Have fun today,

Zimmy

Eeekorama! teens and a nine year old, you're a braver person than I am.

I've just realised it's the 4th of July this weekend for you lot, a significant date. I hope everyone has a very jolly holiday weekend.

Good morning everyone

Wow...I didn't want to get out of bed this morning at all, but so nice to wake up to a yummy breakfast Zimmy, thank you!

Incubus, you're right...they are like savory scones, maybe a little lighter in texture. I lived in Australia for a few years, and the whole biscuit/cookie/scone thing took some adjustments. It is, however, where I got addicted to salt & vinegar chips (crisps) and lamingtons....I adore lamingtons

I remember the first time someone invited me over for tea and biscuits....I thought

biscuits? Then got there and OOooooohhhh cookies!

Today is a busy day for me...3 conference calls and have to get the son to a friend's by 2 for a birthday party/sleepover. Think I'll grab the extra big cup of coffee this morning!

Have a good day all...and a very happy holiday weekend to those of us celebrating the 4th!

baby....

Morning, all...hope everyone has been well

It's raining, so no pool time for me today, but it's just as well. It has been so freaking hot, a little cool-down is more than welcome.

Have a great day!

I didn't want to get out to bed this morning either but had to walk those cuties the dogs. Anyway, thanks to whomever left the breakfast. Incubus thanks for the link I will look into that teacakes those look scrumptous!! And the chocolate ones yummy. Anyway, always looking for more strong coffee!! Setting out more coffee and chocolate

Everyone have a great 4th of July whatever you do. What do the Floridians do this weekend just curious?? I would go to the beach for sure!!

lipstixgal · 07-02-2010, 09:02 AM

well got the nerve to call the internship site it in Englewood which is good. Close to home I mapped it out about 12 minutes without traffic so I can still come home for lunch and let the dogs out. I think I am only going to work like 3 days and have sometime off for the summer. I have to think where I am going to move to which is in like 3 months from now. I need help should I move to Florida or California?? or maybe Arizona which its warm there all year round but no beach bummer!!

Flying through the kitchen this morning and grabbing a really big mug of dark roast and something to munch on.

Bless the coffee maker! *grin*

Hello to Incubus....I have missed a few days in the kitchen, but did you know the Queen was visiting Canada right now? Yes, we had our birthday yesterday, # 143, and some great festivals in each city and the big one on Parliament Hill.

I'm prepping an album with the events from the day - our red & white in all its glory.

And, this weekend we celebrate Pride # 30.

What a way to bring in the month, party party party!

Have a good day everyone.
Happy end of week!

ps i have some red & white jelly beans leftover from yesterday, so I will leave them on the kitchen counter. Enjoy!!!

our biscuits are a lil bit softer than scones...i make scones a lot, actually- cranberry ones!

for some reason that i don't recall i was reading about lamingtons on wikipedia a couple weeks ago- they sound very yummy indeed!

it is weird b/c when i work the reference desk i have to look like i am doing more than just sitting there, but i don't want to bring any actual work out there b/c i will get too into it and then start resenting the patrons that ask for help (even tho that is the whole reason i am out there, i know it's horrible)

so what i do is pull up wikipedia and click "random article" over and over again- so it looks like reference work but it's really just surfing lol

IT NEVER FAILS that i will read about something really random and totally new to me and that topic will come up in coinversation somewhere within the next week- and i get to sound tolly impressive b/c i know all about it lol

last week it was (Houston ex-mayor) Kathy Whitmire- on Friday i surfed randomly to her page after getting Van Halen and then clicking Sammy Hagar and then clicking his ex-band montrose and then clicking disambiguation for montrose and getting the Houston neighborhood montrose and then getting Kathy whitmire b/c she got a lot of votes in montrose!!!

on sunday my friend mentioned her! and asked what ever happened to her! and i was able to tell her she is now a real estate investor in Hawaii!

i still don't remember the path that led me to lamingtons tho
