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

[violaine]

i came home and made a huge salad with grape tomatoes, romaine, avocado, oat groats, tofu, fresh basil, carrots, broccoli, red cabbage [purple], and seasoning. zimmy, i was so hungry after all that running around today! thank you for giving up your cold water for the dog on the sidewalk this hot afternoon! you really were a gem to get me to the garage- and not complain about the time spent there- though, it was kind of amusing with the employees, and a wig and claw hammer, et c . i hope that you like the facial scrub, and your roommate loves the cupcake you bought for his birthday!


hello to jojo and scoote! yes, i am also interested in learning the results of the mri.

keep cool everyone! going to walk later tonight!

[Zimmeh]

I couldn't see that poor puppy with his tongue hanging out when we passed him today. Your salad sounds declicous and I ended up having a turkey sandwich on five grain Italian bread for dinner with a little bit of linguine and sauce. Those pretzels were salty and something I won't have again. You are welcome and I still think that one guy, is a jerk for talking to us like we both had two heads on our shoulders.

Hope you liked the Kind bar that I gave you. The one I gave you, is my favorite. I think of it as an all natural candy bar.

Have fun tonight,

Zimmy

yes, we have a love for animals in common! i've always been the one on the bus/in the car to say, Stop! we have to help the cat, dog, bird, et c. you did not even mind when i pulled over, got out and ran like half a mile [smile] to reach the kid and puppy. the boy was so appreciative of the water, and that anyone would actually stop. the kind bar is almost gone! one day, we can bake a bunch of goodies if you are interested. may have to rent a kitchen though, it would heat up our own places too much!

you could walk with me anytime!

i know what you mean about that mechanic, but in the car he was ohk. thank you for the sweet! [kind bar].

I found the Kind bars at Publix, and I like going walking either around 7am in the morning and at night. It is a lot cooler than and less busy. I have done that for a turtle that was in the middle of the road. I cried when I saw someone hit this baby black kitten. It freaked me out and I called the ASPCA to go and pick him up. I used to feed feral cats at this gas station I worked at.

Have fun tonight and be careful,

Zimmy

Good evening everyone

Sitting here listening to the thunder rolling in, hoping it rains so that the plants get a nice drink....and really, really, extra glad that tomorrow is Friday. Work has been a rough go for weeks, and I'm appreciating the weekends more and more. This weekend has an extra bonus too since I'll be driving out to the airport bright and early on Sunday to pick up Rooster.

Anyone have any fun plans for the weekend?

[Zimmeh]

Good Evening Jo Jo,

I will be down in Cocoa Beach watching the shuttle lift off while picking up a sunburn. I will definitely be taking pictures and I'm looking forward to it!

Have fun tonight,

Zimmy

Good morning kitchen friends

It's Friday...we survived another week....

I think we should celebrate with this...



Now I just have to make it through today's emails and conference calls....and listen to the rain that finally arrived.

My sweetie is still ....as is the Prince.
Hope you all have a great day!

Good Morning scoote,

I am having a stellar day. and the is still wonderful and I know it is only going to get better as the seasons change. Tomorrow I have to go into the office again.. for My last bit of training I hope. Then Sunday will be spent organizing and decorating the deck..I also have some things to finish up here in My place.. hanging some Ansel Adams prints in My bedroom and so on.. the place is definately coming together. Next week I will be calling the cable company and see how soon they can get everything hooked up. Today I am going to go to the local Salvation Army places here and in Ithaca and see what good buys they have. I love going and pick through that stuff.

Hoping you and Jo are having a peaceful day and you are getting plenty of rest. Soon the weekend will be upon us.

As Always,
Jake

Thank you Scoote!

Unfortunately they scrubbed the launch. Matt's cousin who is down from Long Island, NY, went with me and we had a great laugh at our waitress. It took us almost three hours to get back to Orlando due to traffic. I ended up with a sunburn on my shoulders due to my bikini top.

How was your Friday?

Good Morning Everyone,

I hope you all are having a good weekend! My sunburn is getting better and it looks funny....It ended up being just my left shoulder that got sunburned from driving...I love Florida!

I am thinking of this for breakfast this morning..Enjoy!





Have a wonderful day!

Good evening all

Crazy busy day...and now just relaxing and watching The Voice.
Hope you're all having a good evening.

[scootebaby]

evening everyone...sitting here with Jo watching the Voice--and being a critic my days are semi busy--as much as jo will allow of me that is....for most part tho i am getting agitated with my WC ppl--still no appt for a neurosurgeon(drs recommendation) or ortho spinal dr(WC desire) my business id having to run at 2 week intervals bc nothing is getting done..so im slowly watching my business slide further and further down bc my boss is not proactive--he is just trying to get by till i get back--which is actually undetermined but being done in 2 week intervals grrr

[Zimmeh]

Good Morning Everyone,

Scoote, I wish you the best with your business. I don't understand why WC is being so slow..Maybe they won't take who the dr is recommending? I am over being on unemployment. Every two weeks it is something new as to why I am being suspended from submitting my claim. I just think it is Florida and they really need to get their heads out of their asses. . Esurance told me that the State of Florida, allowed them to increase our automobile's insurance rates by 1.4%. I asked the lady I was talking to, "How can the State of Florida allow you to raise our car insurance rates when 3/4's of the state is on unemployment?". The lady had no answer for that question. So now I am looking for a new car insurance company, my payments are now going to be around $110 a month for PIP and Bodily Injury. My rate last year, was $68 a month.

I had two job interviews on Monday, one with Lane Bryant, which went well even though it was a group interview and one with CVS. The store manager for CVS loved me and didn't flinch when she saw how much experience I had. The job is only part time, but you can work at other stores until you hit 40 hours. I have a job interview on Friday with Behr's Chocolates and then one on Monday with BestBuy.

How does eggs, toast, and coffee sound for breakfast this morning?

Hugs to all of you and have a wonderful day,

Zimmy

Good Afternoon Everyone,

I just got a surprise call! I had an interview almost two weeks ago with the Peabody Hotel here in Orlando, for a position doing reservations. The recruiter just called and asked me to come in tomorrow morning and talk with the Reservations Department manager about a job as a PBX operator. I now have an interview at 9:30am tomorrow morning and the job starts off paying $8.25 per hour and is full time.

How does ice cream sound?

I am excited....Hope you all had a wonderful day!

i can totally see you in the reservations department, zimmy! crossing fingers, eyes, and toes for the interview to land a job! xo

[JustJo]

That would be great Zimmy! I'm crossing my fingers for you.

Busy day today...bit of a hassle at work but nothing more than what's become the usual *sigh* I had high hopes when we hired the new guy, but it's not turning out that well for a variety of ridiculous reasons. I just keep plugging away, and trust that it will improve.

Scoote and I just got back from dinner, I filled out passport paperwork...and then Scoote attacked me with an ice cube Well....actually the Rooster started it, but she kept up the attack!

Hope you are all having a relaxing evening.
