Happy Saturday, All!
I'm so glad we have a fresh crop of Robcrack to tide us over until April 22!!
Don't you all feel rejuvenated? Good God! That man is GORGEOUS!!!
Sonny Boy is using my laptop to work on his online Health class (required for graduation – if you take both music and a language, there is no room on the schedule for the one year of health and the one year of PhyEd required. Minneapolis Public Schools offers both courses online and this is the last quarter he has to finish!) Anyway, I’m on the horrible dinosaur computer and it is driving me nuts! I’ve done some writing today and that works out OK, but when I have to go back and forth between windows and links, it is very frustrating. Therefore, I haven't seen the MTV Rob interview yet!
Update on Maureen’s journey into Twilight Obsession – I just delivered my paperback copy of Eclipse and I’m sure she’ll be up late with that! She loves the books! YEAH!! She’s seen all three movies and gets as upset as we do with certain parts that deviate from the books. I also gave her my printed out copy of Dark Side of the Moon to read. She’s read The Book that Shall Not be Named and loved it.
Now on to three days worth of posts -
Dawn - I’m sorry you’re having so much trouble with your mom. I hope the surprise party went well for your hubs this weekend. How did you do the surprise part?
Marielle – So sorry about your wardrobe malfunction on St. Paddy’s day. What rotten luck! At least you wore green the day before. Wow – I had no idea you did translation for your job. That’s just part of what you do, though, right? What a devoted girlfriend you are – forfeiting a trip to the Irish Pub on St. Patrick’s day to stay home with your sweetie!! Awww! That was an awesome screencap of Rob’s entrance. He looks so slim, don’t you think? Has he lost weight? I want to feed him! That’s great that you’ll be having nice weather all next week!
Raine – I’m so glad to hear your mom’s check up went well and that the test results are good. My mom was testing out as “pre-diabetic” so she put herself on a strict low carb diet. She’s very healthy at 80. I’m thinking of at least trying to understand how Twitter works. It’s all part of my effort not to get old before my time. Lex withdrawl? Well, I guess I was just too busy and too tired. But it is unusual for me to go two days with no mega post –Now it feels good to catch up with you all!
Caryn – Brackets office pool question. Do you get credit for all the picks you got right including the winner of a future game that played against someone you didn’t pick because you got that one wrong? For second round, I got 25 right and 7 wrong. How is that? My biggest snafu is putting Vandy to the final four so that whole quadrant is messed up!! Hopefully you’ll be writing in blue for a while…..I just checked – the Dawgs are ahead against Pitts…Yep. actually I have two weeks off! Yeah for the super soccer/band mom!! Rob on Leno –NEW Robcrack!!! Yummylicious. Sorry you’re having technical difficulties on the road. Persevere! I forgot to say that I loved that Herding Cats tweet from CW too! And yes, I can picture it too!
Jaclyn – Are you really going to bed earlier to compensate for waking up in the middle of the night? Do you have a lot of trouble getting back to sleep? I got a little teary eyed when I read about how you are cooking a special meal for your parents to say thank you. Gosh. You know what? The feeling is mutual, I’m sure! After having met them, I know they absolutely dote on you! My time off – Well, it is because my son has a different spring break than my school. It counts as a sort of child care issue (even though he is 17) Families need to take their vacations when their kids are off school. I don’t get paid for my break anyway for my spring break and now I actually get pay taken away for the week I’m taking off! It’s very different from an office job. I’m glad you like WfE so far, - keep reading – you’ll be sucked into the fascinating world of an American traveling circus of the 30’s. That fingerporn gif – I just don’t know if that is healthy for you to view!
Jadey – I’d love to know more about you – Are you in school? I have two big kids – 17 and 20. I teach English as a Second Language to adult immigrants. My husband’s mother’s cousin lives in NZ – Auckland.
Tonise – Hope you had a fun time at your daddy’s bday party. More Yellow Box? They sure are cute, but do you know what? I can’t even imagine wearing anything like that until May. My feet are cold right now with socks and shoes on! I totally understand not wanting to write. Sometimes you just have to let the “non-writing” happen too. I just started writing again and it came quite easily. If I had made myself do it before, I would have hated it! Besides, now we get to have a wonderful mega post from you! Grilling outdoors sounds great. Once the snow melts off our gas grill and our deck, I’ll start doing that too – probably not till April, though.
JennJenn – When that happens again, just jump back in bed and get out on the right side!
Tracy – I’m glad you got to see The King’s Speech finally and got the bonus of the WfE trailer!! Did you melt? What luxury lexing in an empty house!! The Smoky Mountains? In a Chalet? That sounds very relaxing. So your kids visited their grandparents for a night first? I got a little confused. Are your kids on spring break now? We’ll miss you the next couple of days! Sorry about Vandy. Oh well. I had Butler beating them anyway, so I still could get the final teams right as long as the Dawgs hang in there! I don’t like the whole winning and losing thing about sports – it’s too hard to take it they lose. I’m not competitive – I just want everyone to get along. Still, I do like the brackets!! I don’t actually need to watch any games, just check the website for the updated results and then mark my bracket sheet! No, Hubs doesn’t have much vacation time yet. I’m going to take Sonny Boy somewhere for a couple of days – location TBD. Then who knows where I’ll go for my spring break……I appreciate your reviews of both of Rob’s interviews. You think the suit was gray? I think it was blue we’ll have to go to battle on this. I watched it live on TV maybe that made a difference? Must do research.
Ginnie – Guns? I’m scared of guns!!! I’m such an urbanite. Good thing your hubs is very careful about gun safety and storage, right? I’m trying to picture Little Lady shooting and I guess I can handle it if I think in terms of Annie Oakley. Since she’s interested in being on stage, maybe she can play the title role someday! Hearing how you had to get your hubs up and out the door reminds me of my house. For some reason, I’m the only one who knows how to tell time. Sorry your little guy had a bad dream. I totally understand why you weren’t quite in the mood to finish your post.
Lulu – I have yet to see the MTV interview – I can’t wait to make time for it. He is pretty silly sometimes – it’s like he’s trying to shock us, or trying to be funny – which is it? Poor Reese had to kiss him when he had a cold. I wonder if she caught it? I’m sure the link to the Leno interview is on the Lex blog page.
Fi – I’m glad you got to visit your mum! Now you have houseguests. You and GB are very sociable, aren’t you? It always sounds like so much fun there. When will you start packing up all of your stuff to move?
I notice that it is well past even the “Continental” time for dinner. I think we’re having leftovers. It’s good stuff, though. Earlier this week I made a delicious chicken dish with red wine, bacon and wait for it…. prunes. The butter/ wine/ bacon saltiness /prune sweetness is a mouthwatering combination…Of course there is onion in it and a little diced carrot and celery. ….I’m finally getting a little hungry after all of those Girl Scout cookies I ate earlier!
I’m all caught up now!! Hooray!
See you tomorrow!
I laughed when he talked about his Dad signing autographs at the studio after his last Leno appearance, and especially when Rob mentioned that he resembled “Boy George with an Amish twist” on the Vanity Fair cover. 
. Thank God. She'll be going back home tomorrow.
