How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

This Weeks Confessions From The Suburbs

in Everyday on 02/23/10

Dear Romantic Hubby bought me a Chocolate covered candy apple as part of my Valentines Gift.  I promised I would share.  Apparently I lied.  Chocolately covered goodness is all gone.  Went out and replaced it with a second new Delicious Apple.  Shhh.  No one will ever know.

Did my new drivers license arrive in the mail yet?  Well yes, but I keep telling him “No”.  The picture is that horrible and I am that vain!  How did I start looking so much like my mother in just under 5 years?  Not there’s anything wrong with that, she is a stunning 65 year old gal!  Must invest some uber expensive face cream to combat the crows feet and check out that Jillian’s Shred.  Think if I went for some botox the Ministry of Transportation would give me a re-take?

Was secretly relieved when the sleep over / tubing birthday my SweetGirl was invited to was in direct conflict with BlueEyes Gymnastics meet.  She legitimately can’t go and now I don’t have to make up an excuse as to why she can’t sleep over at that bossy know it all full of attitude I can do everything better then you can do it little girls house.

Was so tired that I put lip liner where eyeliner is supposed to go.  Just one eye before I figured my mistake.  Red rouge..not the best look around green eyes.

Sitting cross legged on the floor while writing this post.  Had a HUGE sneeze…and a little bit of pee sneaked out.  Good grief. 

Can you beat that confession?

      I have had the same pic on my license since 2002, after I married The Husband. I will never age on my license, because I renew online and they just send me a new license with the same picture. MUWAHAHAHAH!

      So when we say “bless you,” do we hand you a Kleenex or some TP? 😉

      Move here. We don’t have a photo in our driver’s license! I do find that a bit weird, too, but I’m not complaining. 🙂

      OMG honey, thank you so much for making me laugh out loud (yes, I still spell it).
      I have a collection of bad photos of me. I look like a terrorist in every single one. I’m very proud.
      I’m baking cinnamon buns AND a pumpkin pie, if you lived closer I’d invite you over for coffee. Hugs. xo d

      In NY one can keep the same photo on their drivers license for a long long time. My wife’s photo is several year’s old and is still good for a time to come. Doesn’t really look anything like her.
      I had my photo retaken, ’cause I like to be honest and uptodate or whatever.
      It’s not a good photo, but then I don’t take good photos.
      I’ll see if I can scan it and post it.

      A photo of the eyes would have been nice.
      We wouldn’t have laughed.

      Kegel exercises my dear, and pee more often, that’s the thing to do.

      I let my little guys walk to the bus stop alone together because I am crippled after bleaching the unsealed grout on my living room floor on my hands and knees yesterday. Do I feel pathetic much? You know that I do.

      I’ve replaced candy too.

      I hate those sneezes!

      I am really dreading having to re-take my DL pic next year. Luckily I don’t look anything like my mom.
