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

JustJo · 07-07-2011, 06:06 PM

She's doing quite a bit better, thank you.

She's home, has more energy and is eating...although not gaining any weight yet. She said it still feels like 1/2 a sandwich and a small cup of soup is a huge meal....and she struggles to eat even that much, so it'll take some time.

I've been up for hours. Alarm Kat doesn't allow anyone to ever sleep in.

I was at the gym already.

Coffee is on.

I paid my bills. A severe storm is on its way, good. Hope that will make it less humid.

I know I need to sell my race car. It's not really a race car, it's a four cylinder. It's a 2002 with 40k miles on it. I had a low profile kit installed on it and a few other modifications...my favorites would be the race car seats and the holley shifter. Anyhow.....I have no use for two cars. I really am not sure I need one. Friends have suggested I use craigs list. Have you ever read craigs list?

It's on my list of things to do today. At least get it posted. My new car has been sitting out and my old car (but it's the race car) has been sitting in the garage) there is seriously something wrong with the way my brain works sometimes.

Well, I think I'll shower and start my day. Thanks for the coffee, Oh and Zimmy, the last time I moved.....(about a dozen years ago) I swore I was never moving again) what an ordeal!

Happy Friday!

JustJo · 07-08-2011, 07:41 AM

The gym and home before 8 a.m.?

I'm impressed!

Good morning everyone

I'm getting kind of a slow start today...thank goodness it's Friday (and payday, yay!). Tons to do today...lots for work and then even more to ensure that Rooster is ready for his trip. I'm a bit nervous...I know he'll be fine and have a great time, but putting my almost 14 year old in the hands of strangers for a week is

Lucky kiddo though....he gets to stay in the dorms at Georgetown, get cool lectures designed for the program by university professors, go to Ford's Theater, the International Spy Museum, tour all the DC monuments (in the evening when they're all lit up), tour Capitol Hill (and potentially meet his state senator or representative...the program is great about setting that up). I wish I could go!

We were looking at the schedule last night and they will be keeping him busy...breakfast from 7:15 to 8, then a day full of activity until 9 p.m., lights out by 10 or 10:30.

He gets a week of that...then off to his father in NY and some time to see his favorite Granny as well. I'll miss him, but I know it's good for him too. That'll be my mantra until he gets home in almost 6 weeks.

Hoping Zimmy's move goes well today and that you get all settled into your new place.

And a great day, and happy Friday, to everyone....the weekend's almost here!

Zimmeh · 07-08-2011, 08:03 AM

Good Morning Everyone,

The movers are here and they are doing a wonderful job! The apartment looks strange without any furniture in it.

Have a great day,

Zimmy

Andrea · 07-08-2011, 08:42 AM

You all sound like you are having busy, busy lives. Remember to take time for yourselves too.

We were supposed to take a road trip and visit my father-in-law but my honey had a hard time getting to sleep so won't be up until very late. Guess we will visit Dad tomorrow or next week. It isn't like he remembers our visit or us anyway.

Perhaps I should use the day to finally purge the file cabinet of three year old paid bills and such. For a going paperless world, I still have lots of it.

Made the switch to fat free creamer and am now thinking about giving coffee up entirely. It just isn't the same without the creamy creamer.

Sorry for the whining this morning. I seem to be down......

Andrea · 07-09-2011, 09:27 AM

Got the coffee going. Thank you for putting the instructions next to the pot regarding how much coffee grounds because my honey always prepares my coffee before going to bed so all I have to do is turn it on. (See I am spoiled statement below)

Looks like it is good cereal for breakfast since Zimmy isn't up to cooking and I haven't seen anyone else around.

Sorry for my whining yesterday. I have no idea what that was about. Even Rene kept his distance.

I think I have talked him into installing the ceiling fan in the spare room today. It has been in the box, just waiting, since before I moved here six years ago. It is time. LOL

Have a great Saturday everyone.

Tommi · 07-09-2011, 09:38 AM

Good morning everyone here and there. I discovered I can give up my addiction to McDonald's Large iced sugar-free vanilla coffee--I am home brewing it.

I am now making my own, using fat-free milk, sugar free vanilla, and crushed ice. I make extra stong coffee, cool it in the pot with ice cubes, add crushed ice to a 32 oz. drive-thru drink container, add cooled coffee and sip away.

Ahhhhhhhh... and don't sit in line, and spend $2.79/day at MCDonald's.

Tommy.....Diva posted a great how to make cold coffee post *secret formula* I make it in decafe, I never had cold coffee before I read that post. You"ll have to ask the traveling D what thread that was in.......
(its a concentrate you make and it keeps for days!)

Andrea.....I laughed out loud when I read your post. I was sitting in a kayak on the river with dense fog over my head......well, i was floating, and using my phone to read the planet and post. I'd of killed for a real coffee. The morning kayak run was cancelled due to the fog, and now it, the fog, is humidity, and I am back inside my igloo wearing socks with a little blanket thrown over me. I love my a/c. I read Zimmy was doing bathroom surgery and removing one of her knees but was going to use a frosty to numb it first. I don't think she'll care much about the cereal today. Next time she wants to move, I'm going to remind her of this 15 hour ordeal. It's the reason I am never moving again. They will bury me in this house. (I bought it new so it would be possible for that to happen)
Were you whining? I must have been self absorbed or something, I didn't notice. Didn't put the car up for sale yet either. I don't know why I am so in love with that car. Please, it's not my mid life crisis car either. Never love anything that doesn't love you back.

How's Jo doing? she had to send her son away for most of the summer.....is she doing retail therapy today?

I always enjoy the coffee when I stop in here......catch you all later,
