Got shave?

Ok,  here's an embarrassing experience that might be a bit much for some of you guys.  It's one of those lessons you should avoid at all costs, male or female.  I had a brilliant and cunning plan.  Evil Twin was nodding her head and smiling the entire time I explained it to her.  Cat just looked at me like I sprouted an extra pie hole.

I have these lovely little black and pink exercise shorts that are great for swimming, biking, and running.  Let me take that back.  They are SUPPOSED to be great for all these things. 

Geeky Lady shows some arm.

They stick to your waist and legs so they are awesome in the pool but they have a huge seam that rubs in a very sensitive area of the female anatomy.  Oops.   For my last race, I cleverly grabbed some duct tape and carefully covered that bothersome seam.  Um....Ew.    It seemed like such a good idea at the time.  Unfortunately, the duct tape bunched up and created seams of its own.  I didn't get any chafing but it kept sticking to my oh-my-my when I removed the shirts.  I had an epiphany.  I SHALL REMOVE THE TAPE!!  Hahahahaha.  Um....gee, what's left after you remove duct tape?  A clean, adhesive-free surface, right?  HECK NO!  Adhesive.  I told myself it would be ok.  The shorts should feel better now.

Bikini wax anyone?

Evil Twin is still laughing.

Whack.

Code name WhatTheHeck

The project will be known as WhatTheHeck and represents our neighborhood sentiments this week when construction equipment arrived and started to disturb the peace across the street.  There are now many gaps in the lot formerly called "The Woods" and a large plywood sign is clumsily perched on a tree identifying it's number. 

In the end, we are all just numbers, right?  

This is what Evil Twin tells me.  She loves Person of Interest.  (So do I.)

So WhatTheHeck?  That's right. The coyotes, raccoons, deer, skunk, bobcat, and other potential roadkill are now seeking new hiding places. 

Evil Twin says it's the Aliens again.  She is stuck on that theme, just like that show Ancient Aliens  that usually presents the only answer to anything that can't easily be explained as Aliens (Imagine that!) 

Um, well, Evil Twin loves that show, too.

WhatTheHeck is changing my view outside my front window.  Yes, I am THAT neighbor, constantly at the window to see what is happening.  This is between workouts, snack breaks, teaching classes, gardening, comforting cat, playing WWF, and all the other things that I actually do during the day! 

No, really.

Anyway, WhatTheHeck is surely a government conspiracy to control me. I'll let it change me, or at least change my perspective and be entertained by the shenanigans.  The owner of the lot is a neighbor we call "Caveman" because of his wild dark hair.  Oh, and because of his hairstyle, too.  Snort.  He reminds me of a bear.  I think Mama owns the property being ravaged.  Caveman was outside today, shirtless in the warm early spring here in Texas, pointing and gesturing all over the pathetic, almost-naked lot.  I thought I saw Mama Bear, too.  Oh my, I do wish they would just go back into hibernation and leave the land alone.

Cat is not liking all the noise.  Caveman has used the new open space next to his batcave as a track for his dirt bike and other loud toys.

Buzz.  Buzz.  ROAR!  Yee-ikes!  I wish a simple flyswatter would do the trick.

The Woods

Not woods

It was nice while it lasted.
