How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Getting My Mojo Back . . .and Getting it Off My Chest!

in Everyday on 11/25/09

It’s been a rough week so!

~I hope my Hubby thinks Hypochondriacs are *hot* cause I’ve decided I am what I am, this old bird can’t change her ways!

~I sent up a little prayer of thanks last night….to the The Lunch Lady. Thanks goodness today is hot lunch day for my darling daughters. I am so sick of making lunches!

~While I’m at it I’d also like to say a quick blessing to the makers of Tylenol, Advil and Ice packs. You rock.

~Why doesn’t Canada have a “Black Friday” of Shopping? How do I get that started here?

~Why do I bother with the non-fat latte then add a Ginger Molasses Cookie? Is this really going to keep me in those skinny jeans?

~I need a Blue Tooth. You know….some kind of wireless cell phone contraption for my car, but I’m afraid of making a shopping blunder and can’t decide which kind to buy. I have shopping paralysis!

~Why do shirts and sweaters always look so good in the store and then like crap when I get them home? Are there some kind of magic mirrors in those dressing rooms??

~Oh…and one last time. Down with Swine flu.

Random feels so good. 🙂

      I totally agree that stores have magic mirrors.

      Oh no, swine flu???? Eek! So sorry, hope you feel better soon. I think the hardest part of the swine flu in my family was the quarantine and the total stir-craziness that ensued. Don’t forget, you can always partake in all of the online Black Friday bonanzas, even in Canada! 🙂

      Honesty is always the best policy.

      With a 3 yr old and a 3 month old to tow around, I avoid black friday like the plague.

      kim = supahot

      kim = hypochondriac

      therefore kim = supahot hypochondriac

      wait…

      kim = hypochondriac

      hypochondriac = supahot

      therefore kim = supahot hypochondriac

      no…no…

      ahem.

      hypochondriac = supahot

      supahot = you

      therefore you = hypochondriac

      which means you are me…

      hmmm…no wonder I got a C in logic class. crap. OH WAIT!

      kim from Alaska = she is Canadian?

      sigh.

      Yeah, I bleach my turkey. The end.

      I can’t eat chili anymore.

      NOW the end.

      I don’t do the black friday thing. Im all snug in my bed at 3 am!

      I might be wrong in that I think Black Friday shopping is like Boxing Day shopping …and it’s crazy! I don’t like crowds much. You can tell.

      I love your random posts. My dad is a hypochondriac, so my sister and I have a little bit of it in us too. My sister always thinks she has a brain tumor and I always think I have cancer. And we never do. And be thankful you don’t have black Friday there. It is torture and traffic is hellish!

      i have the same issue with sweaters – i cannot begin to count how much money i’ve wasted on them…

      Random is best ever.

      And I concur – no Black Friday in Cda? WTF?! (pardon my french)

      Hope you’re not requiring too much of those Tylenol, Advil and ice packs.

      There’s always next week. 🙂

      I agree with You and Gigi. Those mirrors are FAKE! NOTHING looks the same as it did in the store when you get home.

      I have a Garmin GPS in my car that has blue tooth built in – works great!

      As always, I love your post! Have a happy thanksgiving! Umm, is Thanksgiving the same day in Canada as it is in the US?
