Wool Wash: Purchase and Product Reviews

By Suburban Wife | Published: January 26, 2009
A cou­ple of weeks ago, I ran out of wool wash.  Now for some peo­ple that would be no big deal.  But in my house­hold, run­ning out of wool wash is akin to run­ning out of toi­let paper.  Okay, well maybe that’s not a good anal­ogy.  It’s like run­ning out of tooth­paste or sham­poo or [...]

Boring Groceries & Exciting Woot! Find

By Suburban Wife | Published: January 22, 2009
Let’s start with the bor­ing and mundane: Yes­ter­day I made two sep­a­rate stops at two dif­fer­ent gro­cery stores.  After a morn­ing appoint­ment with a roof­ing guy I made a quick run to Nat­ural Gro­cers — $28.54.

Minor mundane expenses

By Suburban Wife | Published: January 19, 2009
Tired. Worn out. Demoralized. That’s the state of my exis­tence lately.  I’m under quite a bit of stress related to my efforts to revive my online children’s cloth­ing busi­ness.  I’m sleep­ing very poorly, due, I assume, to the stress. My expenses this week, with the excep­tion of the new car, have been sparse and mundane. I put gas [...]
