Not Me Monday

First, let me remind everyone that there are some great giveaways that are ending today on the Giveaway Page of the Lolidots blog so, click over and check them out! There are also three new ones starting later today!

On to the Monday festivities...

Not Me Monday was started by MckMama. Are you feeling guilty for some of the insane and inevitable things that happen in our lives? Head over to her blog and join in the fun blog hop and see what everyone else has NOT been up to!





I did not head out to the post office last week in my pajamas. Oh sure, that's not too bad, especially since we live in Mayberry. But, I certainly did not make the conscious decision to wear my pajamas only to go and put on makeup. My egocentricity (that's a word) isn't that skewed.

It was not me pulling white freakin' hair out of my head last week. Really? White hair? That pact with the devil is lookin' pretty good right now.

It was not me and hubby who spent our Saturday moving out old furniture, moving in new furniture and rearranging! It's totally not me who gets all heart pounding excited over rearranging. Not me going crazy that now that the furniture is moved, the pictures on the walls look weird and really need to be moved. I'm not weird like that. Also totally not thinking about rearranging more today. Totally not.

It was not me who sat in the living room for the entire Superbowl and didn't know who was winning. I was totally paying attention and not taking pics or playing on the computer. We did have fun though! Low key kind of fun.

Snappy borrowed my Saints jersey.


Hubby's youngest brother came over and hung out. The kids love him.




Little bit of indoor football.



A friend of my brother-in-law came by as well. It was not my son that was totally smitten.


Not me cringing about what is in store for us with this girl crazy TRex. Oy vey!
 

5 Question Friday...

February 5, 2010
Alright, it's Friday!

First, be sure to check out the Mom-Stuff Community Blog. They featured Lolidots all week and I can't thank them enough for all their kind words about me and my bliggity-blog!

Now, on to Mama M. and her rockin' Friday meme! Head over to My Little Life and play along because it's time for 5 Question Friday!


Today's questions...

1. What are you most afraid of?

2. Do you use a flat iron or curling iron?

3. Hands-free or phone to the ear?

4. Do you have a matching bedroom set?

5. D...

Long day ending in awards...

February 4, 2010
Alright, it's been a whacked out day. I meant to do this award post earlier today but, life got in the way. It's Livestock Show time around here. I'm not sure if this is a southern thing or a Texas thing but, it consists of kids showing livestock and people buying them. That's the basic gist of it. Not super exciting but, we've got nieces and nephews showing animals, aunts and uncles who are a big part of it and our kids love to go watch. So, hubby took a half day and was on his way to the sh...

Lostapalooza

February 3, 2010


Phew!


Big sighs in the house last night.

Sighs of relief. I was convinced that the power would go out, the tv would go out, something would interrupt the night of tv that I had waited for so long to watch.

Sighs of brief understanding.

Sighs of frustration and total incomprehension as the new season of Lost got underway and showed viewers that we know nothing!



I'm not sure where to even begin. I'll premise this by saying that I have no clue what will happen. I may make some guesses and pose some ...

Mawwaige is what bwings us togevah today...

February 2, 2010
**First, let me say that if you don't understand the title of this post then I demand you go out and rent (or totally just buy) The Princess Bride.


I was going to do another post about Lost, what with it being D-Day and all. Then I thought about my dear readers who maybe are not counting down the actual minutes to the show tonight. With that and the thought of all the Lost posts that will inevitably appear once the show starts, I got the ol' noodle crankin' and am going to take a crack at som...

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 differe...

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...
