I always feel like somebody’s watching me

Today we were outside chainsawing our way through all the dead fall (leftover no doubt from Hurricane Isabel) that the former owners never cleaned up. While taking a break, I noticed someone was putting something in our mailbox.

Later, there was something laying in the driveway. The better-half went out there and it was a flyer/invitation to participate in Easter festivities at the southern baptist church that our neighbor lady goes to.

About 10 minutes later, someone rolls into the driveway. As I was not wearing a bra (sometimes I just have to be free), I ran upstairs to put one on. The better-half opened the door and it was another neighbor bearing gifts. She and her son seemed nice enough. They thought we had a child since the gossip was that a little one was seen on premises. The better-half said that was the Niece. (Hold the phone, someone saw our trip through the woods and now it is community gossip?) When they left the better-half held up a small box and said, “they made them at church”. A chocolate easter egg in a box with bible scriptures from you guessed it, the same freakin’ church as the lady down the street and the family across the street call their spiritual home.

I said we’ve fallen into the cult neighborhood and the better-half asked if he should mix up the kool-aid.

    Yeah…that’s just creepy.

    By the way, I hardly ever wear a bra while in my own yard doing yard work. There’s just no reason we should feel self concious IN OUR OWN YARDS! Go away you crazy church people!
