How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Wish I Hadn’t Done That–II

in Everyday on 06/11/12

I really wish I hadn’t…  Seems that this is the way I’m starting a lot of sentences these days.  My kids are now 13 and 1o so don’t think I can blame pregnancy brain or not sleeping through the night for my moments of pure genius.  Read on my friends…perhaps it’s just good old blonde moments but honestly, I wish I hadn’t done that…

 

…Breathed in so much of that cleaner when I was scrubbing down the shower. Little Dizzy…
…Been in such a hurry when I was trying to get out the door that I barely looked at myself as I put on my make-up.  Mixing up lip liner and eye liner is a wee bit too Goth for this urban Mama.  Sexy.  Not.  
…Walked out of the house in my brand new pair of jeans….with the sticker (declaring my size to the world) still plastered down the right leg.   Such a trend setter! 
…Hadn’t made it my personal mission to finish all the chips and super delicious dill pickle dip BEFORE my Hubby got home. UG…not only do I feel like a big fat sick whale, now my rings will barely fit!  That’s karma baby. 
…Tried to remove the wall paper in the main floor bathroom.  Ever.  It’s been months, I’m still not done and there are now some pretty big holes in my walls!  Perhaps I can start a new trend deconstructed chic?

…Used the underground parking at that stupid hotel.  (When I was physically ducking as I drove I just knew I should not be in that teeny place!)  Cruising along at 2 km per hour I knocked part of the roof rack clean off!  Oh well, no one can see the top of an SUV anyway right? 

…Said yes to that last glass of Chardonnay. Head hurty.

 

Keeping it blonde, keeping it real. 

Good thing my Hubby REALLY loves me:)

      Oh your poor rack! I mean roof rack. I used to worry about that too…sorry.
      there are a lot of things I wish I hadn’t done. And at 44, the list keeps adding up.
      The wallpaper? I did this. use vinegar and water in a spray bottle….drench the walls and then use a razor sharp scraper. will.save.your.arms.
      Good luck!

      I hate those tiny garages too. I don’t think the sticker size will catch on 😉

      I try to avoid underground parking lots now that I drive a Jeep Wrangler. I keep ducking now, too!

      And who invented wallpaper anyway?

      Apparently, MANY of us have walked around with the size sticker on our pants. I feel MUCH better now!

      I’ve walked around with that size sticker stuck to my new jeans too. Talk about embarrassing!!!

      I have done the sticker on the leg thing, and I knocked the mirror of my husband’s brand new car backing out of our garage. I barely clean the shower, but I try to use a natural cleaner when I do. Those spray cleaners ARE killer. Hang in there. 😉

      More, More, More!
      The post about the pants reminds me about my husband. He was interviewing a big Canadian Sporting Celebrity and after he left the interview he noticed the big long size sticker down his pants. God Bless Him.

      Your day sounds like my every day. That’s just how I roll.

      Sounds like you need to take a break and have some Starbucks! 🙂

      Oh my dear you truly need a big hug. So Hug. B

      Somebody needs to design wallpaper that just peels right off because removal is nothing short of horrific. I know it’s trendy to have it right now, but it’s trendy which means it won’t be at some point ie. more removal.

      Speaking of trendsetting, your size sticker…that probably won’t catch on. 😉

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!
