Well, it's almost here...
I'm having trouble breathing...
be still my beating heart...
In just a few short days, the new (and final) season of Lost will premiere.
You
know, I've made fun of my lovely father for a great many years because
he is undoubtedly a "Trekkie". It seems that it's time for me to pay my
dues because I must stand up and say...
Hello, My name is Robin
and I'm a Lost-ie.
Now,
I'm not really dissecting each and every episode, reference and nuance.
However, I'm fairly certain that ... Continue reading ...

...as in, I don't have anything "prepared". Not as in, I don't have anything to say. Because, hell, that'll never happen! Ha!
I suppose I should start with "I'd like to thank the Academy..."
Oh wait, that's a different award.
How about...
Wow!
Thanks!
I can't believe it!
One of my new bloggy friends, Samantha over at Our Family Journal, for some reason thinks I deserve this cool blog award! (You like that modesty?) Really though, I'm flattered. And excited. And happy that I get to bestow it on some... Continue reading ...
Music has always had such a strong influence on my life. There are songs that take me to a time in my life and can remind me of the immense happiness or the unbelievable sadness of that time. When I think back on my high school days, one band that was always in constant rotation in my playlists, was there with me through good and bad times, always made me sing at the top of my lungs and still makes me happy is the band Everclear. I love every one of their albums. Hubby and I still rock their ... Continue reading ...

Favorite Things
In the spirit of "getting to know me", I'm going to do a few posts with some of my favorite things. So, without further adieu (and because I am too tired to even pretend to be witty), here we go.
Fave pic of TRex and Snappy. I love this pic. Hubby took it. He is sweet enough to let me sleep in sometimes and get up with the kids on Sunday morning and do breakfast. If it's nice out they love to have breakfast "al fresco". This pic makes me smile because a)I was still asleep during this moment b)... Continue reading ...

So, this lovely little chickie in the Blog Frog community that I frequent started a thread about tattoos and if we have them and what they mean to us. I was going to respond to SIF's thread but, realized that I love my tattoos and their stories enough to do a whole post about it! Check out her blog and the Blog Frog thread!
My first tattoo was when I was 18. My crazy roommate and I decided on a whim one night that we wanted to go get tattoos. We wanted matching tattoos. I knew I wanted a frog ... Continue reading ...
Well, we had a nice little Sunday. The sky was clear. The wind was calmer. The temps were warmer. It felt like a normal Texas winter! The kids got some much needed outdoor play and sun. Hubby got some much needed downtime from work. I got some time with a friend and then got to come home and snap pics of all this craziness and fun. It was a nice day!
I think this may be one of my fave pics of TRex evah!
Keely over at MannLand5 has a Sunday Blog Hop called "Getting To Know You" and I'm finally joining in! Head over to her blog and play along!
Today's questions are...
1. Hair color...Au naturale...or not? Not. Not since 1992. I've been most colors. Even had a crazy time when I dyed it black. Mostly it's some shade of red. These days it doesn't get dyed often so it's a wonderful mix of years of different colors and some of my natural mousey color coming in. Oh, and don't forget the gray/white peek...

Because I need to laugh...
Because this shit is funny...
Because Louis C.K. rocks...
Because it's true...
(disclaimer: If you can't handle cussing and laughing about the things parents think, don't watch this. But, if you like "funny because it's true" comedy, put on a diaper because this will make you pee yourself.)

5 Question Friday
Well, I was going to procrastinate today's 5QF but, since Mama M. used one of my question suggestions, I guess I'll do this post when it's actually still Friday!
If you want to participate in 5 Question Friday, head over to My Little Life and link up with Mama M.!
Today's Questions:
1. Worst trouble you ever got into as a teenager? Ok, what was I thinking when I suggested this question? Not like I can plead the 5th now! Hmmmm. Oh, I've got one. When I was 16, three friends and I signed up to go ... Continue reading ...
Hubby said it to me yesterday evening and my heart sank. My mind started racing with what the news could be.
His eyes got a little red and he choked out the news about our dog, Max.
Max was a Christmas present for TRex from hubby's parents two Christmases ago. TRex named him. TRex loved him. TRex called him "my buddy Max". Hubby cared for him though. Hubby loved that dog. Snappy dragged him ar... Continue reading ...

I snapped a few pics on New Years Eve and finally uploaded them to the computer. I'm a little disappointed in myself. I really could have procrastinated it until at least February. It's not like me to be so on top of things as to get NYE pics up by the middle of January!
I'm not very good when it comes to taking pics in the dark, especially with no flash. But, I had to document the awesome time that the kids had. I was super shocked that they both enjoyed it so much. Snappy, the little girl wh... Continue reading ...
Wow, two Fridays in a row? I've broken my own personal best for remember a meme other than Not Me Monday!
Sooooo, head over to Mama M.'s blog and see what this 5QF is all about and join in the fun!
Today's questions....
1. What's your "comfort food"? I don't know that I have just one. Probably chips and dip. I actually had to quit buying tortilla chips. I'd go through a bag in two or three days just snacking. Best dip? Cream cheese and salsa with a little taco seasoning. Yum-o!
I will say that at a certain point in my early twenties, before
children and my lovely hubby, before responsibilities,
before diaper changes and car seats, before hairbows and superheroes, before minivans and baby bottles, before caring about anything other than myself...
I probably would have l-o-v-e-d to be on The Real World. Or The Hills. I woulda torn those shows up, sister! I mean, the drama I could have caused woul... Continue reading ...
Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.
While cleaning a friend's house last week someone was attacked by a cat. A super sweet, cat loving, good friend was attacked by a demon cat. While minding her own business, putting Christmas present sheets on her friend's bed, this dear girl was attacked by an old-aged watchdog cat.
