How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

My List of Yuck

in Uncategorized on 09/12/11

It’s Monday morning and I feel ranty.  Instead of being all blue, I will just list, in no particular order, a variety of things that make me go Yuck…

~Baby toads held in front of my nose by 8 year old girls.

~Spiders so big they can only be killed with a hammer. 

~The slime in the bottom of the drain after you wash the dishes.  Shiver.

~Belly button lint. 

~Chronic Halitosis.  GO to the dentist, get some gum, brush your teeth? It’s not that hard.

~Black dog hair on the white ceramic tile.

~Sticky stuff found when you place your hands on the handle of a grocery cart.

~Smell of gas that can never be washed off your hands no matter how hard you try.

~”Estimates” to fix your TV that run in to the hundreds of dollars.

~People who lie.

~The end of summer…that brings the cold

Yuck.

Rant away.  What’s on your list of yuck?

      It would seem that we share the same list but I know I could add a lot more

      With the colder weather coming, I’ve killed two giant spiders in the last few days! Gross!

      Yep, that is a list of yuck! I really hate the grocery carts. I think we need to wear rubber gloves.

And then there’s @loviamykonos. 🤍

Looking for a hotel in Mykonos? This one has stunning views, the warmest staff, dreamy boutique-style surrounding and an unmatched location.

There were so many moments sitting on our terrace, looking out over the Aegean, we’d look at each other and say, “Can you believe we’re here! That this is real!” 💕
Lovia, you were pure magic. ✨
We left a little piece of our hearts there. 🇬🇷🤍

Hubby and I will never forget the ferry ride in Lake Como that took us to this HomeExchange in postcard perfect Italy. 
How did we manage to spend almost 2 weeks at this dreamy location without maxing out our credit card? @homeexchangecom 

I promise - once you try #HomeExchange you will never look at travel the same way again! Follow the link in my bio for all the deets. ❤️

    Squee! It’s that time again — planning another #HomeExchange getaway!
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.

If you want to travel more often and live like a local, you need to check out @homeexchangecom.
