Isn’t it odd that I’m number THREE to mention wanting to see the inside of your fridge & freezer. It must be from all the times I’ve watched Cribs on MTV. The 2nd picture would be a shot of the gym in the garage. The 3rd picture would be a shot of both of your vehicles together. No wait!! Change the 2nd picture to the inside of your closet! You seem like such a clean person, I’d like to see how you organize your closet.
See yesterday’s entry for the inside of the fridge. We have two freezers, so here’s the big one we keep in the garage:
Those zillions of brown bags at the bottom of the freezer are bags of coffee. There’s usually a lot of chicken in here, but we just used up the rest of it. We have way more freezer space than we really need.
Here’s the freezer in the house:
You can see the big-ass version of this picture here.
I’m going with the shots of the gym instead of the two vehicles side-by-side, because Fred’s vehicle is at work with him and I just put up a picture of his vehicle yesterday. Just imagine a very dusty amethyst Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited (mine) sitting next to a [vehicle type deleted] (heh) and you’ll know what that picture would look like. The gym:
The gym set, and part of the benches. See the big-ass version of this picture here.
The elliptical trainer, the benches, and over by the freezer, the bicep/ tricep bench. See the big-ass version of this picture here.
And the closet:
I do NOT know what on earth makes you think I’m a clean person, Lori. Have I mentioned that I can go weeks without cleaning the bathroom? I hate cleaning. And the closet’s not terribly organized. To the right hanging off the long side of the closet are all my hangable clothes. The stuff on the end are Fred’s work shirts. To the left (though you can’t really see them) on the top are Fred’s t-shirts, and on the bottom are his jeans and shorts. Um, I swear that’s not as organized as it sounds…
Several people wanted to see a picture of the three of us together:
Yeah, it’s an old one. It’s the best you’re gonna get for now.
And Martha wanted to see my toes:
That crease by my ankle is because I just took my sock off to take this picture. That foot’s the one that was splashed by grease seven (!) years ago. Can you tell I’ve never had a pedicure?
More pictures in upcoming entries!

It’s starting to get cold. I’m sitting in front of my computer, and I am FREEZING, and the air is turned off, but I’m still sitting here shivering. I suppose that wearing a t-shirt when it’s in the mid-60s outside is not the way to go. I guess I’m going to need to go find the cardigan I wear all winter long, and put that on.
I need to do laundry, but I don’t wanna go upstairs.
I need to go to the post office, but I’m feeling lazy.
I’m thirsty, but I’m too lazy to go find my bottle of water.
I’m just going to sit here and whine about being cold and thirsty, I suppose. Sounds like a plan!
We watched Wife Swap last night and when the dreadlocked environmentalist burst into tears not once but many times and the popeyed freaky woman sobbed loudly and apologized to the stuffed animals and sobbed “I’m sorry… I’m so sorry…” we laughed our asses off. Wife Swap is far and away better than Trading Spouses – it’s clear that Trading Spouses is a half-assed knockoff of Wife Swap.
I’ve started cross-stitching again after many months of not cross-stitching at all. Two years ago I told the spud that if she chose a cross-stitch kit out of a catalog, I’d order it and cross-stitch it for her. I assumed she’d choose a kitty picture or something like that. Instead, she chose a picture of the Statue of Liberty with an American flag behind it, and “United We Stand” above it. Not what I expected, I’ll tell you that much. It’s not a huge picture, but the Statue of Liberty is taking forever to do, and it’s boring as hell. I guess next time I’ll think before I make an offer like that!
Okay, I’m going to call this an entry. They can’t all be award-winners, folks. Sorry ’bout that. Oh, wait – no I’m not!
Y’all have a good weekend.

Spanky’s so cuuuuuuuuute…….he looks kitten-ish in that picture.
Please remind me I look like an idiot with my head shaved, should I ever want to do it again.
Hey rundmc, if you read these comments, I tried on the red shorts last night in your honor. 🙂
With a spandex shirt, even. Nothing to put your ego back in check like loose skin and spandex.
It’s funny–the spud and Fred share a lot of facial features in that picture of the three of you. You are truly a family.
I’ve seen that chart that you’re stitching. That will become an heirloom once it’s finished. I’m sure the Spud will love it!! Good luck.
OK, I missed the red shorts thing. What red shorts is everyone clamoring to see?
Just wanted to let you know Robin if you ever wanted to be on one of these shows pick Trading Spouses, they get money. Wife Swap you get no money.
okay let’s play quess the season…Robin is wearing a sweater, Fred is wearing shorts and the spud is wearing short sleeves and pants. Everyone guess the season…..
I LOVE the sweater you are wearing in that family photo. And really, could anyone mistake the Spud for being anyone but your daughter?
Spanky is CUTE! Just this morning there was a posting in our breakroom that someone’s kittens were ready for homes. 3 little boy kittens…all orange and red! So cute!
Robyn, I can’t believe how grown up the Spud is looks! 🙂 Oh, and I love your sweater too.
At the end of Wife Swap when the bug-eyed tree hugger heard that her dogs were OUTSIDE??? And started sobbing to her husband that they had to go get the dogs inside right away??? Oh, dear lord, I almost peed my pants, I laughed so hard! And she was so mad about the way the other wife treated her daughter. Yeah, heaven forbid someone tries to teach your kid a few MANNERS!!! Good show!
Thanks, you guys – I lurve that sweater and usually wear it every year to either Christmas or Thanksgiving. Heh.
Linda – when the kid of the tree hugger said something about “That devil woman” who was trying to make her – gasp! – do chores, and her eyes were all bugged out, I laughed, too. Lordy.
Oh my god, you have the cutest toes ever! Hang ten feet! 🙂
What is the big secret with the car that Fred drives? We’ve seen your house,the car you used to have,Robyn’s car,your street,your backyard,and you’ve even told us many times..if we are at such and such event or vacation spot..to come up to you.We could see your car that way..I am not being rude,I just don’t get it! lol
Spanky for president!!!!
Oooh, the worst thing about that environmentalist woman was that after she burst into tears and apologized to and prayed for the stuffed animals, she made chicken for dinner.
Ehm, what is that thing in the freezer that says “Butterball”?
Your gym thingy looks amazingly like the gym thingy in The Sims. Did you know that you can practically kill a Sim by making him work out forever? (Not that I would do that.)
Yay! Spanky!!!!!
Thankyouthankyouthankyou for the Tubby Tidings! Yes, I do think your Mehrry Christmas thing would be cute.
Now, if my new credit card would only get here, I could go shopping! It expired in Sept. and I didn’t get the new one, so I had to call and bitch, and it is on it’s way….I was paranoid there for a moment, but it was truly an oversight (one that probably saved me a ton of bucks as every store in town is having sales lately)
Thanks again
About Wife Swap – could they have picked two more EXTREME examples of “Redneck” and “Tree Huggers”? I don’t know who annoyed me more — the dopey redneck dude with his Cunfedderit flag and dead animals or that wacko chick who prayed over the dead animals. Where do they find these people???
C.
P.S.: Spanky is still my favorite!
That’s such a cute family picture of you guys. We haven’t been in a picture “with ” the kids since the oldestone was 8!
I can’t believe the Spud is so grown up !
By the way what on earth did Fred do to his hair?
lol
Heh – guys, that picture of the three of us is from Thanksgiving 2001. Bwah!
Ingunn – that’s turkey Kielbasa sausage. We use it when we make red beans and rice.
Elle – of course you wouldn’t. That would be Sims abuse! 😉
Wife Swap is my favorite guilty pleasure this season, and this weeks segment was hysterical. I have to admit that last night I found the spot on my tape where she apologizes to the deer head and then dissolves in sobs, and ran it over and over about 5 times and laughed myself sick.
“I’m sooo-rrry!”. Bwahahahahaha!!!!!!
I also could not believe the complete and total meltdown that she had when she was told that her dogs were outside. She shrieked like a 3 year old. What the hell was with that?
I think the most unsettling thing of all though, was how she talked about their apparently very active sex life. Just the thought of those two freaks…..eeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
I don’t know where they manage to find these people (Jerry Springer Show rejects?), but I sure hope they keep ’em comin’. Hee!
I love Wife Swap! It’s a freakin train wreck! hehe Have you watched Desparate Wives? I didn’t think I would like it… and lo and behold I did! They are repeating the first show tonight. (Sat)
I’m with Lisa. In that photo, The Spud resembles Fred very strongly. In fact, I had to look twice at it. Check out their eyes and the shape of their faces. Fred could easily pass as her bio Dad, no questions asked.
P.S. Nice picture of your family! What? No kitties?!
Robyn! Ha ha – check this out:

Not related to anything in your journal but I thought you’d get a kick out of it and I’m too lazy to email. 🙂
John,
I don’t think Fred is withholding his car info because he’s worried or anything. I think he is just doing it to mess with us. I mean personally, I wouldn’t have cared about what kind of car he has, but since he’s withholding it, I’m all kinds of curious now. I think he’s enjoying reading abour our frustration in trying to figure it out.
P.S. I think it’s a VW Touareg ;-P
I have to agree with Elena and Lisa. The spud resembles Fred.
I wore my Tubby baseball jersey to work friday. Everyone thought he was a polar bear! (until i pointed out to them that he was a cat) How funny!
That’s a cute kitty pic! And that’s a great pic of the three of you, no matter how old it is. How’s the bus thing going? I know she’s on break now…
