faaaaaaaaamous? (Scroll down to the March 2nd entry) You all have to refer to me as “Journaler and (soon-to-be-published) AUTHOR Ethan Hawke Robyn And3rson” from now on. I insist! Of course, the interesting question is, how do I explain this whole blog/ journal thing to my mother. Maybe I should just say nothing, and when the book turns out to be a runaway best seller and we’re all on Oprah I’ll make sure she doesn’t watch that episode. Oh! Or I’ll just fake my way through! “A bunch of women? On Oprah? Really? And they have what? What on EARTH are “BLOGS”, Mom? Huh. And she looked just like me, and when Oprah addressed her, she laughed goonily and drooled out the side of her mouth? Well, lord KNOWS it wasn’t me, I’d never do THAT, I’m FAR too classy. They say everyone has a twin, don’t they? What? She has the same NAME as me? That’s so odd! Gotta go! Bye!”

I guess now would be a good time to tell y’all that I’ve restarted OneFatBitchypoo in another location.

Judging by the fact that I’ve seen no fewer than five dead possums laying by the side of the road in the past two days, it must be Spring. Also, it’s 60 degrees outside right now – it hasn’t even had a chance to get as warm as it will today! – and they’re saying it may get as high as 80 by Friday. This is absolutely the time of year when I am SO glad that I live in the south. Daffodils are starting to bloom – I even have one ready to bloom in my back yard! For some reason, the daffodils in my back yard are a little slower than those growing in other yards. There’s a big clump of daffodils in a deserted plot about a half mile from here, and every time I drive by, I think about stopping and picking them. Happy little daffodils. They make me happy just to see their sunny little faces!

You know, for a long time I liked James Patterson’s books, but it seems like in the last few years he just kind of lost his shit and started putting out a book every six weeks. He’s got the Alex Cross series, he’s got the Women’s Murder Club series, and he’s got random other books that aren’t part of a series. He needs to slow the fuck down, because every time I turn around, there’s another book by him coming out. I’ve stopped reading him because it’s overwhelming. I mean, I hate the fact that I have to wait a year between Stephanie Plum books, but part of the enjoyment of the book is that year of anticipation. Speaking of authors worth reading, I’ve devoured every book in Margaret Maron’s Deborah Knott series, and I highly recommend them.

Okay, I have three episodes of China Beach burning a hole in my DVR, so I think I’m going to go watch them. Have I mentioned that I adore my DVR?

  2. Très cool! Can’t wait to get my chubby little fingers on that book! I wish I could write a book. That would be neat.

  4. Congratulations! It sounds like a great project! Can’t wait to buy it.
    I wonder if you mind sharing which elliptical trainer you decided to purchase. I hate to bug you with this question here but you don’t take emails at OFB. I ask because I know that you and Fred research thoroughly. I love to work out on ellipticals and definitely want to know which one kicked your butt like that.

  5. You know I will be among the first in line too! I will ceremoniously put it next to Fred’s! 😉 (of course I will demand an autographed copy also) 🙂
    Love the cute kitty closeup! I never noticed Spot’s little freckles before. Cute. When I was little I had a kitty with a big cluster of them on the underside of the nose. I wanted to name him Booger but my Mom wouldn’t let me. Heh.

  7. Around here it’s been dead skunks on the road. Blech. The other day I saw a teeny tiny baby one, which was sad even though I’m no fan of skunks.
    And there has *got* to be something to the origin of that “mad as a March hare” saying, because every year around this time, I start seeing kamikaze rabbits tearing around. Last night I was riding in the car with my hubby, and we ended up leaving skid marks on the pavement and a cloud of foul-smelling smoke in an effort (successful, I’m guessing, because there was no dead rabbit to be found) not to run over the cute lil bunny rabbit that tried to fling itself under out tires.

  10. Robyn! That is so cool! I just love reading your blog, and I’m so glad that others will have the opportunity as well!

  12. WHERE are you watching China Beach??? Argh! It must be one of those channels I don’t get!!!!

  13. Thanks so much for bringing OFB back!!! I’ve missed that terribly! Good luck with it!!

  14. Big Congrats! I cant wait to read it 🙂
    oh and you think dead possums are bad… in Oklahoma we are dealing with dead skunks everywhere. I have a 20 drive to work on the highway and I counted 17 dead skunks yesterday.. the smell is not a pretty one! LOL

  15. Robin, I have missed onefatbitchypoo so much!!! I’m glad your back!! I sometimes type it in hoping to see that you had restarted it, but to no avail. Glad to see your back!!!
