Jan 2 - 2009 FIRST FRIDAY!

Dylan · Leader Of The Banned

Hey D.S.,

I just got home from work...I keep the peace from 11-7. biggrin

disco strangler · Smiles everyone, smiles!

Good morning, Dylan.

I'm sure those hours keep you especially busy this time of year.

Dylan · Leader Of The Banned

Alot of grown ups have been sent to the corner for a timeout over the last couple of days. biggrin

How are things in your part of the world?
Is your day starting okay?

disco strangler · Smiles everyone, smiles!

Another day, another dollar.
I'm ready for Christmas break to be over and the kids to go back to school...

Dylan · Leader Of The Banned

Only three more days DS

Light at the end of the tunnel biggrin

JD The Jazz Doctor · Grand Poobah

oh hello. I am off today. I could have gone in, but took a vacation day instead. Its inventory counting day at work & I'm not a big fan of doing that.

MzHartz · Permanent Vacation

Good day all.

I'm off today too. Which is good, because I'm not feeling so great. I've felt like my allergies have been consistently bugging me the last few days. Last night I took a Benadryl, so I slept in this morning even though I went to bed early last night. Today I'm still feeling stuffed up and my throat hurts.

Our regular vacuum isn't working so well, so we've been using the touch-up vacuum. I think that's not picking up the dust mites in the carpet or something. So I'm taking the vacuum in to be fixed today. Then we're doing a good de-dusting cleanup this weekend.

Top of the morning to ya'll.

I went to Walgreens today to buy one of those "as seen on TV" Pasta n' More cookers. You can cook your pasta in the microwave and the container can be used as a strainer and then server/storage.

I was surprised to find out that a box of pasta takes 27 minutes to cook in this thing!

None the less, I got some pasta cooking now (Rotini). I had an idea last night for a low-cal chilled pasta that I wanted to try. Gonna mix the rotini with some slice black olives and a big jar of mild salsa. I don't know why, but for some reason that sounded good to me.

We'll see if it tastes good. Maybe I'll have my sister try a bowl first

Jeremy Riggs · 2011 Super Bowl Champions!

Well allright!

I'm impressed. The Pasta looks perfectly cooked. It was easy to drain, rinse, re-drain and then add the ingredients, mix it up and throw it in the fridge.

I give the PASTA AND MORE a thumbs up! 9 out of 10 stars!

YUM! Now, throw some cannellini beans in there for protein...

What time did you say was supper time?

Mad Mema · Bad Biker Granny

Morning all!

I really need to work on getting back into a normal sleep pattern. Monday is not gonna be fun for me going back to work!

Protein. I forgots the protein.

ghostdancer · Ghost In The Machine

Hi all. This is actually my last day of Christmas break, not counting the weekend. I'm really not looking forward to going back to work; I've even thought about turning in a letter of resignation. hmm

I don't want to go back there anymore. I dunno, I'll probably go back, work through June 11th, and then be done for good.

Anyway.....
This week seams like it flew by!! I can't believe the holidays have been here and are gone already. As they say, time sure flies when you're having fun. biggrin

JR, glad you like your pasta thing. smile

Mema, we'll both be dragging come Monday.

Mad Mema · Bad Biker Granny

I shall comiserate with you!

ghostdancer · Ghost In The Machine

Sounds like a plan. smile

We'll gripe about how we really don't want to be there, while everyone else won't have any pity for us since they've been working right along.

Mad Mema · Bad Biker Granny

I like it!! We can even sing the Monday song!!

Dylan · Leader Of The Banned

Monday will be my Saturday.

ghostdancer · Ghost In The Machine

There's a possibility our schools might be closed on Monday...a slim possibility, but still! We're supposed to get freezing rain Sunday and Monday. My youngest girl is hoping for a "snow day" too. She's not ready to go back either.

Mad Mema · Bad Biker Granny

My Monday will be incredibly non-productive. A long chain of co-workers stopping by to ask how sad I am to be back at the office.

Ruby · The Good Witch Of The South

My vacation is almost over too. I found out today- mom of the year- that the kids go back Tuesday! Man oh man they are killing us. But I will NOT stay home another day. Not sure if I am going to take her to daycare or let her sister watch her. I am ready, but I am sure by Tuesday, I will be hating work again! hmm

Get well soon MZ.

MzHartz · Permanent Vacation

Thanks Ruby. Tuesday? That's a weird way to schedule it.

At this point, I'm thinking I might have a cold instead of it just being my allergies. I took a Claritin today, and it didn't relieve any of my symptoms. And even when I should be, I haven't been all that hungry, and food isn't very appetizing. I'm glad I have the long weekend with nothing planned, it'll give me time to recoop. And Brian just felt my forehead and said he thinks I have a slight fever. I'm usually a bit on the cool side, so I'll take his word for it.
