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

[freyja]

Voila,
Tah Dah, c'est moi, je suis ici

And thanks kindly to Musicman for feeding us - very nice to have you back in the full swing of things.
Do you know that one of the most important aspects of a relationship is not taking your partner for granted? Or what they do for you, no matter how small it may seem?

For my gal pals that are stuck in the 80's and especially DC who is sitting there listening to the charts go over the 1980 - 1984.
Enjoy all.

Good morning all, good morning Miss Freyja. It's going to be a hot one by me today. Am waiting for the window guys - all windows are being replaced today! Yay!!! Hopefully next year - the front door and sliders to the deck. Yes! I am on a remodeling/decorating roll!!! lol

Have a wonderful day you all, and a great week and weekend.

Good morning kitchen dwellers

Hope everyone slept well and is feeling good today. It's supposed to be hot (for CNY) and sunny again today

Musicman, thank you for breakfast and I so agree on the lighter fare for a hot day. I'm thinking croissant, coffee and some strawberries...mmmmm.

Freyja...lovely selection again today...I do LOVE Tina...always have, always will. And you're right about those little things people do. I'll tell you a secret...one of the sweetest things Scoote did for my first visit. She's not a coffee drinker, but she knows I am...so she went out and bought a cute little coffeemaker, perfect size for one person, and spent about half an hour baffled in the coffee aisle at the grocery store (and managed to pick my brand...without asking....how cool is that!?). She even gets up and starts the coffee for me, too...unless I beat her to it... Little things really do mean a lot.

I'm off to get started at work...had a less than productive day yesterday so want to make up for it today.

Hugs to all the kitchen dwellers and hope you have a wonderful day.

And to my sweetie....

Good Morning everyone,

Freyja, thanks for the Tina Turner video. Did you get a chance to watch the Dancing With The Stars finale lastnight? Nicole Scherzinger, from PCD, won the competition after doing the Jive to a Tina Turner song. She kicked arse and she can dance.

DeVry received my transcript request form on Monday so I should have my transcripts by the beginning of next week, woohoo..I cannot wait...

Hugs to Jo Jo!!!

No time to talk,..there they are..aha..

Oh...Good Morning Everyone...I'm armed with Windex... Breakfast later..maybe at a restaurant..

[JustJo]

((( Zimmy )))...glad to hear you're going back to school I hope it turns out well for you. I know going back to college was one of the smartest things I ever did. It was a rough few years, but well worth it.

Tommi....I picture you like this today...on the hunt for ants. I use some great stuff called Terro...just a drop on a little piece of cardboard, tucked in a corner of the kitchen counter (near the window where they like to come in). They drink it up, go home, and poison their nest. It's mean, but hey...if they don't want to be dead they need to stay outside...that's my theory!

I'm working hard on project documents this morning so just bouncing in and out today.

[Zimmeh]

I am attending the local state college and I am excited about starting school..Woohoo...

How are you two doing today?

Today looks like a beautiful day in the neighborhood. Breakfast looks great, too.

Inside the house we are ant free..
Thanks for thinking of me. with those ants..The Windex I chased them with made light oak Pergo floors shine very nicely. I went to Homo Depot last night on way home from work.and bought Grant's Ant Stakes. They go around the perimiter of the house, in and out if need be, and do something similar to what you mentioned. They take a snack back to their casa.

I wish everyone a day filled with fun and fantastic adventures.

aargh i had a patron complain about getting bitten by ants yesterday and on Tuesday i got my first, second, third, and fourth mosquitos bites of the season...IT'S STARTING ALREADY...good morning everybody and try to stay bug-free!!!

[Mrs. Strutt]

Good morning, kitchen dwellers

Ms. Jo - hope you feel more in fighting trim this morning. I am still tossing handfuls of positive energy out into the universe to get you down here ASAP

cinderella - Mr. Strutt and I have just resumed remodeling on our house as well. We bought a fixer-upper in 2000 and had about 2/3 of it done before we had Katie, including new windows, but then took a hiatus for the past five years. Next project: install ceiling fans in the kitchen, living room and both bedrooms!

I need to jump in the shower and get ready for work. I love my job, but today would be a good day to stay home and lounge in the pool. Think Mr. S has plans to and maybe have a couple of friends over this weekend, though, so I will be a good girl and keep my nose to the grindstone.

Have a great one!

Good evening kitchen dwellers

I put on a fresh pot of coffee, but I'm thinking I'll take mine iced I just mowed the yard and now I'm way too hot and sweaty to cook. How does everyone feel about a cold supper? I've got a cold baked ham, some delicious cheeses, artisan breads....and everything you could ask for deli sandwiches.

Hmm...let's see...some deviled eggs, a nice green salad, and that watermelon should come in handy too.... I'll keep poking around and see what I can add.

*ahem....clearing throat*

For everyone's information, Scoote is a cranky, bratty, anything-but-sweet butch!
(how's that baby?)

Good luck on the renovations Mrs. Strutt! It's a lot of work, but well worth it. I've been in this house 9 years, and the projects have been endless...but it's made a nice difference.

Crossing fingers for you Zimmy...you'll have to keep us posted on how school goes!

[Zimmeh]

I definately will Jo Jo.

How was your day? Mine was good. I have been watching the show Bones for the last few hours, lol.

Have a good night,

Zimmy
