Our weekend was one for the books! Ok, not really. At all. But I'll tell you about it anyway because I'm a blogger and that's what I do.
Blogging-Giving readers more information than they really needed to know/cared to know about your life.
1. So yesterday morning, we awoke at 7:30 to the sound of weed-eaters and lawn mowers right outside our bedroom window. Our neighbors, who are a young, able-bodied couple that could mow their own 20 feet of lawn, hire out mowers each week. And for the past two weeks, said neighbors have had mowers coming at 7:20 a.m. to have their lawn mowed.
ON A SATURDAY.
1 foot from our bedroom window.
Now before you say, "Well can't you report them to the POA for some noise violation?", let me tell you this: Our neighbor is also the POA President.
So. We are currently plotting really loud and obnoxious ways of getting them back. If you have suggestions, please let me know. I'm all about giving someone a taste of their own medicine. We could maturely ask him to have his mowing squad come a bit later in the a.m., but the guy is also a lawyer and, therefore, incapable of mature discussion ; )
(I kidd. I have nothing against a lawyer. Just the one living next door to us.)
2. I got fresh highlights. See pic below. Fresh highlights= happy girl.

3. We are currently watching Glee seasons on Netflix and watched the Britney Spears-themed episode tonight. We then proceeded to go to YouTube and watch every old-school Britney music video in existence. Let me just say, I really miss the old, hot Britney from back in the day.
What'd y'all do this weekend?
Be blessed, lovelies-
I nested and nested and nested all weekend! LOVE your hair and my obnoxious neighbor is ALSO the HOA president. He was revoted in this year. REVOTED. He has one of the ugliest lawns in the neighborhood and doesn't even live here during the entire summer season. He also hires a landscaping business that failed to go to HIS house last summer, cut OUR lawn too short, killed it right after my husband fertilized, and shot a rock into our siding.
ReplyDeleteFor real...
Ugh- hate people who do annoying things like that! can't wait to hear what happens. also LOVE the necklace you have in your highlights pick!
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me that I am in SUCH a need of a refreshed look with an appointment with my hair gal!!! Love your hair ...
ReplyDeletei hate waking up to the sounds of lawn mowers and weed eaters! our townhouse complex hires out too, and it always seems like they have to start at the crack of dawn!
ReplyDeletefresh highlights are amazing and so is that necklace! Where is that from?
ReplyDeleteI sat and watched Torey play softball alllll weekend long. In the wind and rain. Thank heavens for blankets, coffee, and warm clothes. It sucked but they got 2nd in the tourney so that makes it all worth it right?
ReplyDeleteAs a lawyer, I say you write him a hilarious cease and desist letter with some random demands. lawyers do paper well, we respond to written BS all the time... and if that does not work... toilet paper him!
ReplyDeleteI would write him a nice letter--the least he can do is say 'no', but I totally understand not wanting to get into anything with your neighbor --especially a POA president and lawyer. All I have to say to him is 'how rude'! Anywho, your highlights look great! Have a good week!
ReplyDeleteWhat an obnoxious neighbor!! I like your hilarious plotting plan! ;) I hope you get some good suggestions!
ReplyDeleteAnd those highlights are fabulous - can't wait to get my hair done next Friday!
LOL @ Illegally Blonde's suggestion...I'd totally go with that one!!
ReplyDeleteLovely highlights, and I'm with everyone else that said that necklace is fab! :)
The Britney episode of Glee is still to this day the best episode they have ever aired. Amazing. The Heather girl that plays Britney S. Pearce is such an amazing dancer!!! And ew to your obnoxious neighbors!!!! awful.

I'd say spend a few Saturdays getting up at 6 am (not fun I know) & mow your yard then. I'm sure they're not up that early.
ReplyDeleteLaugh and frolic loudly in the yard. Half way through, have your husband yell to you "Oh darn hon. We need a part for the weed eater. We'll have to finish EARLY tomorrow morning too."
Other option: if you see your neighbors, tell them that you're looking for a lawn person (even if you're not). Say you'd like the name of their guys, but then say "The only problem is....do that ALWAYS come at 7 am on Saturdays? We never get a chance to sleep in, & they're really loud."
Option 3: Turn on a loud noise machine on Friday night to muffle the sound.
Good luck!
Ha I love this! Maybe invest in an amazing pair of ear plugs?

Fresh highlights always makes a girl feel better!
ReplyDeleteLOVEEE this necklace. Where did you get it??
ReplyDeleteLOVE the gold necklace...where did you find such a beauty?
ReplyDeleteHmmm...
ReplyDeleteNeigbhors...
Revenge...
The week that their lawn isn't going to be mowed, you guys get up and make all the noise you can. Talking loud, banging on stuff, or mow your lawn.
Your neighbors sound like such peaches.... I hope you detected the snip in my thoughts from that ;)
ReplyDeleteWe have noisy neighbors that like to rev up their dirt bike engines at 10 PM on a week night... or 11 PM or sometimes 12... nice right? Drives me crazy. My only saving grace... it's going to be calling the cops. Seriously. Apparently he gets them called on him a lot so I'm not alone.
As far as your neighbors... maybe take time to one day mow your lawn very loud back at them... on any given day... probably is this requires getting up earlier than you'd like... or maybe pay off the lawn people ;) make them come back later.
Sorry to hear about your neighbor! What if you put a copy of the neighborhood's rules/regulations, with the noise violation circled, into his mail box.
ReplyDeleteHe wont have any idea who it came from!
Fork the yard between your houses. Fork it really good. The yard crew will have to spend time cleaning it up before they can start which will buy you extra time or they will tear up their lawn mowers which will really buy you extra time.
