How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Even Hubby Doesn’t Know!

in Everyday on 08/10/10

I have been with my Hubby for a looooong time.  Married almost 14 years but I think I should get credit for the 5 years I put in before he wised up and put a rock on my finger.  So, let’s say 19 years and I must confess, there are some things, even my Hubby doesn’t know.

Dear Hubby has no idea I have one funky hair that grows out from my neck?  ewww I know right?  I have to pluck that baby every 6 months or so.  My sister and I have a pact then when we are old and grey, living side by side in some luxury old age home, we will drink wine together and make sure we face the world….without extra weirdo hairs.  She is my back up hair plucker if I can’t ever do it myself.  That is love.

Romantic Hubby doesn’t know that when I have had a really bad day and need a few minutes to myself, I will grab a book and go sit in the bathroom.  It may not be the most comfortable seat in the house, but sometimes it’s the only place a Sassy Mama in demand can catch 5 minutes to herself.

My Hubby shaves his face once a day.  Normal.  Yes, I shave my legs. Normal.  I also shave my big toe.  So not normal.  What can I say, hairy toes are not sexy and after you shave that stupid toe once, you can never stop!  Perhaps I should try waxing those babies??

Hubby has no idea that when I torture myself with a Biore facial strip. You know those little pieces of tape that tighten and clean out your pores.  So sexy!

IMG_4473I am secretly fascinated and disgusted at the same time by the zillion fuzzy little trees that are left behind after I rip it off my nose.  It is so gross and I can’t stop staring at it!  (Don’t worry I won’t over share and post that picture.)

Finally, Hubby knows I have a problem with examining my every twinge, ache and pain by investigating it to the fullest on the internet.  He has banned me, yes forbid me, from doing any medical searches on the computer.  Every time I google anything from a possible sprained toe to pink eye, I end up convincing myself I could possibly have some kind of incurable disease.  Poor boy is tired of talking me down.  What he doesn’t know, I can google from my phone and will sit in my car, in the bed, uh in the bathroom and do complete medical searches until I find a diagnosis I can live with.  Sigh.  I have a problem. 

Enough for now. Must go before he reads this over my shoulder.

      Ha! I absolutely LOVE those Biore strips. I can’t wait to take it off and see all those things I just plucked from my pores. And I HATE when I *forget* to shave those big toes.

      I think keeping these things from your hubby has probably contributed to those blissful 19 years together! 😉 At any rate, it can’t hurt!

      Whenever I use those Biore strips I am totally fascinated by the little forest that I pluck out of my face. It’s gross, but I’m totally in to it.

      Hurry up and change your URL so that Hubby doesn’t read this! There are just somethings that NEED to be kept from your spouse!

      Come be when you can…

      “but I won’t over share” snort.
      It’s o.k. Sounds like normal stuff to me. Hiding out in the bathroom is classic.

      Being hairy is no joke 🙁 I know about those stray hairs. At least I don’t have a husband to hide it from 🙂

      I think lots of women shave those toes.

      A few secrets are good in any relationship

      We’re all entitled to our secrets, right?

      haha. i need to go ask T about the things i dont know…or maybe not…smiles.

      I have one really long, disgusting hair that grows out of my left big toe, aren’t they just disgusting, lol! I am so tempted to get my forearms waxed; mine are so hairy they resemble my black labrador. Eek!

      I also love doing the facial strips and I also spend just a little too long examining the muck they get out! Actually, I’m due to do another soon, thanks for reminding me, haha!

      Some things are better kept to ourselves. Gotta have that air of mystery still (or rather –better not shatter that -ahem- perfect picture they have of us… :p

      Very funny! Sadly, I also must shave the big toes. Truthfully, I have to shave all the toes and the top of my freakin’ foot! I’m a hobbit! 🙁 I’ve been looking into laser hair removal for my feet. I don’t care what it costs, I’m getting it done before the end of the year!
