No curtains? No problem!

I know tomorrow is the horrible neighbor day--but This was too good not to blog about. This neighbor isn't actually horrible. He may be nosey, curious, horny, a peeping Tom, or just another nice neighbor trying not to look. A friend of mine, I'll call her " Katy" moved into a new townhome about 4 months ago. It's in Maryland, in a certain city I won't mention. Nice townhome. Anyway, she did about 50,000 worth of renovations to the home, and now has no money. She has no curtains or blinds. A man came to her door this morning, and introduced himself as a neighbor behind her. Her bedroom is in the back. I don't know how much this fellow has seen, but he remarked about her " unusual bathroom" She does have a nice bathroom, but I wonder how much he's actually seen. I asked her, " Where do you undress?" I don't think she liked that question, but again , I'm going to end this blog entry with: Get some blinds or curtains, you exhibitionists!! Have a great Halloween.

Did HE say that?

It's funny, but the other day, my husband was chatting with a customer. He's a very feminine man who's married w/ children. He said, " One Halloween I dressed up as a woman, and none of my friends or neighbors knew I was a man, or that it was me. " ! My husband thought, " I don't think I'd brag about that"! If I dressed up as a man, and ppl didn't think I was a woman, I'd be worried...........and I'd also be a very short man. ! Are YOU dressing up this Halloween?

Perv of the week!

Once I get organized, I'd love to have a Pervert Thursday. Each Thursday, I'd tell about a real life pervert that I've read about. Today's story is true! At a Barnes and Noble near me, two women went into the ladies room---One woman felt someone touch her leg ( ewwwwwww) and another was peeing and noticed a man looking over from the next stall ( looking down on her peeing) ( sick!) They are now looking for this short fuck ( he was said to be about 5'5) early 20's (pathetic he can't get laid and has to go into a ladies room at Barnes and Noble) so we are looking for a young, horny, short, bookworm. brown hair, brown eyes. Damn! Cant a woman pee in peace?

Naked in the window!

For lack of something to blog about, I'll tell one of my horrible neighbor stories for today. Sorry I missed yesterday's Horrible neighbor day. I was so busy........The kids take up most of my time, other than work. I really need to jot things down to blog about because my entire life is one chaotic mess. Billy Bob ( my white trash neighbor across the street) had been speaking with one of his bratty children, and she told him our neighbor across the street, we'll call him " Jack" had been undressing in front of his window and he had no blinds. This derelict Billy Bob didn't think to tell Jack. Instead, he waited until one night he could observe this himself, and he did. Who knows how much time had passed, but my middle son informed me he had seen Jack half-naked himself. Once my husband had the information, I delicately told Jack myself. He was mortified, but the moral of the story is: Get curtains or blinds for gods sake. And, if you don't--you too ,may have your neighbor peeping at you!

Oh that Halloween candy!

Halloween is almost upon us. One week to go! My grocery store has had it's Halloween candy out now for about a month. For those of you that bought your candy a month ago--THROW THAT OUT. I will be buying my candy sometime this week. And i've done pretty good on my diet so far, so I hope I can resist eating the candy until Halloween. I'm going to buy my younger sons costume today--what fun. He's going to be a grim reaper. Have a great day all!

Hurrah for blinds!

One of my neighbors, who my son and I used to call " Hairy back" moved recently. He had a very large bay window in his dining room area, and every day when we passed his house, you can see everything in the Dining room. Including his hairy back, and him wearing shorts. Ugh! The new neighbors have moved in, and put up blinds almost immediately. I don't blame them. Where the house sits, it's on a busy road where people have to slow down to turn and they can see right into that home. Hairy back didn't see to mind, but i like my privacy, so I'd put up blinds too! Have a great week, and I sure hope i have something better to blog about than someone's blinds! !

Tuesday is horrible neighbor day!

With my one reader to my blog, I'm going to try to stick to my Tuesday's as horrible neighbor day. I saw on a few other blogs--they had white trash Wednesday. what fun! I realized that my 2 older sons and a few others didn't know exactly what white trash is. It's actually hard to explain. You'd have to see it to believe it. The one thing that the white trash family will almost always do-- pass their children off to someone else. Whether it be--a super-dad/coach who they feel should automatically take their " son" on his team ( my neighbor did that), or the white trash couple that likes to go out drinking every weekend and has " grandma or grandpa" watch the kids. We knew a couple like that. They can spin it however they like, but going out to bars every Friday night--and getting drunk, staying out all night, and glad to have the " kids" gone is not my idea of ideal parenting. They would say " My mother gets quality time with the grandkids" and then some! We even had one couple bring Grandma along to Ocean City in a condo we all shared ( company condo). The condo had two bedrooms. It could sleep two small families if needed, but the one couple brought their two kids and Grandma along. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that, except for the fact my husband and I spent each day with our one year old son, and we'd always see the Grandma ( a young Grandma at that, she was probably only about 46) and their two daughters hanging around the condo, while they did who knows what. It's o.k. for Grandparents to babysit occasionally, but this couple really knew how to milk it. Anyway, back to the topic of the day. My neighbor has been really quiet since visiting us 4 times within a 24-hour period. My husband bought a new truck, so naturally he felt compelled to come over for a visit--ask my husband for a job, ask to have construction material given to him for one of his projects, and remark about our trim stating he'd paint it. My husband declined, saying he was planning on doing it himself, but I'd say my neighbor has graduated from " nosey" to " annoying" and a busybody. Do YOU have neighbors like these? Have a wonderful day----------

Horrible neighbor day, a day early

We hadn't heard much from Billy Bob until Saturday. My husband finally decided to buy that new Dodge Sprinter. Billy Bob came running over to drool all over it. We're pretty private people, and my husband wasnt' going to give many details, but Billy Bob visited, and pretty much kept coming back. He came over three times on Sunday. yes, three. By the second time, I'd pretty much had it. I bought my husband some coffee, and he reached his hand out. I just snapped, I don't know came over me. I told him......sorry.......I have too much to do to get other ppl coffee. he then joked i was " one way". Not the right thing to say to a frazzled mom. I told him...... I have 3 kids to take care of and plenty to do. If Billy Bob had a life......... a big IF 1. he wanted to ask my husband again for a job. Billy Bob is a painter, but also an alchoholic, and not trustworthy. My husband already has a painting company working for him, and the guy & his help are decent ppl. 2. Billy Bob wanted to be given some supplies for home projects. Do you understand where i'm going here? My husband said he gave him leftover "scrap", but beggars like Billy Bob keep coming back. They never give up. I may have to step in and tell Billy Bob to please stop begging. We've taken our 23 years of marriage to have a nice life, with good friends. I am not going to have Billy Bob joining the circle. Now some of you may say.....oh you should be nice to him.. ! Since this man has moved in, he's been the nosiest bastard, and he has children with no manners. I caught his daughter standing out on the sidewalk looking into my house the other day. She's on thin ice too. How do you rid yourself of pesky neighbors? Do they make raid for humans?????? have a great day. Do YOU have pests for neighbors?

Foley: the bigger picture

I'm just going to make a few points here. As far as Congressman Mark Foley........is anyone thinking what I am? This man is how old? All he's ever done is im a few young boys? I'm very skeptical about that. If he was molested as a child, there is a high likelihood he has molested boys/boy in the past. I'm not accusing here, just bringing up the possibility. I read the ims from a link off the web, and was disgusted. As the mother of 3 boys, 2 of whom are under 16, I'm appalled. Let's investigate this further, get this man some help, and take away his computer. !

What's one more person?

Lately, I've forgotten about horrible neighbor day. My neighbor has been keeping to himself pretty much these days. Thank God. For any of you who have neighborhoods like mine, very diverse...We have all kinds of homes here. We have split foyers/3 bd/2bath our home has 4 bd/2 1/2 bath.....the new development down the street has the large homes, McMansions some call them. And we also have the small, older duplex's that were built in the late 1800's. In this one particular home, we've had about 5 diff tenants since we moved to Annapolis. Each time, an interesting lot comes. 2 tennants ago, we had a drug addict/his older aged party girl and her two teenagers. They were bad enough, but not as bad as the family we have now. I know what you're thinking....you mind your business/they mind theirs. It didn't always work that way. This family definately belongs in a trailer park, and sticks out in this neighborhood like a sore thumb. They have a small house. It's half of a duplex. It has 2 bedrooms and a small attic. Good for a couple and their two children. Only, this family and 2 tennants ago, they always want to cram people in. Now, we see someone else is living there also. Where do they put these ppl? Well, my husband finally got around to buying that new truck. Saturday, the father in that house, I call him " Billy Bob", came out onto his porch, looked over and pointed to the truck and threw up his hands. I imagine he's seething with jealousy. Anything we, or any other neighbor has gotten, he has to comment, and scrutinize. Now this man is an alchoholic ( spelling),and does work for his step-son. i'm sure he's had hard times for all of his life, but my husband, and neighbors work hard for what they've got. When my neighbor got a cute new little car, he said......" must be nice to have money". She shrugged it off. At that time, Billy Bob had no car at all. When he first pulled up over a year ago, his wife was driving a beat-up old pick up truck. Now, i'm not one to judge, but I knew what to expect from this family, and I was right. I just told my husband to downplay the new truck, mutter to himself about how many payments he'll have to make, and let it go. There will always be people who have less than you who are jealous. When I was younger, and drove a beat up older car--I was happy for people when they got new cars, furniture, etc. I knew my day would come. I just try and mind my business and live my life. Billy Bob will never understand how much work you have to put in to be a good mom, good businessman, good neighbor. He wasn't raised well, and I do feel sorry for him. To give anyone a laugh during horrible neighbor day........is a plus. Billy Bob reminds me of a mountain man. raised in the wilderness and never brought into society. One of my friends actually told me to talk w/ Billy Bob to see if i can help him in any way. We had conversations, but it's clear this man is beyond help. I'll be nice to him, but he needs to back off. I do value my privacy, and don't appreciate being watched. I've always kept my eye on him because I don't trust him. If you've ever had a neighbor like this, you'd know. I say.....be happy with what you have. I have a neighbor who has a hummer 2, and I like it. I know I can't afford one, but i'm happy for him. It's sad to think of a life where you are always wanting the life everyone else has. I like to stay busy and worry about myself. Do YOU have a horrible neighbor story?

only at the fair........

I was reading on aol about state fairs and bizarre competitions. In Iowa they have a rubber chicken throwing contest. Not to be confused with West Virginia's chicken contest where women chase chickens and cut their heads off. Look out peta! ( joke) In wyoming, they have a pig and mud wrestle. Better they wrestle than have sex with them, I always say............In Richmond, they have a lawn mower riding contest. Hey- My neighbor John would love to have the contest in his backyard. The grass is probably knee high by now, and snakes are slithering around in it. In Illinois, they have butter sculpting, and Oprah and her pals come in and eat the winning entries. ! by the way.....is Oprah still on her across america trek with her gal pal? I heard her complaining about being tired on one of the shows.......I thought.....o.k. you are a billionaire--you don't have to drive too many hours if you don't want to or hell, make Gail drive. It's ridiculous when rich people complain about things they can control. it's a show Oprah--if you wanted to drive 3 hours a day, you could. I'm sure O & G could give us entertainment by only driving a half hour a day. ! blog ya later.

Thoprah and Lail

sort of a twist to Thelma and Louise. Oprah has decided to take her long-time friend Gail on a road trip. And she wants us all to see. Just how close two women get without being gay! Now, if I went on a road trip, I'd rather take Gale Harold. What a hunk! I could drive cross country with that beefcake. So, Miss Oprah wants to remake Thelma and Louise. hmmmmmmm. I have read that Rosie doubts Oprah's claim she's not gay. Well, it's ok to be a lesbian, but let's look at the facts. 1. Oprah hasn't married long time suffering fiance. ( just how long has their engagement gone on?) 2. she'll well past the let's get married and have kids stage. I know most of us women have close friends, but why can't Oprah take poor stedman on a road trip? That poor man. Can you imagine waiting for a woman richer than Oprah, younger, better looking to come? Stedman--take my advice......I don't think she's going to marry you--move on. She's getting a little long in the tooth anyway. My feeling is--if you really love someone--marry them!


Dont wait until you've been engaged for 16 years--by then it's too late. Good luck to the two women on their road trips. Question: will the camera be rolling all night long on these two buddies?

Love, or something like it

Do you ever get tired of reading--anywhere actually--about love. I was reading a blog today and the woman asked herself. Did i marry too young? i did. But there must have been some reason for it. I do love my husband. But, we've been married almost 23 years. Love changes. That doesnt' mean it's a bad thing. But some ppl can be so melodramatic.

The girl blogging: Did i marry too young? Every time i think about it, I know I couldn't do without Steve's undying support. He's my rock and I love him sooooo much.


Me: How long have you been married? I love my husband too, but lately he gets on my nerves. Sure, love is great. At first, you can't do without them. You long to see them. blah blah. I need to send my husband on a week vacation. By day 5 I might miss him. I want to tell this woman that she better enjoy this lovey dovey gooey ooey right now. Runaway bride? runaway groom? let them run............If they don't want to get married, they really shouldn't. It's hell being alone, but being marriage isn't always fun and games. I'll never forget this one older woman, who was at the time, about 52. She was on her second marriage, and she'd been married to the new, prick of a husband for about 6 years. Her husband had a heart attack and died ( he was about 57).

We went to his viewing, and she said to me ( I'd been married only about 4 years at the time) " Always tell your husband you love him. "

well, sometime in the past year, I reminded my husband of this, and i said I love you, I love you, I love you. he laughed and said........go fix me some sandwiches i'm hungry. To the older woman: thanks for the advice lady, but you don't really know how much you love them until they are dead and not coming back. !!!

Whitney--you go girl!

so, Whitney is divorcing Bobby Brown. Hmmmmm. I always wondered who was worse--she or Bobby? Have you seen Being Bobby Brown? I will have to watch the next show and review it for you. Whitney surprised me lately. I watched the show and the whole family was having a picnic, and Whitney and Bobby were fondling one another and Whitney said, " Let's go in the woods, baby" I used to admire her. Not after I watched the show. She was surprisingly " ghetto". Let's hope she goes to charm school, stops doing drugs--if she still does-- and cleans her act up. Whitney it's not too late girlfriend.

Bye Bye Croc hunter

i know it's old news......but I was sad to see Steve Irwin pass away. And what a way to go! killed by a stingray. I always knew some animal would get him. You have to hand it to him though--he was brave. My older two sons ages 22 and 15 adored him. I think my 15 yr old may have shed a tear or two. He's been watching Steve since he was about 3 years old. We can see stingray's at our National Aquarium in Baltimore. I know have a new found respect for them. Not that I ever wanted to jump in and swim with them anyway. Here are a couple of cool links for you. Check out the last one which is a bowling mishap.

So this guy Reardon is clearly mentally incompetent, or doing a very good acting job. He's not playing baseball anymore, so what's a middle aged man to do? Mr. Reardon? go buy a motorcyle and start traveling the open road like most middle aged men. And if you rob a bank, at least try and get away with it. Embarrassing!
