Weird Wow Moment!
Well, I had a first yesterday afternoon. It was a wow moment in a weird sort of
way. Our neighbors right across the street are both nice people. I used to
babysit for them. Their son Alex is 19 months old now and is a sweetie. They
both were working nights at Dana. I'd have the baby from 8pm to 8am Sunday thru
Thursday nights. His dad would drop him off and pick him up. Suddenly in May
they decided she would go to dayshift and take him to a daycare. That was fine
by me. They're not the sort of people who like to visit alot but we all wave
and say hi when we see each other. Yesterday afternoon I called and left a
message on her phone that if they wanted some tomatoes that they were more than
welcome to come and get them. She came over about 4pm and stayed 30-40 mins
just talking with me. Durning our conversation she started dropping little
hints that the neighbor right beside them (the man) kept staring at me
everytime I'm outside. If I am tanning on my front porch or just out with Adam.
I was out in the front yard playing with the puppies and Allison one afternoon
last week, this lady was on her front porch with the little boy, her hubby was
mowing. We all waved and that was pretty much it. She said yesterday that their
next door neighbor looked at me the whole time I was out there. Well I couldn't
care less about that b/c I am a happily married woman and even if I wasn't
married, I don't think so. She kept hinting that I shouldn't tan on my front
porch (my father in law lives in the back yard, I am not tanning out there
where he can see me. Thats gross) She even said I should hang blankets up if I
am going to lay out so the guy next door to them won't be staring at me. I
thought the whole conversation was a touch too weird and just kind of mumbled
something at her. If I put up blankets around my deck it would block the view
from her house. I was telling Adam (their names are Richard and Rhonda, the guy
next to them is John) what Rhonda had been saying and he just laughed and said
she was probably jealous cause Richard was looking over here. I mean, to hear
her talk, her husband constanly watches their neighbor John, who supposedly
constantly watches me. I guess maybe she thinks I am still to fat to be out
tanning in public. I don't know. I don't wear a string bikini by no means and I
wear a skirt or cut off jeans on my bottoms. Adam said he wouldn't worry about
it cause I asked him if I was still to fat to tan and he was like NO! Now I am
starting to think about why all of the sudden before she got her day shift job,
she started bringing the baby over and picking him up when for months it was
daddy cause supposedly he didn't fuss when dad dropped him off. He never fussed
anyway, he just wouldn't sleep all night. Oh well. The wow "weird" thing about
this is, if she is jealous I've never had that happen before What do u think? Should I continue to tan on my own property? I even
told her she should come over and tan with me but she got out of that. She told
me to tell Adam that her husband Richard was wanting to come over and sit and
talk with him, I guess just to shoot the breeze or whatever, this next weekend
when Adams off but I told Adam if I keep tanning she might not let him. Yes, I
am terrible to think its a wow moment if she is jealous but I have never
flirted with her husband or that other idiot or anyone. Well, not since I got
married. Ok, just thought I'd share. Gotta go cook Adams supper...I will admit
this, it did boost my moral some! Ok, someone smack my hands!!!
Angela, very odd situation indeed! This one will probably keep you guessing and drive you crazy. It's one of those cases where you just can't please everyone, so please yourself and don't look back. Mainly, I wanted to post to let you know that your transformation is remarkable. I did not realize that it was "you" in your avatar photo until I checked out your profile and viewed the old photos. Your looking great, best of luck on PS, and keep up the good work.
