Future Darwin Award Winner…
Rarely ever do I post twice in one day… but I just couldn’t resist and I’m fairly certain that Joe will appreciate this one. ;o)
Remember the neighbors I told you about? The people who ran around trying to find out what upgrades their neighbors were choosing?
Here’s a quickie update:
I put a park bench in front of my house on the porch. It was an anniversary present from Mike several years ago, he even had a little plaque engraved and put on it.
Surprise, surprise… what do the neighbors do? That’s right, a park bench appeared on their porch.
Last Saturday about 8am, Ethan woke up to the sound of children’s music BLARING from across the street. The had a bouncy house shaped like a big, pink, castle filling up half of their backyard, pink and white balloons EVERYWHERE, and at least a dozen little girls (between the ages of 2 and 4) running around in princess costumes.
That’s right… a birthday party at 8am. (WTF?!?!?! Comes to mind.)
Last week I watched from an upstairs window (ok, not on purpose I was getting laundry from Ethan’s room and it caught my eye) as the husband was dragged half-way across the front yard by his lawn mower… SHE had to stop with the weedwhacker so she could help him stop the runaway front-throw mower.
Today, I was in Ethan’s room playing a video game with him (ok, watching him play is more accurate) and the Dynamic Weedwhackers (still testing out nicknames) were at the yard maintenance again and still having trouble with that darn pesky mower.
I couldn’t resist… here is the picture that inspired the post title:
and yes, she was out weedwhacking in a black dress. In mourning for her common sense, no doubt.
(yes, I know, I can be a real beee-yotch)

Holy moly, that’s funny. I know that I always do yard work wearing a little black dress. W-T-F?

Oh man, I guess every neighborhood has those kinds of neighbors.
Maybe she was wearing the little black dress because her silk gown was at the cleaners?

hah! That’s awesome. That picture is almost as good as the story behind it.

You poor thing! Your neighbors sound like complete tools!

Kentucky Girl I prefer to dig out a bridesmaid ’s dress I wore several years ago, something in organza or taffeta or something. I figured a little black dress was more for fishing at night or something. ;o)
Chickie Yes, and I just had to end up with them across the street with a full view into their backyard.
joefish I’m terrible, aren’t I? ;o)
cerella I think they are. My husband is far more relaxed about these things and just says, “eh, they’re dorks, but they seem nice.”

Joefish Has anyone ever told you that you are a sick, twisted man? And, I mean that in the most complimentary way! ;o) *evil laugh*

No, no one has ever told me that.
At least not today.

JoeFish Well, then allow me to be the first… today… Joe, you are a sick, twisted man, in the absolute best sense of the phrase. ;o)
