Hi you,

laughing. you know I am starting to think this might be rocket science afterall.. perhaps I should see if I an find some cliff notes.. and have you study them.. ? grins.

I slept so-so.. bit of a frustrating morning as well.. however, the day has become exponentially brighter.. so I am sticking with that.. smiles..

How is your day going?

Big Hugs.

How did you sleep?

Good Afternoon Jo,

Still with the cough? are you taking just over the counter stuff? or have you seen a Doc? nods.. not getting a good sleep is beyond frustrating.. just puts you in a fowl mood for the next day.. on top of just being exhausted. I hope you feel better soon. smiles.

Glad Rooster is enjoying himself.. after everything you all had to go through to get him here. Today it is like Spring.. you would not believe it.. I have the heat off and the windows open.. just crazy.. which also means there will be alot more party people out there later... nods.

I hope you and scoote are having a good day.. and keep drinking that tea (or drink more if you are not.. grins)..

Hugs

As Always,
Jake

I'm getting a late start today...was up coughing so hard from 4 to 5:30 a.m. that I just wore myself out. Joys of working from home and the job I have...I was able to set the alarm back another hour and try to get a bit more rest. I have definitely pulled or strained something in my upper back from all the coughing though...it's very sore, no matter what position I sit in.

Scoote has a long, tough day at work today...guess everyone wants pizza on New Year's Eve.

Spoke to the Rooster yesterday and he's having fun....and my mother, who scared us with a trip to the hospital (turned out she has some complications from her Crohn's and got very dehydrated). It was an interesting day.

Now for a cup of coffee, and to get seriously stuck into this mess on my desk.

Hope you all have a wonderful day...and be safe if you go out to celebrate tonight!

So I went out a second time and this time I hit some snow or mound or something and the battery went dead so I pulled into a side street and some nice guy pushed me closer and I called road side assist for a tow and the police but since I was in the street I had to get a police tow which cost ouch 150.00 dollars to tow one block to the gas station to get fixed...probably won't get done until Monday because of the holiday.. we are safe the dogs were with me thank G-d for that..and the police too were there protecting me..its enough with g-d damn snow already wish I lived in Florida already this wouldn't happen... I hope that nothing serious is wrong with the car I need it to get around.. will have to walk back to get it so I will sew for the days inside the house and take walks, the dogs will be happy...

Zimmeh · 12-31-2010, 02:56 PM

Heya You,

I am thinking it is the coffee. I followed all of Your directions and it still came out wrong. I also slept so-so, thanks to Lisa's 16 year old niece and my 13 year old nephew bunking in my room lastnight. I am thinking cliff notes would be helpful for me and thank You!

I had fun shopping with my two nieces today, I picked up some lavender hand cream for myself and the girls picked up some apple hand cream. My day is as bright as this gorgeous Florida Sunshine!

Hugs my friend and I am glad to make you giggle...

Have your mechanic check the battery cables and the motor mounts. When I hit a huge pot hole last year, I broke the top motor mount. Thankfully it will cost me only $65 for both pieces of the motor mount.

Keep warm,

Zimmy

Get to feeling better! If you need to, go to an urgent care facility and have them check you out.

Hugs and get well,

Zimmy

I can't imagine what it is because I was only going like 25 miles per hour and bam hit something apparently snow that someone threw out into the damn streets I tell ya its bad here in NJ well it in the shop and hopefully will be done on MOnday I need the money so I can get it out of there...what are everyone's New Years plans I'm ordering Pizza and getting to bed at a decent hour so I could walk the dogs early like they like...but thanks for your input!!

JakeTulane · 12-31-2010, 07:16 PM

Good Evening you,

nods. I agree as to the coffee. The grind does make a difference as does the temperature of the water itself. Hopefully when you try the other grind of coffee it will work.. or I am thinking I would have to fly down there.. on an emergency mission to make sure get to partake of said goodness. laughs.

I love lavender. The only place I really use it.. is if I take a bath versus a shower. I also use it when I do a foot soak too. My favorite is a sleepy time bath that is made by Johnson & Johnson's which is actually baby bath stuff... laughs. However, it smells great and makes My skin soft.

awwwww.. I am glad your day has been so bright.. those are the days we all look forward to having.. smiles.

I am off to get My spaghetti out of the water.. and have a late dinner.. some of those brownies you made recently would be great for a dessert... OR.. if you have any leftover birthday cake.. hint hint...

Big Hugs.

As Always,
Jake

Happy New Year to all of My coffee thread friends... Jo, scoote, Zimmy.. to the three of you especially...I consider you all part of My family... and I can not wait to meet each of you in person... and share those same sentiments face to face. You all make My world a brighter place to reside in. I hope the coming year holds all the peace, joy, and love you can withstand.

Much love and Big Hugs.

As Always,
Jake

JakeTulane · 12-31-2010, 08:23 PM

Hugs
