How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Resolutions Start Tomorrow…maybe

in Uncategorized on 01/01/10

Today I stayed in my pajamas until noon.
I finally had a shower and cleaned up by about two.
I let my hair dry. I did not brush it out carefully and with the love it deserves, it is now a tangly ugo mess.
I did not make my kids shower at all.
For breakfast I ate peanut butter, so thick and creamy, spread on hot fresh toast.
I drank coffee with full fat cream.
We smashed an entire Gingerbread House with an ice cream scoop. I ate my fair share. OK. Maybe a bit more.
Lunch was pasta stuffed full with left over shrimp from last nights party for two.
Somewhere in here I snuck in Hot Chocolate.
Dinner, the oh so nutritional chicken nuggets with a side of mashed potatoes.
We have one more movie to get through tonight. There will be popcorn….and extra butter.

For these offences of laziness and over eating against my body I do not apologise!

However Dear Body, I will try and do better tomorrow.

      Now that’s what I call living. Gotta start the New Year with a bang, a bang of good food.
      I’ve been on atkins for 3 months, so when I ate a big bacon classic and fries, to say the least I was in heaven.

      I look forward to blogging with you. I can tell its going to be a fun year.

      …i don’t like mama’s last blog Orange Juice, Gates and Pee?

      Sounds like a good day to me! And one that has suddenly made me very hungry. 🙂

      Ok, You got me! I ate toast, macaroni and cheese, pretzels, and a handful of jelly beans for dinner, with Diet Montain Dew!

      Tomorrow starts the new year!

      Happy New Year! As good a way as any to start 2010. 🙂

      We had a McDonald’s breakfast with the kids to start the year off.

      I have recently stumbed upon your blog and love it. I also live in the burbs but I do not have the mandatory dog and kids so husband and I do not quite fit in. It is an interesting place to be.
      I love your New Years Day… it sounds very similar to ours.
      Happy New Year!

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!

Do you have a favourite town or lake in cottage country? Tell me!!

One annual membership fee + listing our home = unlimited swaps all year long. Affordable luxury travel for the win.
