Welcome!

I'm often amazed and confused by the bizarre happenings behind the closed and competitive doors of the typical suburban home. The following is a place to share my thoughts and reflections on daily life as I try to navigate this crazy and wonderful world.

Outside My Car Window. . .


. .and peeking into yours!

I can see you ya know.
Just because we are separated by a couple of panes of glass doesn't mean you are invisible.
Just because you paid extra for tinting...doesn't mean I can't see you!

Yes. I see you when you are picking your nose. So does everybody else. It is not attractive sweetie.

You are not invisible as you pop that zit on your chin. As a matter of fact, when it back splashed onto your rear view mirror I threw up in my mouth a little.

Hey you! You know my kids and I are lovin the way you are singing and rocking out with total abandon to the Killers, but dude, the light is green. Time to go.

Are you aware that many of us feel it is unsafe to read a book while driving? Do you think we don't see you reading while driving?

Seriously? Eating an ice cream sundae? One hand to hold the ice cream, the second to scoop the gooey goodness into your mouth. You do not have a hand left over for driving let alone that chocolate syrup that is running down your chin.

Texting while driving. That is why I am shaking my head at you. Clearly you know you are not invisible, but do you think you are invincible?

I do like that shade of lip gloss..but only porn stars put it on that way...ahhhh.
I get it, you were HOPING someone was looking.

Oh...and dear sir..we can see the girl in your lap.

When you are driving around in the Suburbs, someone is always looking.

Don't get too many tinted windows over here - thank goodness - imagine all the exciting things we'd be missing out on!!

Gigi said...

Too true, too true! Today we were almost sideswiped by not one, but TWO, people texting and driving. ::sigh::
BTW - thanks for stopping by and saying such nice things. I think I'm going to stay awhile and poke around . . . if you don't mind.

Gigi said...

I know I posted a comment earlier - darn it.
Anyway, repeat - thanks for stopping by and saying such nice things. I poked around your blog a bit and loved it so much, I've decided to follow if you don't mind!

All so very true! It ia AMAZING and sometimes downright embarassing what a person sees in other's car windows.

People are always interesting, aren't they?

Baking Momma said...

You are so right! ha ha.

The Half Assed Housewife said...

What are the odds that you would be stopped in traffic beside me 7 times? I wouldn't have believed it if you hadn't so clearly detailed all of my driving sins. Did you see me eat that booger too?

Christy said...

ill do that.

I love catching people picking their nose while driving. I wonder what goes through their head that makes them think doing 70 on the freeway is the best time to dig for gold.

Busy Bee Suz said...

You really saw me eating the ice cream sundae??? oh, so embarassed. :)

Tami said...

We have massive tinted windows here in Los Angeles. AND THEY THINK THE SAME THING! Hello I SAW YOU PICK YOUR NOSE AND WIPE IT ON YOUR SEAT! I point and Caleb and I laugh.. I'll roll down my 7yo's window so he can stare.. See Caleb.. picking your nose is nasty.. how much you wanna bet he eats it? LOL That gets Caleb laughing and pointing.

I love lil kids when they do my dirty work for me.. heh heh

Lizzie said...

darn, i didn't think anyone could see me rockin out! and it wasn't the killers, it was prince, 1980's prince as a matter of fact :)

Martha said...

Where's the neighborhood nosepicker without tinted windows?? Oh, that's right, he's visiting my city.

Theta Mom said...

In NJ, there are MANY cars with tinted windows. I actually got them tinted so the kids were more comfortable in the car.

I am guilty of rocking out to the radio superstar! LOL

Kerree said...

Please stop talking about nose picking. Y'all making me ill :)

CarmenSinCity said...

Eve said...

Missy said...

That was you at the red light?

Colleen said...

HA! Reminds me of the time we got pulled over after rolling through a stop light, and when the cop came up to the car he said "Must be hard trying to drive an eat that Whopper at the same time". We were totally embarrased with our fast food hanging out of our mouths!

Marbella Designs said...

There is always someone watching...so come on people, get a clue! ha ha

Honey Mommy said...

Seriously, I have seen most of those things too and it always makes me wonder! Who are these crazy people?

Julie said...

Just getting caught up on my blog reading. Happy Sunday!

Adventures In China said...

Too funny! I miss driving, I don't have a car here in China. But I don't miss the weird things drivers do around me!

LZ said...

Crap - does that mean you see me putting on lipstick at every red light? I was hoping I didn't see anyone I knew...

Pam said...

Texting while driving seriously scares me. More than talking on the cell phone. I'm not sure how anyone thinks they can actually text and still be paying attention to the road. If they kill themselves, I'm not too concerned, but when they put the rest of us in danger, I do get worried. For the life of me I can't understand why this isn't illegal everywhere. Ok, rant over. Sorry about that!

love it and oh so true!

I thought of this post at four a.m. when we were driving home from the hospital. Looking in the car in front of me, my head pounding, I had to do a double take because I was POSITIVE I had seen two heads just a second ago. Two stoplights later, it was back! I guess what do you expect at 4 a.m.?
