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.

A humorous (and sometimes NOT so humorous) look into daily life.

I am an addict
By 'Burb Blog on Thursday, February 28, 2008 1:57 PM
I am an addict. A Coke addict to be exact. A Coca-Cola addict to be exactly exact. Three weeks ago tomorrow I took yet another plunge into Coca-Cola rehab. Four days later I embarked on a 9 ½ hour road trip each way all by myself AND my destination was my grandparent’s house where I am always spoiled with among other things, Coca-Cola. I am very proud to say that I resisted and survived.
 
It hasn’t been easy, what with the mope attitude, all around exhaustion, crazy nightmares, manic shudders and shakes and anger. Yes, withdrawals have been bad to me. It wasn’t until three days ago that I think I finally escaped most of the symptoms of withdrawal. I thought I was totally over it until I absolutely HAD to be in bed last night at 8pm.
 
I gave myself Easter. If by Easter I am still off the Coke, I can cross this off of my list of 101 Things.

Allure Traffic Master Flooring - I wish I was being paid to write this....
By 'Burb Blog on Wednesday, February 27, 2008 11:52 AM
Oh my gosh! You all MUST check out my kitchen floor! It looks so great! We used to have this God-awful linoleum that was white and very porous so it ALWAYS looked dirty. As of yesterday, we have some cherry wood looking flooring called Trafficmaster Allure. It’s gorgeous! As soon as we get the baseboards back up (when it stops raining so we can paint) I’ll post some before and after photos. Tomorrow we’ll start working on the living room/dinning room.
 
All weekend I painted the kitchen and cleaned and now I am putting things back into the kitchen. My husband Jay did and AMAZING job with the flooring (I am sorry I doubted your capabilities) and I expect nothing less in the dinning room. As you can see, I’ve been OH so busy. More later!

Thoughts on Marriage
By 'Burb Blog on Wednesday, February 27, 2008 8:58 AM

The other night Jay said he wants to make a baby ... this year.

I started remembering what someone told him after they found out he was engaged. Yes, we were engaged rather abruptly but I think the reaction of one of his mentors was totally wrong. He said, "You don't just marry the first girl you ask".
