Not Me Monday

February 1, 2010
This blog carnival was started by MckMama. Check out her blog to see what everyone else has not been up to.




Monday again? Seems like we just had one of these last week.

So, I am not being showcased today on the blog of the Mom-Stuff Community.

How crazy is that?

No. I mean it.

Are they crazy?

Really though. I'm super flattered. The Mom-Stuff community is really cool and has tons of great (and free- my favorite price) resources for moms. The blog feature about me is here. They'll be doing different posts about my blog all week long. Check out the community and the blog!


Ahem...I am NOT going a little Lost crazy. I have not started dissecting episodes from the first season. That would be nutso. I'm certainly not that much of a Lost-ie. I mean, it's not like I started a Lost meme or something...um...


Remember my tingly feeling? Yeah, well, that new phone was supposed to be here early last week. I did not have to spend an hour calling and recalling my cell carrier on Saturday. I did not get super frustrated and hang up several times.

Pffftt.

I wouldn't do that.

I am extremely calm and collected when on the phone with idiots. It wouldn't bother me at all if someone who worked for the customer service department didn't understand what it meant when I said "What's the policy on that". Really, I would so not clench my fists and grit my teeth when she responded "Policy? What do you mean?"


<deep breath>

 <exhale>

Luckily, at some point, I was able to get in touch with the one semi-educated person they have working there. Got the shipping kinks taken care of. I'm not imagining sitting by the front window like an anxious child to wait on the FedEx guy.




 

Lostiness

January 30, 2010


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 ...

Potato Woes

January 28, 2010
Note to self...

It's time that a decision really must be made.

A. Stop buying potatoes.

B. Stop forgetting if you have potatoes and buying more.

3. Start throwing out the old potatoes.

Because

this

is

freakin'

scary....




I don't want to be scared to put my hand in the potato bin.

So, self, get with it.

Speechless...

January 26, 2010
...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...

Everclear Rocks the House

January 24, 2010
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 ...

That Tingly Feeling

January 22, 2010
Sometimes

when I'm on the phone

I feel this little tingle in the finger of the hand that is holding the phone to my head.

Is it a nervous tick?

Something from the terrible phone radiation that is most surely giving me a tumor?

The Universe's way of telling me I'm talking on the phone too much?

Nah.

It's probably the fact that this nice little hole in the screen allows my phone's innards to actually shock me while I'm using it.


Nice.

Uptown.

Oh, and if I put my phone in my pocket I have to make sure i...

Favorite Things - Part One

January 20, 2010
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)...

I Heart My Tattoos

January 19, 2010
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 ...

Sunshine, Crazies, Lizards, Oh My!

January 18, 2010
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!


Oh, she's too sassy for her own good!


They were feeding off each other's insanity.


I love this...
