2/2 neighborhood watch

In the morning I like to open the front window and curl into a tiny corner of the couch. It's quiet and often still dark...sadly. But it's become my routine to nurse the baby and relax into the morning.

I've become a bit of a neighborhood watch. My nature makes me nosey...the lady across the street has a strange, obsessive and new relationship with her dog. She marches around in sweatpants and strange wide-brimmed hats...up and down the sidewalks. The elderly couple next door are predictable beyond belief. Constantly backing one of their two maroon cars up and down the drive. Pulling into our driveway, parking on the street, moving the other car, back into the driveway, the husband finally gets into the running car - the wife yelling at hime all along the way - in between every step of this activity.

The younger couple across the street are hilarious. He goes to school for his MBA and chills all day (my kinda guy!!) and I'm not sure what she does but I imagine she's a bank teller or something. Anyway, she acts like every morning is antartic and starts warming her car up at least 30 mins before she leaves for work. The other day it sat there warming up for 42 minutes. (Yes, I watched the clock b/c I'm eco-concious and trying to be quietly entertained while my baby grants me 30 minutes of quiet while she cat naps...see: nosey)
