Neighborhood Treats

So…the neighbor. You may recall my frustrations with the fucking blue tarp? Yeah. Check out his latest..


Late August

About THREE WEEKS AGO, he spent an hour or so pressure washing this large spot on the side of his house. This is by far the most ghetto-fying measure he’s taken yet. I came home from work to see him there, paint chips spreading in a 20 foot radius, and knew that this, THIS would be my new blue tarp. He shut off the machine and cheerfully told me about the paint they’d chosen. As if he were doing me a big favor, he then informed me that he was starting on our side of the house first.

I’ll keep you posted. True to form, he hasn’t touched it since. It took him 5 months to attempt day two of work on the roof, so we’ll see when he feels called to pressure wash again.

I’m sure one day the house will be beautiful, I’m just not sure we’ll still live here then. You should know, by the way, that I am a very nice and supportive neighbor. I save my bitching for poor SB and you people.

But look at this!

We returned from a bike ride yesterday to see that someone had anonymously left us these lovely cherry tomaotes! How freaking nice is that? I think it was the lady two houses down that I’ve been waving at lately.
