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. 🙂

      Please help me understand your interest in starting a Black Friday. I(teetering on Agoraphobia) don’t even like to leave the house on Black Friday. Maybe you all have it already and are wise enough to not give it such a foreboding name.

      That is precisely why I hate clothes shopping hate it!

      And, FYI, a lot of the syrups can be sugar free.

      Yes. Mirrors indeed. Sometimes it is just best to not look in any mirrors and to visualize what can be and take some space from people.

      OH but we do have Black Friday it’s called Moonlight Madness and it’s owned by the HBC. Also my local Electronic stores are pulling out hte Sales but really it’s not a free toaster for the first 100 customers like I used to get when I lived in the USA. We’ll have to open our own stores nad start it here. 🙂
      Off to put my Turkey Breast in the oven. I got ot have turkey today.

Leaving the house behind and headed to Ontario cottage country. 🌲☀️
The hubby and I are planning a 7 night lakeside escape just a few hours from home, and honestly, this is where the girl math really starts mathing. After an expensive year, I’m extra grateful for our HomeExchange membership — and I love browsing all the gorgeous lakefront homes nearby!
