Heya Lipstix,

The banks are closed down here in Florida. Hope you had fun today, I went swimming for two and a half hours and had bbq'd chicken with potato salad and baked beans for lunch...

Have a good night,

Zimmy

Hope everyone had a wondeful holiday! I am exhausted and headed to bed soon.

Zimmy

Good morning Kitchen Peeps,

I suspect many will sleep in today. You get today off in lieu of the holiday, am I correct?

I see Lipstix is in the house, she is probably busy making soome food, so I will just go turn on the music.

This 80's one hit wonder was one of my faves, but since YouTube disabled the coding, I'll toss it to y'all in German :D


Happy Day all

Good morning Everyone,

I got my transcripts from my old high school on Saturday, so I am going to the college tomorrow and get everything taking care of so I can start college in august...

Thank you for breakfast Lipstix!

Have fun today,

Zimmy

Good morning, Everyone!

*placing 4 dozen boxes of warm, various flavored Krispy Kreme donuts on the kitchen counter and grabbing a to go cup of java*

Hey Zimmy, I commend you for starting college in August. You are a smart lady to pursue that path.

I am a huge promoter of education.

Thanks for the coffee - got to scoot!
Hope all of you have an enjoyable day!
:)
Brock

:cheer: Fancy capuccinos and Krispy Kreme??? Is it my birthday or something??? :cheesy:

Thanks Chancie and Brock :rrose: very sweet of you both, and welcome!

Good morning all :bringcoffee: and thank you for the breakfast and music...such a nice way to wake up! I've got the day off today as well (not that I work terribly hard most days anyway :giggle: ). It's still nice to have a sleep in though.

Glad to hear you got the transcript situation worked out Zimmy so you can get back to school. I know that going back to school was the smartest thing I ever did and changed my work life pretty dramatically. Crossing my fingers that it does the same for you.

We are still waiting to hear from the bank (sigh...). Unfortunately short sales take awhile, even though the bank we're working with has a good reputation for moving them along. I had already figured on being in FL by now though...so it's frustrating for sure.

Hope you all have a great day! :)

:lips: baby

I am seriously debating what I want for dinner...and am leaning towards risotto...with just a little onion, mushroom, some fresh herbs, chicken stock and just a splash of white wine. :) It's addicting...

Course, Scoote will be looking for the protein...so I'll put on some medallions of filet mignon as well...steam some asparagus...make a nice tossed salad. It's hot out...so dessert is going to be build-your-own ice cream sundaes. :eating:

This sounds so nice! I hope you have a wonderful time! :) I love funky little inns and B&B's and such. Glad to have you back, too...sounds like you've been busy, busy!

It's been hot and muggy here so I haven't gotten as much done as I planned..but got a little done at least. I'll just have to work a little harder at making progress in the rest of the week.

Hope you're all having a good evening :)

response to dark crystal's inquiry ...
 

dark crystal, I am just thankful not to have to wear steel toed boots and a hard hat to work anymore. That sort of work got rough on my back and body as I got older, plus the lifestyle was running me ragged. I went to college in the evenings and worked during the days to obtain a Bachelor's in computer science - graduated when I was forty years old. Best thing I ever did for myself. It has made my life a great deal easier, plus more money. And I love my job. That is why I always encourage people who show interest in education.

:gimmehug: Becca ....as a needle-phobic that just sounds helllish to me...poor you!

Be careful with the prednisone too. My mother was on it for years and has some pretty icky lasting repercussions from it. Tricky, because it's kind of a "miracle drug" at making people feel better in the short term...and the negative effects come later. Do some research if you haven't already. I know that keeping the dose as low as possible helps...

Good luck! :) (and ugh...you just reminded me that I was gonna strip beds today and didn't :blink: )

MidnightBlueEyes,

Sorry to hear you are having such a tough time with allergies. I am with JustJo in that I cannot stand needles. I don't pass out or anything - they can stick me all they want but I cannot look at the needle. If it comes to you needing to give yourself shots, how will you be with that? I suppose I could make myself do it to get better.

JustJo, did you get your fair share of the donuts? *grin*
I ate a glazed Krispy Kreme about an hour ago. So good! They are my favorite donut.

Best Wishes to you MidnightBlueEyes and I hope you feel better real soon.
Brock

goooooood evening kitcheneers........just making an appearance and say hello....seems like my days are running together--seems ive been going nonstop for ummmmmm awhile...and im taking 3 days off this weeke to take my son over to the gulf coast,but i got a feeling i wont be getting much rest there either....did i mention his g/f lives over there sooooooooooooo..

:rrose: for you honey

Nope....I saved you two :lips: Well...actually I saved you three but I ate one :blink:

Brock gets the credit for the Krispy Kremes tho honey...all I did was jump up and down and squeal. :cheesy:

Dark crystal...holiday eating rules are in effect all weekend...so all foods are calorie free and permissable :)

Good Morning Lipstix,

I am going for an Associate's Degree in Nursing, registered nursing is the area that I am looking into. I will be attending the local community college and then I am going to try and persue my Bachelor's Degree in Nursing. I will have two of them, one from DeVry and one from the community college. If I feel up to it, I am going to try and get my Master's Degree in Nursing. I feel like DC, I need an education intervention. Once I am done with college, I more than likely will be moving back to Orlando to work. The Lake Nona area is becoming a huge ass medical center with several well known children's hospitals opening...

Have fun today,

Zimmy

:bringcoffee: Good morning everyone :rrose:

I am having a heck of a day already...grrrrr....running on about 4 hours of sleep, it already feels like it's 90 upstairs, and now my work computer has locked me out and I have to wait (but still work) until 8 a.m. west coast time until the BT guys and gals show up for work. Ugh. The only good news is that I don't have any calls that require me to be on my computer this morning...so I guess that's something :blink:

Putting on extra strong coffee and a tray of danish and scones.....and going to kick the computer again. :|

Good Morning Brock,

I have my first Bachelor's Degree from DeVry University, but the field I chose has since died and living in Florida with 17 years of work experience and a Bachelor's Degree, makes most employers push your app to the side...They told me that I was over qualified...That is why I am completely changing my degree...I am going to get my Associate's Degree in Nursing and then possibly get my Bachelor's Degree in Nursing..

Have a good day,

Zimmy

Yummy! :eating:

Thank you Chancie! :)
