Oh wow, really? Thank you for telling me in such a timely fashion.

While watching a movie from a projector on a white wall at Barny’s friends house, Barny and I had this conversation:

Barny: “Can you imagine what it would be like to have this at our house?”

Robin: “No.” (said very straight-faced)

Barny: “You can’t?”

Robin: “No.  It would be too awesome.”  (also said very straight-faced)

After brushing for so long with all natural Tom’s of Maine toothpaste, I recently used Colgate. It tasted like I was brushing with candy. I had forgotten how sweet toothpaste can be! it was very weird.

Maria and the dress we chose for her to wear. Barny is the one that found it!

80 degrees on Easter in Massachusetts? Hello global warming!!! We can have a nice outdoor Easter cookout and sunbathe all day. As much as I love the warm weather and sun - it just doesn’t sit well with me that it has been 70 in March.

The first day of MY week is Monday. At least, that’s what my pill box says. (Yes, I’m an old lady who has a pill box.)

But with it starting on Monday and ending on Sunday - isn’t that just going to confuse school aged children? They should be doing it correctly!

“Johnny, what’s the first day of the week?”
“Monday?”

No, CVS. It is not.

We’re suppose to get more snow tomorrow - 6-12 inches, and then another storm on Thursday!  I wish Barny was here for all of this snow - he arrives on Sunday.

It seems the older I get, the earlier I like going to bed.  I would ideally like to be awake at all hours when the sun is up.  So if the sun is up at 6am, I would like to, too.  Last night, I went to bed about 10:30, and meant to set my alarm for 8ish, because that way I wouldn’t get too much sleep.  I forgot, and stayed in bed until 9:30.

I have a lot going on in my mind - wedding planning, Barny coming to visit, Aunt Kathy and Uncle Dan coming to visit at the same time, dad losing his job, me graduating with my Master’s and needing a new job…. there’s too much going on that It would just take forever to talk about it.  And so, I just write nonsense that you won’t enjoy reading.

Maybe I’ll be able to have the strength to write about at a later date, but it’s 10:25, and I’m ready for bed.

Well, I’ve been fairly rubbish at updating my blog.  Not quite as bad as Megan - but almost.

I do have some big news - I am getting married!

I’m marrying Barnaby Peter Lanman.  He is a wonderful, hilarious, kind, darling person.  He cooks dinner, and I do the dishes; we sit quietly together while he plays video games and I read; and I scrub his back, and he scrubs mine.  We make a perfect pair.

We have been dating about seven months, but knew within a month that we were going to marry.  I’m not sure exactly how, but we just knew.  When I arrived home, I told my parents, and a few weeks later, I even told my uncle Dan, aunt Michele, and friends Dan and Beth who I visited in Ohio.  ”I have found the guy I’m going to marry,”  I told them in late August.  Nearly a month after meeting Barny for the first time.

We’re already applied for his Fiance Visa, and we’re hoping it will be approved by May.  We’re planning on having a British wedding celebration on 6/6/10, and a proper wedding ceremony in America on 8/8/10.  He proposed on 1/1/10, by drawing me a little comic book.

The book described things we had done during the Christmas and New Years holiday, and ended with this page.  When I got to it, Barny got down on one knee in real life, and produced my ring.  My speech bubble was left blank, and I had to fill in my answer.

Barny and I are both ecstatic, and can’t wait until we can finally live in the same country!

Gary Oldman (Sirius Black in HP) is on his fourth wife.  Every time he gets married, his wives get younger and younger.

Wife # 1 - Leslie Manville (87-90)  born in 1956.

Wife # 2 - Uma Therman (90-92) born in 1970

Wife #3 - Donya Fiorentino (97-01) born in 1967

Wife #4 - Alexandra Edenborough -(08-present)  born in 1977

#3 is a bit off, at three years older than wife #2.

Anywho - not that this has anything to do with me, I just found it interesting.

If it was me, I think I would say, “You’ve been married HOW many times?”  And I probably wouldn’t continue to date them.  Much less marry them, thinking “Well, maybe I’ll be different than the other three.”  Yeah, right.   I’m one to think that marriage is for life.  And you should work at it - and you can’t just say, “Right, well, this isn’t working.  See ya!”

But is expecting to be married only once suddenly old fashioned?

We heard you were feeling a little…..
