How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

I Didn’t Want It To Happen…

in Everyday on 11/29/11

I never wanted…

To mix up a teeny hand held air freshener with breath spray. Perhaps the picture of a pine tree should have been a clue?

To ever have to try to eat anything like this. Meal Worm Salsa? Shiver.

disgusting

To ever admit to my 12 year old daughter that her grade 7 math is getting too difficult for me.

To send a powerful volt of electricity through my bod as I stepped out of a hot tub to do something really important; turn on the CD player.

To walk through a grocery store with spit up on my shirt, and baby poop on my pants. Fashionable.

To watch my Hubby break his big toe falling down getting out of the shower. Uh, cause I kicked him out of the shower, not in the “showering together” mood.

To ever confuse eyeliner with lip liner again.

To have a police officer knock on my door with a need to check my pool, and under my pool cover for a missing man. Gulp.

So the scary thing…all but ONE of these things are true! Meh, it happens. Can you guess which one is a fib?

      I am so far behind in my blog reading but I was going to guess the salsa stuff. Pretty scary about the missing man!

      Okay, time to fess up. I shocked myself, mixed up eyeliner with lipliner and had police knocking on my door needing to search my pool. What I would never do is eat Worm Salsa! YUCK

      Oh a couple of you have it right!!
      I will tell you the police story is true!! There was a man missing in my hometown and the police went door to door looking in backyards, sheds and under pool covers. So sad! (he was not in my yard!)

    Woo hoo - another amazing HomeExchange! This week Woo hoo - another amazing HomeExchange! 
This week we felt all kinds of spoiled in our cozy accommodations in gorgeous Scottsdale. We hiked local trails, snuck in a little golf, drove with the top down, ate all the food, and enjoyed a sweet sunset in our own backyard. All because #Homeexchange provided us with a unique - almost free- way to stay in Arizona and see all the things! 

We had such an amazing time we’re already planning our next adventure!
