How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

The Wild Goose Chase

in Lifestyle on

The day started much like any other in this average house in the suburbs.  The crush to get the girls organized and out the door.  The frustration that the cream for the coveted coffee had gone sour.  The cat pestering the poor dog.  Isn’t that supposed to work the other way around?  Domestic chores which I so love (insert sarcasm here) piling up. Life’s little worries slowly taking control.

Then in the middle of all this domestic bliss a big fat ray of sunshine! The top ten finalists for the Mabel’s Labels BlogHer’10 contest were announced and what??  How To Survive Life In The Suburbs made the cut!  I have a chance, a real chance, to blog for Mabel’s Labels and win a trip to BlogHer in New York City!  Cue spontaneous dancing and air high fives…..cause there was no one here to high five with.  Woot!  Woot!

Called the Hubby who is actually all kinds of proud, and thank the lovely people of Mabel’s Labels while simultaneously congratulating all the other finalists. Whew.  What an honor!  Links to all the finalists are right here!  If you are looking for some fab new reads, look no further!

Oh wait, maybe look a wee bit further, because today I am also a featured writer on LOL. The creator of LOL is gathering up some of the most entertaining and funny writers on the web.  She must be confused, cause some how I tricked her and got thrown in to the mix!  Ha!  If you want to hear my thoughts on shopping where I did not belong and the power of butt transforming magic pants, jump on over to LOL.

One more!  Have you entered the giveaway I am hosting courtesy of Perricone MD?  A fabulous product worth $120.00! Don’t miss out!

Mwah!

    1. Congrats!!!! I must say, I don’t miss those morning rushes. My son is 19 now, he gets himself up and dressed and fed and off to school or work! Nice….

    2. I jumped over to LOL like you said but that turned out to be a VERY BAD IDEA because I just had surgery on a ruptured disc three weeks ago and now it looks like I may be a cripple.

      I hope you’re happy.

    8. Good things happen to good people! Does hubby understand all this bloggy stuff. My hubby laughs at all the time I spend on here. But it is finally paying off now…I told him patience! He still shakes his head…lol!

    11. Thank you so much for your kind compliments on my blog.
      Your blog is great, and congratulations on the award nomination. A trip to New York would be a great reward!!!
      I love how we both have the same love (????) of domestic chores.

    12. Congratulations! Now I am going to go follow all the links because I am not quite sure what I am congratulatiing you for, although after reading all your comments it must be a good thing!
