Hi! I am Robin, Jackee’s friend from the great and wonderful WWW. Although I won’t be walking Casper or taking in the mail, I am delighted to be virtual house sitting here at Runs With Scissors as a guest poster while our sweet Jackee is sunning her lovely self in Mexico, margarita in hand…
Among other things my kiddo can discuss with his future therapist, I love to sing the songs from Avenue Q in the car. The tunes are upbeat and kid-friendly sounding but the lyrics are definitely R rated, or at least PG13. My favorite song, by my favorite character, Trekkie Monster, is called The Internet is for Porn. While this may be true for plenty of people, we here in blog land can definitely make a case for all the other wonderful things the internet is indeed for.
First off, the obvious…Blogs! I didn’t know was a blog even was until about a year and a half ago. One of my friends emailed me about her friend who was starting a blog and to go check it out. Check it out, I did – and I was hooked. I started my own blog about a year ago – and although I only post a few times a month, I read much more. I check in (almost) daily and stay in the loop on the lives of my few real-life friends who write blogs, but also my new and wonderful blog friends, too. I crave their stories and words and wonder what has happened when they do not post. The community here always amazes me!
If you check out my blog, you will see I write about my family a lot. What does that have to do with the internet, you ask. Everything, it so happens. I met my husband on jdate.com. The current 5280 (Denver lifestyle mag) has an article about the woes of online dating that makes it sound like a big, scary world. But I was obviously very lucky. True love, just a click away - too cheesy to be true but amazingly it worked for me! Photo by:Ventana Photography

On my blog, I also dedicate quite a few posts to Stuff You Can Buy. Either in the form of product review, or I want (fill in the blank), or help me choose – material goods are good blog fodder and a huge online time waster for me. I am one of those people who needs to know all the options before making a decision (do they make a pill for this?!) and the wealth of info online is very helpful for this quirk. Recently I spent 3 hours (Micah’s longest nap, ever!) looking at diaper bags and reviews. I also love to look at home décor sites and blogs and virtual shop, although those purchases are not in my near future.
So, Jackee – thanks for being my internet buddy and letting me share some of my random thoughts with your readers. Have fun in Mexico, and have a marg for me!!!
Thanks Robin...does that mean that Casper is home without food and water too? Robin is one of the many blog friends I have met, while lurking around, reading other peoples thoughts and the happenings in thier lives. She recently added to her wonderful family, with baby Micah, and personally, I love seeing his sweet happy face when she graces her blog with his photos. Thanks again Robin, see you soon.
