Good Morning Everyone,

I am thinking a buffet breakfast is in order! I have a few errands to run this morning and then I'm off to finish my homework. Lisa is off today, so I won't be studying at home...Panera or Starbucks is where I will end up!

Have fun,

Zimmy

good afternoon everyone, its a winter storm warning in effect, some snow but some sleet also, staying inside where it is safe and warm. And yes Sylvie its a real mess and more to come on the way. The ice could knock out the power too for Bergen county!! Its enough already I can understand anyway in the area or beyond with the snow..have a great day

Good Morning Everyone,

I will be heading to Orlando this afternoon; I am going to be looking at UCF and the local community colleges to transfer to. I am also thinking of changing from Nursing to Teaching, from what I have been told by the admin's here at Daytona State, there nursing program has a waiting list. Since I have already had my teaching certificate, I am looking at that instead of nursing.

I am feeling a lot better and I am wishing it was so cold.

Have a good day,

Zimmy

Good morning everyone

Glad you're feeling a bit better Zimmy! Being sick is no fun. I think I'm finally shaking that cough (after 2 months...yay!), and I'll be glad to see the end of it.

I thought I'd bring you all breakfast in bed this morning...



...goodness knows we all deserve it!

I've been super busy at work lately. My ex-co-worker left me a huge mess. I'll be the hero when I get it straightened out (and I will), but it's a headache in the meantime. I just chalk it up to job security! I'm very fortunate to have a job I love, and to be able to work from home, so I can handle this little rough patch.

Got our taxes done the other night, too...and big relief that I won't be paying more after paying all year. My return will be small, but it's better than getting a bill!

Let us know about the schools Zimmy. I think you'd be great as either a nurse or a teacher!

Hope you all have a good day... ....and a big to Scoote. She's been dealing with all kinds of hassles with her employees at work, and working 12 hour days.

[sylvie]

good morning !

stopping by to say a quick hello.. i need to get ready for an appointment soon, my son has to go to an eye doctor, he has a muscle detached behind one eye, so the options are to try glasses with special lenses to correct it, and if that doesn't work then surgery.. so today we're going to get him set up with the eye clinic he'll have to attend, and then make an appointment to go pick up some glasses for him in the near future..

i got this evening off, incase because i'm not sure how long these appointments will last or what's expected..

-- hope you all have a fabulous kinda day today! weekend is almost here! (not MY weekend, however LOL) my day off is on... umm... uhhh...Tuesday!

*waves & runs off with some breakfast* thanks Jo! *smiles*

[lipstixgal]

Oh yum breakfast in bed too I'll take some of that...thinking eggs today and turkey bacon which is good too but pancakes are better..WEll another year for me on Saturday its my birthday and I am celebrating at my temple with some friends and temple members as well. Its cold here today and will warm up over the weekend I hope..have a great day everyone..

Good morning friends

Prop up your pillows a bit....here's your breakfast tray.



It's another beautiful morning...blue sky, sunshine, kitties galloping around in the back yard and back through the house (the sliding glass doors are wide open for the fresh air). It's soooooo nice to not be dealing with another upstate NY winter!

I was planning on sleeping in, but my internal alarm clock woke me at 7:10. Oh well. I made a pot of coffee, put a batch of pumpkin bread in the oven and am just relaxing instead. The Rooster is on his computer, playing the new game he got as a reward for making honor roll, the Prince is awake early (for him) and in the shower, and Scoote is still snoozing. She needs it after all the long, stressful days she's had at work.

We're going to head to the dog beach this afternoon....hunt some shells, get some exercise, sun and fresh air, and take the pooch for a nice long walk as well. He loves it there...and I enjoy it as well. You see the occasional out of control dog (or owner) but mostly the people you run into are friendly and the dogs are too. It's fun to see the water-loving dogs running into the water and playing.

Hope you all have a wonderful day!

[Zimmeh]

Good Morning Jo Jo,

It's a gorgeous day here in Orlando! I have been here since Thursday night and I'm headed home tomorrow. I've been looking for a job while I am here.

Have fun at the beach today!

Good morning friends!

Here's breakfast by the fire for all of you frozen Northerners...



I've been incredibly busy at work, but it's going well. In fact, I just got a huge compliment from my boss (and her boss) when they both nominated me for Six Sigma training. In my company, that's a big deal. Not sure I'll get in to the program, but my fingers are firmly crossed!

Scoote has been working crazy hours...and today has the "big bosses" at her store, so I hope that all goes well for her too.

I've been plugging away at getting things done around the house too....Rooster and I hauled the last of the "shed garbage" out to the curb. That took a few trips over a couple weeks, but it's all gone now. All that's left is to break up and lift out the old floor....which will be a pain in the rear, no doubt. And a couple days ago, I cleared out the stacks of paperwork around my desk that have been driving me crazy since we moved in...so I feel less "surrounded" at my desk...much better!

Still a ton of things to do around here...but it's progress!

Hope you all have a great day.

...and to you baby...hope things go smooth at work!

My dog loves the beach. Runs around like a mad man! Running and running in huge circles. And he is just a little guy - a shortie Jack Russell. His sister used to eat the sand.

Hi Dapper!

Ours loves it too. He's a little scared of the waves, but he likes to follow along when we hunt shells, and will run ahead quite a bit too.

He cracked me up last time. Scoote was some distance from the rest of us and out knee-deep in the water when a strange dog (looked like a pitbull) went running up to her. The dog was being perfectly friendly, but Shadow (a mini-dachshund) decided he needed to protect her...and went charging and barking at the other dog.

The dog just looked at him like , wagged and trotted off.
