white trash lunch

Normally I spend my Friday lunch at a nice downtown eatery, or even at the Church Office Building cafeteria.

Oh no, not today. I had lunch in the projects (don't deny it, Tiff). OK it's not really the projects. More like "the other side of the tracks."

Highlights:
- crossing the railroad tracks
- the crazy neighbor wearing an over-sized T-shirt (and no pants), carrying a chihuahua and gardening.
- said crazy neighbor then bending over to do something, and showing her large behind (including crack) for all to see. (I'm not sure she was wearing undies)
- ducking for cover during a drive by. ... OK this really didn't happen, but how cool would that make my white trash lunch story.

The best highlight, however, was Wendy using a push lawnmower in Tiffany's neighbors yard. On her lunch break. In nice clothes. And flip flops.


Wendy will hereafter be known as Duchess Green Toe (thanks for the duchess tip, Tiff).

(word to the wise, don't mow the lawn -- especially with a push mower -- in flip flops and then return to work the rest of your afternoon).

Couple things. 1) The projects? I've only been once but I don't think oak trees, tended flower beds and Audis resemble the projects 2) that was not an oversized T-shirt. It was my elderly neighbor in a house dress 3)Drive by? You wouldn't know a drive-by if it nailed you in the head. 4) And white trash? The perjorative term should be used sparingly, at best...nonetheless half the block is brown, and the other half are either journalists or college professors so do your research And finally, yes, I concur....Wendy will hear after be known as Duchess Green Toe

Please allow the author to take some liberties here, because really, little white Leigh has never been to the projects, so this is the closest bet. And house dress or over-sized T-shirt, either way, that is just wrong.

Were you in my neck of the woods? No-pants Chihuahua lady is MY neighbor!

that depends, Amy. Did she wear it out in the front yard and then bend over and show the neighbors her backside?

If you think THATS bad...never mow the lawn in flip flops after it rains...it's totally disgusting. Alas, I should have read this post before I suffered such a fate.
