were soooo those people

the past week ive been glared at by old ladies for having loud kids, been reamed by strangers in small talk for lettting my cat have kittens, gotten a note about the dog being too noisy, and then an anonymous letter in the mail...ya..postmarked and everything... about the front of our yard. (theres still a big dirt pile in our driveway)



who the hell cares? i mean..really.
maybe we are being ridiculously irresponsible by spending our time & money on family trips (and alcohol), for some reason brandon and i evidently believe there might not be a tomorrow!? OR, uh i dont know..that maybe our kids are only going to be little once!! ...something inside us says "LIVE!!" so...when we grow up and start spending our time washing our cars and keepin up on our yard, ill let you know. until then..when we have a few days off , and an extra couple hundred sitting around, were renting kayaks and heading up the mountain again. cause this weekend was amazing!!! pics coming soon.

oh, and now the goat is in our backyard. shhhh...dont tell the passerby!!

wow. But you guys just planted grass! Is it really that bad? geesh, passerby.

You should do like my dad did when someone complained about the boat temporarily in front of their house (like 2 weeks!). Big sign saying "MYOB." (mind your own business)

ooooh, maybe it was the same passerby!

PS. My dad says to tell you that some people just go around looking for things to complain about, which is what the cops told him during the boat storage debacle. He added to not be too upset about it; your lawn looks very nice and you can probably just recycle, whatever, that concrete (which is where he lost me. :))

Crotchety passerby. Have some cake.

at least you're not one of those other people... the kind that don't have the balls to tell you that they think your yard looks like shit. instead, they waste a fricking stamp and mail you a goddamn letter?!?! pussies!!!
dude, you're yard looks sweet with the new lawn and pretty flowers that the kids planted. seriously, i will fight any passerby who tries to say otherwise.

That's just Pleasanton for you. I think my parents once got a nasty note for not watering their lawn. Anonymous, of course. My beef is, leave the note if you must, but have the balls to sign it! A passerby? Please, it's a neighbor. A passerby doesn't care.
Besides, the lawn looks good.
And did you say there is a GOAT in your backyard? We're coming over! :)

HAHA- That shit is hilarious. You guys should really get your shit together...

Reina said...

Just kidding- People just dont have anything better to do with themselves. Maybe they should actually do something valuable with all of that extra time they have on their hands... like helping people out. SHit.. Fucking nosie rosies...

Move out of Pleasanton. You could sell that place and buy acres up here.

Don't you remember hearing about that pink house up on Foothill Rd. that got reamed by the CITY for painting their house a color not deemed fit for the aesthetic of the town?

THIS is why I can't stand Pleasanton. And my mom wonders...

Welcome to P-town! Don't take it personally. When you get a letter from Pleasanton... then take it personally. I have a funny story.... one of my parents neighbors painted their mailbox purple. the neighbor complained and told them it looked awful and they needed to change it. So, not only did they leave the mailbox purple, but they painted their front door purple!!! HA! That was like 2 years ago and it's still purple. I would put a sign up in the front of your house that said something like "Welcome to our disgrace. Love and laughter live beyond these walls." DO IT!

hello my fellow bloggins, thanks for all the response. =)
Julie, I love your sign idea. so rad. i just might do that!! =)
leslie, your parents have the most beautiful house on this street. i couldnt believe someone would complain about thier boat. i remember the MYOB sign. ha ha.
And dude, alyssa..seriously...Show yourself passerby!!! pussy!!
thanks for gettin my back jen. ha ha. This is OUR TOWN!!! HOLLA!!
Lareina, for reals yo. how about a little love from the people ya know? (on a lighter note, most people who pass by say "lookin good!" or "keep up the good work")
peanut...this town is my heart and soul. my family is here. my friends are here. i once attempted to move to issaquah, had a nice little cheap 3 bed townhome with my name on it...broke down at the last minute.
tonight we will be riding our bikes downtown to meet up with friends at concerts in the park , sit on the grass, drink wine. tuesday i will be walking across the street to see juniper off on her first day of kindergarten with her daddy's backpack from the same school. these are the moments i live for. im just a sentimental weirdo. =) and a california girl for life.
