:chef2: Good evening everyone,

We just all pigged out on filet mignon and baked potatoes...yummy. It was so tender that Scoote was cutting hers with the side of a fork. :giggle:

Now we all have big bellies....including the kittens. :)

Jake, sorry to hear that you're sick too...hope you start feeling better. :rrose:

Chocolate cake, mmmmmm......

Good Evening Zimmy,

OOOOooooOOOOh.. I love crossword puzzles. My Gram tried to pass along the knitting, crocheting, sewing thing to My sister and I. ummmmm.. let us just say .. it did not pass along well. laughs. Actually My sister can sew with a machine and by hand. I can sew by hand.. no machine for Me. My Mom can do the whole thing.. same as My gram.

I paint with acrylics and the brand I use are Windsor & Newton.. the same brand I use for watercolors as well. However, I am sure Michael's sells a good brand.. and probably not as pricey as what Mine run.

Thank you for the Aleve tip.. I have a feeling it is a hunger headache.. if I wait to long to eat I get them.. and they are the worst to get rid of.

Weekend was.. ok.. nothing phenomenal. laughs.

Hugs you back

I hope you have a peaceful evening.

Jake

chocolate cake? where? i sure could use some of it! for that i would MAKE room after that wonderful meal Jo fixed

innocent baby???? :sunglass:

Oooooooh.. that sounds tasty.. Jo.. I love red meat and have to have it atleast once a week.. so normally I have a steak...which I think I am going to have for tomorrow's dinner.. now that you put the filet mignon out there.

Thank you for the well wishes.. I am hoping if I go to bed early.. and take some stuff before I do so.. I will wake up tomorrow headache free. smiles.

Aleve is on the agenda. I normally take Advil.. and I also have 800mg of Ibuprophen in the house too.. I had forgotten about Aleve though.. and have used it before with good results.. so if I wake up tomorrow with the same pounding.. I will head up to the pharmacy and get some. Thank you.


scoote.. I am glad you are starting to feel better. Well I am sure the hood vent being down and you breathing all that nasty stuff in.. did not help your head at all.. let alone your lungs. .. even with the ventilation of having the doors open. The headaches just stink because they just knock the energy right out of you.

laughs @ the innocent look.. and chocolate cake sounds goooooood. However, I am thinking I might do some french pressed goodness..

Get better soon, scoot

Hola Jake,

When I flew to Chicago and Seattle, I would put my iPod on play and start doing crossword search and finds. Music is my life and I have to listen to it all of the time. My mom loves to cross stitch, which I can do, and she loves to crochet baby afghans for everyone. Maybe one day, I will sit down and take that up as a hobby, but for now, I have way to much energy and I love to be on the go.

I will definately check out Michaels and see what kind of paints they have and see if they have just a glaze type. In my opinion, Aleve works better than prescribed painkillers. When I had to have the needle removed from my foot, the dr gave me Darvocets, which did nothing for me, but the Aleve took the pain and swelling away.

Have a good night, I am going to watch another episode of Bones before I go to bed...I love that show...It's a mixture of science and medicine.

Zimmy

Good Morning Everyone,

Hope you all slept well and are enjoying the start of your day!

I am thinking of a delicious fruit salad with eggs, toast, juice, milk, coffee and tea for breakfast this morning. True brain food I must say.

Tomorrow is my microbiology lab final which I am kinda nervous about. I have a 97 in this class and I don't want to ruin my A. As for my micro lecture class, I gave up on the professor and I am going to be emailing her boss this afternoon and start to contest my grade. The witch gave me another F on the paper that was due yesterday. No matter how much information you put into these case studies, she just fails you. I am done with her as a professor.

Have fun today, and I have to stop by and see my niece's mother on the way home. She was standing in a tire store on Sunday, when a drunk woman lost control of her car and hit the building and knocking a tire display on top of her.

Zimmy

ha ty..... every yr for past couple yrs i keep saying im gonna quit.. but well lol im still trucking..... im sure i will miss some of it.

Hello everyone :)

It's been a busy day...conference calls, agendas to write, minutes to update and wrestling with a spreadsheet. :blink:

Time for iced coffee (or hot for those in colder climates) and a nice hot apple turnover! :eating:

:gimmehug: Hope you're all having a good day!

Thank you!! At first, when they took her to the hospital, they thought she had crushed vertebrae, and they had to cut the glass from the glass window out of her. I haven't been able to get ahold of her today, so I will see if my mom has heard anything. I feel bad for the girl, she stopped off at the tire store on her way to my mom's house to pick up my niece. When she didn't show up, my mom called her and that is how we found out. Hopefully she will be able to go to her daughter's dance squad show in the Christmas parade this coming Saturday..

Have a good night and how are you feeling?

Zimmy

Happy Birthday Early!!!!!!!!

Zimmy

How are you feeling today? When I was in high school in PA, the art teacher had us do three point drawings of a city. To this day, I can still do it and I love doing it.

I am thinking once this semester is over, I might just do a three point drawing.

Have a good night,

Zimmy

One massive cup of Godiva hot cocoa with marshmallows. Glad to read that no one was hurt during this storm. They had an earthquake off of the coast of Eastern Long Island sometime today.

Have a good night,

Zimmy

Sounds like an eventful day, and not all in a good way! Glad to hear that you're okay kats...and hope everything goes well for you tomorrow with your exam Zimmy...

You should all know that Scoote was ad-libbing (a tiny bit) in her post...I did go to cuddle and not to wake her up. The rest, however, was true :giggle:

You're all so artistic and crafty and stuff...I'm impressed! I can knit and crochet, but only a little...and I can sew on buttons and hem if I must...and couldn't paint or draw to save my life. I can cook and bake, and that's about it! :)

Not only did my Sweetie take me out to breakfast, but to dinner as well....and I'm stuffed with the best Reuben I've had in ages. Yummy! :eating:

Time to go tuck the Rooster in....back later. :gimmehug:

...and :kissy: to you baby....I love you :love1:

Is that why you're plying me with yummy chocolate cake baby? :lips:

Good Morning Zimmy, (yes here I am at 1:40am with insomnia)

I am feeling better.. the headache seems to have finally left.. I ended up getting some Aleve and using that.. it worked better than the high dose of Ibuprophen.. who knew? laughs.. well obviously you did..

I loved Art class in school and college. I have always been an appreciator of the Arts.. and could walk through galleries upon galleries.. in fact I took a vacation once and that was all I did.. was visit any Art gallery or museum that I could find..

you should do a three point drawing.. then take pics we can see it.. grins.. see Me and My ideas.. always finding work for you.. just like the wrangler for the Christmas Cards.. laughs..

I hope you had a peaceful night.

As Always,
Jake

Hi kats,

Thank you for the kind words.

The experiment you speak of sounds interesting. I was sitting here trying to think if I had ever tried that before.. even with basic sketching, and I have not. I am also surprised given I have taken Art in school and college none of My professors and/or teachers ever had us try this method. It totally makes sense.. given the reasoning you shared. Anything done over and over.. we are bound to miss something, indeed. For one because we never see the true "big picture". That is why when I sketch, paint, etc.. I always stand back a million times and try to see it in "full view". I also go through ALOT of paper. laughs. I hate to think how much of that I have thrown away over the years.. just because 'one' thing was off. It is also the reason it takes Me forever to finish a project..

I think I could give it a shot.. so are we talking..just a basic sketch of something simple to start out with?

ALSO.. this is NOT in any way getting Zimmy out of doing the 3-point drawing.. if she decides to participate. laughs.

I'm abit better but now this cold is deciding it wants to reside in My chest ~ and I'm like, I dont think so but damn that cough hurts :seeingstars:

Sounds like Scoote's getting ornery in old age :sunglass:

Good Morning Jake,

I will see what I can do about the drawing. Speaking of the Christmas Card list, I am sending it out in a few minutes.

Have a wonderful day,

Zimmy

Good Morning Everyone,

Hope you all slept well and have a wonderful day!!!

Today is my last day for my micro lab and I am excited!!

See you all in a bit,

Zimmy

I think Scoote was born ornery :sunglass:

Hope everyone's having a good day...I took the dog to the groomer (Scoote has been calling him "ass breath" again....so he needed it), lubricated the garage door (which has been sticking halfway up and being generally annoying), went grocery shopping, and am slow cooking brisket for dinner....OH...and I worked too :)
