I got so out of the habit of blogging that I totally forget about posting!
I wish I had all kinds of interesting things to report, but I really don't.
Bullet points seem to serve me well, so here goes:
*I am freaking loving this warm weather we are having. If you live in the cold areas of the US that actually experience seasons, I apologize...and you might want to stop reading. Today, it is supposed to get up to 77 degrees. The temperature is just...perfect. Not too hot, no chill in the air. If only it could be this way most of the time, I'd be so happy. I have a sinking feeling that this means we are in for a gnarly summer, though.
*I love my new car. We traded in the SUV for a sedan and I am enjoying it more than I thought I would. It's much easier for the girls to get in and out of, and the gas mileage is much better.
*I need to get off my butt and get started on the planning for the Scholastic Book Fair at my daughters school. We use it to raise book money for the teachers, and my goal is to double the profits from last year. *fingers crossed*
*I need new clothes. I'm tired of the same old jeans. I want some cargo pants and t-shirts, assuming this weather holds. Sandals, too.
*I am going to attempt to put together our new gas grill today, so that I can grill the chicken that I have in the fridge. I am ready to start grilling again. That totally defines Spring and Summer to me. Grilled chicken, steak, pork chops, veggies...mmmmm. Can't wait.
*I love Noggin. My kids watch it too much, but they come up with the most amazing things! My oldest daughter was explaining the importance of compost in relation to gardening yesterday. Works for me!!
Ok, I'm being beckoned to play chess by aforementioned daughter. Ta for now!!!

Randomness
*I love the rain.
*I want new sunglasses. I have an obsession with designer sunglasses, and I am eyeballing a pair of Chanel right now.
*I need to organize. Yes, still.
*I have too much makeup. I really need to purge about 2/3 of it. The question is: what to do with it when I purge it?
*I wanted to go to the swap meet today, but see my very first bullet point.
*My froat is hurty and I feel like a swallowed a wool sock.
*I had no idea that today was Superbowl Sunday until yesterday. I could not tell you who was playing, but I think one of the teams might start with a "P" and that some dude named Brady is on one of the teams. Am I even close?
*I am obsessed with handbags. Can't help it. Incidentally, don't want to help it. Everyone has their thing, handbags are mine.
*No longer having a joby-job does nothing to improve the circumstances of my last bullet point.
*I hate my hair. It's not the fault of my stylist. I am just never, ever happy with it. I think the problem is that I want it to be short again, but I have pushed through this far and I really like the option of a ponytail. So...

Love Thursday
It's been awhile since I've done one of these, I almost forget how!
Let's see...in no particular order:
*Being home again. I really enjoyed working, and I would definitely explore any opportunity that came my way, but for the moment, home is great. I need to step up my game and get back into cooking and a regular cleaning routine (which means I'm probably going to have to let go of my cleaners *heaving sobs*), but it's time for me to get this place back in shape. I need to purge and organize.
*My Hermes Herbag. I have been bitten by the orange bug, and since a Birkin is very much out of my price range right now (like, 8k out of my price range), I explored other options, and found this:

I have the black on black combo, and also the brown leather and red/orange combo. To 'splain, the bag has two interchangeable bottoms, and the black set has a larger and smaller canvas bottom. The red and orange bottoms are the same size. Love them!
*Rearranging my downstairs furniture. We live 95% of our awake time in one room of this place, and it was getting a little stale. Sooo, we shook things up a bit and really gave the front room a new look. I like it a lot, and the whole downstairs looks much more roomy.
*AppleTV. Just go buy one. Don't question me, just go.
*My new MacBook. My last computer bit the dust and my husband surprised me with a new one. So far, my only gripe is the sharp corners. It's not too comfortable to rest my hands on the keyboard, but that's about it. No biggie.
*Despite not yet being 100% certain on who I want to vote for, I am really enjoying this run up to the elections. For the first time in a looooong time, I see people who have something to say. This should be an interesting year!
And what are you loving?

Momma got needs...
I need new bras. Like, bad.
My existing ones just aren't cutting it no mo'.
My problem is that my boobs are just way too big. For those of you that thought bra sizes stopped at the DD's...yeah, not by a longshot.
I hover somewhere in the G/H size, which is just so much fun to shop for. And so *cheap*! Not.
The brand I am currently looking at is priced at about $75 per bra. I would like to pick up 4. My kids can eat ramen. Dry ramen, since the power will need to be shut off for a bit.
Jealous? Yeah, I figured as much.

I'm back!
Not that I ever wanted to be away in the first place, but now I have a lot more time...
I got laid off on Friday afternoon. :( And it's a legitimate lay-off, not fired. My accounts were downsized due to the product being removed from a particular retailer, so there wasn't really much of a job left to do.
I am sad, but also kind of relieved. On one hand, it was nice having a job-the money sure was nice! On the other hand, the stress was a lot more than I had anticipated.
I have no immediate plans to look for another job. Paul is going to be using the extra time to put into work, now that he isn't leaving early all the time to pick up the kids.
Bittersweet.
Hopefully this means that I will be around more, with more time to blog! I've missed it!

Say Goodnight, Robyn.
Goodnight Robyn.
All good things must come to an end, and I think it's time to say goodbye to blogging, at least for the time being.
This new job is kicking my butt, and I know I won't have the time to post with any regularity for a long while to come. Knowing that I am neglecting it with no official farewell is awkward, so I wanted to make an official post rather than just stop posting and have people wonder if I'd died.
So, no. I haven't died. Just really busy.
I will likely post from time to time, so put me on your feed if you want to be notified of the blessed event.
Otherwise...*blows kisses and waves* See you around. :)
