How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Useless Things I Learned Today

in Everyday on 03/01/17

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.

      I actually had a cloth bag rip due to crazy packing! And no, it wasn’t old and wearing out. It was new and had an obvious limit.

      Yes,and those environmentally friendly bag that the cashier adds 6/2L containers of Milk,that’s just too much…

      That was very enlightening LOL. The dollar store one actually pisses me off on a daily basis…false advertising.

      I have many pieces of useless info in my head, such as coca cola would be green if they didn’t add colouring to it. But I’d never find out the gas tank one on my own because I’ve never let it get below a quarter of a tank!

    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!
