How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Ramblings From The Suburbs at 2am

in Everyday on 10/04/12

Too much coffee? Pre-menopausal? Just plain too much on my mind?  I don’t have a clue.  What I do know is that I am awake.  Like all the time.  So last night, I got up and wrote down my ridiculous thoughts.  Now lucky you, here’s a peek into the thoughts bouncing around inside my head.

-Migraines Suck.

-So do mean people.

-I can’t believe what just happened on Boardwalk Empire! (and no I will not tell you.  I hate those spoiler alert kind of people.  Just go watch. 2nd last Episode of Season 2)

-Damn.  Forgot to buy chip dip at the store today!  I secretly think this is because my brain knows my body can’t handle any more physical expansion.  Chip Dip = Bigger Butt

-Low rider jeans kind of suck.  I mean, it doesn’t matter how big my butt actually gets those jeans just keep sliding off.  Excuse to buy a new belt?

-Maybe those dudes with suspenders are smarter then the rest of all humanity. Forget fashion sense, at least when they bend down the entire world is not getting a peek at their hinnies!

-Who are all these people on International House Hunters?  How on earth can they not only afford a second fabulous home somewhere on a gorgeous beach or far off Europe, but be able to just pack up their entire lives and just…move!

-Can I block my Dentists phone number?  His office keeps calling and calling and CALLING.  All to repeatedly tell me that I’m “due” for a simple cleaning.  I know this. I get it.  Message heard, but here’s the thing, I’m terrified of that dude in the white coat. I simply don’t want to go, and the more you call and nag the less I want to.  I’m all kinds of stubborn like that.  So QUIT nagging.  I will go when I am good and ready.  Maybe.

-I need to go visit my Granny, it’s been too long.

Good grief.  no wonder I can’t sleep, it’s a very strange place inside my head. 

Pass the Nyquil.

    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.
