Happy Birthday, Robin!

Here are 22 things you might not know about Robin:

1. She has her own blog now. It can be found at http://robrobsramblings.blogspot.com/.
2. Robin has attended AA. (Relax - it was for homework.)
3. Her middle name is Allison.
4. She shares that middle name with Mom's dad.
5. Robin is AWESOME at flower arrangements.
6. Sometimes, if you're really nice, and buy all the flowers for it, she'll make beautiful arrangements for you. (Thank you, Rob-Rob!)
7. Robin's nickname is Rob-Rob.
8. My daughter bequeathed her with said nickname - originally pronounced Wob-Wob, with puffed cheeks.
9. Robin has a sweet and tender heart (probably not a surprise).
10. Robin's favorite scene in the newest Pride & Prejudice movie is the "misty scene" - when Mr. Darcy (Matthew Macfadyen) is walking toward Elizabeth Bennet (Keira Knightley) in the early morning.
11. Robin doesn't really like babysitting.
12. Robin is really good at cleaning and organizing.
13. My messy house drives her a little crazy. Thanks for visiting me anyway!
14. Robin is a little CDO (thanks, Ellie). And by "a little," I mean that she knows exactly where everything in her room/apartment are. And if you move them, she'll know about it.
15. Her CDO helps her to know when she has been walking and/or rearranging things in her sleep.
16. Robin can be hilarious to watch when she's sleeping. I especially enjoy the talking in her sleep.
17. Robin is an excellent parent to Mom. Thanks for helping her not to eat frosting - that grosses me out, too.
18. Robin is a gifted piano player. She doesn't flaunt it, but I love hearing her play when we're at Mom and Dad's house.
19. Robin is tougher than she looks. She kicked butt in her self-defense class last year - and lived through the practical exam to tell about it.
20. Robin might not like the way you drive - even though she won't tell you. Major accidents do that. Be careful when you drive, or offer to let her take the wheel instead. Especially near ice.
21. Robin is good at most anything - stained glass, ceramics, witty banter...
22. Robin doesn't like feet. At all. Please don't put yours on or near her. She'll promise to do the same. Don't let dirty kids put their feet near her either. Kids that have come directly from a bath without touching the floor may be an exception to this rule.

Happy Birthday, Rob-Rob. I love your guts!!! :)
