Good evening everyone :)

Sorry to have been so busy lately...between getting the Rooster started in school, dealing with the house purchase stuff and my regular work the day is pretty full. And, since Rooster doesn't have his computer here until we get moved in and the truck-o-stuff arrives, he's monopolizing my pink laptop.

Dinner tonight was pork chops, mashed potatoes and glazed carrots...and everyone found their own dessert of brownies or jello or ice cream. The boys are getting along well, and had a full blown war of the stuffed pet toys going this evening. I just did the old "duck and cover"...and figured if worse came to worse I'd duck behind Scoote. :giggle: I have the feeling that life in a household of two teenage boys and a pack of animals is going to be interesting!

One more day of school and week 1 is complete. We're headed to Disney's Animal Kingdom on Saturday to belatedly celebrate the Rooster's 13th birthday. Should be fun! :cheesy:

Jake, so glad that you're moved and in your new place. I know that exhausted feeling, but it'll be great for you I'm sure. Once you're enjoying that patio and yard, you'll forget all about the work and hassles.

Thanks to everyone for the support and well wishes. It's been a bumpy ride, but I know it'll all work out well once we're settled in the new place.

The kiddo is kicking me off his couch so that he can go to sleep, so I'll wish you all a good night. Hugs! And :lips: baby...

Good Evening Jo,

Wow.. it sounds like you hit the ground running once you arrived. Glad to hear you got Rooster all set up for school.. sorry to hear you are still having issues the the realtor .. My Mom is selling her house as we speak and has a realtor that just decided to put her on the MLS and do a couple open houses so far.. and even when he does those.. My Mom has to email him to find out what happened?? shakes My head. So her contract with him is up in October when that hits.. she is looking elsewhere for help. So I know how you feel (sort of) grins.

Yes, I am all moved in. This weekend will be spent unpacking.. putting up blinds.. curtains.. cleaning.. decorating... and I agree.. once I get done in here and get the yard and patio going.. the move will be a distant memory. smiles.

I hope all is well on this Friday for you, scoote, and Rooster.. and that you all enjoy a peaceful weekend.

Good Evening kitchen patrons,

What a week it has been. I am so glad the weekend is upon us.. I can not even tell you. laughs. As I said above the move is done and over with.. all went well.. and the movers did an excellent job handling My goods. That is always a plus. So this weekend will be cleaning, unpacking, etc. However, I love to do it.. especially the decorating part.. and it will be nice to have everything in it's place.. rummaging though boxes for things I need is not My idea of fun. laughs.

I think an early Fall has finally arrived. The temps this week have been livable especially at night time.

Tonight is date night with My girl.. so I am surely looking forward to that. (f)

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

I hope you all have a peaceful Friday evening and a fun weekend ahead.

Here is some :tea: and :bringcoffee: and well it is Friday so we will through this :wine: in too. ..

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

Evening to all of My fellow Kitchen dwellers, hope your all doing well tonight. I wanted to stop by and say hi to everyone but also to pass along My wonderful news ........ I went to the doctor today, the one who is helping Me along in My transition, and we had a good long talk today. He has Me scheduled in for two upcoming appointments ~ on September 24th to get complete bloodwork done, and then October 1st for a physical exam to make sure all is well. If all goes well and things check out, I could very well be starting testosterone on October 1st :dance2:

I couldn't be happier knowing that My wish could come true a heck of alot sooner than I had ever expected, and I just had to share that news with all of My wonderful friends :D

JustJo
08-27-2010, 06:07 PM
what is the age difference between the boys?

They're 3 years apart...newly 13 and very soon to be 16, so we have our hands full. I keep telling Scoote that when we get the house I'm gonna just shove food out to the pool area and run to hide in the bedroom. :giggle:

Good evening all :)

Dinner tonight is roast beef, mashed potatoes, brown gravy and some steamed broccoli. No decision on dessert yet though :cheesy:

So glad to hear you're moved in Jake. It's an exhausting process. Ironically, the seller's realtor is more on the ball than ours, but it seems like we're moving forward again. We'll be living out of suitcases for a few weeks or a month...but I keep telling myself it will be worth it in the end.

Braedon, I'm so happy for you...and hope it's everything you want it to be. :rrose: The older I get, the more I think it doesn't actually matter what you want in life...as long as you know what equals happiness for you and pursue it. I work a lot with seniors, and the only really heartfelt regrets I hear about aren't the mistakes people made, but rather the things they always wanted to do and never did.

Rooster is after my laptop again...so I'll be back when he relinquishes possession. :)

Hugs to you all. And :lips: baby.... :love1:

Good afternoon Everyone,

Hope you all are having a good Saturday and that you all are relaxing. It has been hectic around my house the last few days; trying to get everything finalized for school, having my bro look at my car and finding out that I broke one of my motor mounts. Thank goodness he knows how to fix cars and the parts are cheap, so he is going to do it. I have an Avon meeting today at 5:30p or I would have gone swimming with Lisa and the kids at her aunt's house.

Hugs to all and see you tonight,

Zimmy

Good Afternoon lovely kitchen patrons,

Well it is a breezy and sunny day here today.. and I am liking it alot. Just being able to have the windows open and a cool breeze blowing through My place is enough to make Me smile.

I am still unpacking.. right now I have the livingroom almost all put together.. I just have to hang My artwork and set up My jewelry table.. and I should be pretty much done. The only thing left will be to decide what type of drapes to put in here .. and also install blinds. Also, I found out as I was arranging the furniture yesterday that I now have room for a fish tank. I have had one in all the places I have lived since I can not remember when. So I will probably do a 30 gallon again.. and it will be freshwater. I have tried a saltwater once before.. and while they are beautiful.. they are also alot of maintenance.. and you want to pitch a fit if a fish dies.. because the fish are quite expensive.

Other than that.. spending time with My girl.. which is a joy in itself.. tonight is date night .. (f) :love1:

I hope everyone is having a peaceful Sunday.. and gearing up for the week ahead..

Waves to Jo, scoote, Zimmy, Braedon, durrrrrrr, morningstar, Incubus, Abby.. and anyone else I missed.

For My sweet girl.. .(f) (f) (f) (f) (f) .. where the fireflies go..

Oh and here is some.. :tea: and :bringcoffee: for those who wish to partake..

Good evening everyone :)

We've been busy, busy...and sounds like we aren't the only ones.

Pizza is good....and I have baked ham, mashed potatoes and green beans for those that prefer it. :eating:

We finally heard from the asset manager, who hiked the price of the house a bit on us (expected). Still a good value, so we're saying yes and trying to move it all along so we can get Rooster off the couch and into a room and a bed again.

The road here has been bumpy. We had one kitty vanish right before we moved, and no sightings from either the tenant or the friend who was going to look. Another cat vanished on Saturday. He's always been one of those half-wild ones (half Siamese and never very friendly)...so he's probably fine, but it's been a bit rough on Rooster. Six months ago we had 8 animals, and now we're down to 3...one aging bunny died, the other given away to a nice woman who takes them to nursing homes and schools...2 cats vanished...and one dog given to a friend.

Hopefully we'll be able to close quickly on the house and get everyone settled.

Hope school went well Zimmy :) And glad to hear that Jake is getting settled in to the new place. I'm not sure what to say about the gigolo bike durrrrrrr and dark_crystal... :giggle:

Hope everyone has a good evening...and decaf is on for those that would like a cuppa this evening. :bringcoffee:

:lips: baby....

Good Evening Durrrrr,

I loved my class! Found out that I will be dissecting a human brain, eyeball and a cat by December...I told my mom and she was all grossed out. Hehe...

Loved the Gigolo bike pic! I can imagine someone in Key West rocking that bike..

Hope you had a good day and night,

Heya Jo Jo,

Loved class! I found my textbook for my Microbiology class on Ebay for $22, now I can take my textbook back and return it. My anatomy professor is telling us, that we don't need the $218 textbook, so I am taking Lisa's anatomy book in tomorrow and if he approves it, then another textbook will be returned! I am sending hugs to all of you! Losing a pet, especially one that is a member of the family, is rough. How did Rooster like Disney?

I am off to read my anatomy lab manual and do the exercises in it!

Hope you all stay safe from Hurricane Earl!

Hugs,

Zimmy

Good morning everyone :)

Running late and just making a quick dash through...setting out fresh fruit, bagels and cream cheese...and putting on a pot of coffee as well :bringcoffee:

I've got less time to post in the morning since the daily schedule here is a bit whackier for me, at least until we get into our house. Instead of one kiddo going to school 5 minutes from the house, there are two separate runs....the Prince to the high school and then Rooster to the middle school...and then back again in the afternoon...and the schools are both close to the new house and farther from the current apartment.

Disney on Saturday was fun...both Rooster and I have been going every year for the last 5 or so, but it was Scoote and the Prince's first Disney experience. :)

I'm off to finish up my "homework" before my mentoring call. Soooo glad to hear school is going well Zimmy...and bravo to you for being able to do those dissections. I'd lose my cookies :giggle:

Have a great day everyone :)

Good Evening Everyone,

Well the professor ok'd Lisa's anatomy book, so I am going to be returning it in the morning! I am returning $370 worth of textbooks and I am excited...My biology teacher hasn't posted anything about what our homework is going to be this week, so I am kinda getting worried. I have my first microbiology lab tomorrow morning at 8am and I am done with classes at 5pm; then I am coming home to do homework..

Jo Jo, Disney is a lot of fun. You, Scoote and the boys should go during the winter when MGM studios does the Festival of the Lights; it is very gorgeous! We are having another get together in October. A few of us from the dash site are getting together for Orlando Pride which is the weekend of October 10th and we are meeting up for the parade if you all want to join us.

Have a good night, I am off to finish studying for my anatomy class,

Good Evening to all the fine kitchen patrons,

Can I just get this out of the way?? I am OVER the heat and humidity. I have one a/c unit in My new place and it is not pushing out enough BTU's to cool the whole place down. It is so hot and humid that I do not even want to move. mutters. I hate to go and spend $ on a bigger unit when more than likely cooler temps should be arriving. However, I can not rely on the weather guessers either. So I am probably going to bite the bullet and buy another unit and install it here in the livingroom, this is just unbearable.

laughing. Because I know scoote is going to come in here and say.. "what is the problem, there is nothing wrong with heat and humidity?"...

Work is going great.. just trying to adjust to a different type of schedule than I have ever had before. However, the company is awesome and that makes it worthwhile.

I pretty much have the place together. I need to install the blinds and curtains this coming weekend.. where I believe our temps are supposed to go down into the 70's.. there is no way in the hottest days of Hell I am doing it in this heat. laughs.

I hope everyone is celebrating the National Holiday of Hump Day in fine fashion. grins.

Waves to scoote, Jo, Zimmy, My Bro Braedon, durrrrrrr, dc, morningstar, Incubus, Abby.. and anyone I missed.

Two more days and the weekend is upon us !!!! Hang in there everyone.

Here is some :tea: and :bringcoffee: to help us along.

Also, I am setting out a dinner buffet... grilled style.. steak, chicken, seafood, grilled veggies.. tossed salad, coleslaw (made from scratch by My girl).. baked beans.. corn on the cob... and all the condiments to go with.

Oh and some ice cold Iced Tea !!

Enjoy everyone.

Good evening all :) ...and thank you for dinner Jake. It sounds yummy! :girleating:

Today was a good day, and I'm sooooo glad to be down here with my sweetie.

I hear you on the heat Jake. Being up there in the heatwave with no a/c was killing me. It's hot and humid here, but you really only feel it when you're outside, or hopping into that hot car. The apartment, like most places here, has central air, so it's blissfully cool.

Braedon...hope things get better for you. You're in my thoughts. :rrose:

We got to babysit a little angel this afternoon...her pic is in Scoote's gallery. Such a doll...if we didn't like her mama so much we'd be tempted to steal her. :giggle:

Hope you all have a good evening. :)

:lips: baby...

Thank you Jake for dinner! I had a busy day today with all of my classes. Started the day with my microbiology lab until 11am and then went to my anatomy class from 12:30 until 5p and then I went and had dinner at my mom's house.

My sweetie is working late, but homework is done, the boys are fed, dishes are washed and her plate is waiting for whenever she makes it back. It's been a busy day for both of us! I even managed to be productive at work...even on very little sleep....so I probably won't make it up late tonight. :giggle:

Hope you're all having a lovely evening, and are enjoying some well deserved relaxation. :)

:lips: baby....you might have to nuke it... :seeingstars: Sorry your employees are such pitas.

Good evening everyone :)

It's been a long week, and my eyelids are drooping already. I even asked Scoote to bring home pizza for dinner :giggle:

I'm glad it's a 3 day weekend...just wish it was for my sweetie as well. We're thinking it's a beach day on Saturday. For Sunday and Monday it's just me, the Prince and Rooster...so we'll have to see if we can come up with something fun to do.

Anyone have fun plans?

Good Evening Jo Jo,

I am going to be staying home this weekend and studying for a microbiology quiz that is due at 8am on Monday morning.

How about taking the kids to the movies? If they still have the Karate Kid movie out, it was cute and family friendly!

Have a good night and have fun at the beach tomorrow!

Today is Pride Calgary... :rainbowAfro: woohoo...off to hang out with some good friends, watch the parade and grab a bite to eat..then back home.

Good Morning Zimmy,

Yes, you will do better the next time around. I can feel that disappointment.. and just let it go... you will have more chances.. and look at it this way... on that questions you got incorrect.. you now know what you need to study on a bit more. I am not a great test taker at all.. I used to love doing the homework. However, when it came to tests I would freeze and My mind would go blank.. so take heart.. perhaps a new style of studying is in order? smiles.

A haunting movie before bedtime? you are brave. laughs. I hope you enjoyed the movie. I also hope you had a wonderful weekend..

you are off from school today, yes? If so, I hope you treat yourself to something wonderful.

Thank you for the nighttime wishes. smiles.

As Always,
Jake

Breakfast is on me this morning...I am in the mood to cook...some bacon and pancakes...hmmm....maybe banana pancakes with raspberry syrup.....of course coffee, tea, Dr. Pepper, and juice du jour.

Zimmy...keep up the good work on your grades. They do matter when you graduate...it can give you the edge when it comes to job hunting. Of course, I am a nerd when it comes to that lol. I had a 3.8 and made the dean's list every semester...and had NO life while in school...so maybe you don't want to listen to me :)

Off to play for a bit then get seriously down on some laundry...or maybe start laundry now then play...either way I want to spend some time with my Butch this morning before Hy has to run off to workie for the day.

Have a wonderful day!

Good Morning to all the wonderful Kitchen peoples,

Another weekend behind Me.. and sadly I do not have today off.. however, I will get paid time and a half or double time for working it.. so I guess that is the bright side. laughs. Also, My girl and I get to spend time together this morning before I go in.. because she has the day off... so that is the brighter bright side. (f)

I am 99% unpacked.. just a couple of boxes to go and the place will be done. I received a great compliment from My landlord who stopped by over the weekend in regards to how clean and well decorated the place is.. so that made Me feel good. I take pride in My surroundings.

I hope everyone had a great weekend.. and if you have today off.. you are continuing the same..

Waves to Jo, scoote, Zimmy, morningstar, durrrrrrr, dc, Braedon (Matthew), Incubus, Abby, and anyone else I missed.

Hola Mi Amigos!

Jake, I have coloring pencils that I am using to color in the different sections of the abdominal cavity for anatomy and it is a lot of fun. I am going to study harder for the next quiz and I am not worried about the previous quiz.

MountainStar, I had a 3.0 for two years while at DeVry and made the National Dean's List and I am going to work myself silly to make a good grade..Us Nerds are cute and I love messing with my best friend, when I can answer a question on Jeopardy that she has no clue what it is...Heheh..

Scoote, Glad to hear that you all are doing good down in South Florida! Hopefully they will hurry up and get you all moved into that house! Lottery Gods are against us working class ppl, since most of the ppl who hit the Lottery are wealthy...

Have fun, I am off to watch a movie on NetFlix before I finish up my homework..

Good afternoon everyone :)

It's been a busy, but fun weekend...lots of beach time, shell hunting and today shopping for new beds for the boys (and bedroom furniture for the Prince as well). We actually had fun at the furniture store...Rooster wanted to bring home a massage chair...then a stop at Barnes & Noble for latte and new books...a quick stop to deliver lunch to Scoote (and a pizza making lesson for Rooster)...and finally back home again supervising the last of the Rooster's weekend homework.

I'm glad you're enjoying the drama-free zone MStar :) It's my favorite place for sure.

Sounds like your new place is working out well Jake. I'll be glad when we can do the same and get unpacked and decorate. It will feel sooooo good.

And I agree with the others Zimmy...don't sweat the test. It's not a great feeling, but it does show you where you need to focus your studying efforts. I'm sure you'll do well in the end. :rrose:

Not a clue what I'm making for dinner tonight....hmmmmm.....

Hugs to all....and if the Rooster relinquishes the computer I'll be back! :)

Hey everyone, been a few days but I'm back! I did get accepted into that course I applied for, but then I got waitlisted so now I have to wait for a spot to come open (if one even does). So right now I'm checking out another option (which could take a month or more to see if it pans out), and in the meantime I'm busy sending out resumes ~ if school doesn't happen, then I'm going to work.

Hope everyone has a great rest of their day :),

I am off to study for my anatomy class and hopefully my group member won't start crying again today..She didn't tel any of us that she is partially blind in one eye and couldn't focus the microscope until twenty minutes before class ended...My other two group members wouldn't help her, so I helped her focus the microscope.

Good (late) Morning all you lovely Kitchen patrons,

Exactly... where ARE Jo and scoote????? We miss you both.. please come back soon.. until then we will keep the kitchen open and waiting for you both.

Another start to a week.. I am slowly but surely getting used to this schedule.. however, there are days like today that My mind just does not want to wrap around it.

This week is Birthday week for Me (this Thursday).. I will have to work, unless I decide to ask for it off.. which I am contemplating so My girl and I can have a date night that evening. We shall see.

Zimmy I hope you are studying hard over there.. and kicking that microbiology's ass.. grins..

Waves to Jo, scoote, Zimmy, durrrrrr, morninstar, Matthew, Incubus, dc, Mystic, Abby and anyone else I might have missed. I hope you all have a peaceful start to your week.

MSTAR....i understand we will be meeting up for lunch next month...is this correct? if so i cant wait... i know Jo is excited as well!...i'll let you 2 work out details tho if thats ok :)

Jake...happy early birthday--in case Thursday rolls around and i forget...which tends to happen a lot lately...old age perhaps?

Zimmy....hope school is going good for you!

DC i saw something bout brownies and caramel...got any left?

Mountain......hope everything is going good on the road

Durrrrrrrr (i remembered to count 8 r's lol) hope things up in ur part of the state are good

Now....i gotta tell u all something i learned over the weekend...dont tell Jo i told y'all tho...we went to Sanibel Island for weekend for my kids bday...stayed at the Residence Inn by Marriot....very nice hotel...except there were some issues in our room that turn my sweet,well mannered,quiet girlfriend into a white trash trailer park brawler contemplating on meeting the desk clerk in the parking lot after her shift to beat her down....now i must say at first i was a bit surprised but as the veins in her neck started to bulge to the point of being able to see her pulse,watching as spit spewed from between her clenched teeth i became a lil turned on---of course i didnt tell her bc i was quite enjoying this newly discovered side of her...needless to say she danaged to get 50% off of our stay....

we did have a good time over all tho...saw 3 manatees cruising the shoreline and watched 3 dolphins playing in the wake of the boat....not to mention we found some great shells...add to that the fact that my baby can no longer be called casper the ghost as she is getting some color from this wonderful Florida sun

and just an fyi....we havent left the planet we are just trying to adjust to our cramped living arrangements, getting used to one anothers quirks and things,the slowness with which the bank is moving and an agent that is--well lets just say i believe JO is contemplating hunting him down and kicking some sense into him

so i hope everyones Monday is going well and JO says hi

Good Morning Everyone,

School has gone to the back of my brain for the second. I have some family probs that I am dealing with. It was so bad on Labor Day, that my mother wouldn't stop crying. My bro's ex g/f and the mother of his 3 year old daughter moved to the Fort Lauderdale area without telling anyone to live with some guy that she had met off of the internet. My brother came unglued and had to borrow the money to get an attorney and take her dumb ass to court. So needless to say, my classes are suffering right now but I am working very hard this week to catch up.

I am thinking of a huge breakfast this morning with whatever it is you all want and plenty of coffee....

Have fun today,

Zimmy

scoooteeeeeee... Good to see you.. well I had imagined you both were busy settling in and trying to get the house situation sorted.. and with the kids starting school, etc.. nods.. Good to see you back for a bit though. Also, I have to say (looks around for Jo).. the above story made Me laugh.. grins.. I am glad you had nice time regardless.. I was in FL for a year.. and never made it to Sanibel.. however, I hear it is lovely.

Thank you for the early Birthday wishes.. ah yes.. old age.. I might be plotting that line as well My friend.. laughs. Honestly though, I am good with My age.. however, there are times I just look back wonder where all the years have gone.

Oh and another surprise.. I am working on a plan right now to meet My girl in FL at the end of the month.. soooooooo.. you both might be meeting Me as well... smiles.. I already have the time off work.. right now it is just getting a good flight with good times.. so we can maximize our time together before she is off on her cruise.. keep your fingers crossed.

Waves back and says Hi to Jo.. miss you both.. Hope this note finds you both in good spirits and making headway on your housing situation.

Good Morning Zimmy,

Wow.. I am sorry to hear this. That has to have made your Brother just red hot and worried about his daughter. I can not even imagine. Especially knowing that the ex just took off and is moving in with someone she barely knows. Doing it on your own is one thing.. involving a child is another ball of wax all together. I will keep your family in My thoughts.. especially your niece.. because she out of everyone is not old enough to make a choice as to where she resides...nods.

Zimmy, you also have to take care of you. I understand you are upset for your Brother and worried about your niece and Mom too..but you have to try your best to keep at those studies.. as best you can.. or talk to your professors and ask for a bit of leeway until you can get back at it full steam. I know it is hard to put your worries aside and keep your nose to the grindstone.. I have been there .. especially in college.. however, just do the best you can.. and like I mentioned let your professors know if you need some extra time with things.. I found that when I clued Mine in.. they were more than willing to give Me some help rather than see My grades suffer.

Also, you have friends here.. and I am sure all of us.. would help in some way if you needed.. so please do not hesitate to ask.. you can PM Me.. if you need any help with your studies.. or just to talk. ok?

you are in our thoughts.

As Always,
Jake

My bro's ex g/f and the mother of his 3 year old daughter moved to the Fort Lauderdale area without telling anyone to live with some guy that she had met off of the internet. My brother came unglued and had to borrow the money to get an attorney and take her dumb ass to court. So needless to say, my classes are suffering right now but I am working very hard this week to catch up.

I am thinking of a huge breakfast this morning with whatever it is you all want and plenty of coffee....

Have fun today,

Zimmy

good morning kitcheneers....another beautiful day here in south florida

Jake....i use old age as an excuse more often than not....seems to work well most of time..*chuckles* that would be cool if we could all meet up at end of month...maybe talk to JO...she is a genius at finding low airfares--just ask Zimmy...as i recall she found a great rate for her to fly clear from other side of country back home to florida

my honey is fixing lasagna for dinner...i'll have her fix enough for everybody....maybe a nice green salad,some mozzarella cheese bread as well....did i mention she is an awesome cook?

ok i guess i need to get back to work....hope everyone has a wonderful day!!

....did i mention she is an awesome cook?



Are you sucking up after sharing my "less than ladylike" behavior with our friends? :giggle:

Good evening everyone :) and there's plenty of lasagna left over, so that's what we're having tonight. :chef2:

It has been busy, with lots of adjustments, but overall we're getting it sorted out on the important stuff. The boys are getting along as well as two teenage boys can (which means flying objects and fart jokes mixed in with the companionable silences and real conversations.) We've lost two cats in the move (one still in NY and one shortly after we got here)...but the remaining critters are settling in well. And, even though annoyingly slow, we're actually making progress on the house.

Sanibel and Captiva were beautiful...and I loved seeing the dolphins and manatees...wading out waist deep into the gulf to hunt for shells. And...bulging neck veins aside...I didn't jump over the front desk and slap the clerk (richly deserved and ooooooooohhhhhh so tempting)...so I did good! :bomb:

Absolutely can't wait to meet you MStar and Jake....and I'm happy to help research airfares if needed. :) And I hope things work out in the family Zimmy...that kind of thing is so hard to take. It always amazes me how many people don't think of their children first.

Rooster is going to be stealing my laptop soon...but I'll try to do better at dropping in! :)

Good Evening Jake,

Thank you! If Jo Jo hadn't found me that riducuously cheap flight, I would have had to take a Greyhound bus home from Seattle...

I am doing a lot better this week and I am truly enjoying my classes. I told one of my group members that she needed to either shape up or ship out. Thank you for the support and I will be going to court that day. The hardest thing about all of this, is that next Tuesday the 21st will be her 4th birthday and the first one that my family will not be celebrating. My bro did the best thing and that was hire a lawyer. I am looking forward to Pride in October, when a few of us from the dash site are going to get together on October 10th and have a blast.

Scoot, if you, Jo Jo and the kids want to attend then come join us and help us make Orlando never forget us...Hehe...


How are you doing tonight? I am off to study for my anatomy class and take the 2 quizzes and submit my homework for this week..

Night to you and MountainStar,

Zimmy

Good Morning Zimmy,

Wow.. I am sorry to hear this. That has to have made your Brother just red hot and worried about his daughter. I can not even imagine. Especially knowing that the ex just took off and is moving in with someone she barely knows. Doing it on your own is one thing.. involving a child is another ball of wax all together. I will keep your family in My thoughts.. especially your niece.. because she out of everyone is not old enough to make a choice as to where she resides...nods.

Zimmy, you also have to take care of you. I understand you are upset for your Brother and worried about your niece and Mom too..but you have to try your best to keep at those studies.. as best you can.. or talk to your professors and ask for a bit of leeway until you can get back at it full steam. I know it is hard to put your worries aside and keep your nose to the grindstone.. I have been there .. especially in college.. however, just do the best you can.. and like I mentioned let your professors know if you need some extra time with things.. I found that when I clued Mine in.. they were more than willing to give Me some help rather than see My grades suffer.

Also, you have friends here.. and I am sure all of us.. would help in some way if you needed.. so please do not hesitate to ask.. you can PM Me.. if you need any help with your studies.. or just to talk. ok?

you are in our thoughts.

As Always,
Jake

scoote.. laughs.. you know .. you and I both laugh and chuckle about the "old age" thing.. however, the scary part it.. it is so very true. It is like when you first get up in the morning.. and all those aches and pains.. from sleeping in one position all night.. start to pop and snap.. laughs.. ah well.. you know in the grand scheme of things. .. we could all be much worse off.. yes? smiles.

Hi Jo ... I can not wait to meet you and scoote too.. ah yes... I hear you are the guru of airfare.. grins.. My girl actually found a pretty decent rate through.. JetBlue.. it just amazes Me though the amount they charge when you want to fly down just for a couple of days and right back.. it is actually cheaper to stay longer.. and if I could.. I would indeed.. and get on that big ship with My girl.. smiles..

I am glad things are starting to settle down for you and scoote and the kids.. as much as you can be settled down right now..

Sending good thoughts your way..

Good Evening Zimmy,

smiles. I am glad you are doing alot better this week.. and you are welcome. That is just a shame ... having her go through her birthday with all of this going on. You know I would like to say.. well she is 4 and she will not remember it.. however, kids these days are alot more "savvy" and pick up on things I think.. than even when I was that age... I remember bits and pieces.. however, even My niece and nephew remember things from a young age.. I hope there is some way to let her have a special day.. even with all of this going on.

Oh and you are right.. the best thing your brother could have done was getting that lawyer.. he needs to get everything hammered out and down on paper..

That is cool that you are going to "do up" Pride in October.. that will be a nice break for you from your studies and all of the family stuff going on.

I hope you have a peaceful rest of the evening after your homework is done.

As Always,
Jake

When she comes home, we are going to throw her a huge ass birthday party. I just finished both of my quizzes for the biolgoy lab class and since I have been up since 5am, I am thinking of going to bed early and finish my anatomy homework in the morning.

I am looking forward to my trip to Orlando. I will be going on October 2nd for an Avon conferance and then on the 10th to hang out with friends during Pride.

Glad to hear that you was able to find a cheap flight so you and your girl can have a few days together.

Have a good night,

Zimmy

good evening kitcheneers........boy do i got a story for you all....i took Jo and Rooster out to dinner....nice sports grill called Duffys...great food,atmosphere,about a gazillion tvs playing all types of sports...anyway we ordered an app and our food at same time....well food comes out first then a couple minutes behind it was our app-----NOT good...matter fact i was a bit put off and taken aback bc i have ALWAYS had great service at this place....well we discuss it briefly as we eat..Jo excuses herself from table---im assuming bathroom break--she comes back and informs me that they are taking app off ticket...apparently she went to talk to the mgr about the whole experince....now she swears she was very nice,polite,smiled,but next thing we know here comes the mgr and he comped the ENTIRE check....now ive seen her str8 from trailer park side and i assure u if she even showed a tad bit of that i can understand why the mgr comped our meal....lol

Good morning everyone... :bringcoffee: coffee is on, and breakfast is cooking...I'm thinking cripsy bacon and pancakes (blueberries optional).

Good to see that a good time was had by all last night....cuz I'd hate to be the only one :)

I think Scoote is working on destroying my angelic reputation! I really didn't show my nasty side to the manager last night....seriously! (Although I sure did at the hotel in Sanibel). I'm just funny about cruddy service and refuse to pay for it.

The prince is safely delivered to high school, and now it's time to get Rooster fed and ready for school as well. Scoote's snoozing away :alarm: ...I've got the morning shift since I'm more of an early bird than she is. The boys have early dismissal today, and I promised Rooster a trip to DisneyQuest tomorrow so it should be a fun weekend.

Hope you all have a great day! :gimmehug:

Good Morning Matthew,

You are so welcome!!!! Coffee has become my main staple in the morning...It helps keep me awake during anatomy class.

My mom is throwing her a Hello Kitty birthday party tonight and bought her a HK tiara yesterday. Becca, who is my niece, saw my oldest niece's HK birthday party and wanted one like that. I am going today to pick up a HK bed pillow for her from Target.

How is everything going with you? Have you heard anything out about school?

Hugs my friend and have a good day,

Zimmy

Its good to hear that your niece will be up for her birthday, hope you all have fun making it special for her ......... oh yeah, and thank you for the iced coffee and ice cream, yummmmmmm :cheesy:[/FONT]

Jo Jo, Hae fun at DisneyQuest with the kids today!

I am off to go study my anatomy and microbiology homework..

See you all in a bit,

is home , after a eventful trip, last night left out from truck stop in Monroe,MI to head to canada,6 miles down the highway, just got dark, suddenly all these cars r hitting brakes and some swirving around something laying in the road, it was part in my lane so i am trying to avoid from running over it and not hit a car, i never saw what it was thought it was a deer,
turnd out it was a person that got hit.. * deep sigh .. i didnt have my CB on so didnt know ahead of time... after i almost ran over it, and saw a bunch of cars and a semi pull over, i turned on CB and asked.. what was that i n the ROAD?? 2 or 3 drivers said someone got hit trying to cross the interstate.. :(
im still kinda freaked about it all.... it just happend when i came across everything....... * whew**. anyways home now.
you soo welcome Zimms..... and hideho Kitchen dwellers.

Yikes! I cannot imagine running across something like that Morning...wow...eek...yes that freaks me out....oh my goodness. Hope you are okay and they are okay...but not sure how the person crossing the road is doing.

So....steak tonight....with salad and some red wine. I need a glass after today.

So looking forward to Florida and seeing Jo and Scoote while on the arm of Jake...big happy sigh...I am counting down...

and I so remember Jo and Scoote's countdowns...and the tuck ins....omg..:praying: no one remembers the videos from the old house! :canoworms:Whoopsie...did I open that? hehehe

Speaking of tiaras...I now have two..taking them with me....because a girl never knows when she is going to need a tiara handy..or a super soaker...or glow in the dark necklaces...or her very own set of animated ears and a tail...it will be halloween on the ship after all...they gayest of all holidays!!

Yikes morningstar....that's scary. I can't imagine what that would have been like!

And yippee for seeing MStar and Jake at the end of next month! :cheer:

Thanks Zimmy...DisneyQuest was fun with the boys, although we made Scoote a bit nauseous on the Pirates of the Caribbean simulator 3-D thing. And she and I stink at the Buzz Lightyear bumper car thingie too...everyone kept shooting us (including the boys), so we spent most of our time spinning in circles and laughing, unable to fight back.

We just got back from a beach stroll after dinner...one of the nicest parts about being in FL. :)

Scoote managed to drop her laptop and it's DOA...so now she has to compete with Rooster and I for time on this one. :giggle: Don't worry...we'll let her have a turn now and again.

Hope you're all having a relaxing evening. MStar's dinner sounds yummy...we had meatloaf and baked potatoes...a personal favorite of mine. :)

Sorry Morning to hear of what happened.

I am sending that person's family my thoughts and prayers for their loved one.

The birthday party was a lot of fun and she will be back up with her dad this weekend, so she will be spoiled by my mom and stepdad again.

Have a good day and hopefully you have the day off,

I would have loved to have seen you and Scoote on the Buzz Lightyear bumper cars. Your two boys must have been laughing hard.

A few of us from the dash site are meeting up on October 10th in Orlando for their Pride, if you all want to join us. We are meeting up at the Panera Bread by Lake Eola Park.

Have a good day today!

Good Morning Jo,

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah.. for the end of next month.. I can not wait to meet you and scoote as well.. and to be able to do so with My girl on My arm.. just makes Me feel like I have fireflies in My stomach. *gets all sheepish*

Oh I would have loved to been with you on and going on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride... I have all of the movies.. .and watch them over and over.. although My stomach tends to get "funky" depending on the speed and all that of the ride.. however, for that ride I would have toughed it out. I also want to get down there and see the new Harry Potter exhibit they just built. They were doing the build while I was living there.

I would agree that has to be a lovely end to a meal and the day.. a stroll at the beach as long as it is not a zillion degree (winks at scoote)... I like taking walks here especially now that Fall has come and the leaves are turning on the trees and falling.. beautiful. (knows Jo remembers this).

Uhoh @ the DOA laptop.. why do I envision rock-paper-scissors happening.. laughs.

Well I am glad you all are settling in.. slow but sure.. we miss you both when you are not around.

Big hugs.

As Always,
Jake

Good Morning Everyone,

I am nervous as all get out. I have my anatomy lab midterm on Thursday and I am feeling confident I can pass it, I just don't like taking tests.

I am thinking of brain food this morning...How does eggs, oatmeal, toast, coffee<plenty of it>, tea, soda's and juice sound for breakfast?

Hope you all have a good day,

Waves to scoote, Jo, Zimmy, morninstar, durrrrr, and anyone else I missed.. I hope you all have a peaceful and productive Tuesday.

However, some how I was able to pass. I just alot of help from My sis on the studying part. Good Luck.. I am sure you will do great.

Hey sweetheart,

Did you notice that Jo glided right over the "videos from the old house"..? *grins*.. now inquiring minds want to know just what is inside that can o' worms. *laughs*

I can not wait for next month.. for so many reasons.. the main one being able to escort you to dinner.. seeing Florida in a whole different way.. most of all in a happy one.. seeing the smile on your face.. and enjoying some peaceful time together..

Oh and meeting Jo and scoote too.. grins.

I :heartbeat: you

The little devils were cracking up at us...laughing and :pointing: as we spun helplessly in circles with our lights flashing. I still maintain that my driving was flawless, but Scoote had aiming issues with the cannon...just sayin'! :winky:

I'll check the calendar about October 10 and talk to Scoote. Even if we can't make it to Pride I'd still love to meet you in person! :)

I know you will do just fine...and I'll be sending you big "test-taking energy." I don't suppose that old song would help....the one about the knee bone connected to the thigh bone? :giggle:

Good Evening Jo Jo,

I would have helped you make Scoote go around and around, hehe..I am being a brat right now. Lisa was quizzing me tonight and I was proud of myself, I was answering her questions without having to think about it. I have two midterms for my anatomy class, one on the lab portion and one on the lecture portion. October 10th is a Sunday and pride starts at Noon. It is being held at Lake Eola, whcih is a gorgeous lake...It has black and white swans swimming in it...I don't have classes on Friday to Sunday until December 17th. Maybe we can all plan some kind of holiday gathering for everyone on both sites?

I thought that was Tom Cruise whizzing by....I sold all of those videos and the proceeds went to help Haiti in their relief efforts..Hehe....

Hope you all are having a good night and hopefully Scoote gets a new laptop soon..

Have a good night,

Zimmy

Glad to hear the studying is paying off Zimmy...I know you're going to do great on those tests. :)

We're planning a lazy, sleep as late as we can, kind of weekend. We've all been running hard...and the Rooster isn't sleeping as well as he could (first on the couch and now on an inflatable mattress on the floor). We'll all be hugely relived when we can get into the house, let Rooster have a bedroom again, and everyone in their nice beds. Personally I think I'll be most grateful to not be sharing one bathroom between 4 people, 2 of which are teenage boys. Just sayin' :seeingstars:

Off to work for me...sending you all hugs and hoping you have a great day. I'll be baking brownies in a bit (don't tell Scoote)...I'll make a double batch so there's enough for everyone. :gimmehug:

the brownies ARE delicious....this woman can cook let me tell ya!
Jake glad u will be joining MS next month...it will be great im sure

Zimmy.....good luck on ur test....im sure u will do fine

:perv: said videos have mysteriously disappeared,but i assure you...it showed JOs not so clean and innocent side

now poor Rooster is being a champ about his sleeping arrangements,but even for a 13 y.o its gotta be hard....on the upside him and my prince are bonding well

Jo and Rooster brought animals with them..theres a lil mini weiner dog named shadow--well named bc he is always under foot...not to mention if someone else is getting attention or love this damn dog cries and whines about it...so instead of letting it bother me anymore i now have fun with it...i will over play the fact that im giving hugs or love to Jo just to mess with the dog....i keep telling Jo it really needs therapy,but alas the damn dog is still at my feet crying like a lil girl so i am now taking advantage of every chance i get to tease it.....call it tough love if u will!

about that damn puter of mine....i have dropped it on my glass coffee table,Friday night i dropped it in the parking lot at work---worked fine...Saturday morning i was checking something while sitting on bed,went to set it on carpeted floor,it slipped out of my hand,fell less than 2 feet,and the damn monitor is now broken....wtf....however my wonderful g/f informed me that Dell is sending out a replacement sooooo *happy dance* as soon as i get it i can keep everyone up to date on the going ons around our house---unfortunately my memory isnt that long so altho i know i told Jo i was gonna post about things,i cant seem to remember now what they were

anyway im gonna go pretend to work i reckon.....hope everyone is having a great day ttys

Just put yourself in the poor puppy's paws and think how you'd feel if you got teased like that while wanting some attention from your humans.

Good morning kitcheneers :)

:bringcoffee: Coffee is on, Scoote is sleeping (she's sick...sore throat, stuffed sinuses and generally miserable), and I'm taking the boys out to breakfast and whatever so she can rest (and I can get waited on...there's a method to my madness)

Meet you all in the corner booth for pancakes and sausage! :eating:

Matthew, don't worry about Shadow (although I swear he does need therapy)...Scoote will love up on me and tease him....then next thing she's got him tucked under the covers with her scratching his ears. :giggle: He adores her, second only to the Rooster. He is being teased at the moment though...he had a day at the doggie spa for bath, nail clipping, etc. He came out all shiny and cute...and sporting a striped bandana. Rooster told him he looked like a bandido...and it went to his head...next thing we know he's chasing the neighbor's great big dog across the parking lot, acting ferocious and barking his head off! Crazy little mutt! :)

The Prince is ready....so we're off...everyone have a great day! :)

I have my coffee. I'm willing to share... anybody???

Good morning everyone :) and welcome to the kitchen justjoanie :rrose:

We had a good day yesterday...after breakfast out we went to ToysRUs...something Rooster hasn't enjoyed for awhile since they closed the one close to us years ago, and something the Prince would have said he was too cool for. They both ended up with some new toys, and a pair of Nerf swords that have been used steadily since for raging battles on the lawn. (And, yes, I was involved in the battle in the store aisles...had to show them what mom could still do :giggle: )

Scoote slept most of the last 2 days, but had to go back to work this morning. Luckily she's feeling a lot better and not as congested...the bad news is that Sunday is a long day for her, so I'm hoping she takes it easy as much as possible.

Anyone have fun plans for the day?

:bringcoffee: Coffee is on, and breakfast is served :chef2: Minced ham in scrambled eggs with just a little cheddar cheese, toast, and fresh fruit salad of bananas, kiwi and green seedless grapes. :) Enjoy!

Good Morning Jo Jo,

I am going to finish up my homework for microbiology and study for the second part of my anatomy mid term. I am looking forward to Pride in Orlando. The Nerf sword fight sounds cute and when my nephew was down, he got a Nerf dart Tommy gun and he kept shooting everyone with it. I had Lisa laughing hysterically this morning. I have been giving Elijah some yogurt for breakfast and he deciced that the banana flavor was better on his clothes and body. I posted a pic of it up on FaceBook. Needless to say, I had to find a washcloth to wipe him down with and I am still chuckling at his silly self.

Hope Scoote feels better soon!

Have fun today,

Zimmy

You figured me out! I am always going to be a Toys R Us kid and no one can change that. I am blaming my current run of silliness on my anatomy midterms and the dark purple aritificial nails I had put on Thursday...The color reminds me of when I was in my early 20's and attending college for the first time...

How are you doing? Did you get accepted into college? The other day, I was driving down the interstate to college and Motley Crue's, "Kickstart My Heart", came on followed by Ride the Lightening by Metallica and I am glad the state troopers weren't around...:|

Hugs my friend and have a good day,

<I am off to find my brain which has left my body due to the extensive tests I have been taking>...

No worries Jo, I'm sure that mutt is crazy (look at who his parents are haha) and of course I still got mad luv for My buddy Scoote :hangloose:



Good morning Morningstar :rrose:



Welcome to the Kitchen Joanie, hope you enjoyed your coffee :)



Your definately silly Zimmy, but I think Elijah is even sillier lol :sunglass:

LOL yup I figured you out, pretty scary huh? :seeingstars:

I love going to Toys 'R Us, and especially with finally being able to let My little side out (I have both a big and little side to Me) I'm looking forward to having more of My own playtime as I am also a big kid at heart and that won't ever change. My sister's birthday is coming up in November and she will be 13 but because of her autism she is still very much a big kid and you can't help but be a kid yourself around her. I plan on going to Toys 'r Us to get her birthday present, and I may even indulge My little boy and get him a couple of hot wheels cars or some lego (yay)

I did get accepted into college, however I got put on the waitlist and from what I can tell I won't get a spot this year so I've been putting out resumes in hopes of finding a job ~ I'll work until next year, and then hopefully be able to get approved for funding again and just take a course next fall. Because of My gallbladder surgery this year, I registered for college too late and was unable to secure a seat early. Oh well, atleast if I can find a job I can work for now and see where next year leads Me. Also, I went to get My blood work done on friday and will get a physical done this coming friday ~ and if all goes well, I could be starting testosterone this week so I'm nervous yet excited about this new start ............. I'm finally getting to where I want to be in life, and while its scary its also what I've been waiting so long for :D

Have a good day hun and hopefully you'll find your brain (guess its taken a hiatus for awhile) :byebye:

Oh and just to let you know, I go by Matthew now and thats the name I'll be legally becoming when I can afford to change My name ~ no worries, I know alot of people still find it weird to not call Me Braedon :)

((((Matthew))),

Congrats on getting accepted into college! Waiting is a hard thing to do, but you will get the funding to attend. I had a blast when my 10 year old niece was down for the summer. When I took her to the Hello Kitty store in Orlando, I almost bought myself a Hello Kitty iPhone case, but decided against it. I did treat myself to a Starbucks frappuccino, even though I am not supposed to have one on this diet. I was the same way when I came out as being gay, I was scared of the fact that I could lose my whole family<I am the only gay person in my family> and was happy when my mom started supporting me.

Happy birthday early to your little sister! No GI Joe's or Transformers to go with your Hot Wheel cars?

Hugs my friend and my brain is still MIA, hehe..

Good evening everyone :)

:bringcoffee: Setting down a fresh pot of coffee, a bottle of Baileys and a big bowl of homemade whipped cream...right next to a tray of homemade chocolate chip cookies.

Sorry I've been gone so much friends...things have been both busy and rocky around here. Some of the "blending families" stuff, stress from the house thing (I lost my mind and sent a super bitchy email after midnight....makes me feel crappy but it got them moving at last), and all of us except the Rooster sick with sore throats, draining sinues, coughs, headaches...and for me the special treat of fluid in my ears so I can barely hear. Joy.

Just one of those tough times when I feel surrounded by incompetence and nonsense. The good news...now that we have a bank approved contract we're probably 30 days or less from closing. Now all we have to do is get everyone healthy again, and survive the next month playing "sardines" :seeingstars:

I'm off to make dinner in real life....and I'll be back on if the Rooster lets me have some computer time (he's doing homework right now). OH...and Scoote will be re-computered shortly....hers was still under warranty and a replacement should be on the way. :)

Hugs to all. :gimmehug:

heeeeeeeeeeeeey kitcheneers....i snagged Jo puter for the day---well she allowed me to bring it to work-so thought i'd pop in and touch base.

Matthew...the dog had issues BEFORE he got to me..i'm just trying to get him right is all....and dont believe that nonsense about loving him-or any of the other animals-up...when they arent looking im pulling tails,soccer kicking them and generally being a mean ass to them---bc i AM mean like that! lol

i am feeling a lot better--not 100% but back at work..and between work and being sick and driving my sweetie completely over the edge of sanity i havent had much time to get online--well plus Rooster is a puter hog.

Welcome Joanie....please jump in and dont be scared--we are harmless--mostly.....might wanna watch out for the :girlonatv: she is a lil hyped up on chocolate and REALLY cant drive well

where is Jake and MS? havent seen them around....hope all is well with them...and all of you actually

Hi scoote... glad to see you are feeling better.. I know the flu bug is going around at work.. and given work is like "big brother" when it comes to taking time off.. everyone is coming in not feeling well.. and just spreading germs everywhere.. *knock on wood*.. I have not gotten it yet.. although My immune system usually rocks when it comes to that stuff.. thanks to My BFF getting Me to take echinacea and Ester-C every day.

Glad to see you and Jo finally got the house thing squared away.. although I saw that Jo had to "get on her broom".. it does not surprise Me though.. once you threaten to take your business elsewhere that usually gets people to sit up and notice, sad to say.

I sent a PM to you and Jo in regards to My girl..

Thank you for thinking of us both and wondering where W/we were.

Hi everyone,

Just a snippet for everyone here.. My girl had emergency surgery yesterday.. She is doing well and was up and about today... they expect her to go home by the end of the week. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.

So life has been busy with work.. making Myself available as much as I can to My girl while she has been ill... making plans to go there and help her once she is home from the hospital..

Life just has a way .. of turning on a dime that is for sure.

Here is some :tea: and :bringcoffee:.. to help everyone get through their day.

Waves to Jo, scoote, Zimmy, Joanie, rav, morningstar.. and anyone else I missed. I hope you are all having a good middle of the week.

Good morning all :rrose:

:bringcoffee: Fresh pot of coffee is on, and putting out a healthy breakfast of granola and fruit for everyone. I had a Doctor appointment day before yesterday, and some reminders to get back on the program and mind my diet. Had an EKG and chest x-ray too (just checking since there's lots of heart problems in my family). All came back good though...so now it's just the bloodwork, pap and mammogram to go (ugh).

Sending big hugs :gimmehug: to MStar and wishes for a speedy recovery. :bouquet: I know Jake is taking good care of you though my friend, and that's the most important thing. :)

I keep trying to be better about getting online, but feeling crappy (physically and emotionally) and it's hard to be inspired. Think more than anything I just need to close on this house and get moved....one more month (I hope). :goodluck:

Hugs to everyone. And I do love you baby :lips: :stillheart: , even though it's rough right now.

Sounds like the perfect breakfast to Me! This morning for breakfast, I actually had a couple of small yogurts from Yoplait's Dessert Selections ~ one was Strawberry Chantilly and the other one was Raspberry Cranberry Crumble (both of which are beyond divine). Too bad I didn't have some actual granola here or I would have mixed some in, might have to buy some today or tomorrow for next time :)

I just had bloodwork done last Friday because tomorrow I go back to see My doctor for a complete physical, and if all goes well then tomorrow is the day that I may begin taking testosterone injections :cheesy:

I hope everyoe has a great rest of their thursday! :koolaid:

Good Evening Everyone,

I to have been busy as a bee. My anatomy midterms had me in tears on Tuesday. I got a 74, C, overall for both my lab midterm and the lecture midterm. I have to literally ace my final lab practical and lecture tests to pass the class with a B. I am thinking of dropping my microbiology class, the teacher is a bitch and I really don't like her. The overall grade in the class is an F, which I have, and I would rather have a grade of I, instead of an F.

I am leaving some homemade Arroz con Gandules, taquitos and brownies for dessert..

Hugs to all,

Good Evening Scoote, Jo Jo and family,

I am not giving up. i am going to show this woman that I can pass her damn class even if I get grey hairs doing it. I am going to be staying in Orlando tomorrow night, so I can study. I have an Avon conference right down the road from my old apartment and my old roommate said I could stay there. I cannot wait to be back in a sane place, hehe. It is hard as hell to study in my house, Elijah is being mean to Caleb and Lisa has been chasing after Elijah and yelling at him.

Hope you all got to go to the beach and have a good weekend,

Hope you all slept well! My old roommate and I watched the 2009 Star Trek movie on his new 3D tv and it was awesome. No matter what we watched, it just made the picture come alive. Law & Order SVU looked like we were sitting there with them.

I am thinking of French Toast, fresh fruit, bacon/sausage, plenty of coffee, tea and sodas for breakfast this morning.

Have fun today, I am off to do some microbiology homework before I leave Orlando,

I'm having to arm wrestle for computer time...I'll sure be glad when we're in the house, our stuff is unpacked, and the Rooster has his own computer again! At least we're in the closing process now....home stretch!

Went to make another payment on the boys' bedroom furniture today, had lunch at Cracker Barrel, and Rooster picked up one of those Paper Jamz guitar things from the shop there. It's bizarre how real it sounds. :blink:

Scoote's at work, but we're hoping to manage a little beach time this evening...if only my body will calm down. Being diabetic stinks! :seeingstars:

Hope you get to feeling better soon. I had a blast hanging out with my old roommate yesterday and I cannot wait to move back to Orlando.

I will be in Orlando this coming weekend for Pride and to hang out wtih friends. Hope you all can make it Sunday and if not, we will have to plan a Christmas party somewhere..

Hugs to all of you and congrats on the closing part!!!!

Good Morning Zimmy,

laughs. Oh there are some serious Avon women out there. I would imagine the crowd does rival that of Pride, and those women are SERIOUS about their Avon.

How did the studying go?

I will pass along your wishes to My girl. She now has her laptop at the hospital.. so once she done downloading a zillion updates.. she will most likely pop in and post for a bit.. when time permits. She has the perseverance and heart a zillion fighters.. she just takes each day as it comes.

I hope you have a peaceful Tuesday.

Good Afternoon Everyone,

Scoote, Jo Jo and family, glad to read that you are almost finished with your house!

School has been kicking my ass literally and I am about to give up my internet, I cannot afford it anymore. It costs me almost $40 a week in gas and my education is more important than the internet, when I can go to Starbucks and get it free with the purchase of a cup of coffee.

My anatomy lab final is on the 14th and I will be going to Orlando this weekend to study and go to Pride.

I am thinking of putting an IV of coffee into my arm until next Thursday.

Have a good night all,

Zimmy

Good Afternoon Jake,

Studying is going good, I am on the last pages of my lab handouts. I totally agree with you about the part of those women being seriuos about their Avon. I have one who tossed a book up in my driveway, I started laughing and took it inside. The women at the conference took over the men's room, to the bellyaching of the men, hehe.

How is Ms. MountainStar doing?

Hope you are having a good day,

Zimmy

Good Morning Zimmy,

laughs. Oh there are some serious Avon women out there. I would imagine the crowd does rival that of Pride, and those women are SERIOUS about their Avon.

How did the studying go?

I will pass along your wishes to My girl. She now has her laptop at the hospital.. so once she done downloading a zillion updates.. she will most likely pop in and post for a bit.. when time permits. She has the perseverance and heart a zillion fighters.. she just takes each day as it comes.

I hope you have a peaceful Tuesday.

Good Morning scoote,

No, I am not up there. Work is just not going to allow it. We have someone going out on surgery as well and I am going to handling their workload as well as all My other duties. Sooooooooooo. My girl is getting stronger every day and so is her mindset. They should be moving her to the rehabilitation hospital sometime today. Then she will be there until she can "make tracks" on her own. It has been a rough couple of weeks for her, and some gloomy moments. However, all in all.. .she will stick to her guns and get through this.

Ok.. all I could do was this :| and this :blink: and :) at the boobie surfing.. and I was laughing the whole time.

I bet you are both glad to have this house deal almost over. For as much as they went though a period of time in the country and economy wanting "get rid of houses" they sure do make it a pain in the butt to procure one. Happy for you both that the end is near.

Hope you all have a peaceful weekend and get out there and enjoy some more of this great Fall weather.

Good Morning Zimmy,

I am glad the studying is going well. That was actually My favorite part of going to college... and the homework. The in class note taking and all of that was not as much, even though I love to learn. However, I think it was the organization and orderliness of the studying and homework that I liked.

Yes, like I said.. there are some Avon queens out there that will do whatever they need to get a book to you..laughs.. I love throwing it up the driveway thing.. like someone delivering the newspaper.

My girl is pushing herself and getting through the best she can. As I mentioned to scoote it is has been a rough couple of weeks.. however, she is strong of the mind and will persevere. I know she is just looking forward to getting home and having her pets around her again. As she said.. it is the simple things you miss .. when you are not in control of your life, so to speak.

Hey you.. I hope you have a peaceful end to your week. Do you have any plans for the weekend?

As Always,
Jake

Good Morning wonderful kitchen patrons,

Can I just say I am loving the morning java and the Fall weather? I have even been craving a cup of joe in the evenings, which is not normal for Me. I am thinking it is just the cooler weather.

Hope everyone is well.. that scoote and Jo are getting their signatures on that paperwork, Zimmy is studying hard (but not too hard), morningstar is staying safe on the road and working on those cool paintings, that Matthew is feeling better after seeing that "mean" dentist ..grins, and dc is shussshing people in the library.

Here is some strong http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/oo329/JakeTulane/2191_picture_of_a_vintage_coffee_ad_seen_in_drive-in_and_movie_theatersjpg.png for those that need this morning.

Waves to everyone.

To My girl: you are stronger than you know.. you have pushed and made it through two weeks of ups and downs.. now the work begins.. the harder you push .. the sooner you go home.. where you belong.. I am so very proud of you.. your strength and sense of humor through all of this inspires Me to be even better. I love you.. xoxoxo

LMAO @ Jake, yes buddy I'm fine now after seeing that mean old dentist (he isn't mean though, maybe a little old but not mean haha). I was able to get through it and I'm doing just fine now, and in two weeks I have to get another tooth worked on ~ NOT fun, but I'll get through that too!!!!

Thanks for thinking of My bro, its always greatly appreciated :)

Hope everyone else is having a GREAT day ~ I go see the doctor very soon, and today could be My first shot of T so I'm nervous but excited at the same time. I did, however, have a fasting glucose test this past Monday to check to see if I'm diabetic (My parents both are and My grandfather was too) so I'm not sure if that will possily affect whether or not I get My shot today but hopefully not ............ I'll let everyone know once I'm back home what the conclusion is *S*

Good evening kitchen friends (and those who read and do not post) :rrose:

Thanks Jake....the booby surfing was actually quite funny...and she did offer to let me keep the $10. :winky: It's a shame that you can't be up with your girl, but I'm sure having you to support her is making a world of difference. :)

Matthew...so glad the dentist visit is done. I'm overdue myself...ugh. I'm trying to be good and get caught up on all the medical and dental stuff I've let slide. No fun, but important. I hope you get good news on your blood sugar too...and that T goes well for you. :)

MountainStar, we're sending you big hugs, hot :tea:, a little :chocolate: and all the good healing energy we can muster. Hope you're back in the thread soon.

Don't you worry rav...I've given your message to Scoote and she said she'd overnight your wig....as soon as you pay for it :blink: She's tough like that! In the meantime, here's some :chocolate: for you too! :)

Morningstar...you're so good to us....drive safe my friend! :rrose:

Hugs to all, and Scoote will be back....never fear. Love you baby :lips:

Good afternoon Everyone,

Jake, studying is doing good, me and a few ladies from class studied from 10am to 3:30pm before I left for Orlando. My brain hurts, lol. On Monday in lab class, we dissected a sheep brain and on Wednesday we dissected a cow eye. Both were neat and I got to hold both while the guy in my lab group dud the cutting. It felt weird but the cat is going to be hard.

Good to hear Ms MountainStar is doing better and tell her that I am sending wishes of a speedy recovery.

The dr's flew my roommate, Lisa's baby to the children's hospital in Jacksonville on Monday, he wasn't breathing good and his heart wasn't doing good. He is now on a heart monitor and if nothing changes, they are going to do open heart surgery on him.

I am going to Orlando's Pride with a few ppl from the dash site on Sunday. How about you?

Have a good night,

Zimmy

Good evening all. bringing :wine: for those who prefer it to :bringcoffee:

I'm flying solo at home tonight with the boys...Scoote is off to Miami for a work meeting. Instead of driving down at the crack of dawn tomorrow they went this afternoon, got a great deal on a nice hotel, and are (hopefully) enjoying some beach time and a nice dinner.

We had "kid dinner"....chili dogs, mac & cheese and green beans :) Gotta admit...it tasted good!

Good Evening Jo Jo,

The dr's released him the following morning and they put a heart monitor on him and he has to go to the dr's once a week for checkups. They don't know what caused his heart and oxygen issues, so until they do, he has the heart monitor. If it happens again, they are going to do open heart surgery on him.

I am doing good, just keeping busy with class and no one showed up on Sunday, so I came home and got my Avon brochures completed, so I could deliver them today.

Dinner sounds good, after class, I went to my mom's house and had homemade beef stew and just had a few cookies with a cup of coffee as dessert.

Hope you are having a good night and any news on when you all get to move into your new house?

Hugs and have a good night,

Zimmy

Glad to hear the little one is home...and hope that it turns out well. The thought of a baby with a heart problem is just too much. :praying:

Sorry I've been AWOL folks...it's been an incredibly busy week...trying to catch up at work, the usual house/kids/meal stuff and then a massive pile of paperwork and errands to get everything squared away for the house. We're almost there...they taunted us with talk of a closing this Friday, then ordered a survey...not cuz there was a problem but just because the one in the file was old (sigh)... I just keep telling myself soon, soon, soon, soon...

Hope everyone is doing well, studying hard, healing nicely, and playing happily with the other folks in your sandbox. :)

I missed breakfast, so lunch is club sandwiches on toast, fresh fruit salad and ice tea. :eating:

I agree with DC, that survey should have been done when the house went up for sale. They are having fun with you and the family, Jo Jo.

I have been studying like a fool, my anatomy lab final is at 12:30p tomorrow and I am looking forward to it. Then I get to write a paper for microbiology.

Hi Zimmy,

Wow.. you are looking forward to the final???? Well that is a good thing, that means you are prepared and feeling positive. I will send :praying: your way.. knowing that you will pass anyhow. smiles.

Coffee sounds awesome right now. The weather is changing rapidly here.. in the last few days the temps have dropped considerably and I have had to turn the furnace on. Definite coffee weather, not that I need an excuse. grins.

I hope you have a peaceful rest of the evening. and good luck tomorrow.

It's still in the 80s here Jake, but I hear what you're saying about coffee weather! I always loved the leaves changing, but dreaded the coming snow shoveling.

Best of luck on your final Zimmy - I know you'll do great! :rrose:

And you are not kidding darkcrystal...I was all grrrrrrrrr'ed about the paperwork shuffle. The good news is that we're getting closer every day. I paid the insurance and sent the binder off, and that was the last thing on my list to accomplish before closing. Now all I need is a date and time! :)

Hope you all have a great day. I'm working hard, trying to get caught up. Between my busy season at work and trying to get this house closed I spend a lot of time looking like this :confused:

Good Evening Jo,

Well of COURSE it is still in the 80's there.. laughs. I have to say I love the rain... however, I have had My fill now.. and it needs to move on. We have received snow here before on Halloween (as you know).. so I would not be surprised if we did not get atleast some rain/snow mixed with how it feels outside. I have to say I would miss the snow.. I love to watch it fall... but yes.. the shoveling and driving in it.. does grow old. Atleast you will not have to deal with that this season.. smiles.

I am sending good vibes.. that the house get closed and quickly.. this process for you all just never seems to end.. and just when you think you are "there"... it does not happen.. that has to be frustration 10-fold.

I hope you and scoote and the kids.. have a peaceful evening.. and keep finding the little things.. it does help deal with all the rest.

As Always,
Jake

Hi to My fellow Kitchen dwellers, how is everyone? I'm so very sorry I haven't been around lately, but I started a new job yesterday and I've just been trying to get used to being up early in the morning (try 6:30am). I'm very excited because I get My very first T shot tomorrow :cheesy:

I'm nervous I admit it, but I'm also very excited at the same time. My work is extremely open, cuz I told My trainer about My transition and she said that I'm safe to work there ~ if anyone even tries anything that discriminates against Me, they will be fired on the spot. Its a very diverse group of people and it doesn't matter what your race/religion/gender/sexual orientation etc is, all they care about is that you do your job. I already get along with people there, so I know that I'm very much going to like it there :)

Hope everyone has a great Friday tomorrow ~ I know I will *yay*

I am thinking of a nice brain food style brunch today with plenty of coffee, tea, juice, milk, sodas and mimosa's<virgin style> today.

Jake,

Hope Ms. MountainStar is doing much better and she can still go on her cruise!

Scoote and I headed to the beach for some shell-hunting and a walk, so dinner was Taco Bell. Not the healthiest thing for me, but it was really good to have some time without the kids, just walking on the beach. Zillions of shells too...we literally ran out of daylight and didn't want to leave. :beachkids:

Good morning everyone! I have missed so much in the past three weeks, and will catch up reading everything later today and tomorrow....

So....I've been gone - to the hospital. Had to have an emergency knee operation and spent three weeks in there. I got home on Thursday afternoon and have spent the past few days just getting used to being home and working on regaining my strength.

I missed everyone in here very much...especially Mr. Prickly...but I am happy to be here now and on the mend.

Hugs to everyone and hope you have a great day today!

MS

you are gaining strength every day honey.. and kicking physical therapies ass.. each day brings you a little closer.. and I think it was the best possible decision of all to come home and recoup and being happy around your own house and the things within it.. especially the wee Wonder dog.. I love you .. and I am so very proud of you.. through all of this..

Mr. Prickly

hey hey kitcheneers im baaaaaaackkk ..lockdown kinda sucked--ok not really but prolly a good thing from what Jo shared with me..im not always good at keeping my mouth shut,but anyway...glad to see Ms MS is back home and on road to recovery...u go girl *friendly hug*

Jake...hows it going....glad MS has ur love and support behind her,motivating her...amazing how that helps...thanks for the buffet...i added some sausage gravy hope ya dont mind

welcome Ms Kats...sorry i was MIA when u popped in...hope u are having a wonderful day...just FYI im the thorn in Jo's side(or some like to say gf) lol

morning DC...hope all is well

who the hell am i forgetting?????? :passinggas: brain has this issue too it seems

so anyway JO bullied me into making a dr's appt(even tho i told her its just old age,a big ass and meanness trying to come out) and the big day has arrived..so in a couple hrs ill be sitting in a small room in a paper gown swearing nothing is wrong while JO(who is going to make sure the doc gets ALL the info) will be shooting me evil looks and correcting me on everything...God gotta love a woman like that

hope everyone has a ......ohhhhhh wait i gotta tell y'all about our stroll on the beach...we were walking along,heads down,scouring for cool shells, i look up and see a man up near dunes running towards us--now i admit i have poor eyesight so i look at JO and ask" is that man naked?":blink: she looks up and back down quickly and says "umm yep" now i am sure that letting the wind off the ocean caress ur naked body is exhilarating,but make sure it is a nude beach or at least a private one!

now hope everyone has a wonderful day...it is beautiful here,temps are around 80,nice breeze! wish everyone could enjoy our weather
