Welcome to the Bûrb Blog

Welcome to the window that overlooks a cul-de-sac in a small neighborhood called Maple Lane. I invite you to sit back, grab a cup of coffee and enjoy the antics of the crazy neighbors, minivan moms and the wild people in the bûrbs. It doesn't really matter which city you live in, from suburb to suburb, neighborhood to neighborhood, the characters are always the same.

Listen to the weekly podcast, Suburbs & the City, by navigating with the links in the left or read from the bloggers below.  
  
Almost Enough

It is nice having almost enough. For the first time in 3 or 4 years I am writing checks out of my check book and knowing that there should be no problems getting them mailed on time. I don’t have to “rob Peter to pay Paul” as my mom is likely to say every time I mention that I have to make this or that payment late in order to make sure this or that stays on or doesn’t get taken away :) .
 
Although this “part time” (if you call 30-40 hours part time) retail job might kill me, I know for a fact that it will either come to a halt or slow waaaaaaaaaay down in about 3 weeks. For that I am thankful and frightened. I’ve gotten used to buying a new blouse or sweater (just the essentials) on Sundays and paying my bills ahead of time (not sending the payment overnight or frantically waking up to pay online at 11:56pm because I just remembered that it’s due TODAY). I’m thankful because 4-6 hours of sleep doesn’t due a person justice. If I was vying for a million dollars on Survivor, I might be able to justify the madness but sadly I am just spinning on the non-stop hamster wheel of life and just getting by…without the trim body to show for it.
 
Christmas Day will be a day off and a day of family (his) and a day without family (mine). After that, it’s anyone’s guess.

What a great feeling! I've finally myself come to that point in my life as well and it sure does feel terrific to know you don't have to play the ostrich game with your bills (you know, head in the sand). Pay them, get on with life: go shopping. Luv it!
