So here is my take on everyone. The 2 houses across the street are a little strange. I am trying to figure out if we have a mad scientist in one house. He has this crazy wiring contraption in his back yard that you can see over his house. It is more visible at night and he has these awful, horrible reflectors in his driveway that I am just waiting for Steven to yank up because they drive us nuts! They are UGLY!!!! All their cars seem to have serious alarms on them because they have crazy flashes lights on them and their yard has ADT alarm system signs all over it! I am telling you it is Doc from Back to the Future. Plus they sit there trash out 2 days earlier then the pick up! If that happened at the apartment community I manage I would get so many complaints!!!
The house catty corner has a husband and a wife with 2 little dogs. I always see her with scrubs on after work like she is a nurse or works in a Dr's office but he is the interesting one. He reminds me of the Lieutenant from The Burbs. I pulled out of my drive way for work one morning and he obviously heard my garage opening and no joke....I saw the mans head peek up from behind his fence while obviously standing on something to get a good look at me when I pulled out of my drive way. I could not stop laughing!! I had to make a block just to see if he popped back down into his back yard. I called Steven and told him that everyone is trying to get a good look at the new neighbors!
One night last week Steven and I were cooking dinner for his friend that was coming over. We were both standing in our kitchen and could hear Ella barking and barking and I asked Steven if his friend was here since Ella was going nuts. The door bell did not ring nor did we hear a knock but Ella was going nuts! Steven went to check and the next thing I heard was this lady talking and I was pretty sure it was the neighbor that I had met last week that told me she was waiting to meet me. She literally stood in my yard with her dogs waiting for me to come outside and had the nerve to say.."I've been waiting for you to come out!" Yep!!! This is the lady the high school kid told us about AKA Ricky! She literally let herself in our house before Steven even opened the door! I don't even know this ladies name is the best part but she had the nerve to literally just walk into my house! Praise the Lord she told us she is moving and she was asking questions about our property line verses hers...which is none of her business...figure it out yourself LADY!!! As she stood there making up stuff to talk about Steven and I looked at her so confused as she scanned the entire house that she could see from the fron entry and said...."Well it looks nice in here." Steven replied..."Oh well we still need to get the dining room and office put together."... Her response.."Oh well the owners before were just ridiculous on how they how this house decorated!" EXCUSE ME!!! That is the whole reason I loved this house because they had it so well kept and decorated so nicely!! We were so confused....she stood there it felt like for an hour just being nosey there was no purpose at all for her being there. When she finally left Steven and I stood there speechless just looking at each other laughing when all the sudden we hear our glass door open AGAIN!!!!!!!! YES IT WAS HER!!!! Just peeking in again....to ask...."Oh by the way what's your last name?" Steven was so caught off guard that she had just let herself back into our house he just said Malone in complete shock! And after she left we locked everything and thought what the heck!!!! Praise the Lord they are moving!!!
We are for sure the youngest couple on the block and I guess we seem a little mysterious to all of them. I can only imagine what will happen when we have our 1st party or get together for a sporting event!!
I am still keeping my eyes peeled for this guy with an ax!!
Welcome to The Burbs!
