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

[Zimmeh]

I haven't been to St. Augustine in a very long time and I'm looking forward to it. I live 62 miles from Jacksonville.

Have fun today,

Zimmy

Good Morning Everyone,

I am leaving the coffee on and breakfast is a la cart!

Have a wonderful day,

Zimmy

Good morning everyone!

We got to meet Zimmy!

The trip to St. Augustine has been interesting....the town is so cool...I'd love to be able to explore it more leisurely. I particularly like the old fort....love historical sites and learning new things. We also did the Pirate Museum and Ripleys....went for a paranormal hunt last night but it was not what we had hoped. It was very cold (low of 31), and no one came prepared for that...add in too much earlier tension, a guide that spoke so softly I couldn't hear, drunks in the group who wanted to be loud and stupid.....yea....waste of money and time. Oh well.

Once again, I'm up hours before the others....bored out of my mind.

Today we'll head out to the lighthouse and then (the real purpose of this whole trip) to my aunt's birthday party and seeing 60 or 70 members of my father's family...most of whom I haven't seen in more than a dozen years.

Hope you all have a great day! I'm about to get dressed, abandon the sleepers and walk over to Denny's for breakfast and a cup of coffee.

[Zimmeh]

Good Morning Jo Jo,

I had a blast meeting you, Scoote and the boys. I cannot believe I snorted when I was laughing at you all, hehe....When are you going to Orlando again? I cannot wait to hang out with you all again...Maybe go to Animal Kingdom or Epcot? I would love to do Mission Space again at Epcot. One day, you should check out the Ponce de Leon lighthouse in Ponce Inlet, FL. It is located near Daytona Beach Shores!

Have fun today and have a safe trip home!!!

Good Morning Sylvie,

What are your plans for the next two days? I am at my mom's house, doing homework and then I am headed home to do laundry and get everything ready for class tomorrow. I am going to need a coffee IV for my history class.

Have fun today,

Zimmy

hey Zimmy!! ((huggz))
i'm not sure on my plans for the next 2 days. i definitely need one of the days for housework catchup! i'll be doing the gym as well, gotta run to the grocery store tomorrow and pick up a few things on sale, strawberries especially, yum!
going to fit in a visit with my Nanny G at the hospital too, i adore her.. Otherwise, relaaaaaaaaaaax hehe..

my life is so terribly exciting isn't it? may do a lil work on my website as well.. LOL @ a coffee IV, history must be an exciting class, eh!! have a great day today Zimmy, i'm leaving back for work in about 30 minutes, so ill be back around this evening!!

[JustJo]

Good morning everyone

Putting the coffee pot on, and dusting out the kitchen before I start making the french toast...



It's been a crazy few days for sure.

We had the fun of meeting Zimmy...adventured around St. Augustine (kind of a mixed bag but lots there to see)...went to see part of my family that I haven't seen in years and years...and came home to find that two of our kittys were missing. I managed to find one, but the other (my son's cat) is still gone.

Scoote and the Prince posted flyers I made everywhere, and we've got neighbors on the lookout, Animal Control has him on the "lost" list, and we'll be keeping an eye on the animal shelters....but so far no luck at all.

Work is being interesting too...turns out that the colleague I'm taking over for hasn't been nearly as productive as I assumed he was (and yes, I still like him....but I'm irritated). I now inherit his projects....with not nearly enough done and close deadlines. Ouch.

Today I literally have conference calls from 11 to 12, and then solid from 1 to 6. Insanity.

Hope you all have a great day....and I'll be on later if my brain is still working!

[Zimmeh]

Good Afternoon Jo Jo,

Hope you find your baby! Rooster is going to be upset if the baby doesnt come back. I had a blast meeting you and Scoote, and I am looking forward to having dinner again! Maybe, we all can go shell hunting on Flagler Beach?

Good luck on your conference calls, I am trying to read two chapters of my history textbook before class today...

Hugs to you and the family,

Zimmy

Oh that is too bad on the lost cat, why do they keep running away?? That is the question for sure and good luck JO on the conference calls this afternoon..It snowed again here UGH on the snow and it is suppose to snow again this evening into tonight. I called the shovel guy but he hasn't called back yet so i DON'T KNOW what to think as of yet but need some help..have a great day everyone!!

[sylvie]

good morning... (errr, afternoon here) heh..

awwh Jo i hope ya's find the kitty soon.. our cat Gibson is so scared of the outside he wont even go near the door, i'm thankful for that actually.. i remember having a kitty when i was younger, and he'd take off for a week at a time when he was in heat, we lived in the country and the cat was an outside lover, always travelled lol.. but one time he didn't come home at all, *sniffle* i was so heartbroken over that, heck i still am.. *fingers crossed you find the kitty very soon*

i'm on split shift today..
go back at 4pm, and it's snowing like mad out there today, accumulating pretty fast so not sure how much we'll get.. we're expecting another snowstorm in a couple days again, too apparently.. that makes me oh so happy !
*not*

Have a wonderful Thursday everyone!! xo!

[Zimmeh]

Good Morning Everyone,

Hope you all had a wonderful week! Today is Friday!!! Let's party for the whole weekend....

I am thinking it's a Cheerios kind of morning, with fresh fruit, whole grain, whole wheat toast, orange juice, coffee, tea and soda for Scoote!

Have fun today, I'm off to finish homework that I didn't get finished and study for my nutrition exam which is this coming week...

Zimmy

[JustJo]

Good morning everyone

I agree with Zimmy....it's a coffee and Cheerios kind of morning...



It's another busy day for work....and I can't wait for the weekend to come. I love my job, but I'm ready for a couple days off!

Happy Friday everyone! Hope the studying goes well Zimmy....and that the northern friends stay warm!

baby....don't let them drive you crazy today!

[sylvie]

good morning Zimmy & Jo!! (and anyone else who wanders in) =)

home between shifts - & i had cheerios this morning at work, with some skim milk, chopped some banana in it.. and had a mandarin as well, i swear i could live on those things lol..

it's lunch time here, not sure what i want yet tho, *ponders*
just kind of sitting here enjoying the quiet right now..
have a wonderful day everyone!

Jo any luck finding your kitty yet?
Zimmy good luck studying!

Hope everyone is having a great day!!

[wimsiclegirl]

Good Afternoon All! Today is a work at home day for me...I am getting some done..yay along with a mix of other stuff!! It also lets me float around on the planet more than usual! I love that it is FRIDAY and the WEEKEND!!! I hope everyone has tons of fun

For some unexplained reason...I am now craving cheerios..hmmm....Think I will wander off and find some before going back to work.

Have a GREAT day everybody~~

[JustJo]

Good evening all, and welcome Foxy and wimsicle

I'm putting on a pot of decaf and thinking a Bailey's coffee sounds wonderful tonight.

There's chicken and rice in the oven, almost done...in fact I need to go check it in a minute.

Scoote's still at work, but called me a bit ago with some really good news (that I'll let her share ).

Sooooo glad it's Friday...I'm ready for the weekend! Anyone have any fun plans?

[Zimmeh]

Dinner sounds yummy and I am excited about Scoote's news!!!

Hey Hey Hey Kitcheneers......Long time no type..been working way too much and too tired when i get home to actually engage in anything more than a grunt or groan here or there.

so since Jo mentioned it i guess i can spill the beans.....My boss callled me around 430-5pm and said "congratulations you won the pinnacle award---ur going to the Bahamas... i was like "no way" for real??? i didnt get any details--of course it was dinnertime on a friday--but he did say he thinks that they allow/let/pay( not really sure) my significant other to go with me...i get the impression its a big deal...whatever the deal im pretty pysched about winning!

so i worked an almost 13 hr job today and think i got 10-11 hrs yesterday so im kinda tired....hope everyone has a great,relaxing weekend....and yes i/we will think of you all when we are in the bahamas
