Aaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwk ward.

(Eyebrows lifted, voice high.....head tilted to the side...)

Ya. So, we have had a changing of the guard in our neighborhood. Our competetive next door neighbor has flown the coop. No more, "Anything you can do, I can do better...I can do anything better than you." NO YOU CAN'T...not anymore because he moved to Vegas. And we were just starting to like him..a little.

Enter family with 4 children 7 and under. Wow. loudness.

But they are not the change I speak of. Our other next door neighbor. Yes. A nice little couple...the man, I'd say is young 40's and the stripper wife...33. She's nice. I was totally getting to know her last summer. She'd come and hang out with me in the front yard when I would have the kids out for a bit.

And then she disappeared. Haven't really seen her since maybe Christmas.

And now the husband has a roommate. A young, "hot" roommate. Um. and now the husband plucks his eyebrows and exfoliates and maybe wears a lil' bit of foundation...and maybe a lil tiny bit of eyeliner.

I find this to totally be a bit of an awkward experience. Our neighbor just came out of the closet...and I kinda miss the stripper.
