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

[Zimmeh]

Good Afternoon Scoote,

There is only one other person who could out talk me and unfortunately she is in Heaven. I had a blast last night meeting up with Belle and neither one of us, realized that we had been at that Starbucks for almost four hours. I have never had a ball and gag in my mouth, hehe...My freaky side is trying to come out...

Jo Jo, I will post some pics of the ducks and bunnies that I took while living in Palm Coast and Orlando on Facebook.

Scoote, hope they get that MRI going and soon. Back pain sucks and it's one thing I wish never happened when that car hit me. I cannot wait until you and Jo Jo come back up to Orlando! I was nervous the night I met you all and that is why I talked so much, hehe.

Violane, thank you again for the HoneyDew melon! By the time I got home lastnight and went to bed it was 1am and I could not wake up this morning...I am going to miss the Tribute blend of coffee from Starbucks. I told Matt I bought another bag lastnight and he was like, "hell yeah!"

I am leaving some Godiva chocolates for all of us!

I had some vegetable sushi rolls today for lunch and now I am watching, "Murder She Wrote", on NetFlix.

Have fun and Violane, chat soon!

Zimmy

Jo let me go with her to Walmart last night to pick up a "few" things(which is NEVER just a few things) anyway i had taken a pill bc i was hurting just a little..just a dull ache that i thought would go away with a pill and some walking.....Boy was i wrong...half way thru sweat was pouring off of me,a 90 y.o woman flew by me like i was standing still,AND ( i know this will be hard to believe) but i got a little cranky...soooooo someone better preserve this bc i dont say this very often but.......Jo was right--it was too much....i had thought sitting/laying/moving about the house was not helping my back at all,but and i RARELY say this i was wrong!!!!

anyway---its another beautiful day here,but thinking since i burned yesterday i will just enjoy the a/c.....i hear Jen and Ms Belle met up....so i have to ask Bella how are your ears? That Jen sure can talk huh...lol...when Jo and i and the kids met up with her i was like "wow someone who can rival Jo" im only half playing i really enjoyed meeting Jen and look forward to doing it again soon....maybe we could include Bella(i know its belle but i like Bella ) and make a day of it!

Jake....are the temps still warm up ur way?.....thanks for all the talks it does help to talk to someone who has experienced this pain...helps me realize i am not a wussy

anyway i am gonna go take advantage of netflix and see if there are any good movies on!

hope everyone has a great day!
hugs and kisses to all

[JustJo]

Good evening all

Sounds like you two had fun Zimmy and Violaine! We'll have to see about an Orlando area get together soon...maybe as soon as Scoote can handle the car ride and the sitting.

Godiva sounds oh soooo yummy....



I made dinner for everyone, but not much appetite tonight...ended up having peach yogurt....maybe something more later on.

[lipstixgal]

Good Evening everyone!! Scoote hope you get to feeling better soon with your back!! I am still on my diet and lost about 20 pounds so far!! I like being on the diet it is good for me!! I had to take my dog to the vet today for his eye he has conjunctivitis in his right eye and needs irrigation and eye drops of antibiotic hopefully he will be alright!! have a nice night everyone!!

[Zimmeh]

Good Morning Everyone,

Tomorrow is my interview with Bloomingdales and I am nervous. I ended up having to take the grey suit back to Macy's. The pants didn't fit me and my mom who is a seamstress, said that it would cost just as much I had paid for them to recut and hem the whole suit. I have a white and navy skirt suit that I am going to wear instead.

If I do get this job, then it is a true Godiva moment for all of us!

Lipstix, hope you are doing well.

Jo Jo, have a safe trip to Arizona..

Zimmy

[violaine]

zmmy,

wishing you all the best for thursday! crossing fingers and toes.

[scootebaby]

good Afternoon kitcheneers....i am waiting on a friend/coworker to get here so we can go out to lunch...sadly my sweetie cant go because she is bogged down with work.

its another beautiful day here...nice breeze blowing,sun shining. too bad i cant go out and really enjoy it! of course if i could enjoy it i would be working so its kinda like a catch 22

Zimmy...good luck tomorrow! hope it goes well for you

good afternoon Ms Bella...how are things up your way?

Jake...weather being good up there? i never watch the news so i never know what the waether is anywhere

so yeah does anyone else thing Lady gaga is just WAY out there? here videos just "wow" my brain...i usually sit here with mouth agape,eyes not blinking unable to look away or turn the channel....

anyway gonna go see what kinda trouble i can start elsewhere...hope everyone is having a wonderful day!

[Zimmeh]

It's a good thing! Sometimes work is over rated and it took me having a nervous breakdown to realize it!! Go relax in your pool, I'm thinking of opening up the windows at the apartment. It is a very gorgeous day here in Florida...Lady Gaga is out in left field but I love her music.

How are you feeling today? I just left the Mall at Millenia, gas to pick up pantyhose for tomorrow. I'm now having a healthy lunch!

Have fun today,

Zimmy

Afternoon scoote,

The weather has turned up here.. as it always does.. yesterday... it was shorts and t-shirt weather.... today it has turned colder and rainy. I do not mind the rain at all. However, the cold.. I am over it.

laughs @ the Lady GaGa thoughts. I agree.. she is pretty out there. However, did they did not think that of Madonna when she first came out? Look where she is now. Did you see Lady GaGa on the Grammy's? Now that was something.. arriving in an egg?? Then I believe she exited it on stage during the number she performed. I will give her this.. she is certainly creative.

How was lunch? .. more importantly .. did you find trouble elsewhere? grins.

Nods. yeah.. I can see your point.. you finally get some time off.. and instead of it being a vacation where you can enjoy the warm weather, etc.. you are laid up and in pain. Keep strong.. it will get better.. I will be glad to see you get the MRI over with.. and see what options come after that.

Tell Jo.. I said Hi.

Waves to everyone.

Good Morning Everyone,

Today is the day of my job interview and I am nervous and excited in the same sentence. Pantyhose are a horrible creation and I am trying to keep Athena from rubbing against them...

I am thinking of maybe biscuits with sausage gravy and eggs for breakfast today...Let's all live in a little...Matt used to work for Macy's which is Bloomies sister store and he said that if they call me back in for a second interview, then they liked me...

I am posting random thoughts and I am off to finish getting ready..

See you all in a bit!

Zimmy

[JustJo]

Good morning everyone

Scoote is still ....Zimmy is being interviewed....I'm at the computer working, multi-tasking and drinking too much coffee already...sounds like another day in the neighborhood.

Zimmy.....let us know how it went....it's hard to type with my fingers crossed!

My week is being completely insane, but I'm making some progress...and heading off to AZ on Sunday for another week of training. My "to do" list before I go makes me ....so I better get a move on.

Have a great day!

[sylvie]

Good luck with your interview today Zimmy!! Do let us know!

Hi everyone ♥
Happy Thursday !!
i woke earlier then got children off to school, then back to bed for me for awhile..Just spent time with Mtn before he went off to work, now i'm posting around a lil til i go out with a friend to Costco to get a few things.. i work a bit later (short shift) and then i'm offfffff tomorrow, yaaaay!

Have a wonderful kinda Thursday all ((((hugggggz))))

[Zimmeh]

Afternoon Everyone,

The interview went well and I should know by the end of the week if I got the job. Thank you all for the good lucks! I am going to relax for a bit and then hit the Outlet mall and see if anyone is hiring...

The pantyhose made the suit pop and wasn't to flashy. I just don't like how they make it so where you cannot move.

Sylvie, hope you are having a wonderful week and enjoy your day off tomorrow!

Jo Jo, I was giggling at you, when you said that you couldn't type because you had crossed your fingers.

Have fun, I am off to apply for another job...

Zimmy

[Zimmeh]

Good Morning Everyone,

I was reading about that little boy in Lakeland, FL that was served sangria at a Olive Garden there. The poor little boy...I'm in complete awe as to how they could have mixed up his children's orange juice with the sangria mix

How about some French Crepes as lunch today? To bad, I don't know how to make these or I would..


Jo Jo and Scoote, hope you two can hit the pool today. It is supposed to be a gorgeous day here in Florida...

Have a wonderful day,

Zimmy

[violaine]

crepes are not hard at all to make, dear zimmy! xo




for everyone! scoote, hang in there! love to you, jo!

[scootebaby]

Afternoon Scoote,

It is over cast right now in Orlando and muggy. Matt and I were supposed to take his BowFlex to my storage unit, but decided against it. Hope you two can get to the beach! Have fun tomorrow at the bowling alley, I cannot bowl to save my life...I found a recipe on the Food Network website for Raspberry French Crepes and I am thinking of making them..Bell is right, it doesn't sound hard to make them.

Hope Jo Jo has a safe flight to Arizona on Sunday..

Zimmy aka Jen

Thank you for the offer...

i would pay to see this!

[JustJo]

Yummy! We went to the CheeseSteak Factory for dinner...just a little storefront place, but really yummy sandwiches, homemade curly fries...and they deliver! They will definitely be getting more of our business.

The Prince missed out since he was sleepy, but Rooster gave it two thumbs up (as he inhaled a double burger with sauteed onions and tomato).

I had the cheesesteak with sauteed mushroom and garlic butter... and I may have nibbled some of Scoote's fries after I ate all of mine.

It was a long, busy week and there's lots to do tomorrow...packing suitcases (me and Rooster, for different trips), making the boys' favorite cream of chicken soup with rice, baking a banana cake (I like to get them stocked up before I go), eye doctor appointments for all 4 of us, and a bowling fundraiser for Rooster's girlfriend's summer trip to Australia.

Now it's feet up and TV time with my sweetie...hope you all have a great evening.
