Seriously Eve...

WHY did you eat that apple???

Because of you, one day I am just fine then the next day I'm a moody lunatic who would attack ANYONE for a piece of chocolate.

I wonder what would have happened if Eve hadn't ate that apple?

Hmmmmmm................

To this day, would everyone be walking around naked? Driving cars, eating at restaraunts, standing in line at the grocery stores NAKED?

Ewwwwww.

Anyway, thank you Eve for disobeying God. Because now, women are punished for two weeks each month. I know this is an extremely MINOR pittance compared to what Christ had to endure however, it still sucks having to buy Advil by the case at Costco.

Adam, couldn't you have kept her on a leash or something? Sheesh.

If You're Reading This, Then:

*You're shocked
*You've been wondering if I was still alive
*You're mad at me for completely deserting my blog for the last 7 months
* You don't really care
*You've deleted me from your blog rolls, readers, etc and really don't care
*You've gone to my brother's blog to ask where I've been but since he hasn't written anything in the last four months, you never got an answer so you REALLY don't care

This has been a very strange year for me. Without getting into too much detail, it's been odd. I think the musical I was in last December completely threw me off my bloggy schedule. It took me all of Jan/Feb to recover and get back into our regularly scheduled family program, then I went through some of the I-won't-get-into-detail-things that threw me for another loop.

At that point, I just didn't feel like writing. So I didn't. So I got lazy and wrote much smaller versions of my usually long-winded brainfart thoughts on facebook instead.

After that I just thought I'd see how long this blog drought would last.

I think I'm over it now. I miss my blog. I miss writing about whatever trivial aspect of my life is floating around in my head.

Thank goodness for God and his faithfulness. Without Him, I'd be in a yucky place that would be hard to get out of.

Don't get me wrong. I was not in a state of depression, drowning my sorrows in bottles of wine while laying on the floor watching American Idol all year..well, maybe the American Idol part.

My mind just took a vacation from writing long sentences while posting pictures simutaneously.

Stay tuned.

What Robin Does During Weds Night Service

Then Vs. Now

When we first got married:

Paul: I'm leaving for work baby, I'll miss you...SMOOOOCH! Lots of hugs...
Me: Bye baby, be careful! Have a great day! I love you!
Both: We hug again, grin, more kisses, laugh..he leaves

Now:

Paul: Ok, I'm leavin. Bye.
Me: Bye.
Both: Quick kiss
Paul: Schnoz he says while looking at my nose then walks away
Me: Buttless Wonder I say while watching him walk away
Paul: Turns around Hey, don't be so hard on yourself.
Me: yada yada yada..roll eyes and walks back into the closet..

The Affair Continues

Yes, my love affair with Facebook continues at my blog's expense. I am sorry dear readers. Please do not foresake me. I love you. I make no promises to leave FB but instead promise to have a relationship with you both.

Where have I been since last we spoke? Out of my mind really. I have no other excuse.

I miss my blog. I need to update it. Like my profile picture. Really, that's at least a year old. My hair isn't even that color any more. I have more nose hair too. so out with the old, in with the new. And a new family picture. And to get back to reading my favorite blogs again, especially the bitchy ones, I like those. Oh and my brother's too. I forgot I had one you know...a brother that is.

That's the crap that facebook does to you. It clouds the mind. Makes you forget about family..until you make them join...like your dad...and MAYBE your brother if he gets off his butt and stops doing so many plays and gets his priorities straight and starts obsessing about facebook like his little sister does..

The Facebook Affair...

I am obsessed with Facebook. These updates seemed funny at the time. Hmmm. Now, not so much.

If you are OCD, start from the bottom and scroll up to view chronologically. I'll forgive you.

Adult Diapers Suck Brick....

I'm sitting here reading a couple of my favorite blogs, listening to a song that has no business making me tear up but is, drinking wine, and wondering why I cannot seem to straighten out my dazed and confused state of mind that decided to invite itself to my head on January 1 of this year. Since I can't figure it out, here are my un-educated guesses. My brain, apparently, is writing checks my brain can't cash.

1) My brain is expanding exponentially. Although I have an unusually large head for someone my size, my brain doesn't know that, so it's squeezing all the intelligence out of me and keeping just the fat stored up...just like every other part of my body. Fudge.

2) I have this unusual talent of attracting every joe smoe and their mother to confide in me about their personal problems. In years past, I could listen AND give great advice while mentally writing a to-list, solving every side of a rubik's cube, and splitting the atom. Now? Anything pertinent that I need to do leaks out every upper body orifice so I can have enough brain cells to listen, blink, nod a few times then give some sort of acknowledgement that sounds intelligent and non-cavewoman like. The end result is nothing in my life gets done and I want a snack.

3) Wine. It may be good for my heart but it's still an evil evil monkey.

4) Facebook is a close 2nd to #3...minus the monkey part...add in a nosy, vicious pitbull instead.

5) My gray hairs that are suddenly showing up suck. I am in a mental battle with my scalp right now to stop it's evil-doing. This is sucking any extra intelligence out of me thus me regressing to about a 17 year old maturity level. Seriously. Example-I forced my husband to pull over the other night so I could ding-dong ditch our friend's house. I made Hunter go with me..then we whispered (argued) loudly at the door over who was gonna get to ring the doorbell. When we got home our phone was ringing. It was their 10 year old daughter. When accused, I lied. No one said I couldn't lie to OTHER peoples' kids. All this in front of my visiting father-in-law.

6) I'm turning 40 this year. My brain is giving me a taste of the diminished functionality to come...in addition to the eventual drooling, diapers, and asking each of my children who the they are and why they're in my house. This is what I have to look forward to. THAT, gray hair, and messing my pants. fabulous.

7) I have no cell phone. Let me rephrase that. I have NO iPHONE. I've been begging him to come back to me. Promises to clean his face more often and put his annoying gel cover back on are unanswered. He now resides in Pahrump, NV with some guy who stole him from me while I was face-first in the snow cursing myself for wiping out on a simple run. This has put me into a downward spiral that is un-ending. Plus I have been banned from getting a new one..I think the cold and unfeeling "Good luck with your new Motorola Razor" from Paul was what threw me over the edge. My heart continues to break..The downward spiraling continues.

I just hope #6 happens to me before the husband because even though I said 'for better or for worse' I doubt changing an adult diaper was in the original job description. Sorry you iPhone hater babe, you're on your own. I'll hire you a hot nurse, k?
