description: Ever have one of those days where life just plain sucks? Welcome to my last three monthsever since I caught my cant-be-soon-enough ex-husband cheating with his paralegal. Im thirty-five years old and Ive lost my NYC apartment my job my money and frankly my dignity.But the final heartache in the suck sandwich of my life? My great-aunt Maggie died. The only family member whos ever gotten me.Even after death though shes helping me get back up. Shes willed me the keys to a house in the burbs of all places and dared me to grab life by the family jewels. Well Ive got the vise grips already in hand (my ex should take note) and Im ready to fight for my life again.Too bad that bravado only lasts as long as it takes to drive into Huckleberry Hills. And see the house.There are forty-seven separate HOA violations and I feel them all in my bones. Honestly Im surprised no ones accidentally torched the house yet. I want to and Ive only been standing in front of it for five minutes. But then my hot grumpy neighbor tells me to mow the lawn first and Im just...done. Done with men too sexy for their own good and done with anyone telling me what to do ever again. First rule of surviving the burbs? There is nothing that YouTube and a glass of wine cant conquer.
