How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

The Wild Goose Chase

in Lifestyle on 04/14/10

The day started much like any other in this average house in the suburbs.  The crush to get the girls organized and out the door.  The frustration that the cream for the coveted coffee had gone sour.  The cat pestering the poor dog.  Isn’t that supposed to work the other way around?  Domestic chores which I so love (insert sarcasm here) piling up. Life’s little worries slowly taking control.

Then in the middle of all this domestic bliss a big fat ray of sunshine! The top ten finalists for the Mabel’s Labels BlogHer’10 contest were announced and what??  How To Survive Life In The Suburbs made the cut!  I have a chance, a real chance, to blog for Mabel’s Labels and win a trip to BlogHer in New York City!  Cue spontaneous dancing and air high fives…..cause there was no one here to high five with.  Woot!  Woot!

Called the Hubby who is actually all kinds of proud, and thank the lovely people of Mabel’s Labels while simultaneously congratulating all the other finalists. Whew.  What an honor!  Links to all the finalists are right here!  If you are looking for some fab new reads, look no further!

Oh wait, maybe look a wee bit further, because today I am also a featured writer on LOL. The creator of LOL is gathering up some of the most entertaining and funny writers on the web.  She must be confused, cause some how I tricked her and got thrown in to the mix!  Ha!  If you want to hear my thoughts on shopping where I did not belong and the power of butt transforming magic pants, jump on over to LOL.

One more!  Have you entered the giveaway I am hosting courtesy of Perricone MD?  A fabulous product worth $120.00! Don’t miss out!

End of this linky Wild Goose Chase.

Mwah!
