Bad neighbors, fairies, and butterflies..oh my

I know it's been a few days since I posted but I just haven't felt like doing much online. Let's see...let's start out with the bad neighbors. We've lived in this house for a year and 8 months. The people to the left of us have never had much to do with us. The man has made small talk with Mike if they're both out there doing yard work but that just about covers it. I wave at them but they just turn around and walk off. They're not friendly at all! Mike mowed the lawn on Saturday morning. On Sunday afternoon the doorbell rang and when I answered it, she was standing there. I opened the door and this is what she said, " Hi, I'm Lydia your neighbor. I would appreciate it if you'd tell your husband not to mowe any part of our lawn. He mowed yesterday and crossed your property about 2"over on to ours. Our property line starts at the gate there so please tell him not to cross it." I have a better idea cupcake! Tell him yourself! I just stood there for a sec....are you stinkin kidding me?! We've lived here for over a year and a half and this is the first thing I hear from you?! Why don't you take your ridiculously anal butt (no pun intended..lol) back home! Did you see me over at her house last month when they came out with the weed killer and killed nearly all of our grass on that side? No you didn't. Like her stinkin grass won't grow back in a week. She's really pissed now. Mike put a couple of stakes out there with a rope running down the lawn to ensure that he doesn't mowe any of her grass...lol. I can't stand people like this. She really needs a hobby. Moving along....

I stitched on my fairy for a bit last Friday night and here's what she's looking like. She's coming along nicely but I wish she was a little closer to being done. Oh well...hopefully I'll get to hang her for Halloween. That is if we're not living somewhere else by Halloween...

That brings me to the butterflies. I've got big ones in my stomach with this whole job thing. Some of Mike's supervisors (both current and previous) told him they got calls today about him. They have his transcripts...they checked his references....I have a sneaking suspicion that we're gonna know something in the next day or so and I don't know why. Just a feeling I guess. I want him to have it but I'm scared to death. I've lived here since I was 5 and I'm 31. I've never lived more than 10 minutes away from my family. If he gets this job it's 1,200 miles away. My best friend and I have known each other since we were 10 and I can't imagine not being able to just pop over or go out with her. I know if he's meant to have it he will and if not there will be something else...I just wish we knew because it's really stressing me out.

I was folding laundry on my bed yesterday. I put some away and came back to get some more to discover that someone had quickly made herself a bed in the 5 minutes I was out of the room. Does she look comfy or what?
PIF's- I finished up Missy's PIF gift yesterday! It'll be winging it's way to Saipan tomorrow morning. I'll post a pic as soon as she receives it.

I wish my neighbor would cut part of my grass. He's welcome to do my entire yard if he wishes. lol

Loved the doggie pic. I hope you didn't disturb that cutie pie.

We've lived here just over 3 years and don't know any of our neighbors. Of course, Missouri is notoriously "unfriendly". I can't believe she complained about him cutting the grass though... my neighbors are welcome to cut ours anytime LOL

It can be incredibly stressful moving away from everyone! I hope everything goes well for you-- both of you :)
