Girl Gone Burbs: May 2012
http://www.girlgoneburbs.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 31, 2012. Italy through the eyes of a pregnant woman. Well, a week has passed since I've returned from our wonderful vacation to Venice and Rome. I've posted the normal beautiful pics you might expect for family and friends, but I thought I'd share a quick photo diary of what Italy REALLY looks like when you're pregnant with twins. First of all, on our first night in Rome when we went out with the intention of having a very nice dinner, I got too hungry to wait and we had dinner here. That ...

Girl Gone Burbs: June 2011
http://www.girlgoneburbs.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 26, 2011. The Caped Crusader takes on NYC. Forgive me, I've been missing awhile. Partly due to laziness. Partly due to being sick of my own "typewritten" voice. And partly due to sheer exhaustion. This last excuse for my MIA blog is mainly an ongoing "I-have-a two-and-a-half-year-old" tiredness, but it was recently compounded by a weeklong trip with the hubsicle, the two stepkids, and little monkey man to the East Coast for my mother-in-law's 60th birthday. He chased pigeons in Central Park:.

Girl Gone Burbs: July 2011
http://www.girlgoneburbs.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 25, 2011. First of all, I'd like to share my latest Marsha moment (Martha Stewart's infinitely less talented stepsister). I was quite proud to finally be using my sewing machine for a real project, and with $35 worth of fabric from Walmart I was able to change this:. Two patio chairs and a couch! Then, in other news, I had my second triathlon! So a few shots. First, pondering my jump into the pond scum:. This is the end and, can't be sure, but I think this guy was trying to tell me something:.

Girl Gone Burbs: March 2012
http://www.girlgoneburbs.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 8, 2012. Well, 40 is sneaking up on me, I have a husband, a son, a home in the 'burbs. I figure it's about damn time I think about going to church. Laugh if you will, but if you didn't grow up going to church, figuring it out at this point in life is a daunting task. Especially when your son's preschool registration deadline is tomorrow. I need to give the neighborhood school a hundred bucks unless I can find a church this afternoon with a great preschool and send him there instead. Subur...

Girl Gone Burbs: November 2011
http://www.girlgoneburbs.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 14, 2011. Mother's Mother Knows Best. So grammie is coming to town this week from Wisconsin. We've got the basics covered - sheets washed, bed made, most crumbs vacuumed - but I thought I'd give her a call and see if she had any requests from the grocery store. Well, yes," she said. "I'm going to make baby boy real chicken nuggets, not the frozen crappy kind you give him. So I'll need chicken.". What's wrong with frozen vegetables? Or my bad parenting? It was with these thoughts in mind ...

Girl Gone Burbs: Maternity Clothes
http://www.girlgoneburbs.com/2012/07/maternity-clothes.html
Thursday, July 5, 2012. Dear Maternity Clothes Designers:. I know you are probably very busy shopping clearance sales for bolts of fabric that were stylish fifteen years ago, so I'll get right to the point here and let you know there are a few things I think you may have forgotten since you dropped out of design school:. 1) Horizontal stripes are not slimming. So WHY ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH DO ALL THE CLOTHES DESIGNED FOR WHEN I'M 40 POUNDS OVERWEIGHT HAVE STRIPES? That's me yelling.). I bet this maternity ...

Girl Gone Burbs: In Sickness and In Assembly
http://www.girlgoneburbs.com/2011/08/in-sickness-and-in-assembly.html
Tuesday, August 2, 2011. In Sickness and In Assembly. Marriage is a beautiful thing. Two people meet. They flirt, they laugh, they share secrets and dreams. They fall in love. They can't imagine life without each other! Traditionally, the man gets down on one knee and asks for the woman's hand in marriage. From now til death do us part! From now until eternity! It goes something like this. Can you please do this? It should be easy, just finish it up. Not at all phased or sympathetic):. Because you know w...

http://www.girlgoneburbs.com/2010/04/douchebaggery-is-alive-and-well.html
Thursday, September 22, 2011. Douchebaggery is Alive and Well. I can almost not believe that this really happened. That this person really exists. But it did, and he does! Yep, on a recent night out with a single girlfriend of mine, we started chatting with a guy she thought was cute (am I a good wing man or what? And after a bit of small talk he smiled the most charming, toothy grin he could muster and said to us:. You're making a lot of ladies in here really jealous right now.". A former city girl and ...
