so i am working on thinning out my life... aka, my room. I have stuff from high school still that i don't need anymore. like notes that my friends and i passed back and forth to each other that i found, man thoes were old. and pay stubs from a job i had 6 years ago. i am a pack rat. it's official. and it's bad. but i am learning to let go. it's a good thing. i feel better already. i don't need all that stuff, it was fun at the time, but now all it's doing is taking up space in an already crowded room. i am giving away trinkets that i don't like or have any sentimental value to me, usually one that i bought myself. yea like i need thoes. well not all of them. some things i am going to give to one of my little cousins this summer in Red River, i leave in just over a week by the way. anyhow, its a hard task to start to thin stuff out for the sake of thinning stuff out, because well just because i am sick of being a pack rat.

filling in the holes...

so i have decided to fill y'all in on the last few weeks. Lets start with... softball, well so we are sitting at dinner at Beninnigins..(sp?) anyhow, and after our coach Jason was dared to smash his face into is bowl of potato soup (and did it) he then started trying to recruit for softball. they had enough for one team but wanted two teams. well i had the unfortuntae seat being just across from him...and he layed in on me. i kept telling him that he would not want me to play... well a new girl was sitting next to me who is i have befriended... she is cousins with Dan-X and knows that i played firsbee in college and she spoke up and loudly stated.. "Robin weren't you an athlete in college..didn't you play a sport?" needless to say i was shocked. and taken aback...i would never have classify myself anywhere near that catagory but it was somewhat flattering that she thought that i could have been an athlete. i told her that i played firsbee and she said yea thats what she ment... i smiled and said that's not really a sport. but they all agreed that it's the eye hand coordination that's important. still not sure if i buy that. but it was funny to see him put his face in his soup!

yea so i know it's been over a month since i've written on this thing. i'm horrible. i just forget. i know no excuses. lets see. i'll start with the obvious. Memorial Day i was off from work!!! a much needed and well deserved day off. it was great to have a three day weekend. i have decided that we always need to have three day weekends. that would make the world a much happier place to live. well i woke up late ( for it not being a work day...9:30) and then went for a walk...and then softball practice with my dad. ( i am on the 20's class softball team this summer...i know...YIKES) anyhow...then it was off to the showers so i could go buy a swim suit for the memorial day party at my friends house. when i got there there were only 4 of us in the pool and we started playing pool basketball and i got body-checked into the side of the pool and got another bruise (this time on my arm) to match the wicked one on my ankle (a softball injury...thanks Dad...he didn't mean to...i was a little slow catching that one...cause i didn't and now my ankle is black and blue and it hurts...and it happened on sunday) anyhow. it was a party. i was there from 3 to 12am...we had lots of fun! I'm glad i went i'm just sad that it had to end.

so i have decided, i suck at the blog thing again. i got good for a while, and now i suck again. well a recent update, i am going to go visit some friends that i have not seen in a while! I am driving to Huntsville, not to the prison, to visit my friend Stephanie who worked at the snocone stand with me in abilene, and while i am there i am traveling to college station to visit a long lost roommate!!!! EC i miss you!!! it's going to be a good weekend! so if you need me the first weekend of may i am going to not be here, you'll have to call the cell! hehehe, that's the most exciting thing that has happend recently. i still work for the insurance company. i'm looking for a photography job. so i am trying to think of a funny story to write.
ok, so friday night there was a group of us downtown at the Fort Worth main street art's festivle. and it was getting late, i was getting tired. i was standing with one of my friends, btw it was girls night out, and i saw a pretty cute guy walk down the street in front of where we were standing. and i sure did think to my self hey now that guy's pretty cute, the strange thing here, is that while i was thinking, my mouth was moving. and i was not wispering. pretty sure that he didn't hear me but all of my friends did and died laughing. i have to admit that once i realized that i had said it out loud it was funny, very much a robin move! i hope that you got a little chuckle out of that. i'll work on funnier stories for my next post!

anyhow...

so here goes nothing.....
i don't know a whole lot to write but i wanted to becasue i have felt like a slacker for not at least putting a couple of posts on here a week. so mainly i have been working alot.
oh yea, i had the Half Marathon weekend before last...march 25... 13.1 miles...it was a blast! and the training continues! October is still a little while away but i had some problems with a couple of pulled muscles in my leg getting to the half that i am glad that i have left this much time to train for the 60 miles. i know that my body will thank me for it.
i have not heard anything else from the DMN yet. still praying about that one. i hope to hear something soon. that would be a good thing. other than that i miss all my friends from ACU! i will come visit again soon i promise!!! i hope y'all are all doing well! i am sorry that i dont have anything exciting to write. i just dont' live that exciting of a life...hard to believe i know, i'll work on that. love y'all....talk to you soon!

an update...

a few things that i need to update you on....

i called the Dallas Morning News again last friday and talked to my contact. He stated that they are still hiring for the position I want. They are just waiting for the "big dogs upstairs" to make some decisions about some things. But that as soon as they get to the interviewing process that i'll be getting a call. Now i'm trying not to hold my breath too much because i know that he is not the one hiring, but i'm guessing that if he has been talking to his boss about me as much as he says that he has then he just might be right on the money. I sent in my resume a couple of weeks ago so i know they have that, and he told me that he would tell my boss that i called again and am still interested in the position. which looks good i am told. i just wish they would go ahead and hire already. or not. i just like to know a solid decision, i don't like all this not knowing. but i am blessed with a job still at the insurance company so it's not like i am pressed for money or anything, this is just not the best of working environments, i would love to get into a job thats in my degree field, that would be a huge blessing!

and on my walking status...well the 1/2 Marathon is this saturday!!! and at the moment i am nursing an injury. i have a bit of a pulled muscle in my left leg. it's getting better. it was really bad on monday when i tried to walk last but already today i can walk normally again. it's going to be pushing it to walk that much so soon after this but i'm going to do it. i might be in pain again after it's over but i can say i did a half marathon! i'm still excited. i've been staying off of it as much as i can.

what else.....lets see.....i'm sure there is something.....hummm....well at the moment i can't think of anything. i'll make sure to keep you better posted on the job updates and an update on the marathon after this weekend!

love you guys!

p.s. look for me on myspace.... i caved thanks to Hannah i offically have a myspace! and i need lots of friends!
