How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Even Hubby Doesn’t Know!

in Everyday on

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.

    5. I guess your blog is a way to show your devoted love, eh?

      Secrets, schmecrets – in this day and age of technology, anyways!

      So – laser for permanent hair removal. Love it!

    6. I, too, have a rogue hair that grows out of the side of my neck! I never noticed it until Man-Child was about six and he pointed it out to me. Thanks, kid. Okay, off now to check the status of that hair and see if it needs plucking!

    7. Oh … I shave my toes, totally normal. And I have made my girls promise that when I can no longer pluck those wild hairs they will do it for me! Another good reason to have daughters!

    10. Heyyyyyy!!

      Why did you allow my wife to guest post on your blog?? LMAO

      My wife has some secrets too, some of which she doesn’t know I know. And yes, she Googles every medical thing too and then has herself convinced that she has two days to live. Arghhh

    12. I need to get some of those Biore strips…now that I can finally afford that luxury. And I too shave my big toe…I don’t think I know a single person who doesn’t.

    13. I shave my toes too. So don’t feel like you a total weirdo 🙂 And those Biore things…definitely do they fascinate me. I can’t help it either.

    14. All these apply to me as well!!! I am absolutly forbidden to even consider webmd or other medical sites. I do the toe shaving and read in the bathroom too!
