Thursday, Dec. 16th

* * * When I was standing in line at the post office this morning, a woman from the local Chick-fil-A came in and asked the postal clerk waiting on me about how many employees worked at the post office. The postal clerk wasn’t sure, so the Chick-fil-A lady counted out thirty business-card sized cards, and handed them over. She saw me watching, and gave me one, as well. It was a card for a free Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich. Score! I guess it really does pay to be in the right place at the right time, eh?

When I got up yesterday morning and came downstairs, there was a box sitting by the front door that had apparently been left in front of the door the night before by the UPS man. On her way out the door to wait for the bus the spud saw it and brought it inside. I thought at first that it was a box I was waiting for from Amazon, but upon closer inspection it didn’t have the Amazon logo on the outside of the box. I opened it, and what did I find?
A yellow box… Filled with yellow M&Ms!
Upon checking out the packing slip, I remembered that awesome reader Katy had emailed me last week and asked if she could have my home address, because she wanted to send me something and couldn’t send it to the PO Box. Since we’d exchanged emails in the past, I was comfortable with letting her have my home address and then promptly forgot that I was keeping my eyes peeled for a package from her. Who rocks more than Katy, huh? That’s right, NO ONE! (Thanks again, Katy!)

  1. Meester Boogers creates such *special* effects – I wish he’d script his OWN journal page with pix.
    I love him, and what is best for me is that he is that funny as a catperson and R0byn, you capture his moods to a T. Thanks, and Merry Christmas!

  2. I wish -that- happened to me when I was at the post office. I just got the weird postal lady who couldn’t figure out how much it would be to mail a card to australia.
    I can not be the only person in texas who mails there.
    Anyways I luff the pic of Mister Boogers, and the caption made diet dr pepper come out my nose..

  3. Your Welcome!
    “It was this big…” is killin me. lmao
    I keep getting strange looks from the guys in the office when i read your blog..lol

  4. Hells Ya And3rson Family!!! Merry Christmas Too!
    Robyn,
    It’s been a long time since I posted, But I Have been lurking… (oooo creeeepy!) for a while. Lakewood NJ really burned my ass with the BS that came out of it’s mouth. (ps. cockbiter I hope you’re reading this)
    I wanted to say that I think you and Fr3d have done a great justice to the world for writing your everyday happenings, but adding in your “weighty” issues. I poured over Fred’s book and all your exercise jibber-jabber and found it to holla my fat ass right to the gym, put down the brownie and pick up a celery stalk(er), head over to Dr. Bernstien and loose 62 pounds. (NJ, just so you know that was over a year ago, I’m still at my finishing weight goal of 137, and I’m 5’7″, noted we didn’t hear ANY of what I’m sure are your impressive stats).
    Granted this doesn’t work for everyone, but hearing I wasn’t the only one in a battle with the belly was nice. Better yet whats motivating to some is to hear “wow, that chick has a nice ass” instead of “holy sh*t look at the size of that chicks ass”
    Now Robyn, I know you don’t need help loosing weight and/or getting motivated. But the thing that should keep all us hefty b*tches happy is knowing that one person can help another get the lard rolling (off that is), big hypes to you for helping me start my change of life (and I don’t mean the old-lady change). I just wanted to give big-ups to you and Fred for being normal everyday people. That is motivation in its rawest form incase you are a stuipd-head. (no Lakewood’s mentioned). Man, were you way off by even trying to use your head.
    Lakewood NJ you must have some serious danglers, naw scratch that (no pun) you’re just a coward. At least I can leave my name…
    A wise person once said, if you’re going to be a f*cktard, don’t get outta bed….
    Peace out y’all,
    Merry Ho Ho.

  5. Okay, those Bean pictures are kinda scary. The Eyes!!! p.s. I got my Robyn Christmas card in the mail…I feel so special!! 🙂

  6. Robyn,
    Never posted a comment before but just want to start with the fact that I love everything about you and you family. Question – is there something wrong with Meester Boogers’ eye? One of my cats paws his eye to the point that it tends to get swollen shut. The vet said he has OCD – um, yeah, I don’t think so but it could be true. So I guess, my comment is two fold – first I hope all is well with you and your family and cats (as in, I hope nothing is wrong with Booger’s eye) and second, have you ever had one of your vet’s diagnose any of your cats with a personality disorder? Thanks and much love – Amy

  7. Magnolia: It costs 80 cents to mail a card to Australia. Most countries, with the exception of Canada, require 80 cents – Canada takes 60 cents. Now you can tell the crazy postal clerk how to do her job! Heh. Can you tell I’ve mailed out a lot of cards to other countries this year? 🙂
    Margaret: That gum is HILARIOUS! Hee!
    Amy: Nope, there’s nothing wrong with his eye. If it looks funny in the picture, it’s because Fred had to photoshop pupils into the picture (the flash washed made his eyes glow). As for the personality disorder – I’ll address that in my entry tomorrow (thanks for giving me something to write about. 🙂
    Fitchypoo: What? We beat his bad ass until he poses funny for us. That’s not wrong, is it?
