

[dark_crystal]

well i need to go call a prospective employee---i really shouldnt have to work up the nerve to do it should i? lol

i ALWAYS have to work up nerve to call ANYONE even if they will be delighted i did/wrecked that i didn't....however this is prolly small consolation as i am officially weird.

I am over the moon and excited! I am an Aunt again....

Woohoo!!!! Screw the diet, I am going to have some ice cream!


CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

i would have to say that you are REQUIRED to have ice cream! Cigars just aren't ladylike!

[Daktari]

Wotcha Kitcheneers *waves*

What's for dinner? Well there's a choice. Bacon and avocado on a butty (sandwich with chilli -probably my favoured option) or Haggis and tatties.

What have y'all been upto? I've not been having the best of times recently so I've been pretty quiet. Not easy to be chatty when you feel cr*p innit!

On the upside I think I've sniffed out a second hand unicycle which hopefully I will take delivery of next week. Another upside is my furbaby came home after a weekend being AWOL *breathes massive sigh of relief*

*leaves good granary bread, crispy smoked streaky bacon and a few spare avocados*


Huge 'grats to you Zimmy on becoming an Aunt again. My thoughts are with you and your family at this happy time.

*waves back*

[JakeTulane]

Good Evening all you wonderful kitchen patrons,

I have been so busy the past few days I have not had time to be on here long enough to post. So, I had to go back and catch up on what everyone is up to.

Welcome to the Kitchen .. Abby *hugs* (f)

Well the temps might actually be heading into dare I say it.. Fall? We had perfect sleeping weather here last night.. I am so looking forward to crawling into the bed again tonight and being able to sleep and not wake up in the middle of the night ten times because of the heat. It makes for a long day when you have to be up at the crack of dawn.

Still busy packing.. I will be moving this Saturday and Sunday.. I rented a truck and allotted for two days.. just in case. Better safe than sorry.

Here is some evening :tea: and :bringcoffee: if anyone is in the mood.

Waves to Jo, scoote, Zimmy, durrrrrr, dc, browneyedgirl, Braedon, Abby, morningstar.. and anyone I missed.

I hope you all are having a peaceful evening.

Still sending good vibes scoote and Jo's way on the move.

(f) (f) (f) (f) (f) For My sweetheart.

:love1:

[JustJo]

Good evening all :)

Incubus, sorry to hear that you've been having a rough time of it. Remember that we're always here for you...and thank you for the bacon and avocado butties and chili :girleating: ....yummy!

Holy cow, I have a busy day and I miss so much...new babies :cheer: , drive by hellos from browneyed girl :byebye: cigars, unicycles....I can't keep up! :giggle:

I'm getting ready to dive back into the packing...cuz the empty boxes are calling my name :seeingstars:

Hope you all have a great evening....I'll be back when I can. :)

:lips: baby....

[Abigail Crabby]

beeboppin in to say hi and sit and relax for a spell.

Jo - thanks again for this thread - I am a creature of habit and I like a place I can go and feel comfy in and recognize all the inhabitants.

[Zimmeh]

Good Evening Jo Jo,

You are going to need a vacation from moving....

I am leaving you some wonderful strawberry cheesecake from the Publix Bakery for your trip down here.

Have a good night and get some rest!

Good morning Everyone,

I am making a huge pot of extremely strong coffee and tea this morning! I do believe, most of us need it.

I am thinking of cold cereal, fresh fruit, juice, milk, toast and sodas for breakfast....

I am taking Elijah up this morning to visit with his mom and see his little brother, then I am coming home to take a nap...

Have a good morning,

Zimmy

[JustJo]

Good morning Everyone,

I am making a huge pot of extremely strong coffee and tea this morning! I do believe, most of us need it.



Amen to that my friend! :cheesy: and thank you for breakfast once again!

I can't decide whether I feel like I've been running daily marathons, or someone has been whacking me with a stick. I am sore all over. On the plus side, I'm sleeping like a rock...my head hits the pillow and I am gone...don't think I even turn over.

Today is my last day to pack...and tomorrow morning we drive away. :)
I still have a lot to do, and it's a work day...thank goodness my best friend invited us to dinner tonight, so I can pack all the kitchen stuff completely and not have to even think about organizing food. Love that woman!

I've decided that I'm going to miss two things about this area...being close enough to have breakfast now and again with my best friend, and Wegman's (the best grocery store in the known world). That's pretty much it! My son, on the other hand, will find it a bit harder. I'm hoping that being close to the beach, and periodic trips to Disney, Universal and such will take some of the sting out for him.

Alright....off to pack....and at some point I'm gonna have to unplug the modem and pack the computer, so I'll be going offline for a few days. Take care of each other while I'm away! :gimmehug:

:lips: baby...one more day and I'm on my way...

[Zimmeh]

Good Morning scoote,

Yes, it will be this weekend. Although I am stressing a bit because My brother-in-law might have to work. Keep your fingers crossed.. and thank you for the good luck wishes.

I lit a candle this morning for Jo.. that she has a smooth drive and arrives safely to the place that she belongs.. in your arms.. her Home. smiles.

I am off and out the door.

Here is some more. :tea: and :bringcoffee: for everyone.

I hope you all have a peaceful Thursday.

For My sweet girl... :bunchflowers:...:king: (f) :princess:

[scootebaby]

good morning everyone...sorry its a late breakfast,but i was thinking eggs cooked to order,bacon sausage,biscuits and gravy, some country ham,steak...and for the healthier bunch i also have some fresh fruit,bagels :bringcoffee: and :tea: with juice and different types of milk


i talked to Jo this morning they are officially on the road--minus the ho' cat that didnt come home..no worries she has a friend that will go pick up her loose ass once she comes home...lol one is tossing cookies,one is meowing like it is being tortured and the one they thought would be an issue is looking at the other two like "stfu and enjoy the ride" lol should be a fun day for my sweetie and rooster


ok i gotta go open up my store....hope everyone has a great day

[Zimmeh]

Good Afternoon Everyone,

That is brunch, Scoote and thanks! I am thinking of sandwiches and chips for lunch. I have been cleaning my house like a mad hatter. My house was destroyed Monday night by my best friend's niece and since I was gone most of the day yesterday, I am just now getting to it. I saw the pics of the baby and yes she is adorable! Little Caleb, looks like Lisa's brother and he has blonde hair and blue eyes right now.

Tell Jo Jo, if she needs anything and she is between Jax and Daytona Beach, to call me. I know the Troopers are bad coming through Jax and they sit on 95 doing speed checks.

Sending good vibes to Jo Jo and her Rooster that they all make it to Florida safely!

Have a good day,

Zimmy

I want to know what tiramisu is before I eat it...smiles

[dark_crystal]

I want to know what tiramisu is before I eat it...smiles

ahem...from:

http://www.heavenlytiramisu.com/whatisit.htm
Tiramisu is a cool, refreshing Italian dessert that once tasted, leaves an indelible impression on you.

But that description just doesn't do it justice ...

I'll have to describe it for you in more graphic terms. Let's see now . . . for those of you who've never had it before, how would I describe it?

Well, first of all, think of a very light chocolate pudding. Very light. No, you've got to think lighter than that. Think more in the lines of mocha-flavored whipped cream.

Well, first of all, think of a very light chocolate pudding. Very light. No, you've got to think lighter than that. Think more in the lines of mocha-flavored whipped cream.

Now add in a little bit of body. Not heaviness, but substance -- you know, the kind of fullness that rich foods feel like in your mouth. Except that it doesn't taste rich, and it doesn't stay in your mouth long enough to become cloying. It tastes, well, dreamy.

Then, imagine this very light almost-like-mocha-flavored-whipped-cream concoction on lady finger pastry soaked (no, more like "kissed") with strong espresso coffee. Got that? Light, creamy, smooth lady fingers, the rich aroma of strong coffee?

Okay, now add in just a slight bite on the tongue, and tantalizing hint of the liquor. Suddenly, you get a teeny explosion of chocolate on your tongue that disappears in a flash. Got all that? Good.

Now finally, imagine that you're dressed in gossamer. You have delicate white wings and are sitting on a fluffy cloud. You are experiencing the greatest dessert ecstasy of your life. You are in Heaven, and Heaven is in your mouth!

[scootebaby]

DC i have to say that is the BEST description of tiramisu i have ever read....ready to try it now Ms Pam??? :)


Ok ...update Jo and Rooster have stopped for the night somewhere in NC...she was hoping to get a little further but construction coming in to Va was horrendous...but i believe she is at least halfway here....hopefully tomorrow will be smooth sailing for them

it is after 9 pm here and STILL 90 degrees.......i can handle heat during the day but at night it needs to be cool dammit!!

anyway im gonna go wait for Jo to call once she gets everyone all settled in for the night....ill try to get in early enough in morning for breakfast--since Jo asked me to take care of it while she was en route to Florida

everyone have a good evening!!

[scootebaby]

welllllllllllllllll its Friday---not that that means anything really to me---other than Jo and Rooster will be here sometime tonight..woooohoo....for everyone else it means end of the week!

my day started off just peachy...7 a.m call for the princes new school...one of the coaches trying to round up bowlers for the school team :| AT 7.am really???

then i call the school bc we couldnt get his schedule Thurs....seems he is missing 1/2 a credit in English so they registered him as a 9th grader,but enrolled him in all hs 10th grade classes...he will be considerd a freshman till he makes up that 1/2 another :| moment...noone could inform of us this any earlier than 3 days b4 school? i love the Florida school system!

so i hope everyone elses day started off a lil better and continues

Jake...hope everything goes well with ur move

to everyone else---have a beautiful day!!!!!!

How are you doing? When do you find out about college?

Hugs and have a good day,

Zimmy

Hey Zimmy,

I probably wont hear back from the college I applied to until next week or the end of the month, but I hope that I get in ........ if not, then once My sister is back in school I'll be looking for a job. Thank you for the congrats hun; she is amazing and I couldn't be luckier to have found someone as beautiful and as caring as she is. I wasn't looking for love at the time, since I was concentrating on recovering from My gallbladder surgery but she sent Me a private message on the dash site and I've been smitten ever since. I've told My parents about her already, and they truly are hoping that it works out because they can see how big the smile on My face is ............ I have no doubt that it will, but it always helps to have parental support :)

I miss My bro Everest! What kind of shop did hy open? I'm glad to hear that hy's doing so well, say hi to hym for Me next time you two chat :thumbsup:

How are you hun? Hope your doing well :rrose:

I'm so glad to hear that Jo and Rooster are on their way! Construction sucks, I know that for a fact, but hopefully it won't slow her down too much. I wish her a safe rest of the trip and you'll have to let us know that they arrived safe and sound this evening :cheesy:

Pizza, wings and beer sounds perfect, since its so damned nice outside .......... the chocolate cake sounds amazing too, can't wait to try some *grin*

welllllllllllllllll its Friday---not that that means anything really to me---other than Jo and Rooster will be here sometime tonight..woooohoo....for everyone else it means end of the week!

Ahhhhhh the joys of the public school system! My parents have had quite a hard time sometimes with the school system here too because of My sister, who has Autism, trying to get things in place for her. It seems like such a hassle sometimes, especially when she needs certain things in place to help her (especially keeping a routine). Hopefully your son will be able to get that 1/2 credit and continue on with his schooling with little hassle (or atleast we can only hope that happens lol)

Glad to hear that Jo and Rooster will finally be with you tonight, I bet your very excited ~ I wish you both an amazing future bro *yay* :D

[Zimmeh]

Good Afternoon Scoote,

This is what I was telling Jo Jo about. Mainland High School in Daytona did this to me, only I had to take 14 classes my senior year to graduate. I honestly think, the public school system in Florida needs to be revamped and everyone needs to be updated...

Glad to hear that Jo Jo and the Rooster are almost home with you and your prince!

Have fun today,

Zimmy

Heya Braedon,

I am doing good and I am crossing my fingers that you get accepted into college! Everest opened up a new business and starts hys next semester soon. I will definately let hym know that hy is missed! I can see the smile on your face through the post about your new girl. Glad to read that you found someone who puts a huge smile on your face. I am staying single until I am done with college and I am planning on moving back to Orlando once I am done.

Hugs and have fun today!

Hi everyone :)

I know it says Scoote, but this is Jo (in stealth mode :giggle: ). Rooster and I arrived about 2 hours ago, and my sweetie filled us up on yummy pizza. I had a nice shower, my feet (swollen ankles and all) are propped on the coffee table, and I'm sooooooo happy to be here. :cheesy:

Took about 23 hours of driving in 2 days, but we made it. Now I just have to talk her into taking us to the beach tomorrow :beachkids:

I promise I'll go back and catch up...but right now my eyes are crossing from tiredness, so it will be tomorrow.

Hope you've all had a good last few days, and that Jake's move went smoothly as well. Sleep well everyone...I know I will :) :love1:

My best friend was released from the hospital yesterday and her new little boy is so little. He weighed 6lbs 3oz and I am afraid to hold him.

Her 21 month old son doesn't know what to do and keeps looking at the baby, like what is this...

How are you doing this morning?

[JustJo]

Good afternoon everyone! :)

We had fun at the beach yesterday, and I even went out into the waves to play with Rooster. We both love the ocean, and it just felt great. What we didn't plan on was being so tired after the long car ride and, even though we'd had a good night's sleep, we both wilted pretty quickly and were ready for a quiet evening.

Scoote had to work today, so I'm doing laundry, baking brownies, and putting away some of the stuff I brought down. The bulk is in storage until we get the house, but I had the car's (huge) trunk packed to within an inch of its life. :giggle:

Quiet day today...school starts tomorrow so there's still some to do to make sure we're ready. It'll be a bit of a scramble since we have to get Rooster's school assignment tomorrow morning, and then head to the school. No tour or intro for him...just splash into the first day. Better than starting late though...so it's good we made it down when we did.

The drive was long but went well. Lots of construction and traffic in Virginia, but otherwise smooth...and the folks at the motel didn't give us any grief about 4 animals in the room, even though the sign at the front desk said 1 per room. Sweet lady at the desk just said "I'm not telling if you're not" and checked us right in.

Our old kitty Bree is still AWOL. She vanished right before we left (very unlike her) and the friend who is checking for her hasn't seen any sign. I'm hoping she's okay, and that she's just off adventuring. When she turns up, she'll get stuffed into a carrier and put on a plane for a 3 hour flight instead of a 2 day drive...so maybe she planned this all along. :cheesy:

Hope you're all having a wonderful weekend.
Dinner tonight will be roast beef, mashed potatoes, broccoli...and those fresh baked brownies for dessert. Right now the beef is marinating in the fridge and will get popped into the oven soon for a long slow roast.

Hugs to you all...and thanks for your well wishes on our trip. As smooth as it went, I'm thinking it helped. :rrose:

:lips: baby...dinner will be ready when you get home. :love1:

[durrrrrrrr]

jo..sounds like y'all had a good time. glad you made it safely. hope the cat that is AWOL is found soon.

howdy everyone. hope y'all are doing alright. i had to work this weekend and i aint done yet, but dont have to go back in till 1 am. gonna take a nap and chill for a few.

have a good one everyone

[Zimmeh]

Good Evening Everyone,

It has been a hectic last few days. Elijah is still getting used to having Caleb home and Lisa's mom and Aunt have been staying to help her out with the two. I spent the day with my mom yesterday and had some 80 year old woman rear end me while I was making a turn. Thankfully, she did more damage to the bumper of her car and my car, had none...

Jo Jo, Glad to hear that you all had a blast at the beach yesterday! Dinner sounds yummy and thank you!

Durrrrrrr, have a good night at work.

Night all,

Zimmy

[Abigail Crabby]

Wandering in and looking for that coffee pot.

It's been a rainy dreary day and I could use a great cuppa Joe to warm me up :)

Howdy everyone

Hope your weekend was fabulous !

[JakeTulane]

Good Evening to all the wonderful kitchen patrons,

I thought I would pop in before I head off to bed. The move has not happened. My brother-in-law was supposed to be one of the helpers and had to work this weekend. So I had to call the moving truck place and put it on hold. I am now in search of some labor to help get the truck loaded and unloaded. I have vowed to have the resolved by the time tomorrow is done.

It has been raining here all day.. dark and overcast. However, we really needed it given how hot it has been for the last few weeks. I am sure the plants are loving it out there right now. I love it as well. I have a big window ledge outside My bedroom window and when I open the window a bit.. I can hear the rain hitting it. smiles.

Just got off the phone with My girl. .and tucked her in for the night. :moonstars:

So now I am headed that way Myself..

Here is some :tea: and :bringcoffee: for the late night and early morning kitchen patrons.

Waves to Jo, scoote, Zimmy, durrrrr, Abby, Braedon, Midnight, Incubus, dc, morningstar.. and anyone I missed.

For My girl.. (f) (f) (f) (f)

Goodnight All.

[MountainStar]

Awww thank you for the flowers!!! I really enjoy our phone calls and it's wonderful to be tucked in at night :phonegab::rrose:

Yet another Monday blooms. I have been up for an hour and took the dog out and then looked up how to remove a water stain from a wood table...I have a new roomie....sigh....you would think everyone would know to use a coaster. Hopefully what I read on the internet will work and take this out. I will find out tonight!

Good luck on finding the labourers...I know you will!

Coffee is on...Tim Horton's brand this morning, along with steel cut oats, raisins, and walnuts. For those who don't eat oats or porridge as they call it up here - I left out french bread and whole wheat bread for toast along with juices, milk, and if I remember right some Dr. Pepper for a Floridian whose girl is making her way there or is there or something like that. :seeingstars:

Make it a great day!! Don 't forget to smile and breathe...mostly make sure you breathe lol.

Oh...and quit smoking day is Friday.....the countdown is on!

Good morning one and all ...

Monday has blossomed with birds on the veranda and promises of blue skies.

Packing is almost complete as I get ready to head to NC and start my new job.

I understand where I will be will have a lil snow over the holidays - this will prove to be very interesting lol as I've not lived in snow in well say forever *grin*

If I had an oven I'd bake ya'll some warm cinnamon buns - so let's pretend I did and enjoy.

[dark_crystal]

Took about 23 hours of driving in 2 days, but we made it.

YAY!

My best friend was released from the hospital yesterday and her new little boy


double YAY

:vigil:

i had to work this weekend and i aint done yet, but dont have to go back in till 1 am.

mmm-hmmm...riiiiight

(f)(f)(f)(f)

for my staff...i got a bad steam burn from my crock pot Friday night so this morning they got together and re-did the desk duty schedule so i don't have any today!!! AW!

[JustJo]

Good evening everyone :)

Dinner tonight is fried chicken breasts, mac & cheese, peas...and your choice of brownies or ice cream or both for dessert. :eating:

First day of school was today, but we only got the registration process halfway done. May be another day or two before he's attending. Of course, that may have worked out for the best. The Rooster is growing so fast that all of his pants turned into high waters sometime in the last few weeks...so we were clothes shopping instead, and then off to the beach. It's nice to see him enjoy the water so much. :cheesy:

Sorry to hear that your move didn't happen Jake. It's always tough when you're counting on others to help. Hopefully it all goes smoothly on attempt #2.

In the meantime, hugs to you all....and I'll put on a pot of decaf so we can all have a last cup without ruining our sleep. :)

:lips: baby....

[durrrrrrrr]

evenin everyone

hope y'all are doing alright. I only had to go into work for a couple hours today and the only reason i had to do that was due to a physical for the company i work for. it was kinda funny during the "eye" test. she had me stand 25 ft away from the board. and then she told me to read the bottom line that I could read...I told her " made in china" i then looked over at her and she was like this :| she then turned around and looked and at the bottom left hand side in small print it said " made in china" she then said to me " i think the eye test is done" lol.

Sorry to hear that your move didn't happen Jake. It's always tough when you're counting on others to help. Hopefully it all goes smoothly on attempt #2.



nods I agree as to the counting on the help. However, all is well that ends well.. I made a couple of calls today.. and hired some help instead.. so the move will happen this Wednesday.. it pays to have patience. smiles.



Jake..hopefully you can get the moving help ya need and get that over with.




Thank you durrrrrr.. and I did. I will be glad when Wednesday is done and over with too.


Good Evening all you wonderful kitchen patrons,

Today was a busy Monday.. as most are. However, I got alot accomplished.. and most of all... getting the move set up and scheduled. It is still raining here pretty heavily.. however, I will take rain any day over the blazing sun.

Here is some :tea: and :bringcoffee: for the late night partakers.

Waves to Zimmy, Abby, morningstar, dc, scoote, Jo, durrrrr, Incubus, Braedon, browneyedgirl, and anyone I missed. I hope you have a peaceful end to your day.

For My sweetheart.. (f)(f)(f)(f)(f)

Good morning Everyone,

Hope you all slept well. I am looking forward to attending college on Monday, I am still trying to find a way to pay the $150 difference for my textbooks. I went to the college yesterday and the line at the Financial Aid office was out the door and around the corner. I am going to try tomorrow, since I am going with Lisa to take the baby to the dr's this morning.

I am undecided for breakfast, so maybe some eggs, toast, hash, bacon, sausage, coffee, milk, tea, juices and sodas.

Hugs to all and see ya tonight,

Zimmy

Hey Everyone! Today was a great day and I'm finally home from work...whew! Got to talk to a wonderful butch on the way home which made my drive ever so much better!

Jake is doing the big move...well a move...not "the big move" lol...but should be back around soon. :jester: Got to love the hat hehe

I would check for used textbooks. I bought almost all of my textbooks that way and it saved a lot of money! You might look on craig's list for them too. I would have loved to have sold mine rather than pitching them years ago..:glasses:

Okies...off to watch tv for a bit and eat my dinner....hope Jo has better cookery happening than I do tonight!!! :firetruck:

Cheers!

Good Evening Zimmy,

For the birds is putting it mildly. laughs. Yes, I have everything sorted out and the moving help will be here tomorrow morning. My Mom, sister, niece and nephew and I .. just did one load of boxes and misc. stuff .. so the movers will be able to get to all the furniture. By this time tomorrow I will be in My new home. smiles.

I hope you are having a peaceful evening.. and your day went the same.

As Always
Jake

[JakeTulane]

awwwwww.. I am glad I could make your drive better.. smiles. laughs @ not the "big move". grins.

Yes.. kitchen patrons.. the reason why My girl is loving the jester hat.. is that tomorrow at work is "wear a hat day".. and I dressed as a court jester one year for Halloween and have this awesome jester hat.. that cost mucho bucks.. so I am wearing it tomorrow and I get to dress in jeans for doing so.

I did the same honey.. I do not think I bought more than 5 textbooks brand new in the whole time I had gone to college.. used is the way to go..

Ok.. I am off to peruse the threads and have some quiet time with My girl.

Here is some :tea: and :bringcoffee: for the late nighters.. and I am going to add some of this :wine: for those that have had a lonnggggg day. smiles.

Waves to Jo, scoote, durrrrr, Zimmy, Abby, dc, Braedon, morningstar, Incubus.. and anyone I missed. I hope you all are having a quiet evening.

Tomorrow evening at this time.. I will be writing to you all from My new place. smiles.

For My beautiful girl.. :flowers: :king: (f) :princess:

Good Morning Jake and MountainStar,

I looked online at Amazon for my books, but since they are custom publications for the school, no such luck. I was able to switch my Microbiology class to online, so I can return the textbook for that class. Good luck on your move today, Jake and hopefully you two will have a good day!

Good Morning Everyone,

Sending you all wishes for a good day. It is raining down here and I am not enjoying it. I am supposed to take my car to my brother's house today, he thinks I may have broken a motor mount and is going to check it out.

Breakfast is anything you all want. I woke up with a back ache this morning that Aleve isn't getting rid of, so I am going to be relaxing today.

Have fun today,

Zimmy

[dark_crystal]

it was kinda funny during the "eye" test. she had me stand 25 ft away from the board. and then she told me to read the bottom line that I could read...I told her " made in china" i then looked over at her and she was like this :| she then turned around and looked and at the bottom left hand side in small print it said " made in china" she then said to me " i think the eye test is done" lol.

lol when i took mine they made me do it without my glasses! she said "read the lowest row you can see" i said "I know the top row is always a giant 'E' but i'd be lying if i told you i was reading it"

:bluebat:


I start college on August 30th and I am looking forward to it!

i started last night and i am pretty sure my usual tactics (sit in the front row and kiss butt) are already working

[JustJo]

Good evening everyone :)

Rough day today...and dinner just walked in the door...KFC chicken, cole slaw...works for me! :girleating:

Hope you all are having a better day than I am! Started off yelling at a realtor and went down from there....oh well, tomorrow is another day!

[JakeTulane]

Good Evening Zimmy,

Well that stinks as to not being able to buy your books at a discount. I am a firm believer that colleges make much more off books than they do in tuition. laughs. Glad that you were atleast able to change your Microbiology class.

Thank you for the "good luck" wishes. The move is no done and over, and I am in My new place. Everything went off without a hitch. However, there were some things that I did not have the movers bring over so I had to do it after work (with My Mom and niece's help).. so I am dead tired.

I hope you had a peaceful day .. and evening as well.

As Always,
Jake

Good Evening wonderful kitchen patrons,

Well I am writing to you from My new place. The move went off without a hitch.. and I am so very thankful it is over. I think I could sleep for a week right now. So, I am going to keep this short.. as I have to be up early.

Thank you to everyone for the "good luck" wishes and positive vibes. One of the many reasons that I love this thread.

Here is some :tea: and :bringcoffee: for anyone that wants to partake.

For My sweet girl.. (f)(f)(f)(f)(f)(f)
