Look who’s here!
Her flight left Rhode Island over an hour late yesterday morning, meaning that she didn’t make her connecting flight in Charlotte. Luckily, they were able to get her on a later flight out of Charlotte, so she eventually arrived about four hours later than she originally was supposed to. Not too bad, really.
The worst part was that due to lack of sleep the night before and awful turbulence from Providence to Charlotte, she was sick on the plane and felt awful while she was waiting to board in Charlotte. By the time she got here, she felt fine, though. We went directly to the T-Mobile store to get her Christmas present – a G1 phone! – and then we went to Ruby Tuesday for dinner.
That G1 is SUPER cool. I really really really want one – but Fred really really really thinks I don’t “need” one. What does NEED have to do with it, I ask you?!
I’m sure he’s going to go buy me one and surprise me with it tomorrow for my birthday.
(NOT.)
Look what I found on my memory stick! It’s Lem, snuggled up to Spanky (who’s pretending that Lem doesn’t exist).

Yeah! Spud!
The Spud!!! Yay!!! I’m bursting with pride FOR you!
She looks soooo much like her mama.
Fred should totally buy you the G1…..
Hope ya’ll have a great visit! I was thinking when I saw that second picture that the Spud sure looks a lot like you.
SPUD!!!
She looks so grown up! She also looks more like you than I remember which is definitely a compliment to you both.
Enjoy your visit. That’s a great birthday present!!!
YAY! The spud!
Those phones are wicked cool, I just got a Blackberry Storm. Need? P’shaw on need. WANT!
Can I ask you something about eggs? No? Well, I’ma gonna ask anyways.
My brother raises his own chickens, much the same way you guys do. As such, we have an abundance of eggs. I prefer to hard boil a dozen or so, every time he brings them, and honestly? They don’t hard boil as nicely as store bought eggs. Do I need to let them age a bit? Or boil them differently? I have a carton of both store bought and home grown and the home grown are probably twice as hard to peel, as the store bought. Help?
Have a great visit with The Spud!!
Hi Spud! Love the red hair! Have a great visit at Crooked Acres.
Hi D —
Its been like forever since we saw hide nor hair of you 🙂 so glad that you are visiting your Mom and Fred. What do you think of all the chickens??????
Have a great time – all of you!
What a great birthday present – the Spud! I hope you all have lots of fun together.
Yay! Have a great visit.
Happy day before your birthday!
Hope you and Spud have a lovely visit together 🙂 Good old Spanky, he’s a gentleman.
What’s the spud think of the chicken population & the 2 new furry fluffy members of the outside animals?
Aww, she came to visit you on your birthday. What a great present.
Happy Birthday,
Should we all go and pester Fred to get you the G1? We will you know.
I think we have the same color of nail polish on!
Your best gift ever! Great to see Spud – she gets prettier every time. Have an awesome time together and a great birthday!!
Happy Birthday!
Quick question for Friday…. I seem to have to train my cat to use anything we get her – toys, the scratching tower, the bigger scratching tower – and now she just behaves as if the scratching towers are treat manufacturing ladders to get to the top of the bookshelf and will stare you down with het once she gets onto the tower until you go and get her some damn treats already. Then she will lurve all over you. When she’s done eating treats, I mean. She spends most of her nap time sprawled out on the digital cable box, which although cute, is a habit I’d kind of like to break. It’s a 4 year old habit, and at my fiance’s suggestion, I’m just now getting around to considering that it may be bad for the cable box. So, now, we want to get her a cat bed or two that she’ll use. All of this ridiculous amount of information is to say… Is there a trick at all for getting stubborn cats to actually use cat beds? Maybe something that doesn’t require treats. Are there particular types of beds that you would recommend getting over other types? Place to put said beds that attract the most use?
Thanks!
i’m so happy that your baby is there..
have a wonderful visit..
Have a fantastic birthday with your gorgeous daughter who does look an awful lot like you.
When the Spud’s picture popped up on my computer screen, I couldn’t help but smile, and I don’t even know you (or her)!
My husband got the G1 for Christmas. (I’m not a phone geek, so I settled for the free-with-contract phone.) It’s a cool phone which you totally deserve for your birthday. 😉
Happy Birthday!
Great to see the Spud again! I am looking forward to hearing the stories of your adventures together! How long is she staying?
If she got the phone there, won’t she have an Alabama phone number? or maybe it doesn’t matter, re: rates, long distance, etc??
Happy birthday! I was going to ask the same thing about the Spud and the new critters. Was she surprised? What a nice birthday bonus for you to have her home.
I’m waiting to see what you say about the cat beds. Our two spoiled brats will never use them. Of course if they got their furry butts out of the kitchen someone might cook chicken on the GF grill and they would lose 30 seconds of prime time of staring at it.
Happy Birthday Robyn! Bet you are so loving having the spud around. Could she do a guest post?? Or say Hi?
Happy Birthday, Robyn! You are a funny, talented woman and we all love ya!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!
Have a wonderful birthday! What a treat to have your daughter visiting. Hope you all enjoy those great looking birthday cakes you always get! I vote for your husband getting you that phone too! We should all gang up on him on his website till he caves!
Hi Spud! That’s a nice birthday present to you.
Happy Birthday Robyn! Enjoy!!!
Happy Birthday Robyn. Hope you enjoy your daughter’s visit hugely. Have fun!
Happy Birthday! Tell Fred that the G1 is so seriously cool you just may die if you don’t get one. At least that’s what I told Hubs. It doesn’t seem to work on him, but maybe it will on Fred! 🙂
Have a great birthday!!!
