We moved up to a nicer house. We thought we'd do better, but the real estate man got us. Closing costs were supposed to be $295 but they turned out to be $750. They have you where they want you-you've already moved into the house.

I find a sense of freedom in the suburbs... You assume the mask of suburbia for outward appearances and yet no one knows what you really do.

Every year I go to my mother-in-law's for Thanksgiving and every year I swear I'll never do it again. But I always do, do it again.

My husband, Pat, has a theory about watering our newly seeded lawn. The water has to trinkle from heaven and fall like tender little rain drops...otherwise the lawn won't grow properly.

I find the tensions of the day go away when I run a few miles before dark. The light is different, I hear new things and smell new odors like a fireplace burning oakwood. Sometimes I find that dogs are not man's best friend.

I enjoy giving a Tupperware party in my home. It gives me a chance to talk to my friends. But really, Tupperware is a homemaker's dream, you save time and money because your food keeps longer.
