I am here for Friends

About Me



My name is Robin. I was born and raised in Chesapeake, VA. I went to Oscar Smith High School in South Norfolk and graduated in 1989. (God I'm old!) I moved to Norfolk in 1993 and have been here since. I've been a stay at home Mom and housewife for 12 years now and I love it! I wouldn't have it any other way. My children and husband are my life. My husband and I own and operate a successful trucking business, appropriately named B & R Transportation, Inc. It has it's moments but it pays the bills and Brian loves his job. If you want to know anything else just drop me a line.



My Interests



I enjoy working with numbers and money and would love to attend college for some type of accounting or bookkeeping classes. Additionally, I think being a smart ass rules! Not everyone has the ability to be spot on with sarcasim. I excel in this field! Oh wait...I think my husband has me beat! MY BAD!

I'd like to meet:

Oprah, Paula Deen and Mya Angelo.
You can have everything...you just can't have it all at once" -- Oprah Winfrey
I'd like to meet the morons who decided that people who sit on their butts can get FREE medical, food and child care instead of the people who bust their *SS'S every day and still have nothing. What's wrong with this country?

Music:

I LOVE MUSIC! I think Carrie Underwood and Chris Daughtry are they best things to EVER come from American Idol. (with the exception of Kelly Clarkson) I mainly listen to country music but I also like Rock,Pop,and some Hip Hop.

I don't like too much Rap music but some of it is ok. I DO think most rappers have dumb ass videos though. I mean how much booty shakin' can you have in three minutes? *rolls eyes*

Movies:

I know this sounds stupid, but while I do enjoy movies, I usually always fall asleep right in the middle of it. I can't really remember the ending of any movie I've seen in the past year. LMAO! I rent them....fall asleep....then watch the rest later. .. Oh well! Can you imagine what happened when I tried to make it though JFK? I STILL don't know how that movie ended. And Gone with the Wind...that one took me 3 days to finish! LOL!

Television:

I'm a junkie! I watch anything & everything "Reality" (yes I know most of the crap is scripted) and my husband hates it. There's nothing better than hearing the "BIINNG" of the TiVo and hearing my husband say "DAMN...WHAT ARE YOU RECORDING NOW!??"UPDATE: My new favorite toy is the Cox Cable DVR! That thing can record two channels at once! The TiVo had to hit the bedroom. Now I can record THREE....YES THREE shows at once!! Damn I'm sad ain't I? LOL!

Some of my favorite shows are:
American Idol
Desparate Housewives
Dirty Jobs
Project Runway
Survivor
Deadliest Catch
American Chopper
Dog The Bounty Hunter
Myth Busters
LA Ink
Survivor Man
Celebrity Fit Club .....to name a few.

Books:

Just picked up Sandra Lee's book called "Made From Scratch"

Heroes:

Above all, my true hero is my Mom. She is the epitome of a strong woman. I only wish I could grow old and be a 1/3 of the woman she is. She is patient, kind,loving and understanding. She was an excellent wife for 45 years until my Dad passed away May 2, 2004. And somehow she raised 3 boys and me and still managed to stay sane. HA! My other hero is my maternal Grandmother. She was born in 1919. Survived 3 wars, buried two husbands, had two major strokes and is still alive and able to communicate. What a woman!
Oh and Jesus is pretty fly too.

WHY!!??

Why is it when you try to help someone they end up trying to taking advantage of you? It seems like I always put my foot in my mouth. You do something for someone and when it's all said and ...

Yet another bright idea

Don't ask me how it happens, it just does. I come up with these ideas to go here or there with Brian and the girls (or the dogs), to have something to do. Often it's to try a new restaurant, which usu...

What was I thinking?
