incidentally, they are not very friendly either....

The houses are close together in my neighborhood, which was attractive to me when I purchased my home a few years ago. Tiny yards are great as I firmly believe that life is too short to spend all summer mowing and doing yard work. However, this past Sunday morning my neighbors put on a show for me that makes me to want to slit my eyelids and kill off the remaining brain cells that are retaining that memory and image. Yep, it was that bad. This couple, who by the way are NOT young and NOT cute (even with clothes on) decided to take advantage of an open window shade at my house. They put on a little performance right in front of their window which happens to be directly across from my living room. Do I think they know this? Well...maybe they are completely blind. This unfortunate (and ugly) scene was brought to my attention by my sister who was visiting from Chicago and starting her morning in my living room with the news on the TV. Suddenly she is making little gasping noises and asking me about the people next door. First she sees an elbow, then a wrist and next thing you know a full, naked back. I casually stroll to the front door to take a sideways glance and sure enough...they are putting on a little choreographed act, which appears to be for our benefit. It must have been quite a challenge for them to stand, squarely in front of their window, to put on this show.

At my house, all you have to do is pull up the blinds and voila' free porn! That is if you can stomach an out-of shape, middle-aged couple with bad skin. Minutes after I pulled the blind in disgust my doorbell rang and I almost jumped right out of my jammies. It was a different neighbor coming to say hi to my sister. She wanted a peek but it seems as soon as we closed the blind the show was over.
