How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Useless Things I Learned Today

Very few things at the dollar store are actually a dollar.  (and I can still manage to drop $20 in 5 minutes)

I will eat yogurt covered pretzels until I feel sick if for no other reason then to hide the evidence.

Just because the check out girl can fill my environmentally friendly bag to a whopping weight of 50 lbs does not mean I can carry the damn thing.

Toddlers – If they tell you they need a washroom. They mean immediately.

I will click through 40 slides just to read useless fact about Friends.  Even reading some of them out loud to the Hubby, you know, because Friends was awesome.

My car can go at least 10 miles further after that little alarm sounds and the dial reaches E! (whew)

There are some great ice cream bars out there under 100 calories. Thank Goodness, now I can justify eating 2 at a time.

You can have at least 21 tabs open on your laptop at the same time.

**Just saying, it was one of those days.

      A bowl of ice cream is finite, where as rows of cookies are not. This is why only ice cream is allowed in the house.
