Hi Jo and thanks for filling in.
i didn't have a chance to come by the kitchen this morning. i was up at 3:25 am to go shoot the sunrise with a local photographer friend.

We set on our way at 4:15 and parked in a dark daaaaaaaaarrrk cemetery. Neither of us had a flashlight. So, relying on the memory of the path in daylight, it was an interesting ten minute walk to the shore to shoot the rising sun. Got some way cool images and am just too beat tonight to process them all. i am starting to see double on the computer screen so it's time for this girlie to head to bed.

i'll be up and at'em and raring to boogie in the morning.

Nite all
*freyja slips out, but grabs a chocolate covered strawberry first, ignoring the wild dreams that may occur due to ingesting sugar so close to bedtime*

Good Evening Everyone,

I had fun today. I walked the mall in Daytona with my oldest nephew and two of his friends in search of some new Nike's for school..While he was looking, I was looking to. He bought a cute pair of Nike Air Torch and I bought a new pair of sneakers and some Nike Flip Flops with the memory foam cushion.

I talked to ChrisButch today, hy sent me a text message. I am not sure if you all are friends with hym on Facebook, but hys aunt had a stroke on Monday the 7th. She passed away late this afternoon to late evening Irish time. She was like a second mom to hym and I got hys permission to let you all know about this.

Have a good night, those three boys wore me out walking around that mall.

Hi dc.. smiles. Well yes there is the "keeping it warm" thing.. however, I bought one of those electric warmers that you can set a coffee mug on.. and used that.. I have a couple of french presses that just have the glass bottom and no stand.

perhaps you just need to drink the coffee faster. grins.

Hi Everyone -

It has been a busy day and I just now returned home. I am ready to declutter My head.. and just "be".

I hope everyone had a peaceful day.

[freyja]

Gooooood morning kitchen peeps!

What a great day. Sunshine on a Friday. Can't get any better than this to end the work week.

A freyja Friday breakfast is but a simple one;
2 cups of dark roast coffee with honey & milk.
granola with slice strawberries and 2 % milk.
Buttered banana bread slices with chocolate chips.

Have a fab Friday everyone!!!

Music is on to get the feet tapping, the hips swaying and the booty shaking:
How about:

[lipstixgal]

good Morning Freja I see you are up early as well as I am. Had to walk dogs otherwise I would be sleeping. Breakfast is wonderful..going to have that extra cup of strong coffee and I'll talk some of that granola with reduced milk as well. I will set out some eggs cooked to order, no bacon I'm Jewish sorry folks!!, croissants, butter, jams and jelly, home fries, and anything else that someone might want. Enjoy!!

[JustJo]

Good morning everyone

Yay...it's Friday!

I'll take care of the bacon Lips...and maybe some sausage as well. After all, it's almost the weekend.

I do love fruit in the morning....so putting out a selection of cantaloupe, honeydew, casava and watermelon.

Thanks for the music Freyja...that'll get me dancing around the office instead of ....now if the sunshine will hold out today, I might just get the lawn mowed as well. But first...paperwork is calling...have to get it all done before todays midday conference calls.

Down to 178 hours baby

Have a great day everyone!

A case of canned dog food low fat for the Jack Russell although the little one likes it too. A 17 lb bag of dry also and some treats lite of course so there went my money just like that. Now I have to hunt and peck for the black shoes with the tiny heels because they (the career development people) said no "high" heels even got the stockings to go with. I should get a friggin A on this part for real. I pooped now its time for me. Tomorrow is the big day Oh g-d what should I wear a little black dress and shoes to match!!

lispstix... good luck on your date. I know we will all be thinking about you.. and hoping things go well. Just remember, if it is meant to be more than a first date.. it will be.. and if not.. find joy in the moment.

When are you moving to Florida? *grins*. Glad you were not out and about. Though they say bears will not attack unless we bother them or their young... there is always a chance (as with any animal, including ourselves).. that it could have been in a "bad mood".

*hands you a cup of extra-strong*

Well it turns out that there will be no date. the woman has a bad cold which is good for me I don't want to catch it. So we are going to meet next week at least that is what I think. But thanks for the encouragement Jake I need it. Just going to focus on school instead!! Have an assessment to take for phlebotomy but the well wishes are appreciated.

lipstix... Well that is good that the person was considerate enough not to want to bring the cold to you. I hope that you do end up meeting next weekend.. and now you have your outfit all ready.. smiles. Oh @ phlebotomy.. better you than I.. laughs. and you are welcome.

Good Evening fine kitchen patrons,

I hope everyone is having a quiet ending to their week.. and have plans for a wonderful weekend. It has been a busy week here.. filled with alot of decisions, and the like. However, I am ready for the weekend.. to just "be".. and perhaps work on some more jewelery designs.

*sets out some strong french pressed and tea for those that want it or need it*
