A new year, but unfortunately the same frustrations. 
First off, I want to apologize for not having blogged since Christmas.  I’m glad the holidays are over and we’re finally getting back into the swing of things.  And since it’s already 2 weeks plus into the new year, I figure I’d better get back into the blogosphere. 
So [...]

I think I’ve learned my lesson when it comes to Papa in Suburbia’s gift giving.  Every birthday, every anniversary, every holiday I am asked the question, “What do you want?”.  And my answer is always, “I don’t know.  Surprise me”.  And you would think that after 4 years, I would have learned my lesson. 
Don’t let [...]

Everyone complains about how women get when they’re PMSing.  That’s nothing compared to how a man gets when he’s going through his “mid-life” crisis.  Yes, it is official.  My husband has entered the “I just found a gray hair, I think I need to get a 2-seater sports coupe” stage of his life.  Let me tell [...]

Do you ever wake up in the morning with a bad [...]

Who put seeds back in the watermelon?!?!?
For as long as I could remember, I’ve always eaten watermelon that had no seeds.  Sometimes you’ll find a stray white seed here and there, but not enough that you would have to worry about spitting it out.  Little did I know, I’d been buying SEEDLESS watermelon…DUH!!!  I usually [...]

“Happily Ever After” - the 3 words that imply wedded bliss once the “I Do’s” are completed. Yes, I was once that young naive girl that believed in that fairytale ending. I believed that because I waited all those years to find my Prince Charming, he must be the one, right? It’s not like I [...]
