Good Evening Everyone,

How about some filet mignon, baked potatoes, steamed veggies and fresh yeast rools for dinner tonight?

I had to work at 7am this morning, but since I didn't get to take a lunch break, I was able to leave at 2:30p. I came home to take a two hour long nap and woke up somewhat rejunvinated..Hehe..

Hope you all had a wonderful day,

Zimmy

This sounds delicious

Scoote cooked tonight....and we had yummy pork chops, macaroni & cheese and steamed broccoli. But I could find room for a second dinner!

A nap sounds like heaven...I managed one while we were on vacation, but I wanted one today too.

I nap more days than not. Clearly, you have a lack of commitment to the sport.

I'm glad you guys had a good vaca.

Good morning everyone

Coffee is on....and I'm in the mood for...



Hi Dapper...long time no see in the kitchen! And, you're right....I fail miserably as a napper and truly wish I could do better. Sleeping is not my strong suit.

Luckily, today is a day with only one measly conference call...unheard of....so I actually get to spend some of my work time thinking, planning, catching up on paperwork and all of those other more fun things that I get to do from home in my pajamas. In fact, today will involve much spreadsheet number-crunching, which always puts a smile on my face (yes, I'm weird like that!).

Scoote had a busy, long day at work yesterday, so she's still

Hope you all have a great day!

[Zimmeh]

Good Morning Everyone,

Jo Jo, love the numbers crunching. Hope work didn't kick Scoote's butt and that hys back is doing good. I got a letter in the mail, telling me, that I no longer was going to get unemployment. I cracked up laughing, since I haven't applied for it since May. Thank you for breakfast!!!! I am adding some chocolate soymilk.

Dapper, I love to take a nap when my body won't stay up any longer, and so far, I am doing good!

Have a great day everyone,

Zimmy

Good morning everyone

We did kitty rescue off the fence and hole filling (Grayson is a digger) early this morning....now I'm having coffee and bracing myself for the day (wayyyyy too many conference calls) and Scoote is watching the Casey Anthony trial.

I think I need a gigantic one of these...



Hope you all have a great day!

[Zimmeh]

Good Evening Everyone,

I am thinking of baked pork chops thinly sliced, with Italian dressing baked with a side of Stoufer's Stove Top stuffing and baked beans for dessert? It smells very yummy!!!!!

Enjoy,

Zimmy

[Zimmeh]

Good Morning Everyone,

Hope you all are having a great week so far! I spent the last two days, emptying out my storage unit and looking forward to moving next Thursday...I still have one more load of stuff and I will be finished.

How about some eggs, toast, grits, fresh fruit, juice, coffee, tea and milk for breakfast?

Have a great day,

Zimmy

Zimmy, that sounds delicious but I will have to take a pass this morning. My honey has placed his order and I actually feel like cooking.

Heck, I have been cooking so much lately, I am beginning to wonder what's come over me.

Our main plan for today is a road trip to visit a friend and take him homemade individually packaged meals to reheat since he isn't up to fixing anything for himself right now. It should be a good day for a road trip and it will be wonderful to see him.

Jo, I can honestly say I don't miss having a job with conference calls. Let me build a spreadsheet, or work with one, and I am in heaven.

Andrea

Good Morning Everyone,

Hope you all have a great holiday weekend and it's a safe one! I have to work tonight until 11p, and then go back to work at 6am tomorrow morning. I am so going to need brain food!

How about some fresh fruit, cold cereal, milk, juice and coffee for breakfast?

Have fun today,

Zimmy

[JustJo]

Good morning!

Thanks for keeping the kitchen up and running Zimmy...it's been a busy few days! I was actually up and working a bit past midnight last night (we launched a new feature online and I had to test and sign off on my part of it), so the alarm felt like it was going off mighty early this morning.

I think this looks wonderful...



There are a few important things on my desk to finish before the weekend...a conference call/project team meeting I have to lead (and I hear you on the conference call vs. spreadsheet thing Andrea! )...then a call with my former boss' boss to talk about her vision for our department and my role (should be interesting)....and then a, hopefully, relaxing 3 day weekend.

Hope you all have a great day!

[Zimmeh]

Good Morning Jo Jo,

You are very welcome and I was having fun doing it. I finished cleaning out my storage unit yesterday and now I have to clean my car out...I was up for the last two nights out of three, staying up until after 2am with a friend. I have never laughed so hard in my life and when I woke up the next morning, my lungs hurt.

Hope you can finish all of your work so you and the family can have a blast at the beach! I finish working at 2:30p on Monday, so I will be able to enjoy something of my 4th of July.

Hugs to all of you,

Zimmy

Good morning all:

My honey and I have been concentrating on the yard, garden and completing errands this week. Not sure how it happened but we have been notified there will be dinner for six, with laughter and conversation at our house tonight. Guess we need to concentrate on the neglected inside of the house. It shouldn't take too long but I am really not in the mood to dust and vacuum.

I don't understand why we are meeting at our little house when they all have much bigger homes. Must have something to do with the love in this house.

Zimmy, you make me tired just hearing about it. LOL When is the move?

LOL I just realized we have other friends that invited themselves to our place on Monday so that my honey can make them bbq. They are bringing all the food. In this case, our place is bigger than theirs. LOL

It is shaping up to be a great weekend. Hope everyone has a fantastic holiday.

Hi Kitchen Folk.

You know, I'd come here more often if you'd have a bike rack installed out front. Do you know how many bicycles fit into a car parking spot? We bicycle riders support people who support us. My public service announcement for T O D A Y !

It's almost One (pm) and I have not had my ONE cup of coffee yet.
Anyhow, I managed to get a four day weekend. I'm just sorta getting moving. Initially I cranked out several chores, then after I took a shower, I picked up a book, and haven't done much since. Quiet-down time is very important to me too. Sheeese, we were *pushing it* yesterday so we wouldn't have to work today. Actually all week....I came home around 6 ish and sat on the couch with the mail and I fell asleep, mail still in my hand and on my lap. I woke up an hour later and was so confused. I thought I was late for work, Couldn't remember why I was all dressed for work and sitting on the couch....(I ride a bicycle back and forth, I am not in office clothes until I get there....) It was bizarre....and then because I had severe confusion going on, I started to take items out of my purse. That made no sense to me, and I really didn't realize I did it until I came into the livingroom today and saw the unopened mail, my purse and half of the junk laying on the couch.....then I had an *ah ha* moment, recalling I fed the kat and went to bed with the radio to listen to the baseball game....... Thanks Scoote for the coffee. I'll slow down some.

Anyhow, I work for a woman attorney who is a work-a-holic. Even more than I am. She's freaking awesome and I love that *I* get to work for her. She has another big case on Tuesday (this reminds me of memorial day week end, now that I am thinking of it) and I told her I'd work either saturday or sunday ONE not both.....(monday is out, because it's baseball)
She hasn't signed on to her computer yet, I'm not sure if that is good or bad......

It's in between meal time.......what do you have to snack on? I'll eat dry ceral right out of the box......I don't require much. Anyhow, going bicycle riding. Put my SPF 30 on. I never seem to get here when anyone is here.
I hear noise in the back part of the house........I think it's Jo on her stair stepperHoly Cow!

[Zimmeh]

Good Night Everyone!!

I have to work at 6am tomorrow morning.

Zimmy

Good morning

Holiday weekend...must be time for brunch...



Started out looking like a nice day here, but now getting gray and looks like we might be in for more rain. I won't complain....it's been so dry that we were officially in a drought with water restrictions and the lawn was dying. So, come on rain!

Didn't manage to sleep in again today (no surprise....just wish I could), so up about 8, cleaned and adjusted the chemicals in the pool, made coffee and tea...and then, since the kettle was boiling made jello for Scoote and a pitcher of ice tea for later (I'm really trying to get off the soda).

Scoote ran off to a garage sale and work for something....and I made breakfast for Rooster and I....wish there was a brunch like this one around here to go to though *sigh*. I just love brunch buffets and leisurely weekend mornings....drinking too much coffee and grazing the buffet...talking with friends. For me, that's probably the perfect weekend morning.

Hope you all have a great day...and a safe, pleasant holiday weekend.

Good Morning Everyone,

I woke up to a toothache this morning and it stinks that my insurance doesn't start until next month.

How about some yogurt and toast this morning.

Have a great day!

[Andrea]

I am whipping up some whole wheat oatmeal pancakes with a blueberry and syrup topping, if anyone cares to join us.

I am looking forward to the singing and hugging at church this morning. It is a great way to start a new week.

Zimmy, I will hold positive thoughts for you that your tooth will quit hurting.

Andrea
