It’s hard to say goodbye and the nosy neighbor
June 2nd, 2009 by Paula

A person can only take so much. I am that person right now. I’ve had enough. I’m talking about my neighbor. My annoying, nosy neighbor. I’ve been polite. I’ve kept my mouth shut and put up with lots. She’s crossed the line and I’m pissed. It’s funny, the hubby had enough of her long ago and he just laughs her nosiness (is that even a word?) off. Let’s it slide right off his shoulder and ignores her. How can he do that? She steams me right up. Always telling us how to care for our dogs – and what we are doing wrong. She comes over constantly knocking at our door….I think the dogs need more water. I’m worried about the dogs, it’s raining (a slight drizzle) and they will get wet and catch a cold (they each have deluxe dog houses 6 inches away from them) They don’t have long enough leashes…..it goes on and on and on. Now onto The Rubbish. Thats right – our trash. The other day I get a phone call and she wanted to let me know that something got into our trash that was setting out and that a crow was pecking at the piece of trash that was on the ground next to the trash bag.WHAT? Get a life lady. If she had something to do other than watch out her windows and be into everyone else’s business, she might actually be quite a productive person. I’m guessing she has binoculars handy too. How does her husband put up with her? He seems to be a nice, quiet gentleman and neighbor. Friendly, but minds his own damn business. Can you tell I’m wound up? Sheesh.

Sarah has left for Korea to be with her family for the summer. My 17 year old son Phillip is lonely. She left yesterday and won’t return until mid August. We will all miss her. She is a sweetheart. Though she and I will probably email more than she and Phillip will. We get along super and that is so nice. We took her out to dinner the other night and had a lot of fun. Miss you Sarah :(
