Today I wore a skirt to work for the 3rd day in a row. While there were positive reactions on Tuesday, there were no reactions today. We went to Subway for lunch. We drove to the house after work and I cleaned the bathroom while Justin dusted the fans, vents and blinds
.
The fake lake has no ducks. I think it's all around unbeautiful except for in the evening, when the lights from the basketball court shine upon it. We did catch someone fishing there this afternoon.
.
Also, Justin's second attempt to meet the other neighbors failed. They were in the yard when we arrived, so he introduced himself and me. The man said 'welcome' and went back to whatever yard work he was doing. The woman didn't even look up. We still don't know what their names might be.
.
Today's Question of the Day? is:
.
What nickname should we use for our somewhat anti-social neighbors*?
.Love,
The Asker

*Until we find out their real names.

Hee hee hee. I think you just met the President and Secretary for the HOA!!! In which case, I wouldn't mess around with nicknames! You wouldn't want the HOA President to think you have a personality!!
Okay, I had to order Killer Bunnies from a comic book store. I went yesterday to pick it up (and since it was just right next to the snow cone shop, Jess and I HAD to get some refreshing and delicious snow cones.) I got to meet Comic Book Guy in person!!
Okay, he was more joyful and less snide than Comic Book Guy, but still!!
Let's call them "The Welcome Committee" for their very warm reception of their awesome new neighbors.
Argh! I can't believe they weren't so excited that they couldn't refrain from hugging you guys.
with respect to the illegal activities you witnessed yesterday, my word verification is "FISHER". Maybe that would be a good nickname for someone, too.
Ah yes.....nick names.
Mr. Flagpole, Mr. Suicide......
(two names from our neighborhood)...hmmm
Perhaps since you don't know much about them....yet.....
he could be "Mr. Welcome" and she could be "Ms. Don't Have Time"
BTW, the two names from above were
our neighbors who did not talk to neighbors AT ALL. Seemed to not hear you and/or completely ignored you. Life goes on.........
One still remains on our street.
ha! Can you guess which one? ha!
No really, Mr. Suicide threatened to commit suicide after he lost his job(probably 10-15 years ago) and there was a police standoff, lights flashing..the whole 9 yards.
He finally surrendered......spent time in prison for embezzling $$$$
(that is really why he was fired)
Eventually he was back at the house with his wife and stepdaughter. They had a new car, a new boat....and then they moved.
Kristen nicknamed him "Mr. Suicide"
He was very unfriendly...and wierd.
Guess he just did not want to get
'chummy' with the neighbors.
:)
I think they should be called, "Friendly and Shy" like a gangster couple. Once they see you a few more times and talk to you, hopefully they will be more neighborly. Once the weather is a bit cooler, neighbors come out of their houses more. Maybe you will have a National Night Out party and meet everyone, or better yet, host it!
@Anne
You guys are gonna LOVE killer bunnies! The rules do not include everything you'll need for some cards - make up house rules for them!
@Asker
I think you should make up wild stories about them. They're actually Russian spies, trying to escape the fuzz. Call them Chucky "Fingers" McGee and Black Mamba (nobody has said her real name since the Helsinki Incident of aught-five).
I shall call them They Who Live On The Left.
Mom, I do remember Mr. Flagpole, aka, Mr. Personality. I do not remember Mr. Suicide, even though there was such a rememberable story to him.
Phylicia's dad?
Or was it Alicia?
