Okay, we were out late last night, so instead of doing a full-blown entry today, I’m just going to toss up some pictures of the event we attended Sunday night (which I stole from the web site of the radio station that sponsored the event) with captions, and I’ll do a full-blown recap on Thursday. I’m headed home in a few hours (this was, obviously, a very quick trip), and my flight up here to Pennsylvania went so well and smoothly that I’m 93.8% sure that I’ll end up spending the night in Dulles tonight. Dulles loves me dearly and always wants me to spend the night.
The event, by the way, was Knock Out Cancer, sponsored by Pittsburgh’s KISS 96.1.
Yes, I am dressed up (for me) and yes, I am wearing makeup. Try not to fall over from the shock.
My thoughtful look.
Me and my BFF Teresa Giudice (oh yeah, and Nance’s Mom Shirley.)
“THAT IS AN EXCELLENT POINT, TERESA GIUDICE. I NEVER THOUGHT OF IT THAT WAY.”
Shirley and I were the only ones in the VIP room that thought to bring books with us for signing. The other VIPs were like “That’s so smart! We should have done that!”
Supervising the signing of the books.
“That is not how you spell my name, Teresa Giudice, but that is A-OK!” (Yes, I spelled it for her. We are now such close friends that she can call me Robin instead of the correct Robyn, and it’s FINE.)
“HA HA HA I AM JUST STANDING HERE WITH MY BFF TERESA GIUDICE, YOU STAY OVER THERE, PEONS.”
Giving my BFF Teresa Giudice a loving look.
“I KNOW, RIGHT, TERESA GIUDICE? HA HA HA!”
::BLINDED BY THE BLING OF TERESA GIUDICE’S RING::
“YOU ARE SO RIGHT, TERESA GIUDICE. RIGHT ON, SISTER.”
::considering::
“I WONDER IF TERESA GIUDICE IS GOING TO GIVE ME A HUG?” (Oh yes, she did.)
Listening attentively.
“HA HA HA HA HA YOU SAID IT, SISTER! HA! HA! HA!” (slightly maniacal Robyn is slightly maniacal.)
More supervising of the signing, whilst touching my chin.
“MAKE EYE CONTACT WITH ME, TERESA GIUDICE, I AM SMILING AT YOU!”
And that’s it – though of course I have plenty of pictures of my own (from Nance’s camera, but pictures she’s gonna let me share ’cause she’s nice like that) that I’ll post on Thursday, along with details of the whole trip.
Wish me happy travels! (Now wish me happy travels FOR REAL. I don’t want to spend the night in Dulles, damnit.)
For those who asked:
Everett did not go to Petsmart on Friday with the rest of the Peppers because there were only two cages available, and three kittens of the Peppers’ size cannot fit in one cage. When one of the other Peppers is adopted, Everett will go to Petsmart to fill the space they left behind.
Try to relax, Chuckles.
Seriously.
You make me so tense.
Bug watchin’.
Patty was following Jake down the hall, trying to rub against him, and he stopped and turned around and looked at me, like “Make her stop.”
SPANKY!
“What you want?”
Nevermind. Go back to sleep.
“::sigh::”

2000: In other words, Robyn is a total spaz about her eyes, comprende?
1999: On the way into work, and the whole time I worked today, I reconsidered that reconsideration.
Have a safe trip home, Robyn!
It’s AWESOME that you attended this event. Was it about cancer in general or breast cancer?
Crossing fingers and toes for the Peppers to get adopted fast. 🙂
Dahling, you look simply GORGEOUS!
I second that!
Looking GOOD, Robyn!!
No wonder you were touching your chin!! I love it, too!!!! You are looking SO good!!
😀
I just KNEW Everett was going to Nance….oh well. Apparently I wouldn’t make a very good Private Eye.
Here’s hoping for some Thanksgiving adoptions at Petsmart!
Nance is so not getting any more cats from AL! Maddy would KILL.ME.DEAD.
Sounds like a fun trip. So, you have to tell me, is her hair real??? Her part looks to be an inch away from her scalp. We won’t bring up the lack of forehead.
Your captions crack me up and wow, you do look great!
Teresa is kind of creepy. Sorry, just saying. You can still love and adore her, but I think I would prefer to see spider pics.
Safe and easy travel wishes being sent your way!
Beautiful photos of you! You look so pretty and – seriously – like you’re 28 years old, max. Jealous!
I’m with Gina on the rather look at spiders than Teresa thing but different strokes…
You look fabulous, Robyn. Your face and arms look wonderful and I love your glamorous long earings.
Hope your trip back goes off w/o a hitch!
Hope you have a quiet, uneventful trip home. Where’s Nance at in the pictures? Looks like you had fun.
I don’t even know who this Teresa is. Is she a Kardashian?
Anyhow, I was just going to say ,your neck and chin line look awesome.(as far as I know ,pics have not yet been posted of the revision)
I’ve been reading your blog since the olden days and I can not ever recall seeing you all made up .You do look mav’alous dah’link!
she is a Housewife of New Jersey, yo.
You look Mahhhhvelous! You were saying that no one else would probably see a difference but I think your chin and neck area looks awesome! And the dangly, glam earrings only made your neck look longer. 🙂 And I hate Dulles too. Scott can’t stand flying through there and neither can an Austin friend of mine who goes through there almost weekly. Good luck on your return flight!!
Robyn – if, by some stroke of crappy luck, you end up stuck at Dulles, drop me an email or tweet at me, and I will come rescue you! I’m not too far from that “charming” airport.
I feel like a dork – but it’s kind of weird seeing you out with other people. Like out and about IN PUBLIC. Your pics are usually just you. You like so much younger in these pictures than in any others. You should go out in public more often. 🙂
Aimee’s comment CRACKED.ME.UP. Because, right? How often do we see Robyn out and about, socializing, let alone with a friggin’ celebrity! Even though it was Gorilla-Head Teresa Guidice. I’m sorry, but she just crawls up the back of my neck. But I digress…you look bee-yutiful! Truly! And I can’t believe it took somebody else’s comment for me to remember to look at your neck. The wattle is g-o-n-e, GONE!! (Not that I ever noticed…I just know it bothered you to no end.)
Oh, and because I love you…you simply must try PW’s recipe for pork roast w/apples and onions. It was FABULOUS. Steve almost made himself sick, he ate so much!
I love your picture commentary. It’s funny because it’s true! And you are looking fabulous!
(I’ll admit I did not know who TERESA GIUDICE was. When you said she was your BFF I was like: “Why haven’t I heard of this woman before! I’ve read Bitchypoo since 2005 and even went back to the beginning and read every day since 1999. I thought I knew Bitchypoo!” Huff. But then I realized that your relationship with TERESA GIUDICE is like a delicate flower, that should be sheltered from the wind. Thank you for sharing it with us.)
=P
OMG, OMG, OMG!!! Oh My God! You were that close to Teresa! I’m jealous. Was she bitchy? Was she nice? Was she gorgeous? Was she goofy? Was she stupid? You have got to give a detailed entry on your meeting. Now I know why Nance was posing like a RH. Looks like you had fun.
Fantastic pictures, especially the one you captioned “Right on, sister!” You look really good.
