By Suburban Wife | Published: January 1, 2010
I spent the whole stinkin’ day work­ing on my online store, didn’t leave the house, and still man­aged to spend a lot of money.

By Suburban Wife | Published: November 18, 2008
A coy­ote crossed the road in front of me this morn­ing as it trav­eled from one sec­tion of green­belt to another.  I can’t remem­ber ever being that close to a coy­ote before and see­ing it there, in the mid­dle of an upscale sub­ur­ban devel­op­ment, was a glo­ri­ous tes­ta­ment to the will and drive to sur­vive [...]
